Heh, what a look SRD has on his face; what'd he say when he saw the tat?

I love this picture! Awesome lighting, awesome action - one person standing still and the other moving... there's a dozen ways to interpret SRD's expression (especially if you weren't there) but the photo itself rocks!

thank you Alynna, i like the photo too. i took a quick series of like seven photos but Wadds and SRD kept moving the whole time and i haven't figured out yet how to get the image stablizer to work in low lighting. there was a big light to the left of Wadds and SRD and i put them up there cause i thought it would give us the best light on the tattoo.

and the whole story of the tat is that i was waiting and waiting the whole evening long for SOMEone, ANYone to mention the tattoo but no one ever did and i was not about to let SRD get outa there without a couple of pics of the tattoo. so i sort of sprung it on him at the end.
i believe that jenn or sea had told him that "the girl with the tattoo" would be there but i'm not sure that he remembered that. so when i began to introduce Wadds, she got up and attempted to "fake sneak" out of the room and i grabbed her and hauled her back so it LOOKED to SRD like she was reluctant and i think he got a little mad at me at first for "embarassing" Waddley! of course i KNEW that she wanted him to see it and possibly even autograph it (we discussed this in the elohimfest previously) and had even dressed for the occasion so that it would be easy to show the tat gracefully. so once he conferred with her that she was cool with showing it, he consented to the pics.
but then i had to tap dance with him a bit more to convince him that i wouldn't have done it without knowing Wadds was cool with it.

i think he finds me a bit annoying. surprise surprise.

Nah, the whole "getting him to sign it" thing was really just a joke. The meaning of the ink is completely is mine, they just happen to be his words that were able to express it. But it's mine and him signing, aside from making him uncomfortable, wouldn't make sense to me.

Anyway, I DO appreciate that you got us up there for the pictures. I'll love them always.
(And chance I can get that one in higher res, Luci?)

Waddley, if you get a nose job, I won't find you as attractive anymore.

Look at Jennifer Grey. Once she got a nose job, it was impossible to tell who she was anymore. And I'm no longer attracted to her anymore.

Just a word of advice.

Love yourself. Or we'll kick your butt.

yeah. my daddy always said "play the hand you're dealt". i think its good advice. your nose is beautiful, Wadds.

i don't know about higher res either. i took the pic. it's on my hard drive.

i haven't dealt with uploading to photobucket all the photos i took. i have to get that all set for Romeo who is compiling them all.

just tell me how to send that one to you and i'll do it. i can send you an invite to the photo bucket and you can get it there i think. right? is that right? i dunno. i'm inept.

Then go ahead and tell the people who say they're a bit overweight to knock it off and stop dieting.

I have just as much right to want to change anything about my body as they do. And Cagliostro, it's not a matter of giving a shit about what others think about my nose, or any other body part. It's a matter of wanting to look at a picture of myself and not think "Dear Lord, something is attacking my face! GET IT OFF!"

And Dude, I DO love myself. Every night. It only takes about three minutes.

ANYWAY, the point is- shut up and let me hate a body part. It's not like I cry myself to sleep about it. Jeeze, people.

um...overweight and dieting is not the same as NOSE SURGERY. sorry wadds, not a good analogy.

overweight is something we've done to ourselves. the nose you were born with.

if you want to complain about it, feel free, go ahead. have at it.

but i have a friend who had a nose job. he was an aspiring actor. he went to hollywood, was doing really well, getting cast on several tv shows.
he was a really really good-looking guy. with a big nose. his nose was so large that sometimes, when he talked, the tip of his nose wiggled. really. it was very funny. we didn't tease him about it tho cause he was so good-looking it didn't matter. it was part of who he was and what made him different looking from all the other generic good-looking guys in hollywood his age. people noticed him.

some dumb ass in hollywood told him he should get a nose job cause it might, MIGHT help his career. so he did.
it was a horrible experience for him. it hurt like a muther and he became addicted to morphine. nice huh? he got so strung out he stopped getting jobs. he couldn't work anymore. he wasn't distinctive enough anymore. he looked like every other schmuck in hollywood trying to get a job.

eventually, he realized he had a substance abuse problem and came back to kentucky to clean up. he did clean up. but his confidence was thoroughly shaken. he didn't go back to hollywood.

all this happened while i was living my life and moving to California and when i went back to Lexington to visit, he was bartending at a bar downtown called Buster's and teaching acting at the local community theater. where he is to this day. he told this story to me. he wished he hadn't done it.

his nose job ruined his career.

just a story about someone i knew that had a nose job.

live with it. it's part of you. complain all you want but we all find you beautiful and love you and that should count for something, Wadds.

I do.

And I take my own advice regarding it, too.

I'm sending high-res versions of all my pics to Romeo. Seems the better way to get them distributed to people.

Well, as a gentleman, *I* couldn't say anything. So I tip my hat to you, Lucimay!

Fine, then I'll just keep my nose out of your affairs.

umm...

yeah.

Personally I think the only beauty that counts is on the inside and therefore we are the most gorgeous bunch that ever walked the earth!

My liver isn't so pretty...

Cagliostro, your attempts to give Waddley a compliment about her nose reminds me of Napolean Dynamite:

I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

Reading this stuff is about as uncomfortable as watching the English version of the Office. In my experience, trying to tell a woman that a particular body part is "just fine" or "no you should totally go ahead and have a surgeon fix it" is a lose-lose scenario for everyone.

Thank you, Malik!! (I think)

And re: that quote, I took a picture of my brother for his myspace because he wanted to use that quote. It was humourous... at least, it was to us. Because we're werid.

Great shot Wadds! your brother is a hottie!

And you'd better believe that he knows it, too. Aside from that, he's a great kid. Love him to death, and he's pretty much my best friend.

Well, it's the way I feel. If I wasn't happily dating someone at the moment, I would have been smoother. I just decided to be perfectly honest. So there.

yeah. i don't pay any attention to malik either.

But I like Malik. He strikes me as the bastard brother I never had. If only my mom had been unfaithful.


sigh.
