um... i'm not sure i understand...
you want us to just post pictures
of ancient egypt?

and... er... for "life"...
isn't that pretty much every photo?

((confused))



Anything about the Egyptians, like pyramids, hieroglyphics, stuff like that. As for life, yeah that can include practically everything, that's the point! Or, we could do inanimate objects if you prefer. Those were just the top things on the top of my head (which tells you that there's nothing in it lol).

Basically, what I'm trying to say is feel free to ignore me when I don't make sense

See... now... most of us here, I'm guessing, don't live near the Pyramids or have hieroglyphs carved into our walls. (I do, but I'm just one person and really not all that interesting.) So, it's going to be difficult to have that as a "theme."

I was hoping people would try to stick to things that are concepts or perceptions or the like, instead of hard-and-fast objects. The idea behind this "game" is to show us all what you see or think of when someone suggests an idea or vision or concept; to look around your environment and capture an image of what you see that fits the concept from your perspective. Not just to show us an image of what someone else showed you. If that makes sense?

But since you asked for Ancient Egypt, I do have a few artifacts (I worked as an intern for a summer at the Milwaukee Public Museum, so these things are genuinely ancient Egyptian). The only one I can find at the moment (heh) is this Ib. Each night, an ancient Egyptian's soul returns to this amulet...



...and together we watch reruns of ST:TNG and Dexter. XD

*wonders exactly how many ancient Egyptian artifacts HK has if she can only find one 'at the moment'*

I understand that the pyramids were tentatively scheduled to be built here in Maryland, but they went with Egypt instead. Better weather, I guess.

oh, no, not just better weather, but also a much larger population to serve as the work force.

and, really, Maryland? way too nouveau for the look they were going for.

Well, yes, there's that too. All things being equal, I'm kinda glad there's not a giant pyramid out back of my house.

While I am not 'comfy' at the moment, the pups certainly is.

Makes sense to me.
I still vote 'comfy' but am of course open to suggestions.

I, being not as awesome as you, have no Egyptian artifacts. I do, however, have an ankh necklace that I love very much.



Also, here's a random pic I took of the moon about twenty minutes ago.




I don't think that being cautiously ashamed, or selectively ashamed, or in any way ashamed of who I am is any way to live my life.

What you said to me earlier is true: that is a beautiful photo, and very randomly colourful too!

And inspired by Rose's moon shot, I dug out a couple of photos I took of the moon a while back...

Well, here's my entries for Egyptian


And for comfy


And, I also have this really cool Egyptian necklace, but I dodn't have a camera, so I can't show you guys . That's also a small part of the reason why I'm not posting pics of myself.

I take it we have a moon theme now? I'll have to dig up moon pics now and make another pretty

Here's my moon collage (courtesy of Google)


It's small, with only four pics, but you can only get so many different pics of the moon.
