You managed a truly freakish background here. Otherworldly, nearly painterly. I know I'm boring you to tears by now, but again I have to remark on your beautiful sense for muted colors. You made even Bethanys hair fit in. :-)

She's got a beautiful profile, one I would never have guessed she possesses when seeing the first shot in this series. And yes, here, I grumblingly agree that her orange hair really makes sense, looks smashing even. What's also remarkable are the lines you can see in the palm of her hand. Very unusual, this strong line that's running horizontally across it. Other lines seem diminished, just faintly there. What to make of it? I have no idea, it just caught my eye. :-)

Congratulations on a very beautiful work. It justifies once again all the praise you receive from people with eyes and heart.

And your short comment to your work I read as follows. By exchanging the heart with a comma, it reads: Bethany, smoking is bad for you. This personalized sentence excludes me, so I can go on with my vice unperturbed. :-)

getting compliments on my work can never EVER get old! so thanks very much for that :D
i like your interpretation of my smoking comment :D i only wrote it there in case someone started to moan im promoting smoking among young people. To be honest with you for the past few months i have been smoking quite a lot so im not one to preach here!

Ha, you know how to surprise! I would have sworn before any court in this world that you are a non-smoker by default. :-) So yes, it does surprise me that you've given the blue smoke some space in your life.

I understand that you don't want to be seen as promoting smoking. And it is the right thing to do. As much as I enjoy smoking myself, I would never ever recommend it to whomever (which includes terms like "worst enemy"). There's plenty of possibilities to get horribly sick of whatever in this life, or having to leave this world by accident or violence, but should none of these many unpleasant possibilities occur, then there's a good chance that the negative sides of smoking will catch up with you some day.

Because I'm curious about most anything, I wouldn't mind to live for about 500 hundred years or so. Make that 5000. But as this is simply not possible (unless YOU come up with a solution to this in your studies), I don't mean to hang on as long as ever possible; being practically brain-dead or what. Because of all that, smoking is not highest on the agenda of my worries. :-) Still, considering the way humans are, there may be a day in the future where I'll regret such loose talk. :D

I'm quite relieved that I'm not boring you with my comments; which have a tendency to be all similar in its directions and praise. But that's due to your truly captivating work. As you have a tendency to do top-quality stuff only, it is difficult to find fault and elaborate on that endlessly. :-)

Yeah that was me until last summer when i decided i should, you know, live a little. I can't explain to you the amounts of tobacco and alcohol i consumed when i went home for christmas! There was hardly one day when i was completely sober. This must sound dreadful, I know, for a girl my age. But somehow i just felt like that was the right thing for me to do during that time. Can't explain why. I guess I was just too quiet and well behaved of a kid when growing up in my parents house. I dont smoke on a regular basis, i just get times when i feel i have to. And it looks cool too, im sure you know what i mean haha!
And I promise you my area of research will not be immortality (even though theories were suggested to us during genetics class) as im not THAT big a fan of the human race haha :D
