• Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
• NO CAPTIONS!!! It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
• They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
• You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

Because I like pictures maybe, or maybe because it's a way of expressing myself without actually getting into the nitty details of 'Why are you so flaky lately, Wendy?' So whatever... Let's just say I like pictures.

First one's free, as always.

1.

( The rest are under the cut. Just the 10 as required. )

So I haven't been playing with my dolls much lately and I was starting to miss them, so I decided I'd sneak Em into my bag and take him to work with me. ^^ On the way to work and on the way home I got some sweet shots - including bus shots (yay bus!! :D) and some sunset pictures that turned out nice with the light. :) Nothing breakthough or artsy here, just sweet shots of a sweet boy. :3

I realized I don't have too many shots of Em - don't know why... I guess he's still pretty new, to me. But I do love him so, so... Ya. Here ya go. :)

I just keep on tickin' I do!

So. Life is strange. I have had... a really really crap week. Like... super crap. I:

- upset a friend, and have been feeling guilty about it
- fought with a friend, and have been anxious about that
- said things I never meant to admit to ever in the real word but then did
- pressed 'send' and then immediately wished I could take it back (the internet sucks like that, though, and yes, this part is related to the previous bit)
- completely blew a job interview for a job I REALLY REALLY wanted... T___T Like blew it BAD. Like... OMG I will eat my hat if they ever call me again...
- considered buying a gun and being one of those crazy people who walks into their previous place of work and shoots everyone who'd been involved in toppling their lives/careers and turned them into paranoid emotional wrecks
- decided against it. I'm not crazy after all. :P But it was an interesting little daydream for all of about 5 minutes
- considered selling all my dolls. Like... all of them. Totally.
- decided against that, too: I'd miss them too much. :(
- considered wiping Alex, getting rid of his splotchy paint-rubbed blushing and his I-have-a-permanent-cold-bc-my-owner-sucks-at-faceup-repair face in its entirety and sending him away to somone to make him beautiful again and... different.
- am still considering that.
- sat beside a really cute guy on the bus yesterday.
- was too shy to do a damn thing about it.
- kicked myself for getting off the bus without saying a word - at least I could have introduced myself... y'know, gotten a name, maybe even a number... why is this so hard? ><
- got a ride home from a coworker and her boyfriend, who are really cute as a couple when they bicker.
- felt the wind against my face, still warm but refreshing on a hot day.
- have been listening to my mp3 player almost incessantly for the past 3 days as a form of mental healing.
- woke up today feeling... good. Oddly, really good. And in a weird way still very depressed and definitely anxious, but... good. Content, maybe.
- feel like my life is crap now, but... know it will get better, one way or another.
- feel strangely like (even though I'm anxious and depressed and worried over what may or may not happen in the next little while) I'm relieved, too. I feel like a weight of stress has been lifted, and even if its making things more awkward than ever to have things out and admitted to... maybe I was just tired of hiding things and trying to ignore my own feelings...
- feel like maybe you have to admit things in order to get over them.
- feel like maybe I can.

And then today I woke up and put on a froofy skirt and was girly and felt the breeze against my bare legs and sashayed to make the fabric rub against my legs and sway when I walk and felt... I really wished I had more money to spend on clothes so I could get some nice girly things for summer that would still be professional enough to wear to work. :3

And then I considered selling dolls again...

And again decided not to.

Still.

Life is odd.

Oh, and then I called the Boy.

And this is me and my life in a nutshell.

I need to go apply to more jobs now. :(

CONTINUATION OF PART 1: http://me-under-glass.livejournal.com/141631.html
Please read Part 1 first.

* * *

It's dark by the time he gets back, having spent another few hours over dinner not only getting his car back to it's glossy black perfection but also finding a quiet, out-of-the-way eatery and easing his tension with a glass of wine and a perfectly bloody steak. The campus has emptied save for a few wandering pockets of students and he's able to pull into a spot much closer to their room. He feels... empty again. His face neutral and eyes cold. This is the way he should feel, this is how he feels comfortable. The throbbing ache of his cheekbone and eyesocket fuels a simmering heat of anger in his gut, of resentment, but it also reminds him to be cautious, and with every suppressed wince of hurt, it also brings a pang of regret. He can't quite decide why he might feel that, but maybe, he thinks, this pain is something he deserves.

( cut for rest )

So, does everyone remember I occassionaly write, too? Yes! It's true. OMG you all say, 'I had no idea!' Well. Yes. Ha. It's been a while since I actually posted anything because I have been lacking the actual time to write anything... but the bug has hit me and hit me hard and OMGoodness, I've actually managed to finish a short piece that I have been writing for oh... at least 3 months. -___-

Now see all, this is why I do not NaNo, ok? Roughly 11.8 k words. 3 months. Ya. Not so fast with the writing am I...

Anyhoo. So this little tidbit I shall call:
"MIT: Minors in Trouble"

Note: Part 2 in next Post, here:
http://me-under-glass.livejournal.com/141845.html

It's a working title. :P

Characters: Con & Ty
Rating: A for Angst - brief nude scene (changing), boys non-con kiss, mild violence
Things You Need to Know: Con & Ty used to be boyfriends until Ty 'moved away' with his Mom and Grandparents for 2 years. He came back to be with Con. Con was dating Al. Ty was pissed. Ty and Con had a rather explosive and disastrously violent run-in in their friend's bathroom. For reasons best known to these two, they still talk and occassionally hang out in each other's presence without police involvement. Ty and Con are going on a roadtrip to MIT to check out the campus together.

* * *

"Don't worry..."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, come on... don't be that way, Con."

Con lifts his throbbing temple from his fingers and turns to face Ty with a scowl, the other boy's icy blue eyes flicking back and forth to him from the road and back again as he drives. "I honestly... don't know what you're talking about," he says, with a tight-lipped smirk as he refuses to talk about it. Still.

"Fuck..." Ty sighs, leaning back into the heated leather seats of his BMW, feeling his muscles tense and his fingers work the supple wheel to get rid of the stress. "Fine, be that way. Not like you make great conversation, anyway..." But he continues to watch him, gaze moving from the road to his old friend every so often as if to make sure he's still there, he's been so quiet. Unusually quiet. But Con just goes back to staring out the window as if he doesn't even notice and Ty is reduced to watching the shadowy reflection of worried green eyes in his tinted passenger window, framed by the familiar shock of bright orange hair - a colour he hadn't seen for years until Con had finally come back from the war, come back home... but nothing else was like it had been... nothing else had gone back to being the same.

SEE CONTINUATION IN NEXT POST - too big for LJ alltogether
Part 2: http://me-under-glass.livejournal.com/141845.html

Yes! Well... sort of a new boy. XD Sean has been around for a few months now... as a head. He is still just a head, but I was waiting on the perfect accessory to make him uniquely... well, Sean, and then pris gave it to me for my birthday. ^^; Thank you, pris!! :)

So, Sean the new boy is Alex's new roommate and friend. Technically, he made his first appearance back in February in a short bit of story I called "The Garbage-Bag Prince", but since only 2 people actually replied to the post, I really have no idea how many of you actually read it. XD So I'll do a short recap. ^^;

Sean is a five-foot-four wiry bundle of wit and charm. A graphic artist from Ohio, Sean has run away to Canada because of a bit of a crazy!stalker-ish ex-boyfriend, but he's not one to let something like that get him down. ;) He cheered up Alex when Alex was feeling really down about just being dumped (again and seemingly for the final time) by Cy, who he really wasn't doing well without. But Sean was funny and easy-going and they hit it off... Of course, Alex being insanely gorgeous, Sean did eventually try to get a little closer than friends, but that ended a little err... awkwardly. So now they're just friends. Er. Yes.

They get along well and Alex and Sean both needed a roommate (Sean because he's broke and living in a crap apartment in a new city where he doesn't know anyone, and Alex because Aidan got sick of his unreliable nature [because Alex would fail to come home a lot and this was a problem for the similarly fae boy who requires a body next to him for a good night's sleep] and left). So after a few weeks of hanging out, Alex invited Sean to move in with him as his roommate, and since Alex's place was much much nicer (and rent-controlled), Sean did.

Sean doesn't know Alex is fae. Sean thinks Alex has emotional problems and is scared to sleep alone. So far, this hasn't been much of an issue. Sean doesn't sleep around and Alex... well, if he does, then he sleeps with someone else when he does and Sean gets the bed to himself - which is nice, once in a while, for a person. But most nights yes, they sleep together. And no, they are not, nor have they ever had sex.

Was that brief enough? Basically, Sean is a total side character and I wasn't expecting him to show up in resin form but... he was too cute. Yes. That's all there really was to it. I saw this boy second-hand on DoA and I fell in love. I watched the thread for weeks wondering who would get to take him home, telling myself I was broke and couldn't afford it... but then he didn't sell. And he didn't sell. And he didn't sell. And his price dropped and dropped again and then he came with his wig, and he came with his eyes, and eventually I was a bit like 'Okay! Okay! Stop twisting my arm, Fate!! Ow! Ow!'

:)

So he came home. And he gets to share Mischa's body, same as Wynn. Em was happy about that, oh yes... (not). But at least both Sean and Em are boys, so that part of it isn't so odd. XD

Annnnnnnnnnnnd now, without any further ado, I give you all... Sean.

( Cut for the rest. 24 Pics. No talking. I talked too much already. #^^# )

And a few of Alex and Sean together. Buds. :3


( 'nother cut. Just a few of these. )

Ya, so I was out taking pics and my kitty got jealous. :3 I give you all kitty pictures!! 'Cuz she's cuteness.

She got to go out without a leash! :O This is unheard of~



( too cute - 8 pics )

That's all, hope you've enjoyed. :)

Okay, so it was my birthday on Wednesday, and pris asks me, 'What do I want for my birthday?', and I'm like... mushy-lovey pictures of Alex and Cy! *dork* :D

But pris is a nice person and ignores my dorkiness and says, 'Okay.' :)

So Alex got to hang out with Cy on my birthday and I got my mushy!lovey!cutie pictures and I was happy. :3

It should be noted, of course, that this did not happen. Okay? Cy and Alex are still not together. If anything, if these pictures need to fit in anywhere time-line-wise... this is like... a daydream, maybe. Or perhaps they are just pictures from a long time ago that got stuck in a drawer somewhere and found later...

They still make me happy. And they make Alex happy.

But, this did not happen last Wednesday.



( Cut for Dorkish!Cute. Lots of Dorkish!Cute. 28 seperate occurrences of Dorkish!Cuteness. )

And that was my birthday wish. :) Well, part of it. Was awesome. Good times.

Yay Mushiness! :3

>:)

So... couple months back now... I put a pre-order in for a certain somebody... and now he's here. A lot of people are really not happy that he is. A certain someone is not sure if he's happy or not. Another certain someone is dreaming of murder... when she can sleep, that is.

The new boy is staying in his box... under my bed... safe and sound from anyone who might er... have a problem with him. Problem is, he's taken to dragging the uncertain boy into said box with him... which, if he keeps doing it, is going to end up forcing trouble to come looking for him no matter where he's tucked away. Eventually.

Being tucked away also keeps him safe from UV rays. Because even though Ni has tan lines and I think she's cuter for them... the new boy doesn't just tan... he yellows. Badly. Like butter-cream yellow by all accounts... so... I'm trying to avoid that for as long as possible.

Yes, that's right, the new boy is French resin.

He had to be special.

Because no matter what else he may be... Ty is always special.


( Cut for the rest of the new boy's first shoot + arrival shots - 21 total )

So yay! For those unsure, Ty is a Limho Mono from Limhwa. He is about 2cm taller than an unoa boy but has a lean, lithe body that is to die for. OMG is he ever pretty. O___O He poses beautifully. Sturdier posing than a Volks, which tends to just fall in (or out of) place naturally (with an ease that is incredibly addictive to Volks collectors like me), but he has a lot of attitude and I absolutely canNOT get over how perfect this body is for the character. Ty. OMG what an ass Ty is. What an incredibly charming, beautiful, dangerous, sexy sexy ass... *__* And this boy is perfect. He has dimples!! On his butt-cheeks! XD Okay, was that tmi? But they are cute. Nuts, I didn't get pictures of them! >< Ah, well... I will later. >D

He doesn't have a face, yet. Obviously. :P I really want Lyn_r to do it (I think she'd be perfect for Ty), but she's not open right now and won't be taking commissions (she told me, she thinks) until late August, maybe. :( So... he's gonna wait.

But basically, YAY! :) I am happy. Maybe I am too happy. >> Why do I love him so much? Ty is a sociopath, or well... he acts like one. He is definitely dangerous and he does NOT feel emotions like regular people. This does not mean he doesn't feel emotions... and he certainly has a lot of reasons for being as screwed up as he is, but essentially Ty just wasn't 'built right'. He is manipulative, and loves being that way, and proving just how much smarter he is than other people; proving just how weak everyone else is and how strong he is by taking advantage of people and using them... Geez, he's awful! And I love him so much. ;____; He's really a lot more vulnerable and needy than he-- Okay, he's not gonna let me talk about that. In fact, he's insisting I strike out that whole last bit, or at least claim it is complete fabrication. Okay, so ignore that last bit. Vulnerable. Please... Ty is not that. No. That is a complete lie.

>>

:) Love him. I love him so much.

And I love Limhwa!! They are so sweet. They called him a 'gift' and I didn't pay customs!! :D And to top it off, they gift-wrapped him. Bow and everything! OMG it was so pretty! LookLook!!


How sweet is that? :3 So sweet.

( Cut for more Limhwa sweetness, just a few )

End of Doom Post #1. Stay tuned for more! :D

So... I just wanted to say Thank You to everybody who wished me a happy birthday this week. I have been so busy I honestly hadn't checked LJ, but then I was over at a friend's and she was browsing her f-list and I noticed that I had a few shout-outs from people, so... yes. Thank you! :3

In other news, I am still alive. Imagine that.

Also, I have become the new President of the Manitoba Doll Club. After two whole meetings of being a member no less. OMGWTF, how did that happen, that's what I'd like to know... BUT WHO CARES! Now that I am President, everyone should join! :D Yes!! First meeting of the year will be in September - so stay tuned! I shall advertise again when it gets closer. ;) It shall be massive loads of fun!! I shall not direct you to the current website because it is CRAP needs work, and I am almost done redoing it - though it will need to be reviewed by the rest of the council and discussed with the current webmaster... >> *is not looking forward to that conversation*

So umm... anyways~ What else is new? I have been busy like WOAH and haven't had time to do a whole bunch of things I really wanted to get to, lately. Like writing, and finishing websites, and reading over the rules of the doll club of which I have become president, calling a meeting for this month so that the new year of the doll club can be discussed, shipping off packages for people, applying to jobs, requesting my transcript from University so that I may attend an interview for a company I REALLY WANT TO WORK FOR on Friday. XD Aiya... SO MUCH TO DO!!

I was doing so well at the start of this week, too. T_T I almost finished the website in 2 days even! Just need to finish the 'Contacts' page... But then it was my birthday! :D And I was with pris all Wednesday, and my mates on Thursday and my family on Friday (3 seperate birthday celebrations YAY!). XD I'm so lucky~ And then I slept until 4pm today because OMG I WAS SO TIRED! So now my sleep is screwed up and it is once again 3 in the morning and what am I doing? I am typing is what I am doing... 'cuz this is productive yes...

There shall be pictures soon. >D Lots of pictures. Doll pictures and kitty pictures - all resized and uploaded to my PhotoBucket, but OMG I am tired and need to sleep NOW, so I will post them later... >>

Reminds me I also have half a photostory written with Meryl and Amy as a continuation to their last PS... Yes, I do. Go me! So many things to do. O_o

All of it will be done!

Eventually. >>

For now, I sleep. And thank everyone who thought of me on my birthday. :3 I honestly feel like I should apologize to everyone who did, too, because I will almost certainly forget about yours when it happens. ;__; Please don't hold it against me. I'm not good with dates. But I'm working on it? I will probably at least remember when it is and get you a gift... and wish you a happy belated birthday the next time I see you after the fact... that's... something, right?

I've never been so happy before that someone else (that I don't know) is (hopefully) getting a doll! XD

enigmadoll has had a WTB Pearl thread on DoA for weeks and I keep seeing it going OMG SOMEONE SELL HER A PEARL!! XD I love her faceups (enigmadoll = lilykoi)! And I love Pearl. ^^ I SO WANT TO SEE WHAT SHE DOES WITH ONE!! XD Personally I love Pearl's faceup and I don't think I could ever wipe mine even to send her off to an artist (even enigmadoll) just 'cuz I love it to death but... I am so excited to see what she does!!! O___O

AND NOW YAY!! Daniel Falls put up a feeler/sell post for his Pearl and it looks like she jumped on that bandwagon real fast. XD She's posted to his thread like 3 times (you have to with Daniel 'cuz the PM thing doesn't work so well there... >> for whatever *cough*excuse*cough* reason) and OMG I HOPE SHE GETS HER!!! OMG!!!

*dorkishly happy*

I think I may have to stalk her threads/LJ for a while... >>

OMG!!! *giddiness*

It's back to being chilly and not in the least bit like Spring - except that it keeps spitting rain at us and we're flooding like crazy of course. Go Team Winnipeg!! :D

Anyhoo. Despite the temperature... there is, at least, NO MORE SNOW!! :D YAY! And the light was also REALLY nice for pictures, bright but cloudy. :) So I took the opportunity today to do a little photoshoot. Just me an' Wynn by the swollen Red River, enjoying the NO SNOW. :3

Condensed version of this post (top 10 favourites only) is up, here on Den of Angels. Thanks. :)

Lookit! There it is behind her - the Red River. Flooded up and over the monkey trails (bike paths that follow the river - normally not covered with water! XD), drowning proud and stately trees and covering the banks with nutrient-rich silt that will make them grow even BIGGER once the water goes down. ^^ Fun times, Winnipeg.


( cut for the rest - 26 total - she's too cute!! )

But anhoos... so ya. I really am starting to like her on a boy body... it has such great tomboy lines! Aside from the lack of breasts (which yes, I would have to do something about...) and the man-parts (ditto), the actual line of the torso I really like! >< I'm starting to think I might just get her a boy body and mod it... >> That might be kinda cool... ^^

Thanks!

Aiya, Ani sure has fun dressing her sister... ^^; Truthfully, Keely couldn't care less what (if anything) she was wearing... but her sister makes sure she does (wear something) and usually has a lot of fun picking out what. :3 For such a slightly crazy girl, she certainly has a lot of elegance, always dainty and careful in her movements, and dressed up nice, she seems so much more cool and classy than crazy - that's probably a good thing? ^^; Heh.



( cut for the rest + some extras of the city )

And then we have a few nice shots of the city at night. Mostly this was just me experimenting with my camera and seeing what it could do, but... still, I like these. I like Winnipeg. :3

Sunset by my work.


( cut for the rest, just a few )

Yay!! I got pics of 3 of my darlings on the bus in the last week! :D Amy and Kist came with me to miffimifster's the other day (where I said a sad goodbye to her Irvin, who is up as a feeler and will likely be leaving the city ;_;) and I got pics of the girls on the bus and on the way over. :)

Yes! I am obsessed with dolly bus pictures, thank you. ;3 It is a little quirk o' mine. Keely also came to work with me this past week and I got pics of her, too (will be up in the next post ;3).

For now, Amy & Kist (with a couple of miffi's Irvin in here, too).

They are an adorable size together - like my dolly has a dolly!! XD


( cut for more, 22 in total )

( couple Irvin shots here )



( one of the city - look no snow!!! :D )

Thanks!

Yes! XD More Pearl an' Amy. Plus since like I said before, I got my new camera, I've been taking random shots all over so there are also a couple of Pru in her Sunday best and a couple of my Pixie kitty. :3

Nothing graphic - just two girls hanging out. :)

( CUTSIES for all - 14 total - with random preview pics out of cut )



( next cut )

Mah Pru Sweetheart. <3


( just 2 of Pru )

Pixie-Kitty! In a dark-ish kitchen no-less! :D Fantastic~


( just 2 of Pixie, too :) )

Thanks!

I didn't get pictures of too many dollies at this meet - just a few, but I will share. :) If I name any doll mold wrong or get the owner's name wrong, please let me know! >< I'm sorry~

List of molds inside the cut: Volks SWD Nono, Volks Tan Cecile Scarface, Bambicrony PingPing, Abio Angel Ling (LOTS of this boy ^^), Volks Pearl, Volks Amelia, Puki Strider.

And the other bit of good news? Amy got new eyes! Yay~ She can stop stealing Shy's. XD She now has a pair of default Elf Ducan eyes and they are such a brilliant blue, I am very happy. :) She also has eyelashes now! XD Yes! Go me~ They are blond and not easily seen, but they're there! ^^


( CUT for Meet Pictures - 17 total )

And that's it for general meet pictures - I'll post again with pics of Amy and Meryl that I took at the meet, too. :)

So we had a dollie meet yesterday and before I even got there, I started taking pictures. I haven't got pics of one of my babies on the bus in a while, so Yay! I got Meryl on the bus, today. :)

Interesting note~ I also got a NEW CAMERA!!! :D I am so happy~ It has a lot more manual control, image stabalization and adjusts to low light much better than the old one. :) I'm still getting the hang of it, but it's super duper. It's another Sony - a Sony Cybershot DSC H10 - and it is not an SLR, but it's definitely getting closer! It feels like an SLR training camera - like a bike with training wheels - not quite the full deal but it forces you to gain the skills for it. ;3 Next time I upgrade, I think it will be to an SLR, but for now, this lil' guy is more than enough for me. ^^;

Lookit me! I has depth of field!! Not too much, but some! XD It's an improvement~


( CUT FOR THE REST - 11 total )

So these two, as I believe I have mentioned, have been practically inseperable. I have no idea what's going on, but am going with the flow~ ^^;

Amy (Amelia) and Merolanna (Pearl)

Interesting, no? They look good together, too. :3


( 4 lovey-dovey extras )

And a little "Where are they now?" action - cuddled together in my armchair. :3


( excuse the low-light - I'm still learning with the indoor shoots ^^ - 8 of these )

( 4 random extras from the photostory )

but beginnings are also the end of something else, just as all endings are yet more beginnings. It is only a matter of where one part stops... and another begins.

For instance... Amy's long and tiring day, her 24-hour-long tale of hard-luck romance with a new band that just isn't working out in a new city that had been yet another attempt at a beginning for a new life... is finally coming to its own end. Walking back to her apartment at four in the afternoon after being up all night and finally crashing on the couch of her sleazy new lead guitarist only to be rudely awakened at two to the sound of a 14-year-old groupie doing things she doesn't need to hear in the other room with him... and she's tired. Sore. Irritable. A fallen branch takes the brunt of her anguish as she goes out of her way to stomp it in two for pure spite; but it only makes her sigh. Sigh and swear.

And all she really wants to do is trudge her weary way home and curl up in her own sheets, even if those sheets are only spread over a too-thin mattress on a dirty and stained carpet.

She's just glad this day is over.

Or so she thinks.


( but all endings truly are new beginnings )
