You guys, is it too soon for another Doper Photo Thread? I love photo threads. It’s so much fun to put names and faces together. (Yes, this is some of my only entertainment. Can you tell I don’t have much of a life? :D) Here’s me after a day of moving heavy objects.

Yay! I love photo threads too! Here’s my [latest weekly self-portrait](http://www.flickr.com/photos/polkaroo/3302199444/). I think I’m improving, bit by bit… but then again, I’m slightly biased about the subject matter. 🙂 (and just for the heck of it, here’s a bonus: my absolute favouritest self-portrait so far in the series is [this one](http://www.flickr.com/photos/polkaroo/3270212957/in/set-72157611981886599/)… I was trying to pose all pretty-like with one of the cats, but she had a slightly different idea) ---

Yay! Someone (other than me) likes it. Validation at last! 🙂 Lilies are indeed awesome. My Valentine’s flowers this year were a mix of pink lilies, pink gerberas, and peach hypericum berries. Sadly, they’ve pretty much done for at this point. ---

Dudette, you so did better than me for the Valentine’s flowers. So the day after Valentine’s Day there’s a knock at my door. It’s my friend. He has in his hand a small bouquet of slightly wilted roses and lilies. I’m like, what is this for? He’s like, “Well, nobody’s going to give you flowers so I got these for you. Discounted 75% after Valentine’s Day! At Seven-Eleven!” See, he is the total goddamn cheap Yankee but you gotta love him! That made my day. But fresh flowers the day OF Valentine’s Day are the best!! 🆒 ---

I just have the same ones from last time (which I guess are new if you haven’t seen them). I really need to put some new ones up.

It’s in great shape already, just needs a new exhaust system, tires, shocks, struts, water pump, maybe brakes… Yeah, that’s how we getcha! We play the cute card! (Thanks for that though, I feel all nasty and gross right now!) So dude, do you restore cars as a hobby? I always thought that would be cool. I’m actually trying to get my friend into that. He has a 1992 Celica convertible that he is currently restoring. I am trying to get him to buy a 1963 Porsche like he had in college to restore but he is resistant so far. He’s all like, I have enough with my job and the Celica. But I bet if I annoy him enough he’ll cave. I love gearheads! 😃 ---

I’ll let you in on a little secret. The trick to scoring nice flowers for V-Day is to buy your own. 🙂 The Boy was stuck working the whole weekend, so I decided that we’d celebrate anyways, even if it meant that I cooked dinner and tidied up and bought my own flowers thankyouverymuch. Which makes your friend super-awesome for getting you flowers, even if they were on sale. Cute haircut, **WomanofScorn**. I love your curls. ---

> [@Creaky](#): > > do you restore cars as a hobby? I always thought that would be cool. Yeah, I’ve loved cars since I was a kid, but I’m not the best mechanic around. I don’t restore them; I prefer to hot rod 'em. But if it’s a fairly unique car, I’ll limit myself to bolt-ons (such changes are easily reversed by a restorer) and keep the original parts. I did that with the LTD, because they only made about 3000 of the LX model. The guy that bought it was surprised with the parts that came with it; stuff like the original rims in addition to the 10-slots that were on it, a dash cluster, bumper rubbers, two spare complete taillight assemblies, original spark plug wires and looms…there’s even a spare computer for it. My buddy and his brother are into older cars like a '38 Plymouth and a '36 Buick, and I’ve helped with those. Those cars are rodded; both of them have modern front suspensions welded in along with disc brakes and late-model V8s and stuff. I have the old Buick straight-8 and Plymouth flathead from those cars, just because they’re neat to have laying around. I’ve decided to go with my cousin’s old Malibu and a couple 50’s cars ([my newest toy](http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn106/3aaat/Plymouth/)), so I’m giving my '91 Spirit R/T to my nephew and sold the LTD to a friend of my nephew’s mechanic friend. You have to find the right person to sell your car to, you know? ---

Did you ever get into racing? I could see you racing totally. My friend has a house in Sebring, Florida. I keep bugging him to go down there for the 12 hours of Sebring race which he has yet to do. He only goes down there off-season to do maintenance on the place. Man, it would be so boss to go down there for the race!
