I can't stop laughing

gemfyreMan this hunt is fun.
I just scanned my face!!
The scan actually turned out okay too, which is bizarre for my dumb scanner. It shows everything the photo needs to show.
I turned the monitor around so I could see it and stuck my head on the scanner bed and pressed the "preview" button. The preview comes up quickly. Still, standing with my legs bent to get to the level of the scanner is kinda uncomfortable and my legs were shaking.
I actually looked properly at the preview and saw it didn't look too bad. I realised that the actual saved image would be slightly different because I moved but oh well. I pressed the save button, gave it a name and stuck my head back down and pressed the save button again to start the scan proper. Nothing happened. Tried again... nothing. So I took a close look again and realised the pointer wasn't completely on the button. Move pointer, put face back on scanner, click.
It starts to scan. I realise my cheekbone is pressed rather uncomfortably against the scanner bed but think "if I move it'll go all blurry so I will just tolerate the discomfort until the scan is over." What was probably 2 minutes later I opened my eyes and glanced at the progress bar. It was less than 10% done!! I was like "ugh." but crouched there, staying as still as possible. Opened my eyes again not long after and checked again, still barely through it.
Then an idea struck me. Screw this discomfort, why don't I just use print screen on the previewed image! So I did, and noticed the actual scanner thingy had barely started on it's trek across the scanner bed, that would have taken AGES to finish scanning and I don't think I could have held still for so long.
The print screen trick worked fine, thank God. My hair colour shows up really well in the scan!!
And now I am all giddy.
I have baby ponies in a block of ice melting outside. I had this great artsy vision of perfectly clear ice and sunlight glinting through it with baby ponies suspended in it but noooo, the ice had to freeze white didn't it so you couldn't see a thing through the ice. So I had to take the photo of the ponies half protruding out of the ice on the other side.
They seem to have endured okay. Hopefully dad will light the fire tonight so I can line them up near it to dry out thoroughly. Half of them already have tail rust, I don't want it to get worse!!
