Trigger happy me

Yay, my new G7 camera had arrived and it's a beauty! I went trigger happy the past few days and the pictures said everything. Freakin' brilliant. So from now on, you'd be treated to its works starting with this one of me and my lovely muralled bedroom wall. With Natale a week away, I had been eating like a fat bastardo gorging my face on 4 consecutive days!
