I am currently in, or travelling to, The Kingdom of Norway (north Europe, next to Sweden, full of fjords).
Updates will come at odd hours, and as of yet I have no idea of what I'll be doing in Norway, except taking photos of fjords. They don't do much in Norway.
For more info use the 'Norway' tag, and go grab a sexy, hot-off-the-press Fjord Photo!

For those dual-beard naysayers…

A few of you doubted that I actually left the house with my ‘dual-beard’ setup.

To those of little faith, I give you: Sebastian goes to the post office.

Not sure why all of the whites have been replaced with pinks — I guess my grandmother’s camera is going through its dying throes.

Afterward, I walked into the post office and stepped up to the little booth with my head down. ‘I need to send something to a friend of mine’ I said rather noncommittally. Then I raised my head and fixed a grim stare at her, grinning with just the evil side of my face. I have to say, she coped rather well! She quite visibly recoiled, a look of concerned disgust on her face, but recovered quickly. There was a quick intake of breath, and she shocked me with what she said next: ”Sure, just put your package on the scales… turn around, and leave this place of sanctity, you vile beast!’

And so I did.

I bet they have a picture of me under their desk now — a grainy, black and white security camera one.  Right next to the panic button.

    hahaha
    1) it looks like you’re naked under your coat
    2) you actually look quite cute
    3) I bet you made her day. Something to laugh about over tea and cakes

  2. pinkjellybaby:

    um and what’s with the picture of the Golden Retriever on the wall?

  3. pinkjellybaby:

    oh, and the cat.

    Clearly photoshopped here…have you been airbrusing yourself Mr Seb?

  4. pinkjellybaby:

    and you still look like someone and I can’t work out who.

    I told you i’d go off on a chatter. You have only youself to blame!

  5. sebastian:

    No, I have no idea why they are there on the wall… and I didn’t notice them until you mentioned it!

    The photo was actually taken from her car, as she refused to be seen in public with me… Sad but true :(

  6. pinkjellybaby:

    Has your Grandmother been experienceing hallucinations recently? It’s the only explaination…

  7. pinkjellybaby:

    p.s. sorry for poor spelling today. Well, in general but you know

  8. sebastian:

    Yes… some how her LSD trip infected the camera’s memory card! That explains the pinkness, and the dog… but not my rather alarming cuteness…

  9. pinkjellybaby:

    welcome to my world…

  10. pinkjellybaby:

    oh it also doesn’t explain why you went to the Post Office with just a coat on and nothing but stockings and suspenders (i’m guessing) underneath…

  11. sebastian:

    Well, I don’t leave the house often… I’m not really ‘with it’ when it comes to what today’s social norms are.

    Once upon a time stockings and suspenders were all the rage, you know.

  12. pinkjellybaby:

    They still are…. just not on men…

    I’m not really one to talk though, I once got the train/tube from Kent to North London with pretty much the same thing on…

  13. sebastian:

    There’s a difference between a booty call and going to the post office, dear.

  14. pinkjellybaby:

    I actually went to the supermarket and to my boyfriends! I wouldn’t call that a booty call…. but ok, if you insist, props to you for going to the Post Office like that.

  15. Jo:

    Methinks you are standing in front of a pet shop!

  16. sebastian:

    Ahah! See! I knew there was a rational explanation…

  17. sebastian:

    Ahah! See! I knew there was a rational reason…

  18. Ambles:

    I never doubted it for a second

  19. Jossie Posie:

    ahahahaha. Perfection. I think its quite sad that I think you look cute sporting this look. Oh what that statement says about me.

  20. sebastian:

    Well, as always when I go out, there’s a fairly equal distribution of those that swarm towards me for a closer look, and those that try to get as far away as possible.

    The dual-beard just exacerbated that.

    I don’t know how either, but generally I manage to make just about anything look cute. I blame the charisma.

  21. andhari:

    Wow, just when I thought you gonna stay home if you still keep the beard. HILARIOUS! Try going to a dance, people might be friendlier. :P

  22. Daniel Cassidy:

    I was holding my laptop at all sorts of crazy angles trying to get the screen out of the sunlight and the photo to stop looking pink.

    Until I read the next paragraph.

  23. sebastian:

    Hahahaha.

    I did the same when I first received it :(

    And then I read the next line in the email from my grandmother.

  24. floreta:

    i love your coat!!

    this is a cute look on your face..
    i’ve seen this look on some of your other pictures.

  25. floreta:

    and i thought the pinks was something you did for effect. it’s neat!

  26. sebastian:

    Thanks; the coat is part of my Gestapo get-up. I have a nice, broad-rimmed hat too, and I just turn my collar up to complete the look.

    I love pink, but not THAT much!

  27. Tara:

    LMFAO.

    THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY.

    I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF.
