Caption Caption, Who’s Got The Caption?

I need to write a real, honest-to-goodness, gut dump of a blog post but I’m scared that anything I say today will come out heinously vitriolic or completely depressed in a drama queen sort of way.  I’d like a day or so to figure out what it is deep down inside of me that is causing me to seriously feel 1.) like kicking certain people’s teeth out of their heads or 2.) like running and holding on to some people while I cry, all clingy like the brand name Saran Wrap (not that cheap shit that falls apart).  I’m hoping it’s just a phase caused by snapping back to reality after five days of frivolity and fun…although, part of me knows it isn’t, dammit.  Right now there’s sort of a beauty in my breakdown though, so I think I’ll let it ride until I can figure out what the hell to say and/or how to say it without being snatchy and such.

In the meantime, as some of you know, I just returned home from BlogHer and a weekend at Jester’s house.  To be honest, I spent less time at BlogHer than a lot of people but I have my reasons, some of which are private.  Blah blah blah, moving on…

Whenever there is a huge get together with anyone, lots of pictures are taken and plastered for the world to see on various Flickr accounts.  Part of my aforementioned “break down” has to do with some of those pictures and trying to reconcile the way others see me (especially when they use words like “pretty” or “beautiful”) with the way I see myself (which is sometimes flattering, often not).  In any case, of all the pictures that I have seen so far, the one below is my favorite for some odd reason.  It’s main focus isn’t me, but my presence is there and yanno, something about this picture sums up my friendship with my lovely friend Jester.

Where do we go from here?  I want you to CAPTION THIS PICTURE! That’s right!  If you feel like playing, find a clever little caption for the picture above and we shall put them to a vote later this week!  The winner gets something so special that I can’t even mention it yet (yeah, we all know what that really means but shush!).  Anyway, ready. set, go!  Oh and, if you have nothing clever to say, don’t worry…your comments about other shit are always welcome too!

Rooty Tooty Fresh And Fruity Kisses,
Me

ETA:  Karl took this picture.  It can be found on his Flickr!

    For the love of god, Hilly, BE CAREFUL! You’ll suck all the gay out of him!

    that’s a great shot. i love jester’s pout. i’m sorry you’re feeling conflicted about yourself, or shots of you on the internet — i know it can be difficult to reconcile the You that YOU see with the You that everybody else sees. but you ARE beautiful. i love the hair — it makes me miss mine

    I love this shot. (Good job Karl.) I have felt many deserve a good telling off. Just snarkity snark snark away if you need.

    As for a caption “What do you mean she doesn’t have a penis.” (Best I can do with this throat. Been giving too much head of something.) — Sorry sex on the mind.

    I don’t have a caption, but that is one beautiful photo. I love the timelessness of the b&w as well as the way the top is blown out until you get to the core of the shot—you two.

    That photo is just too full of beauty and love for me to make a funny caption, sorry.

    I’m glad I got to give you a hug hello even though we barely know each other, but sad we didn’t get to talk or hang out at all. It sounds as if you are going through a really intense time, but I’m certain you will come through stronger.

    God, I’ve tried to create a few captions but I suck.

    I looked at all of your Flick pictures today and I have one thing to share - it had to do with the picture that you took first thing in the morning for one of the “truthiness” portraits - wanna know what I thought?

    I thought: Seriously, this is the worst she looks? Fucker!

    You look better first thing in the morning than I look on most days with hours of work. That being said, I know what it it is like to be down on yourself (obviously). I guess I just wish that you could see the person that we see you as. (Yes, I ended the sentence with a preposition - sue me).

    Then again, I should probably do the same with myself - so no pointing of fingers here.

    Oh, wait, I have a caption inspiration:

    “Friendship. SWAK.”

    Take care honey!

    Ok, that was stupid….I couldn’t think of anything witty to say!

    Glad you have a good friend in Jester and hope your mood gets better. This too shall pass…right?

    Hey Hilly, I love that picture of you and Jester, it’s just so sweet. I thought of you this weekend when we went to the Original Cupcake store way too many times. I tried to mail you one, but it wouldn’t fit in the envelope.

  24. Chris Says:

    No Hilly, for the last time I do not want to taste your sweet sweet sugar!

    Welcome back home. I am freshly home after two weeks away, I can relate to that part of your madness.

    The wii head pictures were especially funny. (you got a little infra red on your chin;)

    I hope you get through the rest of your breakdown unscathed.
