[ we're taking flight into our own hands. ]

I am apologizing already, because this is the most excessive photopost that will ever be made, & that is just barely hyperbolic. The story is this: Kenny, Jeff, Robert, & I spent the entirety of yesterday playing in The Costume Shoppe, where we tried on ridiculous wigs & masks & fancy dresses & took a lot of pictures of the ensuing madness. I can ( Read more... )

That looks like so much fun! I'm glad you're having fun!

Oh man, Ashley, I wish you could come here & check this shope out! We would have so much fun; it's the kind of thing you'd love. I thought of you while we were in there, & tried sending you a psychic message to tell you so. Did you get it?

I can't wait to catch up with you & find out what's up with the Saga of Adam from England. Soon, okay? I mean that! I love you & miss you & you know this already.

I'm glad to be the first to see these. Oh, they're brilliant. I love you.

But still, I'm leaving you for Kenny. Rawr to him!

hey_valentine February 4 2006, 22:02:20 UTC

Technically, you were the first, as of last night. We'll count that! Oh, I love you.

& yeah, I figured I'd lose you as soon as you saw these pictures. I understand - Kenny has far better facial expressions than I do, & there are more of them, too. Soon, his rich, estranged aunt will die & he'll actually be moving to London to live with you, instead of just dreaming about it, & I'll just be visiting. How unsurprising.

I really need to become more comfortable in front of the camera, so that it looks like I am there next time. Gawd, Domination Kenny and Jeff, so wonderful. Of course your frontier wedding portrait is so great also. I can't wait for the next time we "go to town." Lurv and butterflies.

P.S. OH SHIT, Julie Loyd!!!!!!!

P.P.S. OH SHIT, Breast Augmentation Sister

Obviously, you are not that camera-shy if you allowed me to photograph you as Pippi's raggedy-ass showgirl sister.

I wish I could be all hot & dominating like Kenny & Jeff. My new hero is The Femme, from The Leather Daddy and the Femme, you know. I suppose that holding a gun in my wedding portrait is pretty damn bold, though. "So badass", as Devin would say, just like Mary Shelley.

I can't believe she played "The Birthday Song" & "Make of Me". Tonight was SO my night. Thanks so much for taking me & being all lesbionic; I love you so bad. Now I'm off to read more about Breast Augmentation Sister! LURV!

Wow. That was...amazing.

The guy taking Robert's money in this picture has definitely touched my back a time or two...He's pretty hot.

Oh, I know - the disgruntled toll guy who obviously hates his life is a total babe. I wish he'd touch my back, or anywhere else. I wouldn't say no, anyway.

I can too really cross just one eye; that photograph is misleading. I'll show you at dinner, & then you'll see just how crazy a crazyface can get.

Of course, I kept the first wig on. It's kind of like in that kids' book Caps For Sale, where the dude just keeps stacking hats up on his head. Did you ever read that shit? I don't remember the point of the book, but man, did my kindergarten teacher love it. Anyway, that was my inspiration for that picture, clearly, & I'm flattered that you took notice.

I hope the poetry finals were awesome; I can't wait to hear about them!

The toll booth guy contra dances with me. He's moderately frightening and a horrible dancer. But he smiles when he contra dances, so we know he at least gets some enjoyment out of life...even if it is touching girls' unwilling backs.

We should take a picture with some crazyface action. We can show off our Mad Skillz to the camera.

And YES. Caps for Sale...Whoa. Yeah. Sorry.

The poetry finals were amazing. I'm sure you'll hear all about it over the course of the next year. I'm sure you enjoyed yourself quite a lot at Julie Lloyd. How were the Divine MagGees? Or whatever the fuck.

hey_valentine February 5 2006, 19:48:19 UTC

Well, I'm glad that dancing gives him a break from the monotony of his day job.

We must take this crazyface² photo, stat. & then you can keep it on your camera for ages like the creep that you are.

Julie was perfect & the divineMAGgees were so fucking cute that I can barely stand it. Big crush on the fiddler chick, let me tell you. People talked through the whole show, though; they were like fucking groundlings or something. One singer was like, "This song is about our friend, he's been in a coma for six months," & people were laughing hysterically through the story. I wanted to kick some ass, but I was too sleepy & lulled by the music, so I let it go. Lucky for those rowdy bitches.

as always, these are amazing. and heck if the beauty & the beast picture didn't remind me of playing with your beast barbie when i was three, while being madly jealous of your canopy bed. i really freaked for anything that had the least bit to do with princesses, back then.

hey_valentine February 5 2006, 19:53:09 UTC

Um, except my Beauty & the Beast dolls never looked so effin' wrecked as Kenny & I look in that photograph. I miss sitting Indian-style on the floor of my room & playing Barbies with you, though!

I never had a real canopy bed, although I now sort of do, thanks to PVC piping & the handiwork of my friends. I will show you pictures, sometime, so you can marvel at my princess bed & be extra-jealous.

Which is to say that we should talk soon. Gosh, I miss you. Hope everything is going so, so well your way!
