Oooh. I just got a few pics back from Sunday’s NASD stuff… [Me & my drum](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v654/MachTurtle/MeinRegalia-ForWeb.jpg) I usually don’t say much about my work but I’m darn proud of that regalia. It took me a month’s worth of hard work to finish AND nothing fell off of it when I danced! ---

Silly me; I forgot to make with the traditional compliments and flirting. I shall proceed forthwith. **LunaV** , you’re a cutie. **malkavia** …damn. That’s pretty much it. Just…damn. (Are you actually a Malkavian? I hope so. The crazy ones are so much more fun.) **Miss Purl McKnittington** , you already know I think you’re beautiful. **AFG** , pretty as always. I’m sure I missed more than a few, but hey, it’s my first read through the whole thread…I’m sure I’ll be back to give all our Doper ladies the, erm, attention they deserve. 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Clockwork And Candy] Your nose piercing is all kinds of awesome. [/QUOTE] Oh, thanks! And thank you too, **JCorre**! I like it because it flips up easily so I can hide it for job interviews and whatnot. Plus, if I decide to take it out, no visible scar. And also, thanks, **Tuckerfan**. I don’t quite know what to say, but that was a really nice compliment. I’m one of those people who, when complimented on their dress, say: “Oh, it was a dollar.” So I feel I have to let the board know that the picture is dishonest because I have horribly crooked teeth. 🙂 I don’t have a pic of them, because as soon as someone whips out a camera, I close my mouth. There, that’s a load off my chest! Haha. And yes, **Vlad/Igor** , they’re that blue in person. They’re bluest in bright light, so the flash makes them look blue, as does sunlight. Ordinarily when I’m outside, they’re hidden behind glasses, though. But thanks. 😃 There were a few pictures I wanted to comment on, but now I’ve forgotten who they were. I’ll have to look again and come back later. I just wanted to reply before I came across as rude. 😛 Now to go watch horrible girly movies! Yay! ---

[QUOTE=Roland Orzabal] **Miss Purl McKnittington** , you already know I think you’re beautiful. [/QUOTE] The gorgeous Mr. **Roland Orzabal** thinks I’m beautiful? Well, smooches to you, darling, smooches. Even if you occasionally let yourself get scruffy. You are so on my Christmas card list. And I must say that I’m terribly impressed by **bouv** ’s 'stache. That is some impressive facial landscaping. Also, kudos to you on your clean nostrils, which I discovered when I made the mistake of enlarging the “‘stashin’ action” shot. > [@Eve](#): > > This is a very silly photo of me which I am going to replace soon. As soon as I can figure out how. But you must admit, I am the Very Model of a Modern Genteel Dowager! **Eve** , you are just endlessly sophisticated and classy. I strive to look that put-together, but usually fall somewhere on the spectrum between “caught in a rainstorm” and “hit by a car.” You are so very elegant. ---

**LunaV** , **DiosaBellissima** , \*\*Indygrrl \*\*, and **The Sausage Creature** are all hot enough to boil Lake Erie. So much for my “Hot chicks aren’t usually smart” theory. I’ve never had any sexy posters, but now I can say that I’ve talked to a few. I knew I paid to be here for a reason. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=kawaiitentaclebeast] I think there is some element of self selection going on in this thread. [/QUOTE] Ha ha, no way, **kawaiitentaclebeast**! I’m the ugly duckling in the family, and the swan stage hasn’t exactly arrived yet. I’m not going to break any mirrors or anything, but my siblings are way prettier than I am. True story from childhood: My mom always handed out school pictures of my brothers and me, and the relatives always had all three of us out . . . for a while. Then my face would get covered up by something on the fridge/bulletin board/whatever and my brothers’ pictures would stay out. It was just last week that I realized there are school pics of my brothers displayed from the age of ten on, but there are only two of me, and one of those is a family portrait, so it’s not like I can’t be in it. Hey, wow, that’s actually really sad. I think I just depressed myself a little. Look! A [squirrel cozy](http://youknitwhat.blogspot.com/2006/06/little-friday-fun.html)! Ah, that makes things better. ---
