Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Michael Palin....

[neverwhere]

I just watched the first episode of Michael Palin's new travel series Sahara. I can't believe he was willing to spend nearly a year in the middle of the most inhospitable place on earth for fun. He's insane! But still sooooooooooooo cute. *drool* *lol*

As a special treat, I hearby allow all my friends to see a very silly picture of me with His Royal Paliness taken 6 years ago. Wow, has it really been that long? And yet I look exactly the same. *G*






What is it with me posting all these pictures lately? Not so long ago I would never let anyone see my picture, not even my closet friends, I was so worried and ashamed of what they might think of me. But now I can't stop! I even took some this afternoon of me wearing glasses because I felt like it. The strange thing is, while I don't mind showing off my webcam photos, I absolutely loathe having pictures taken of me with a proper camera. I always end of looking terrible, I really don't know why webcam pics are better. I suppose because they're so blurry, they fade out all my 'unpleasant' features. *grins*


Here's a rather interesting little quizlet, courtesy of bnh :)

Number of people on my lj friends list: Over a hundred (!)

Hey, we just watched Sahara too.

Man, I want to go back to Morocco now. We went on holiday there when I was little, and it was fantastic - easily the most vividly-remembered holiday of my childhood. Tangiers is really cool once you get out of the tourist region, incidentally - lots of little shops and cafes (for some reason, I remember a couple of old guys teaching me to play ludo in one of these cafes).

My parents go back to North Africa every year on holidays, though mostly to Algeria these days - it's a little more wheelchair-friendly than Morocco. They went on a little trip to the outskirts of the Sahara last time, and said it was impressively flat and desolate.

Maybe next time they go I'll sneak into their luggage.

Also, more photos! more nevvie pics! yay!

Never never never hide yourself ... another great photo. It's not the camera, it is the person taking the picture, even the most gorgeous people have awkward sides and preferable lighting.

EEhheee! Michael Palin! The cuteness! ::glomps:: ^___^ ::feels much better::

I hate piccies of me, too. Photos always turn out really bad. :P I wonder if webcam would help ME, too...hm.. ^_^

Man, I'm gonna get my "me and Ian McKellen" pictures back soon, and I don't have a scanner! The torture! ^~ Good to see you use all your computer devices so frequently, as I am jealous. ^_^

(You *do* look like an elf! You should get some lil' pointy ears to wear around!)

Poe's best album is Haunted. Grab "I'm not a virgin anymore" >D

And you look FINE. Although I have no clue who Michael Palin is^^

[orangelover.livejournal.com]

And so does orangelover. Hell, you ALL want me. *lol* ;-)

Can you blame me? ;)

Can someone recommend a good song or two for me to download? :)

All of Haunted. It's particularly creepy because there are soundbites of her dead father throughout.

I ADORE Michael Palin!! Next to Eric Idle, he's my favourite Python!!
You are adorable in all your pix, my darling....I think you are beautiful. =)
I'm dying for a webcam so I can post naked pix of myself on the net--I am SO kidding!!
I'd actually be able to control how I look in them and soften my not so flattering angles...

Poe's Hey, Pretty is a great tune; I love the remix version of it and I'm actually taking
the suggestions and downloading all of Haunted right now!

Hi. *looks around* You already have quite an interesting crew of friends, it seems. Are all of them interested in folklore too? ;-D

[snowelf.livejournal.com]

Cool picture, you do look like a wee elf, I think.

Speling probblems

You *do* look like an elf. Funny..! It really looks like you've got pointed ears. Speaking of pointed ears, I never thought that the Tolkien elves had pointed ears, but I can accept it since many other elves ( for example Elfquest ) have them. But Hobbits..? Whose idea was it to give the Hobbits pointed ears. One would think they're more closely related to elves than to humans, but they aren't, are they? ( Been a while since I read any Tolkien books. )

Oh, and my name is spelled "lady_aquila"; just one "l". Funny, I read in some "The Bible for children" book that there was a man in the Bible called Aquila! A man! *mutters* Everybody knows "aquila" is a feminine word. But so is Caligula ( I think it means "little soldier's boot )..? Or..?

aaaaaaaaawwww!!!!

*huggles elf-nevvie* That pic's soooooooo adorable!!!! *snuggles*

[eyre-lasgalen.livejournal.com]

Oh, Nev, I'm so sorry that I haven't been around for a few days. I haven't even turned on my computer since Thursday, I've been so busy pretending that if I study enough, I won't totally bomb my biochemistry exam.........

Anyhoo, I'm sorry that you were feeling so down. All I'll say about it is that if soooooo many people replied to your post, then that shows that they care, no matter what you look like. Also, I got back my piccies from Bath, and I have to say that there is an AWESOME pic of you on the tour bus. I'll scan this week.

What else......I hope you remember that a cheque is coming to you from NatWest bank. Don't let it get lost in the pile of mail by your front door!

Last, a neural monist is i person who believes that every aspect of human behaviour, emotion, intelligence, etc is the result of the brain. There is nothing else. There is no "mind" there is only the brain. It's an interesting, if slightly wonky, theory.........

Cheers!

We all want you, lovey. =) Whee, I remember that picture of Michael Palin! *poing*

intrigued...

[lady-idril.livejournal.com]

Would it be fairly safe to assume you have read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere? I absolutely adore that book! *smiles*

You've been too quiet.

I have been asked to afflict you with mass comments until you repent of your slothfulness.
