I was here

impyI bit my tongue at work and it's still bothering me. I'll stop whining while I'm behind. On that, at least.
Paid the delinquent part of my cable bill so they won't come for me in my sleep, and to reward myself for being oh so grown up, I spent the rest of the money I could have spent on the remaining balance on additions for the mini Pullip army. Yes, because that makes sense. However, since I was planning on splitting the cable bill payment anyway, this just provides me with two grumpy faces to cheer me up. See? It all evens out in my head. Plus I'm hoping that if I buy them, I'll stop eyeing Alte, whom I suspect I like for all the wrong reasons. [Are there 'right' reasons to like a doll?]
^Alte, for those who haven't paid much attention or don't really give a damn, but like visual aids in their disinterest.
I like the eyebrows, which seems to put me squarely in the minority. Given JP's history of caving to what seems to be popular opinion somewhere, I cannot count on them keeping them. Ditto the odd lips [though it took three different people pointing them out for me to notice. D'oh.] and the fluffy curls. You take those away and all her spark, for me anyway, disappears. On the other hand, with the brunettes, they seem to have this wall built up around them. The wall of denial. "What do you mean we already made this doll a thousand times before? Feh! Totally different. See?"
There'd be more, only dimmed lights and candle light may be flattering in person, but are hell on pictures. Luckily they had two semi-professionals [for all I know they are pros, but this is neither here nor there] so hopefully that worked out better than the handful of one time use cameras littered on the tables. Anyway, for the most part, total crap. However, it seemed silly to include pictures of the cake without at least trying to share something from the actual ceremony. And no, I'm not up to scanning and editing the stuff from the disposable camera, and they suck more than these. Seriously.
Before the people descended and after the rest of the group left, this is what the hall/room looked like. Hey, I had two hours or so to kill, so I took a couple of pictures. It took forever and numerous people to get the place looking not so empty.
This table is reserved, bitches.
About the only time I had time to take pictures was during the dances, and this didn't work so well. See lighting, add to it people moving about, and a thousand other people also taking pictures. She'll kill me for sharing this, or any of these, really, but eh. She's on her honeymoon now, so I'm safe for another few days.
Ari dancing with her father. No, I don't remember any of the songs they danced to, although for a couple of hours I could remember the one Derrick and his mother danced to... However, time has robbed me of the memory, and there's no photograph to go with his dance, as I felt funny taking pictures when they were dancing right infront of me. I know, the one time I had a decent shot and I didn't take it. Fool!
There's no reasoning, folks. I'm just odd.
This is the cake, obviously. It was pretty tasty, although that might have much to do with it being about the only thing I ate that night, aside from some cheese squares many, many hours later.
The front porch, where I spent the last hour or so of the night while declining to help in the cleanup. Yay me. :p
See the little trail that leads to the beach? I wish I'd had time to visit said beach, only the only time I had was when Cass decided to stalk off to the water. I was in heels and had sent my sneakers home with the parentals [fool!] and wasn't about to walk barefoot on sand I couldn't see. And heels, love, do not take sand well. They do take on sand though...
A couple of crappy pictures of miss Chill. They'll have to do until this weekend.
Washed out, but still cute. Such is the power of Chill.
I love her. If you fuss with her bangs one way, she looks sweet. If you fuss a little more, she looks evil. Yes, that's a selling point for me.
My hands are frozen and I need a shower. I was all set to shower you lot with love and affection only LJ? Not loading. Whore.
