This is me trying to win an awesome photography tool - it allows the creation of 'bokeh' (out of focus areas in a photo) in post production (so, after you've taken the photo and are messing with it on the computer). Have to link to the website for an extra chance to win, and I'm taking all the chances I can get :-) http://iheartfaces.blogspot.com/2009/04/alien-skin-bokeh-giveaway.html | | Monday, February 2nd, 2009 | | 3:47 pm |
The kitten (possibly to be called "Chester"  | | Sunday, July 27th, 2008 | | 5:24 pm |
Read this. Beautiful, moving, heartbreaking... | | Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 | | 11:56 am |
A message to Ernie: When I'm sitting on the toilet with diarrheoa, you sitting on my shoulder, saying "Come on" is NOT going to help. | | Saturday, December 23rd, 2006 | | 11:58 pm |
Before I forget, I have to write this work incident down. Patients range from the serious to the absurd - tonight it was a brain tumour till an erection that was "uncontrollable" (!) The father of a 2 1/2 year old came to triage, saying his son had been vomiting for a few days, and now had an "impressive aurora borealis " WTF?! Who names their erections something they can barely pronounce?! And what does he mean by "uncontrollable"? I mean, is it disturbing others? Is it wrecking the peace by poking out people's eyes? These will all one day make it to my book. | | Saturday, November 18th, 2006 | | 1:47 am |
And one final post for the night. I'm SO proud of this photo....  | | 1:18 am |
click here for aussie size 10-12 hippie/sexy/funky clothes from my ebay stuff. I need money. That's not to say buy them out of pity. Only if you like them. They're all in good condition. | | Wednesday, February 8th, 2006 | | 4:16 pm |
Melbourne photograph
This is an appeal to ANYONE who lives in Melbourne. If you are going to the Victoria Markets soon, my Mum has lost a photograph she bought there, which she has sentimental value attached to, given that we holidayed there together. SO. If you are going there, I will GIVE YOU MONEY to go to the stall (the photographers' stall with all of the black and white photos, mainly of Melbourne - you'll know the one). It's a black and white photograph of a tram, front on, apparently. She can't remember much more than that. I know this is all very vague, and I'm sorry, but she and I would be forever grateful if you could help. It was the smaller size, mounted on black board. I would estimate about 15 x 20cm in total, including the board. ANYONE????? email me @ larrielou@hotmail.com | | Monday, August 25th, 2003 | | 10:35 am |
I am a waste of Livejournal space. | | Monday, March 10th, 2003 | | 11:09 pm |
A long time ago, Brian's father walked in on us. I'm the stupid one for sharing that story with friends, I know. But it's no consolation when people bring it up on the 21st birthday video tape... And I watch it for the first time in front of Brian's parents. | | Tuesday, February 11th, 2003 | | 7:25 pm |
There are definite disadvantages to having a boyfriend that lives with his parents. Such can be exampled by the conversation that occured between myself and Brian's mum on Sunday night. Coming down the stairs, hot and flushed from being tickled while watching the movie "A Bug's Life". "That was great!" I said, pulling a sweaty strand of hair away from my forehead. ..."I mean, the movie was..." I corrected myself when I saw the uncomfortable look on her face. Then blushing, because what else would I mean?.... | | Saturday, November 30th, 2002 | | 9:37 pm |
Go here and tell me that you can figure out what it's advertising within the first 2 seconds of reading the very top line. | | Sunday, November 3rd, 2002 | | 9:59 pm |
So it seems I can't settle for Brian's father walking in on us while we were having sex. It seems I have to spread the embarrassment around a little further. I was on the phone to Kate, saying "There are two parts to this dilemna. His father has not only seen me naked, but also having sex with his son..." That's when I turned around and realised my mother was right behind me, waiting for the right moment to ask if she could have the phone. | | Friday, October 25th, 2002 | | 8:44 pm |
You know, I could be being immature about this. But it still amuses the hell out of me that when things are cooling down, both Brian and I stop and have to re-do our hair. | | Monday, August 12th, 2002 | | 8:54 pm |
When I'm with Brian, I touch him. I will stroke his arm, and rest my head against his chest. Usually he will put his arm around my back and rub it gently, or kiss the top of my head. On Saturday night we went to Dooley's in the valley. He was standing just to the side of me, and I had my hand resting on (what I thought was) his hip. Tracing up and down. I couldn't quite work out why he was being so FRIENDLY - kissing me again and again, until we got home and he said "What was the deal in Dooley's?!!" Turns out I'd been fondling him in the middle of the pub for all to see. Oops. | | Sunday, July 14th, 2002 | | 8:14 pm |
When we went camping, there was a sign on the organic (what IS the word?) toilet, saying "One scoopful per person per day" Brian and I looked at eachother, ignoring the bucket of sawdust the sign was *actually* referring to, and he said "The mind boggles, doesn't it?" | | Friday, June 14th, 2002 | | 4:08 pm |
Sometimes I just want to sit the human body down for a stern talking-to. It's always annoyed the hell out of me when I'm studying the cardiac system, and am going over the compensatory mechanisms the body has for heart failure. For instance, the sympathetic nervous system interprets a lowered cardiac output to mean that it needs to release some epinephrine and norepinephrine which will increase the heart rate, as well as increase the strength of the contractility of the heart. While it initially fixes the problem, it also means that the heart has to work harder, and therefor needs more oxygen to supply its needs. It then tries to decrease the cellular size of the heart, which increases the pressure placed on the heart before it pumps out the blood, when it's ALREADY got too much pressure on it! Meanwhile, the hormonal system has decided it wants a piece of the action, and the lowered cardiac output is detected, resulting in lowered blood flow to the kidneys (because why would our kidneys need blood anyway? Sheesh...) There's a part of the kidneys that interprets this lowered blood volume to mean the body's dehydrated, so it signals for the retention of water and sodium. A BIG thumbs up to the kidneys, considering this in tern increases the arterial pressure, which in turn, causes the posterior pituitary gland to secrete a hormone which further retains water and sodium into an already overloaded system. Like, Der. Haven't they read how bad these compensatory mechanisms really are for the body? Grrrrrrr...... | | Saturday, June 8th, 2002 | | 5:42 pm |
From now on, when I sleep over Brian's, I think I'll aim for a little MORE than 3 hours sleep. (/smug suggestions of my current sex life) | | Tuesday, June 4th, 2002 | | 9:46 pm |
I debated long and hard before finally deciding to post this. My defining reason for relenting? Knowing that there could be others who have shared the same kind of moment, and would somehow benefit from knowing they weren't alone. The other night, during some frisky action between myself and Brian, I... ... ... ... ... farted. | | Friday, May 31st, 2002 | | 11:50 pm |
I handed in my final assignment four hours before it was due. And yes, I do believe that was me dancing down the corridor. Cartwheels were an option, but I opted for personal and other people's safety instead. |
