sooooooo..literally 2 months and 7 days later, I have a manual focus camera. Not digital - film. It's wonderful. Because it's perfect...not hard to use at all. And I'm going to a workshop. Exciting? Yes. And I have a crap job, which gives me a little money at least. And I just used my dad's credit card to go out and buy make-up and film...damn...I hope he doesn't get his bill any time soon.

Right now, it's making me happy b/c I am finding refuge in the fact that I'll be able to buy film all summer if I keep Jobby-Crapola and if I stop buying useless items like waterice and makeup.

My karate teacher is sick. I'm sure he'll be fine, but still, I'm scared. I was thinking about how much he's been there for me, esp. when I have problems with my family. It's him and my friends that I turn to when I get frustrated and and sad. I was thinking about college and I was like...omfg...I won't be able to go to karate b/c I'll be in college.

Hmm. Maybe I could be a photojournalist...or maybe just a writer and I'll use my photos to get by. Perhaps I'll be like Aristotle or Sophocles or another Greek philosopher, only I'll be female, I won't really take baths in public and I'm rambling now aren't I?

Ah well, anyway, I just tried to take a pic of the full moon that's out tonight. Perhaps it will turn out to look nifty. *crosses fingers!*

Today is my last day as a friggin Junior. Hallelujah, praise the lord.

And praise photography, for the matter.

Rae's birthday is on Thursday.
That's R-A-C-H-A-E-L.
