I'm desensitized

So, another day, another dawn. On a day when I still have photos from home on my flash disk, and when the weather outside is chilly, what better way is there to spend one's time than to write on my blog, in a computer lab crammed with people escaping the rain and wind? I hereby award myself with the Trophy for the longest sentence on this blog to date.

These photos go back, back in the day, to Christmas 2004 and March 2003. The one on the top is lunch on Christmas day and the one underneath is me after my matric dance. Now... anyone who knows me will notice my Tourettes T-shirt. It was new then, so it only means I've had it for just over 3 years I think. Good quality.


I feel bad leaving you all with so little to read, so I'm off to find another word.

I'm back from the fields with my word.

The reduction or abolition of allergic sensitivity or reactions to a specific allergen. Also called antianaphylaxis.
The mitigation of an individual's emotional response to a distressing stimulus by repeated exposure to or imagination of that stimulus.

No, I'm not having some sort of crisis. I was injuring two birds with one pebble. I have to read up on it for my Health Psychology lecture so I thought I'd let you in on the definition at least. Shout if you want links to entire articles. I know they will be enjoyed by most people.
