What else did I do? Nothing, really. Actually nothing. I didn't get dressed or take a bath, and I NEVER go a whole day without taking a bath. Typically I bathe when I get up and before I go to bed, and on days when I've exercised or it's humid or I'm sick or I have to go out, I often bathe three times. But today I did not bathe when I got up, and man did I feel grimy all day. Although I have to say, it makes the clean feeling now especially delicious.
Because I'm an evil bitch, I sent the following picture to a male friend with a heading saying, "Look, no panties!"
I'm hoping that they'll allow it as my main pic for awhile - I'm sick of face pics - but apparently there's something wrong with the format, although it should be OK. Oh well, A F F's problem, not mine. If they don't, they don't.
The camera on the iPhone is a lot better than the one on my Tocco Lite. I don't know how much better - I haven't looked at the specs yet - but the pictures are a lot less fuzzy. It's not perfect, of course, and I still want to get a good Canon or Nikon, or maybe a Rollei, for taking arty pics of nature and people. (Ideally I'd have one of those fancy ones with the changeable lenses, but that'll cost me anywhere north of £500, so for now I'd be satisfied with a small one that takes nice pictures.) But for pictures of ME, it's just fine, since I have those Monet-type looks - from far away I look alright, and in person the glow that seems to glamor people prevents anyone from focusing too sharply on me, but up close in photos I'm a horrible mess, with terrible scars and bites and ridiculous amounts of body hair (stupid PCOS) and having those scars and hairs and pores magnified is not something that I like the idea of. My skin is awful (not the face so much, but everywhere else) and my teeth are horrible and I never learned how to put make-up on properly, so it's just sort of smeared on, and I'm happier when photos are just a teensy bit fuzzy.
(Please don't misunderstand, I'm not terribly down on my looks or anything, and I know that the whole package looks just fine most of the time - it's just that I look better when taken as a whole.)
So yeah, the camera pleases me. In general, I'm very happy with the iPhone, although I'm thoroughly unimpressed with the fact that Apple does not support Flash, meaning that the YouTube app is absolutely appalling. Not only are there hardly any "real" videos on there (most of them are just pictures of the CD, with lyrics) and what's there is most certainly not HD (to someone used to VEVO, this displeases me) but on a lot of the videos the sound quality is horrible. So I guess I won't be checking out the toob using the phone. Oh well, I expect I can do that on the computer.
I still haven't managed to use the phone as an OpenZone point, though, because they keep asking me for a password and a security key, which was not provided to me. So I'll have to go bug Peter at the Carphone Warehouse about that soon. I don't want to cancel my old internet contract until I know for sure that I can use the phone as a modem. Meaning that I'm on limited data until I get it sorted - but I never use up 5 GB in less than 2 weeks, and if I procrastinate on it for 2 weeks then I bloody well deserve to be cut off.
I still haven't put the boobie pic up, as you may have noticed. Recently I've been peeved about the fighting on here, and sad about something that I'm not going to discuss with you, and when I'm either one of those things - let alone both - I get recalcitrant and drag my heels on things. Several of you donated, and I love you for it. And I said that I'd post the pic, so I will do. I just don't always manage to keep to the timescales that I set myself (as you can see by the lack of the recent Thursday Pointless Polls). [Unfortunately not on this site - I don't think there's a way to post a poll, and if there is I haven't found it yet.]
It'll have to be a fuzzy pic from the old phone, though - I have some really nasty mozzie bites on my boobs right now, and the ones that have healed have scarred badly.
Apologies to anyone who I bombarded with emails last night. I was in a bit of a manic mood, and I know a couple of you got several over the space of a couple hours. Tonight I intend to work on my massive Hanjie puzzle, and play a little Pokemon, and not emale people. We'll see how long that lasts.Bubbles wants cupcakes, so I'll be posting a recipe soon, and I invite you all to do the same. One way to my heart is with baked goods.
And speaking of ways to my heart - a bunch of friends were mocking me, because I have such strange required specifications when looking for a man. (Being able to cook was one of the less strange ones.) So they challenged me to write a list of things that I'm looking for, and I expect I shall be posting soon. If I can actually verbalize the things that I'm looking for - so often they are intangibles that I only know once I see or feel them.
So there's plenty for me to be getting on with, plenty to keep my mind occupied. Plus all the spring shit like cleaning out my closet - but let's face it, that's been top of my list for about eight weeks now, and the closest I've come to it is thinking about it.
