It's the January picture thread!
The girls are going to love your black eye. It's like your hair, different on one side.
You should have paid him to do it. Then you would have really learned a lesson.
*edit. Perhaps, I shouldn't tease you about your Ed Norton-like friend. Does he really exist? Wait, that's breaking the first rule. I hope your injury gets better soon. 
I can't remember how many times I've been punched in the head.

Tuffy the Dump Truck may rarely increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke. The risk may be greater if you have heart disease or increased risk for heart disease (for example, due to smoking, family history of heart disease, or conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes), or with longer use. Tuffy should not be taken right before or after heart bypass surgery. Also, Tuffy may infrequently cause serious (rarely fatal) bleeding from the stomach or intestines. This effect can occur without warning symptoms at any time while taking Tuffy. Older adults may be at higher risk for this effect. (See also Precautions and Drug Interactions sections.) Stop taking Tuffy and get medical help right away if you notice any of the following rare but serious side effects: bloody or black/tarry stools, persistent stomach/abdominal pain, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, chest/jaw/left arm pain, shortness of breath, unusual sweating, weakness on one side of the body, sudden vision changes, slurred speech. Ask your doctor if Tuffy is right for you.
I was gonna say I've never been punched in the face and I'm almost 29, but I have actually been punched in the face. I just blocked that particular relationship from my memory, I guess.
I'm 31 and have never been punched in the face or anywhere.
It's a whole new feeling. I am sure it will happen again. And I might have been smacked but never punched with purpose in the face.
As your attorney, my advise to you is to start drinking heavily(er).-Tuffy
Never been punched in the face. When my brother and I were fighting, I would pull his hair and he would kick me in the stomach/kidneys thing. That was when we were older and it started to hurt so we kinda stopped.
I did get hit in the chin more times than I remember, both by my sister and my brother. Once my sister chipped off one of my front teeth and you can still see it. And another time I pulled out one of my brother's (loose) teeth. Fun times.

Not very humorous. Two months and still getting nasty headaches.
Lily's new favorite thing, taking pictures together,
You have a very pretty girl, Amber.
Thank You Irina.
She is smart and logical and tough and emotional and loving and compassionate and all these other things too.
I'm glad she has three older brothers.
You two take great pictures together, so much personality. She looks just like you, and has your pretty hair. And I like the paintings in the back.
All the crafts! I got this yesterday from England.
Hello class!
You really suit those! Looking great!
Thank you. The most important thing is that they suit my head shape - small, but round. My old frames didn't.
Adorable!
Snazzy! Neat t-shirt, too.
It says "virtual places".
cool glasses! They look really good 
I agree, they look great on you, and I'm loving your hair like that.
I had a little bonding session with my sister in the morning and asked her to braid it for me. It looks and feels better than a French braid.
Very Cute Irina.
Sexy. Your classmate is a fool if he doesn't love you.
I'm jealous. I've always wanted reading glasses and I actually look good in them too. Damn you perfect vision!(Just kidding, I love you perfect vision) I will eventually need glasses though. Both my parents have them, my grandparents have them, and it's mostly from age and reading all the time. When that day comes I will have all kinds of different glasses. It'll be worse than my shoe/jeans addiction.
They're not reading glasses. They're for when I'm in school in large halls and need to read at the blackboard. But I've noticed I see better with them even when I read, especially on the computer or the Kindle, so I'll just wear them all the time when I'm not out in the open.
i don't know why i said reading glasses but yeah i'm gonna need glasses eventually.
I'm sort of dreading when I finally need glasses. (which may be sooner than later)
It just seems like such a bother.
I can wait but deep down I'll be excited that I get to wear glasses.
I tried some reading glasses while waiting at the pharmacy with my mom a while back, and yeah, dammit.
I got tipsy from trying on my bosses glasses at work. I don't even have to drink beer to get drunk now.
As a child I used to like to put on Mum's reading glasses after spinning around in her office chair for a bit and then try to walk toward her liquor cabinet to put the stolen vodka back.
I only wear my glasses when driving at night. And even then usually only if I'm driving somewhere unfamiliar. I have trouble reading glowy things.

Irina is now the sexy librarian. Whooow

My brother's words were "porn secretary". Same for my best male friend.
Yup. Strange your brother said that though.

Okay, not sure which thread this belongs in. Just throwing this out, because it was fun moment, even though I look a little frowny.
These boots were originally around $300. Didn't know Uggs made hot stuff like this.
Just trying them on.
Look at you, lookin' good!
And I love the expression on your little girl's face....so cute!
Yeah, she's a trip.
Thanks Alecia!
I think that's the best part of the picture.
That's for sure. Haha! Yup, take her everywhere.
I really like those boots!
Yeah, wish I could get them in my size, at 80% off.
Thanks, I like your outfit pics, *too(in the other thread)! Hope to get down to your size in 2-3 more months, Imke.
Looking good! Izzy is like 'ma, what're you doin'?' and secretly judging you. Adorable.
I think you look great the size you are now Sema.
This was Lily.
The only picture we have of her. Only other reminder is a Lego bush she chewed partially. Every time my brother and I come across it we get misty eyes.
I know, right? So grateful for my little Jimmny Cricket, judging me.
Thank you pepper. I wish my husband felt the same way. I feel like this.
Puppy!!!! Know how ya feel about Lily. RIP Mr. Tuppence.
Stupid men.
Alright. That was rude of me. I'd be annoyed if someone referred to women collectively as stupid.
I suppose one of the quickest ways in a relationship to foster frustrations and cause resentments of being trapped is when one party loses sexual interest in the other, even partially losing interest, for whatever reason. Both individuals end up miserable in the worst sort of way- it's all the wrong tension. Just unfortunate.
I don't have any advice as I do not know the dynamics between you and him at all. I hope it works out for you in whatever way would please you most, whether that be you ditching him or him suddenly being filled with insatiable desire for you or something in between.
In the mean time, cheer up. You are sexy even if one guy that has been with you already has forgotten.
Not because you are an asshole, I mean, you were never even punched by a sibling or a kid in the schoolyard or anything?
I couldn't tell you how many times I've been punched in the face.
