For the first time I don't hate the photos of me. Well done, jerkface. Well done. >_O

I'm gonna patent the ABM Process^TM.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Actually, I only took the ABM Process one. Jacquelyn took the other two, but I did the editing.

Oooh, I can patent the JSG Process!

[antarcticlust.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you, sir! :)

[symwyse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, first picture- not so conducive to dietary change. *fat man's chortle*

"god designed kangaroos weird"

Are you sure it wasn't random chance making way for millions of years of evolution? ;)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

It's hard to be on a diet when there's a barbecue/picnic like every weekend :P

Oh no, God is *so* perfect that he specifically designed kangaroos like that. Yeah, cuz random chance couldn't do that. Nope. Nu-uh.

lovely pictures :) Looks like you had a fun time.

I swear...Ethan looks so much older.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

He looks older every day, I swear. He turns 13 on Wednesday. I will be the parent of a teenager. Egads.

[shortcakeness.livejournal.com]

fun times:)neat glasses!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Indeed, indeed!

[brdgt.livejournal.com]

I am highly amused at whatever I took a picture of!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I wonder which of your pictures it is. OOOH, we haven't seen yooooouuur pictures yet!

[joraina.livejournal.com]

I swear, every time I see your kid I'm like, "Gucci model in the making." *jealousy is directed towards those to whom posing comes naturally*

I haven't been to any zoo-type place since I was in elementary school. I actually think I prefer the pictures to some extent; the lack of smell is...pleasant. Anyhoo, my favorite animals were always the small primates, especially the golden lion tamarins. You?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

He's a natural when it comes to posing. I can never catch him off guard.

I have a picture of a golden lion tamarin's ass that I didn't edit for this set, since the little bugger turned around real quick and mooned be before I could snap the photo :P My favorites are the primates as well, especially the cottontop tamarins. I would seriously love to have one as a pet. I'm also a fan of the polar bears for some reason.

[labelle77.livejournal.com]

I look vastly chunkier than I'd like, but I'm pretty sure that's not the photographers fault. :P otherwise, these kick ass.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

I almost felt bad posting that since ABM took such lovely photos of you. We all fall prey to the looking-down extra chin :(

[blackdreams.livejournal.com]

[laugh] I like the last one. Good pics! The first one makes me want cupcakes again.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Egads, me too! Those were so good, which means I should never eat them again :P

[kiwikat.livejournal.com]

All the photos from this weekend have me looking uberfat. That's not your fault, I'm probably just bein all critical of myself.

I love the photos of everyone else. The one of Ethan on the train especially. That kid is growing up alarmingly quickly.

Did you learn anything particularly illuminating during your census?

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Mackenzie and I were just complaining about that. The camera making us look fat, not the camera making you look fat. :P It's that whole camera-adds-10-pounds thing. It sucks, which means for Hollywood actresses to look anorexic, they much be SUPERANOREXIC!

That Ethan/Train picture is awesome. It's kind of scary that Ethan is taller than some of my friends :P

Yes, Polar bears are tall and when they are young, they have no faces.

[fortepiano.livejournal.com]

The baby polar bear HAS NO FACE.

Sheesh Ethan has long limbs.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Creepy, huh? Maybe I should have photoshopped in some glowing red eyes or maybe David Hasselhoff's head?

He's gonna stop growing soon, right?

[mananath.livejournal.com]

nice photos and happy birthday! It looks like a LJ convention!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

It's weird, suddenly I find myself hanging out with many Madison LJ peoples. I avoided this for the longest time, but I have finally caved and must admit that people are cool irl as well as on teh intarwebs.

[besina-sartor.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday! Looks like a fun time! :)

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D (It was!)

[tori-vixen.livejournal.com]

Polar bear census taker FTW! Though the captions in the last photo make it a fairly close 2nd. And someday, I hope someone loves me enough to make something as awesome as a cupcake tree for my birthday. :) Happy birthday, guy!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

YAY! Thank you!

We've discovered it's a lot easier to transport birthday cupcakes than birthday cake :D

[stelladieve.livejournal.com]

my eljay homepage said it's your birfday!
have a happy one, sir.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

It is, or rather was :) Thank you!

[echoardi.livejournal.com]

nice photos! :>

holy tall kid!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Yah, dood!

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Thank you, on all counts :D

[3starsinmyeyes.livejournal.com]

Looks like a splendid time was had by all :)

Happy belated Bday BTW :D
