I Am a Thing of Beauty

[shanmonster]

I think the steroids are beginning to work their magic. My chest, which has been tight and hot (great for other organs, perhaps) for about two weeks, finally loosened this morning, and I spent my waking up moments having juicy coughs and jettisoning hot lung butter. Now the top of my lungs feels more relaxed, but the bottoms are still a bit seized up. Here's hoping the steroids will continue their good work so that I'll be ok for my dance performance next weekend!

Everyday minimal movement is tricky with malfunctioning lungs, let alone the more strenuous stuff I'm accustomed to. I've been really tired and lacking in energy for quite some time, and the thoughts of my four-class dance day tomorrow leave me in a state of trepidation. I'll just pace myself. I'm good at that.

I have new pictures up! Want to see?

Here are my lovely, lovely pole dance arms




And here's my stint as a zombie beauty queen. Sometimes a lacklustre look really works for me. Go go zombie asthma!













A video is forthcoming....

Edit: If those photos aren't working for you because you need a Facebook account, try this link. You can either wade through a variety of pictures of me (some are NSFW) until you get to the end, or just skip to the second page of 'em.

And here are pictures from my 14th 23rd birthday party. Yummy!

The zombie pics look so real :o) and scary, and the contrast with the other ones in the gallery is striking. BTW your pics are beautiful (above all the NSFW ones, I like the style).

It's a kitty litter cake! Heh....

I'm not sure all that went into it, but it was very peanutty because f00dave used peanut oil. It was too sweet for my liking, but entertaining as a centre piece, nonetheless.

Now I'm all nostalgic for homecoming.

I didn't have a homecoming. Or a prom.

Maybe I should have a homecoming party, zombie-style, just for shits and giggles.

Did your high school do one of those all-night parties for graduating seniors?

I spent the entire time praying for a zombie holocaust.

My high school didn't have homecoming. I'm not sure, but I think that's more of an American phenomenon than a Canadian one. There was a prom, but I was not allowed to go. Jehovah's Witnesses aren't supposed to go to such things. I had a dress (a hideous one, and pink, now that I think about it), and I knew who I'd have asked, too...

I did go to homecoming, but only as a stand-in for the out-of-country male half of a couple that I was friends with. As I recall, I was wearing the most unintentionally hideous tie this side of fiction. It was some sort of Lovecraft paisley.

On the upside, I skipped prom and ended up going out to dinner with a dozen women who were similarly inclined.
