There are people on
the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty
to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a
day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend
hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and
posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They
expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or
else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info
people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here,
or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or
the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go
somewhere else.
It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the
little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending,
big, mean and
nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site.
It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want
to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh
fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my
thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line,
someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't
like me,
cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal
is NOT for
you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame
or anything
stupid like that. I write it because I need to write
and express
myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read
or don't, it
doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about
it.

Flutterby Butterfly On Sunday, we decided to make a last-minute trip out to Walt Disney World. Our passes are only good through May 20th and we're not going to have the cash to renew so I want to take advantage of it as much as possible. Besides, I had to pick up something for a friend AND wanted to grab something for my Full Moon Swaps package. Oh and you know, it's Disney so I always want to go.
Epcot has an annual event called the Flower and Garden Festival. They set up all these cool topiaries, flowers all over the place, plants and exhibits. They also have a butterfly garden. It's a lovely festival and Epcot is so pretty and colorful during it. Well, Saturday night we went to bed with warnings about the weather Sunday AM. Severe weather warnings - thunderstorms, tornado watches, high wind advisories. It wasn't a pretty forecast. And when we woke up, it was quite nasty out there. We left here around 11am and headed out to Orlando. As we drove, the sky got darker and it even drizzled a little.
As we arrived, there was no rain, but it was overcast and very breezy. In fact, it was gusts to 45mph all day long. Still, an overcast day at Disney is better than a sunny one at home. Turns out, it was a beautiful day. By around 2pm or so, the sun came out, the sky turned blue and though the breeze remained, the temperature was wonderfully cool. It was only a high of 77F (25C) with low humidity. (To put it into perspective, the day before? It was 90F (32C) with a lot of humidity and no wind.) And the best part was, that the fear of the terrible weather in the morning must have scared away much of the crowd because it was very uncrowded - especially for this time of year.
Which brings us to the title of the post. I was able to get some fantastic butterfly photos this year. Last year, I couldn't get any, but this year they were very docile, still and in good quantity for nice photographic opportunities.
(If you'd like any of them for personal use only as your desktop wallpaper, feel free to give me your screen size and I'll be happy to make one up for you. I really like how they came out.)
After Epcot, we went over to the Magic Kingdom. It got quite chilly after the sun went down and poor Love was in a tee and shorts. But it too was pretty empty crowd-wise so we hit some rides, caught a bite to eat and headed home around 9pm or so. It wound up being a lovely day.
