I'm having trouble seeing the point of fighting this fight

[clevermanka]

Remember, back ages ago, when I pointed to certain celebrity appearances that seemed to be humoring the fandom/slash communities? Yeah. Now I think they weren't so much humoring as egging us on. I mean seriously.

So this happened on Saturday night:

It took me five tries to get that shot. Tom has much longer arms than I do.

Sherlock/Watson63 photos are up! Here's the best (IMO) pic of the bunch. Watson=BAMF.

Click the photo to go to my Flickr account for more pictures.

And now for the bummer: I'm either crazy swollen again or I'm packing on fat like nobody's business. Last night I noticed that I was especially puffy, so I measured my waist this morning. Thirty-two inches. That's up four inches from where I like to be, and where I was this time last year. In April of last year, I posted that thirty-two inches is what I'd swelled up to after eating. I've been so super careful with my food choices, and although I haven't been CrossFitting, I've been at least moderately active. And yet--my norm is now what my peak swollen state was. This sucks. I don't even know anymore. I'm sad.

I wish my follow-up appointment with Dr. Khosh wasn't so far away. But I can't say I've seen any improvement at all from his recommended supplements (digestive enzymes, a probiotic, and the adrenal support capsules). Ugh. Depressed.

GAH, wtf, body? This has gone on LONG ENOUGH. Get back to normal, please. :(

In other news, that top photo of you rocks. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I'm really worried this is my normal. Honestly, I don't remember what normal is like. I think I last experienced a normal body/digestive tract/endocrine system in the early 90s.

Hot!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Whee! Thank you!

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

High-low post is high-low.

Yeah.

a) Yay!

b) Um. Yeah. It might've gotten deleted. Dunno. It's not on the memory card that mckitterick gave me. SADNESS.

Your photo pairing is full of awesome!

SUCK about the swelling...

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It could have only been better if I'd had that white background and an overexposed flash. Or, you know, TOM HIDDLESTON WAS TAKING THE PHOTO.

Yeah, big time suck. I'm getting back to the point where less than half my clothes fit.

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Love the pics!

Bummer on the body issues....

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And yeah, seriously. This is just incredibly exhausting, physically and emotionally.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

The characterization in that photo is delicious!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I love how there are two different photos where one is giving the other THE LOOK OF LOVE, but we didn't manage to get any actual photos of eye-fucking.



ETA: MOAR EYE FUCKING.

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

teehee!

[grnvixen.livejournal.com]

I see collar flip! Great job on the coat, glad you got such a good set of pics.

Sorry about the bloat, I can really sympathize. Trying to figure out what is triggering GI issues myself. Yuk!

And keep the Avengers coming! I thought I was getting to old for fan-girl stuff but this movie and all the great characters kicked it off again :).

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

HOUSTON WE HAVE COLLAR FLIP.

Great job on the coat

That means a lot coming from you. Thank you!

I thought I was getting to old for fan-girl stuff but this movie and all the great characters kicked it off again

For. Real. I haven't fangirled over an actor like this since I was in my twenties. If then. I can get obsessed with characters, but it's a rare thing that I get all worked up over an actor.

But JFC TOM HIDDLESTON

[msmitti.livejournal.com]

love this gif too!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I <3 GIFS

[stuology.livejournal.com]

Tom has much longer arms than I do.

That may be the case, but honestly, it is more from his lens being a wider angle than the one you are using. You could get the same perspective on your shot with a different lens.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

*is amused by thinking of how to attach a lens to my point-and-shoot camera*

[carmy-w.livejournal.com]

Get a magnifying glass!!! The perfect prop!

[sherwood21.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that you are actually an alien bent on world domination and are disguising your lack of humanity by stealing organs. It's not swelling. It's six hearts and an extra spleen.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha ha ha!

You know, there's a lot of people out there who say I could do with some more heart...

[pennswoods.livejournal.com]

I love that shot. And you already know what I think of the cosplay. Speaking of cosplay, I think I've solved my John jacket dilemma with a handy shortcut. It won't be exact, but it will be close enough!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay! Happy to hear you found a quick and easy workaround for John's coat!

[jimmy-hollaman.livejournal.com]

have i told you how much i love your costuming? Sherlock Holmes 63 is wonderful, then again i have something towards the gender bending of things. :)

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you, hon!

We had a lot of fun in those costumes, and despite my moaning and gnashing of teeth about it, I am glad I made them.

[jimmy-hollaman.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, it may be hard to do, but the results are always worth the trouble
