h2g2 friends photo gallery
Posted May 16, 2004
Now that the photo gallery is well under way I thought I should start a new journal entry with the link on the first page:
http://public.fotki.com/azahar/h2g2_friends/
To add your photo(s) to the gallery you can either post a link here or send me one by email:
azaharh2g2 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Let me know if you would like a caption put below your photo. And if you ever change your mind about having your photos in the gallery then I will delete them for you. Once your photo is on a page I cannot 'replace' it, though I could remove it if you like and add a new one to the latest page. Or simply add another photo if you find another one you would like to have in the gallery.
The original photo gallery thread is here: F119314?thread=420158 in case you haven't seen it and would like to read the comments from others who are already in the gallery.
And tell your friends! 
At the moment this is a word-of-mouth project, so please don't put the link on 'ask h2g2'. Thanks.
Hope to *see* you soon!

hootoo friends photo gallery
Posted May 11, 2004
It came up on another thread this evening that I have a very nice private hootoo photo gallery of most of my friends here.
Then I got the idea that I could maybe start a new album on my fotki page and have all you guys in it! 
For those of you whose photos I already have - would this be okay with you? And for those whose photos I don't have and who would like to be in my photo album, you could send a photo to my hootoo email address:
azaharh2g2 (at) yahoo (dot) com
Nobody can download the fotki photos except me and it is not 'totally' public, only for people who have the link to my page.
Well, let me know what you think! I think it's a lovely idea though I understand that some people prefer to remain 'faceless'.

ps
don't worry Math, I won't post *that* photo!

March 2 - first anniversary
Posted Mar 1, 2004
A year ago I was at home happily reading my newly-purchased copy of The Salmon of Doubt and after seeing several mentions of this h2g2 thing I decided to take a look at it myself.
My life hasn't been the same since.
I have met some of the most interesting, caring, wonderful friends here over the past year. I've been involved in conversations ranging from the totally silly to the seriously challenging. And all of them worthwhile.
Anyhow, just wanted to take a bit of time here to thank all of my friends (you know who you are! ) and raise a glass of whatever you fancy 
and celebrate one year of being here with my very special hootoo family.

ps
with special thanks to DNA!

Lua
Posted Feb 13, 2004
I found out today that Lua might have a tumour. She has been put on anti-biotics for a week, in case it's just a really bad infection, but the vet said she was quite sure it was a tumour. It's a very hard lump under one of her nipples and it's been bleeding.
Well, as some of you already know, I am feeling quite overwhelmed by sadness and worry. And I thought it would be better to write about this in my journal rather than pester everyone on separate threads.

birthday girl!
Posted Jan 7, 2004
Yay! It's my birthday today! 
To quote Big Red: 'I went through a lot to get this far!' 
So, made it through another year. Phew! Why do people get so upset about getting older when it means you are still alive and kicking? Surely *not* getting older would be the more unpleasant option.
Anyhow, I love birthdays and I always make a big fuss about them - mine and everyone else's.
And just in case you're wondering - I'm 47 today. Yay!
