Hahah. (Dangit, again!) Don't worry, I didn't think you were angry. And even if you were, you're rights, it would be justified.

The funny thing about Cloves is they are the only kind of cigarette I think taste good, but they are the worst for you.
I have a bunch of friends who smoke, so odds are I smoke a few cigarettes a day through second-hand smoke anyway. And I know it's bad. I won't even try to justify it. I just enjoy the occasional smoke, not all the time. And I generally don't smoke around non-smokers out of respect for them. If I want to mess up my lungs, that's my business, but I don't want to mess them up, too.

p.s. i just read that last tag and it sounds really angry. i'm not angry

yum? those little bastards are doing damage to you and the innocent bystanders around you. i don't touch any kind of cigarette

Hahah. (I start a lot of comments that way, I've noticed) It's actually great. I like it. It's a real challenge, 'cause I submit myself to a lot of rules I wouldn't normally have, but it pays out in the end. I'm doing what I really want to do, so it's worth making some sacrifices.
I'm not of legal drinking age in the US anyway, so I technically shouldn't be having wine in the hot tub, or anywhere else, whether or not I'm out of school.
I hate most cigarettes, but Cloves are nice. You ever smoked a Clove? Djarum Blacks? Yum...

that sounds like a shit program. except for the cigarettes. that part's good. fucking hate cigarettes

Hahah. You can't party too much, then it becomes less special. You need to find that happy medium.
Going out and having a good time with friends is always in order, though. In fact, it seems in order, now...
I don't want to give the wrong impression, 'cause I have not actually drank (meaning more than tasting a drink) in two years, and I'm not a drinker. Anyway, right now I'm in a program where I can't drink or smoke, but lately, a hot tub, a cigarette and a bottle of wine have sounded very inviting, so I know how I'll be celebrating the end of my school year :-)

i do that every weekend! ;)

Hahah. Awesome. Sounds like a good time. As long as you weren't sick today.
The only bad thing about birthdays is you have to wait a whole year to have another one. It's important to have arbitrary parties to keep yourself on your toes :-)

thankyou! i went out last night. i got all dolled up, went out and drank and drank and drank. had a great night.

and this is the surprising part, i actually feel fantastic today! i think i might go for a swim!

Haha. I'm gonna have to come up with a believable reason to just run around kissing people. Maybe it could be to celebrate victory in Iraq. We won, right...? Heheh.

Happy freakin' birthday! What are you doing to celebrate? I'd give you a birthday lap dance, but it's a long drive to Australia...
Here's a funny conversation I had with my buddy about a 22-year old I met:
'is 22 too old?'
'nope. is she hot?'
'duh.'
'then nope.'
Have a great day.

it would have been incredible. i would have felt like kissing a whole bunch of strangers as well.

guess what? it's my birthday!

I was just kidding. She's totally loving it. He probably kissed the old lady right before the nurse, anyway ;-)
Those two sailors on the left are totally loving it, though. They're just jealous they didn't have the idea first.
Can you imagine what the atmosphere must have been like in Times Square right then? It must have been amazing.

creepy? i can see how you could think that, but i think she's lovely.
she looks all nostalgic, like she's remembering the time when someone held her like that. "ohhhh young love"

how bout the other sailor in the background who's like, "yeahhhhh!"

Hahah. I'd never noticed her before. She's a little creepy...

yeah i thought the story behind the picture was funny too.

they made a statue of the kissing couple a while back and on the news they followed up the story behind it.
they talked to the nurse but nobody knows who the sailor is.

i love the old lady in the background

Here is what I learned about the picture we both like so much:
That sailor had been running around kissing everyone. He kissed old ladies, married ladies, probably homeless ladies, then Albert got the one of the sailor kissing the nurse. I thought that was really funny. I always thought it was this romantic picture of a sailor coming home to his sweetheart. Nope, just a manwhore. ;-)
It's still a great picture, though.

it's 12 am here. i just got home from work and i had a big night last night, so that's why i'm tired.

it's all good. you should google him and have a look at his other photos. his great.

i'm goin to bed now. merry christmas!

Haha. Tired? What time is it in Australia? It's about 5am here...I was gonna go to sleep an hour ago...
You know, I have to be honest: I didn't know who the photographer was until I saw it on your profile, and I don't know his other work. I just really liked that picture since the first time I saw it. I also just found out the title is 'VJ Day, The Kiss', not even what I thought it was. My bad.

sorry i keep on stuffing up the spelling of words. i meant works. i'm tired
