A Few Pics Short of a Load by PhoenixRose

Hey guys. Just caught up on the last thread and am very jealose of all those pretty golden tickets!
Thinking of getting one of my very own but am a bit afraid that I'd get lost in all the crowds in a foreign country where I've never met anyone (at least in the flesh). Could someone promise to hold my hand if I get scared?! Even though I am quite obviously crazy as they come (as the following drunk holiday snap proves!)

Emma, you have to ask? You'll be trying to get away from all the BC's trying to make sure you're ok, crawling in bed with you, glomping you, calling you, knockin gon your door to go pull pranks, etc. I saw some of the pics from last year, you won't be able to get a moment alone!

I'd like that! (especially the crawling into bed with me bits!) I went to a Con in London last year and it was great and everyone was nice but I still felt a bit lonely at times.

Okay, I'm convinced. Have booked the leave, looking at tickets now.

second submission for "freedom" (and following the lead... hee!)

Well I admit this isn't new (but I don't think I've posted it before) and fully admitting that I am not even trying to compete in the hotness stakes (coz, again, WOW!), here is my submission for freedom. The last time I felt truley free, a couple of years ago in Madagasca.

I can't believe I've missed an entire thread! And we have a new catagory as well, I see. So, here's my entry for freedom:

And for crazy, I'm doing this a little differently, since I can't think of any animals that are naturally crazy, and I didn't want to do inmates in asylums and werewolves, so...

And for the next theme, when we're all ready, could we do the ancient Egyptians, please? Or, if that doesn't suit popular taste, how about life? Any takers?

How about this- NO WAY!!! I can do good grapics (at least, I think they look good), but me... that's another story entirely. I may become completely crazy in my next life and post pics of me then, but never in this life.

And, for a random thing, that pretty well fits my mood at the moment....

Anything about the Egyptians, like pyramids, hieroglyphics, stuff like that. As for life, yeah that can include practically everything, that's the point! Or, we could do inanimate objects if you prefer. Those were just the top things on the top of my head (which tells you that there's nothing in it lol).

Basically, what I'm trying to say is feel free to ignore me when I don't make sense

See... now... most of us here, I'm guessing, don't live near the Pyramids or have hieroglyphs carved into our walls. (I do, but I'm just one person and really not all that interesting.) So, it's going to be difficult to have that as a "theme."

I was hoping people would try to stick to things that are concepts or perceptions or the like, instead of hard-and-fast objects. The idea behind this "game" is to show us all what you see or think of when someone suggests an idea or vision or concept; to look around your environment and capture an image of what you see that fits the concept from your perspective. Not just to show us an image of what someone else showed you. If that makes sense?

But since you asked for Ancient Egypt, I do have a few artifacts (I worked as an intern for a summer at the Milwaukee Public Museum, so these things are genuinely ancient Egyptian). The only one I can find at the moment (heh) is this Ib. Each night, an ancient Egyptian's soul returns to this amulet...

...and together we watch reruns of ST:TNG and Dexter. XD

Makes sense to me.
I still vote 'comfy' but am of course open to suggestions.

I, being not as awesome as you, have no Egyptian artifacts. I do, however, have an ankh necklace that I love very much.

The "ancient egyptian" theme was just something I made up, and it seems the general concensus (sp?) leans more toward comfy, so just post anything you like that may or may not fit either of those two catagories
