they have a nice, historic church wherein the preservationists will CUT YOU if you suggest messing with the architecture.

Heh. My parents' synagogue recently moved to a new building. The building that they moved to used to be a church, and it had a steeple. They immediately removed the cross from the top of the steeple, but there was some debate over whether to remove the steeple itself. Ultimately, the "it looks too churchy" people won out over the "it looks cute and old-timey" people.

Damn, I look old.

No, the lighting is weird. Seriously. Everything in the picture looks faded.

Your hair, however, no matter what the lighting is, is KICKASS.

There's a church over in my mom's neck of the woods whose steeple has blown off the building at least three times. I don't even know how that's possible, but at least one of those times I've driven by and there it was, lying in the yard next to the church.

Bungee cords would fix that. Though the rebound would be hard on the rafters.

They may want to reconsider what god to worship.

(Well, Unitarian Universalists may or may not have steeples, depending on whether they're in a newer building and perceive steeples to be reinforcing the phallocentric nature of earlier stages of spiritual belief or if they have a nice, historic church wherein the preservationists will CUT YOU if you suggest messing with the architecture. It depends.)

Ha!

The Baptist church I grew up in has a steeple. And what a pain in the ass that's been -- it keeps trying to fall down. Luckily, the building has some historic status.

It's the built-in webcam on my Dell laptop. Methinks it's probably crap. I like that I can blame it on the camera quality.

I just got this bra from Title Nine and I'm never taking it off.

Finally got a shot of my new haircut & color. Damn, I look old.

Nah, but you DO have my (awesome) Crazy Oz Hair from a few years ago. (2002, in fact--I'd cut it short just after the F2F and then spent the summer going lighter and lighter until I had that cut and that color.)

Hil! That's Peaches Geldof! She's the daughter who got the good name, the one I feel sorry for is Fifi Trixibelle.
