Happy birthday Wayne.

Happy birthday Louis!!! My chastity. LOL

Yeah, horror stories like this was often uttered when I was in photography class. Big *ss, very distracting and unattractive watermarks aren't the guarantee of everything, but at least it deters the people from simply copy to their hard drive and start entering the contests, without even have to do some back-engineering work under Photoshop. These days people steal like it's nothing. I personally had such experience. One day, my cousin congratulated me that my photo was selected to a popular foodie blog (it was a photo of a restaurant). I asked him what website, because I didn't remember I gave anybody permission to use my photo during that time period. When I went there, indeed, it was my photo, swiped off from my Flickr account. I asked the owner to remove the photo, a very similar response to the one Graeme found in the article was given to me, "You posted it on Flickr, what do you expect?" "I will remove the photo, but if you don't know this is the Internet, then you have a lot of things to learn," she said. I swear if I have the money and time to waste, I'd sue her. The photo has watermark on it, and on Flickr I specifically put "All rights reserved." It's not even Creative Common (and as Cia mentioned, even under Creative Common, you need to follow the rules). Sure, it's just a travel snap, but AS LONG AS she asked, I'd give the permission, I don't even need financial compensation for that crappy shot. Is that too much to ask?

MIKIE! Happy birthday.

I like this post. Preposition is one of those things I fail the most of....

I like sour candies, but Kit Kat is good too. No I didn't do swap, cause Ashi was to shy to swap stuff....

Mine count as 50 posts each.

Awww.... So are you going to post a photo of yourself behind a costume at least? It is Halloween after all?

Happy birthday, Lacey!

Umm.... Cynus.... I am not asking what's your sexuality. I know your sexuality already, cause we had a deep conversation about it. I am sorry if this poll offends you.... But the thing is..., the Poll is not about your sexuality, but rather, if you happen to be gay, then what's the most defining character that made you think you're gay? Maybe I am so far into the strictly gay side, the possibility of a relationship with a lady doesn't even register into the my brain, so to me it's all about whether it's physical or emotional bonding part of me that defines who I am.... And this very narrow scope survey is about this very specific aspect of sexuality. Remember I said it's very academic, and the very reason I think I shall refrain from adding other spectrum of sexuality into the survey, because it CAN become way too complex to do a survey on. I respect your sexuality and I knew about bisexuality side of the story more than a decade ago..., when I met "the ex." He's such a darling but we were just looking for different things. Anyways.... My answer to my own poll:

So... the mega-million question everyone some time in their life would ask themselves. Please be honest about your own selection. That is, how you truly believe and practice in your own life, not what is considered socially acceptable (which could go either way, by the way), or what you believe to be the ideal. If you have a background story that affects how you define your own sexuality, feel free to share at your own comfort level. This is by no mean a scientific study, but a survey out of curiosity. It is not to be used to define what sexuality is in an objective measure. So please keep it civil and academic. And I keep it only two options so it forces people to choose only one. I know to plenty of us love and sex are inseparable. But if you can only choose having just one, which would you be rather having? Currently I am limiting the question to only gay people (gay and lesbian), because I believe it might be more helpful to understand just one focused group rather than include bisexual, pansexual, asexual, straight people into the formula, who might have very different answers due to very different circumstances. If this survey proves to be meaningful (and please keep it civil and academic), then we'll move on to other spectrum of the sexuality. Let's face it, it's pretty complex just within this selected group. I confess Lesbians might have very different rationale than gay people also, but I believe it's good to include lesbians in this mix, due to the commonality that our relationship is strictly committed to just one gender (besides straight couples). I will reveal my own opinion on this subject later, as not to sway the outcome of this survey by setting a tone. So what do you think that made you gay? Sex or Love?

Let's all love each other. I like the fact the video includes a lot of older lesbian couples.

OMGOMG! Drew is fangirling. Will the world come to the end. Where is that red button!?!?!? ROFLMAO, jajajajajaja. #fartsandsnorts So..., you confessed you read pr0n stories eh? So much for an angel you are. Just kidding. You're so cute. Halloween is definitely your holiday.

At least he didn't do a factorial of 17.

My post counts as 50 posts, just because I am awesome.

Yesh?

Tom Hank's Big. Every time I see the Zoltar fortune telling machine, I feel I could be young again... but I never insert a quarter and get my fortune told.

Happy birthday.

Haha. Happy birthday. May your girl luck better this year.

Bearwolf!

I remember J.Crew used to sell a book of such title. Now it's Project Gutenberg. I guess being a gentleman should be democratic.

DREW!!!

Okay, I'll save the Kleenex for tonight....

You brave soul. Now you can go for the guy of your dream.

(*wipes his face incessantly*)
