Hmmm...still no pictures.

There's a reasonable explanation for that - because we faked the whole thing! $\:D/$

Okay, so we didn't...I might be able to have my pics up tomorrow. We even have a JEC picture! $\:D/$

I would have posted more on here, but I was kidnapped, as you all know.

I had soooo much fun! It was really cool to meet so many people, and we had a lot of fun, and I wish that it had been even longer! $\:D/$ Jonathan will (hopefully) never live down going through that red light, and I shall never forget that the "E" stands for empty!

It was cool to meet some parents - we met's EC's and Sonuna's and Jonathan's parents, who were all very nice and not particularly freaked out about their children meeting the rest of us, which was nice. I would hate to have to try to convince somebody that I'm normal.

Though I'd like to hear you try ^_^

I will get my pics up as soon as possible. I'd have them up now, but the machines today at work went pretty wacko on me (which wound up being fine b/c I got to go home early ^_^ )

And I honestly have no recollection of running the red light. I'm pretty sure I just zoned out b/c it was early and there was no traffic and I was paranoid about people being able to follow me so I was probably watching the rearview mirror quite a bit at that point.

And I'll post my whole take on the convention later.

edit- oh and gimp jonathan says its his problem but the photo lab at work is down

Hope you and Chocolate are not a good mix, seriously betwen her and Sonuna's chocolate intake and reactions it got pretty lively!
Top, I don't really want to know what I'd look like if you drew the pictures. My pictures should be done tomorrow but to upload them to photo bucket with dial up is a nightmare!

Did Jonathan wear his leather suit?

Hope · Post by **Hope** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:41 pm

Gack. Wasn't thinking. Probably thinking of my imaginary leather suit line that includes choes, socks, underwear, pants, belt, shirt, overcoat, tie and hat.

Hope · Post by **Hope** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 8:55 pm

ok that would look cool......

Jonathan · Post by **Jonathan** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 10:43 pm

I actually don't know if the duct tape suit even exists anymore (and I'm sure the pants don't).

Pics will be up tomorrow. I tried uploading them today, but imageshack (or whatever I use) and dial-up don't like each other.

Lizzy · Post by **Lizzy** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 6:24 pm

I'm so excited, I just got my pictures back today! Jonathan, the one of you and EC pulling a pose in front of the gym turned out really well. I laughed really hard when I saw the group shot that I took where Sonuna's trying to bite you or something! I hadn't noticed that before!

Okay, finally I have some pictures to post! I know that it took forever! Sorry!

As the people found out last weekend, I am rather clueless when it comes to my family's digital camera. I was trying to find a video to show to Heidi (which I only found with Hope's help!

) and then left it in video mode. Later that day, we took some pictures...or at least I thought I did.

I forgot to change the modes. I picked this (really short) video to show because it makes me look the dumbest.

I'm the one saying "It should flash!" or something like that to Sonuna's mom, who was patiently manning the camera. It wasn't until later that I realized why it wasn't flashing - because it was taking a video instead of a picture!

Yes, I'm pathetic. Click here to see proof! $\:D/$

Here's a picture of us at Burger King after church on Sunday! Sonuna wasn't there, but the rest of us were!

Left to right, that's EC, Jonathan, Catspaw, Gimp, Hope, and Lizzy.

This is something that no ToO should go without seeing - JEC together! $\:D/$ And Jonathan doing a muscle-man pose! $\:D/$ Yes, click here for a sight that you will never regret seeing!

And finally, a sight for my fellow Blackgaards! Yes, I thought of you while shoppin with my best friend at the Mall of America!

Apparently I got a few odd looks while taking this picture of a store name, but hey, I never noticed, nor do I care!

I hope that this provides you with a good look at our trip! Yay! $\:D/$ *glares at everyone who didn't post pictures*

Hope · Post by **Hope** » Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:48 pm

hey.. dont glare at me. its Jonathans fault. He is sooooo s-l-o-w... lol but i love him. i have no idea why he hasnt though. i wish that he would get to it.. even though most of the pictures will be the same. which is why i dont know why we are posting the same pictures. im not complaining either....

I just finished reading the entire thread... amusing. $\:D/$

But no pics of Sonuna.

And that Regis picture would look good as a siggy.
