So. Saturday was Lucy Lawless 40th birthday. Man doesn't she look good
for it?? Today is my birthday and there's no way on God's green earth I'm
gonna cop to which one it is!! I wish I looked half as good as Lucy (but not
so girly *g*).
Oh yeah - if like me you live in the UK remember - British Summer Time
started at 2am today - hope you remembered to put your clocks forward an
hour.

- Blinking
Cursors by Rhuarc Black on The Athenaeum [alt, original]
There are warnings for the majority of these snapshots, since they at times
deal or have a theme that may disturb some (I find at least one of them
quite disturbing myself). I thought to give them all in the beginning. A Few
Words deals with bereavement and loss. Ten Years On deals with drug-abuse.
In your Arms deals with physical abuse. Heroes and Twenty Minutes include
graphic depictions of violence. Five o'clock Shadow has a transgender theme.
Weakness has an S/M-D/s theme (no sex, though). I have to point out here
that I don't agree with, consider funny or in any way condone either
drug-abuse or physical abuse against women (or men for that matter) and I
want to apologise in advance for anything that may be disturbing.
