Thanks Zack,

I used your one-light method to shoot night-time photos of how I wrecked my car. which turned what could have been a self-deprecating exercise, into a fun photography experiment!

Thanks Robin,

For constantly repeating the words "No, but thanks for asking." I used them today.

Well....technically my words were "I'm not going to discuss my PMS with you, but thanks for asking!"


Thanks OSP,

All in all, there was a lot of humor in the day, thanks mucho to you. I'm going to bed...still a sane lady.

Love & Kisses,
Jillian

Awww - You had me at 'hello' . . . . hold me.

only yoooooooooou!

(You had me at the chmpr liscence plate...)

Jillian

I checked out your blog. GREAT lighting on the first ever TTC session!


( I think maybe this is taking the "Trash this, that & the Other' concept a little too far though)

Seriously...I'm so sorry you had a bingle (Aussie-ism?) in your lovely car. Just so glad you're OK!

Annie

Awe... I'm sorry about your "bingle" too (I'm TOTALLY adopting that word and will use it all the time - thanks Annie!).

I thought YOU were going to be the hot model on the car (could've used the timer).

And you had ME at PMS.

hahaha, i love you guys .

What's a 'figgy'?

fig newtons.....the whole reason i was in the accident.

Good grief, Jilly... if you're going to wreck your car over food at least make it something that doesn't taste like cardboard smeared with jelly!


I love you. I think it's great that you wen't all nerdy with the photos. You rock

Is that what you kids call it these days?

From JK's blog:
"Sorry honey! No more figgies while driving you!"

heeeheee, i've never had a problem with drinking and driving....

but *eating* and driving is another story....


Oh, and I call the *car* honey. Nothin' else was going on in the car. But now there are certian things I will forever call "figgies", thanks to you. LOL!!!

Oh Jillian! Bummer!
But great lighting
(mental note: OSP West II, Jillian does not drive...)

'bingle'?
Fraid I havent heard of that - except for 'Lara Bingle' who appears on the badly marketed 'where the bloody hell are you' australian tv tourism adverts. (actually lost tourism when plugged at the asian market!)

In which case, I wouldnt mind having a bingle in my car

that's great JK! thats totally something Id do on the side of the road with people staring! (Id probably get out my brolly to take a photo of my freshly amputated arm if the scenario arose!)

sings monty python... 'always look on the bright side of life...'

JD

oooooh I'm completely in love with Lara Bingle.



just thought I'd let you know...... she has great teeth.

Dear Silly Silly Fig Eater...

hahaha!
i just recently moved and found a stack of biz cards from WPPI. and apparently, i sat right next to you in a class or whatever... and you gave me your card. I started screaming, "omg! i met Jillian Kay?!"

and everyone in the house was like, "who?"

silly silly people.

anyway...
nice to meet you again!

So, the next time someone asks, "would you like a figgy?"

Your reply should be, "No, but thanks for asking!"

Jonathon...

Well that really takes the cake! You haven't HEARD of the term 'bingle'????
Hmmm...maybe it's not used as much in the city, but it's certainly very Aussie. Bendigo isn't exactly out in the sticks, but that's a term we use fairly frequently. (Not that I have LOTS of car accidents or anything...ha ha ha)
Check it out... when I looked up 'Aussie slang' on Google I found it on dozens of pages.

And even an actual definition...

bingle
noun

(Austral)
1. slang
A car-crash; a smash.
Etymology: 1950s; used in World War II slang to mean ‘a skirmish'.

I really like Aussie slang. I admit there was a time I found it embarrassing, but now I'm a bit older, I love it. It's bloody colourful mate!

Annie

those are fun! bummer you were in your little tussle, but glad you had some fun with the documentation!

after my accident in december, i totally pulled out the macro to get all the smashed glass...

julie

well, just as an update, the car is back and in perfect condition. my insurance bill...i'm still waiting to see what the rate hike will be next term.

when i shot with cris (studio vitae) she brought me a whole pack of fig newtons, and told me not to eat them in the car.....but i was hungry on the way home, and I ate them anyway. (well, not *all* of them, it was a lot of figgies.)

Yep! The car looked brand spankin' new! (Didn't you tell me you got it back just the day before?)

Miss Jillian, you PROMISED me you wouldn't eat them while driving! You said "just one" and I said "ok, but BEFORE you start driving!"

Glad you enjoyed them.

JD, this shocks me... we even say Bingle in Adelaide... and don't say thats because it's Adelaide!! haha but bingle is a very aussie word, maybe not in Sydney tho...

Nate, I was SO thinking the same thing....kindred spirits we are.
