There's a 1024x768 version of this picture. I've only made this to shove onto the work PC when I get bored, but thought someone else might appreciate it enough to want it as a background.
Yesterday, I commented I'd upload a pic or two of things I bought in a fit of gluttony. I'll LJ-cut these.
The maroon Converse trainers, and the rest of me now the hair's grown back a bit, back to a comfortable level.
I felt at £30 I was paying too much for those trainers but that's apparently very cheap. You also get to see me in a neutral-coloured top, something that doesn't happen very often.
Lastly, you can see the room that's been well loved, including a curtain that's fallen down, a shoebox on the bed, crisps on the bed, sweets on the windowsill, and possibly Wally.
The Cyberdog t-shirt I just bought. It's too cold to wear it without layers on top of it for quite a while.
Bonus picture! See my friend Trudi ogling "Gordon" up good.
A slightly unusual situation happened at work between a very lippy guy and Asti. He was trying to harass me for a little more money for what he wanted to sell me, being lippy and demanding when he was in no position to do so - almost as if he was trying to induce fear to give him more money. I was enjoying being steadfast and seeing him getting more and more agitated. Asti, hearing this guy's lack of respect and getting disgusted by the second by his presence, told him to stop being so rude (and I'm surprised her tongue wasn't sharper) which caused him to spew mild abuse at her, stating he could "box her up" or cause some form of origami-based pain unto her. Asti simply stood up to him and at that point he took the money and ran, muttering comments from the back of the shop, where the yellow streak down his back wasn't visible.
Personally, I just want rid of people like that when they come in. I don't pander to them but I try to get rid of them as soon as I can, one way or the other. Still, with the entertaining comments Asti made he won't come back and we won't miss him.
Uuurrr, that guy. How rude is that though, to threaten to beat up a lady? (well, 'lady' ;) How tough of him. I just got the impression he was one of the sort of guys with a chip on his shoulder, who wasn't used to anyone talking back to him like that. People like him need taking down a peg or two. ;)
Oh, I felt like such a poser! Actually, I said to Jamie to take a pic of the shoes because we wanted to show off the different colours we ended up getting. She then took the picture of me. Pfft.
And he was an idiot. You could see he expected people to bend over for him as soon as he began to debate about what it said in the book.
Hah, I was gonna say poser! ;P Were you going for the natural look?
Yes exactly; you never know, maybe he'll get run over by a bus!
I was going for a pic of the shoes and it looked cheesy from it. But at least the shoe is shown accurately.
Yes it is...along with the rest. ;D
I want Gordon to remain a stable part of the shop but I know the co-worker Bill will have tried to hide the beauty of him.
Also, your feet are massive! (At least, they seem to be). What size are they?
The feet are size ten. I don't think that's a large size. Tony (nickname "Big T" to his friends - though it's not a name I use) has size sixteen feet.
..He doesn't read this, does he?
(He's actually been really depressed due to Ol' Dirty Bastard dying so I doubt he'd do more than frown at you these days.)
I wish I have a stand like that at work.
