There are, literally, no words, but I'm sure y'all can come up with a few nonetheless. *weg*

Make sure to check out image #56059344 and #56060276 up close and personally. They appear to be adding new images to the ones I'm talking about, so make sure you find the ones of Pickles with Prince Charles. 0__0

If they weren't at Getty, I'd bet my life's savings (assuming I had any to bet at the moment) that they were photoshopped. Instead, I'm speechless.

What is the woman on??

In other news, I have my first workers comp hearing Monday morning, so all prayers, good wishes, etc, are coveted and deeply appreciated.

sockkpuppett? I think your luck with computers has come to live with me. Mine went tits up again Sunday morning when the clocks changed over. I hate it when that happens. I don't suppose you still have that copy of photoshop? =D

I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.

I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.

I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.

I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.

I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.

We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.

If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.

I am making a difference. Hate will not win.

'These people were going to die anyway'

The doctor said: "I didn't know if I was doing the right thing. But I did not have time. I had to make snap decisions, under the most appalling circumstances, and I did what I thought was right.

"I injected morphine into those patients who were dying and in agony. If the first dose was not enough, I gave a double dose. And at night I prayed to God to have mercy on my soul."

From The Daily Mail.

Dear God.

I don't see how they could've done anything else, given the circumstances, but I hope they don't end up paying for their decisions. I'm glad The Mail on Sunday is a UK paper. They've said they'll keep identities secret, and since they're abroad, they should be successful in doing so. I can't imagine they'll give two shits how much anyone in the US screeches on, they'll keep their sources safe.

But of course the biggest indictment these doctors and nurses will face will be from themselves.

May God have mercy on their souls indeed.

I was thinking about my lost LJ header, and it seems to me that a copy of it has got to be sitting somewhere in my computer memory files, if only I knew how to get it out of there. And I've looked and looked and I couldn't find anything -- but that doesn't mean it isn't in there somewhere.

God knows, if it were child pr0n, teh FBI could find it in a New York minute.

So I'm asking everyone who's smarter than me, which, ahh, in this case, is pretty much my entire flist, for help. I'm using what I believe to be the latest edition of Firefox as my browser with XP, and I've made sure not to let Norton One Button Cleanup run since I've lost stuff.

So, erm, help? Where would I go to look? And bear in mind, me st00p1d when it comes to following directions of this kind. So detailed details of exactly where to go to find the breadcrumbs would be greatly appreciated as well. =)

Thanks, y'all!

So, an accident happened today -- and my entire website went "poof".

Normally this wouldn't be too bad, but I hadn't gotten around to backing up my files since my hard drive crash -- so poof really means poof. Robin is combing the wayback machine to see what she can find, although it probably won't be tons because all the pages had "no index no follow" code. In addition, the folder I had my icons in was not only no index'd, it wasn't linked anywhere, so there's no hope of finding the things, mostly icons, that were in there.

It's okay, really, I can't even complain when there are thousands and thousands of people who've lost all of their real life possesions, and yeah, it's okay. I'm not mad or even really upset, but if there is a way to get some of my icons back, I'd be pretty happy about that.

I think Robin will be able to reconstruct the gorgeous site taselby made for me a couple of years back, so I'm not freaking about that. Yet.

So. If you have anything I made on your machine - couldja please hook me up? I'm gonna go trolling around my flist icons to see if I can find anything that way, but I'd appreciate any help. If you've got anything, if you could email it to kamilaa at gmail dot com, I'd be ever so grateful. I've already found copies of my Darla mood theme by following the comments from when I offered it, and I'm so relieved about that. All that remains there is to re-upload them once Robin has everything ready.

Thanks, y'all.

PS: Anyone have any suggestions for my new LJ layout? I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to find the pics of Sarah I'd used in the old one, and y'all are large with the creative -- so, ideas, please?

Gakked from half the flist, the what kind of cat are you quiz.

Behind a cut because it's hella big.

Look what mmmchelle made me! Isn't it beautiful?

*licks wet!Adrian*

Thanks, hon, it's absolutely lovely.

I've always used the preset manager to load my brushes, but yesterday I was clicking around in Photoshop and found a nifty trick. Well, I think it's nifty anyway. :)

So I'm painfully, embarrassingly late with this, but I finally have my assignment for ats_endofdays finished. I had "Darla", a absolutely gorgeous episode, full of amazing visuals. I'd intended to icon it, but instead I decided to make a mood theme.

Most of you have probably already seen this. But if you haven't, from The Washington Post. The soldiers who've died in Iraq. Who they were, where they came from, how and when they died.
