drabble: refraction (Anneka/Ross)

She goes through a thousand moods a day; a veritable Crayola fun-pack of emotion, every hour a new colour that blends into the last with hardly a flicker and the next with no complaint.
The dull sleep-hazed yellow-green of morning becomes an angry yellow-orange if the coffee's held up, threatening to become orange-red if the grey calm of tobacco isn't there to smooth the edges on her jangled nerves; an exotic multilayered rainbow boredom cocktail cultivates itself around late morning as she stalks around the apartment trailing cigarette smoke and lace, deciding the mark today's feathers are to make on the landscape. Warm tan coloured coffee saturates the palette; the colours pick up speed, become more vibrant as the day goes on. Brilliant greens and glittering purples, warm fleeting pink mixed with the calm serenity of blue - her eyes, the quick smile over her fruit plate, her favorite shoes; the lipsticked kiss of her mouth, the white-gold ring she turns around and around on her finger as she thinks, the opal within carrying its own rainbow. A thousand colours for a hundred thousand moments, refracted through the prism to show themselves and then back again into a single uncarved beam of light.

Wow.
Cool userpic, too!

Thanks! :-) You find a lot of cool stuff searching Google Images for 'fractals'.

Ah. I assumed that you had made it. Is it a copyright free image? I wonder if google images indexes my photographs (which are under copyright). I think that I need to look into that...

I'm fairly sure it is ... at the very least I never claimed it was mine, anyway, so I'm pretty sure I'm clear with copyright law.

I know - I am sorry to get a bit uppity about this - as a tog, I am just a bit worried about my photos getting onto google images... ;-)

Oh no, no problem. I know there's a way to prevent google from indexing your pages ... I'm not sure /how/ - I know with Livejournal there's a box you can click on your settings page - [livejournal.com profile] tallin said that with a regular website there's something about a robots.txt file? I'm not entirely sure how it works, myself.

Ah. Cool. Thanks (and to [livejournal.com profile] tallin) for the info - I will put my sysadmin (hubby) on the job! ;-)
