...on Thursday. Twice. And I didn't look before crossing the street again today. I've also been remarkably clumsly lately. Jeopardy = What is the sum of lack of nutrition + lack of sleep + workaholism?

So I decided I needed to take vitamins. I just got home, tore open the box of One A Day: Women's Active Mind & Body, and swallowed a huge orange pill. About to eat some cashews to go with it, but found the canister empty(damn mama's overactive stomach). I DID have some food not an hour ago so I hope that's still good.

BTW, my birthday is next week. But I feel kind of like bc I'm not really ready to be nineteen yet. I haven't even gotten used to being eighteen. Trying to stop time bc I don't have that many photos of being eighteen. I have nothing to show my eighteen year old daughter/granddaughter when they think I'm old and ugly. "I was not always that way!"

Remember how I wanted a camera? I have no choice but to buy the point-n-shoot ones if I want to make it before my birthday. Hopefully, a Nikon~

Die birthdays that just keep coming and passing me by!

I've always been interested in photography. And I've been wanting a camera for so long now. Epiphany: I have a job now, let's buy one.

I went to a photography class of sorts today. It had two segments: one about a little trick in Adobe Photoshop and the other about the Gigapan System. All around the room hung photos by senior photographers. I mean seniors in the sense of kohai and sempai, not that they aren't also actual seniors in age(grandpas) which they are. Anyway, after the one hour session, I went up to the teachers to ask this question: For an amateur photographer just starting out, would it be better to get a DSLR or a point-and-shoot? (DSLR = the cameras that have a mirror and many lenses to switch around for any wanted effect; e.g. Nikon D40 / point-and-shoot = your usual digital cameras with one lens and set zoom of 3x, 6x, etc.; e.g. Nikon CoolPix)

What I understood from the short answer I was given and the amused look constituted this: look at your budget. If you can spend $500 or more, get the DSLR. If not, get the point-and-shoot.

Problem is, I also have specific kinds of pictures I want to take. Things that I get a feeling that I like and is different, my style. But I also want to just buy a CoolPix and have a camera already! I have a co-worker who bought a CoolPix for $135 or so and the other guys were basically saying he could have gotten it cheaper. That's right up my alley. I don't think I can buy in the $500 range; as much as I would like to take the photos I want.

So the choice is between Nikon CoolPix or Nikon D40. Cost is a big deciding factor.

i REALLY want the D40...

@random: I don't remember what I said, but shush you!
@midmoon: What, you don't get my genius? Come on!
@muffy: That's what I'm talkin' about! *high-five* See? HE gets my genius.
@lostsoul13: Yeah, but now I'm stuck in the middle. Can't type the old way and I suck at the right way.
@lost: Yeah, our weather is pretty good right now. *cheshire cat grin*

@Stevie: Basically typing correctly = right and types: asdf and left hand types: jkl;

I just watched Masterpiece Theater for the first time in months! My first TV! And it wasn't even on my TV, but through the Masterpiece Theater website.

Kurt Wallanderrrrrrrrrr! I want to buy the books now, but I'm not made of money. I need clothes, too. And if I want to go to college, I better not squander my paychecks.

I've signed up for daily words from dictionary.com bc I've noticed that I know a lot of words but I'm having a hard time pulling 'em out of a hat. Yes, like a bunny.

That reminds me. Bombincate? To hum, buzz or drone? I gotta stop my boss from bombincating all the time. It's always the same melody.

Did I get the word right? Hmm...

Trying to typed properly like: asdfjkl; y'know. Bc I used to type fast (sometimes stil do) but not properly. So now I'm trying to teach myself to type fast and proper. But of course I have slowed down quite a bit and now when I type, I can't type my old quick way even if I wanted/have to.

Quesion for the older members: is Katrina, crz4manga or Kuri still around? What about...lazypuppy, crochetmama, etc.? Just bc I haven't been around.

Thanks in advance, random. ;) SHOUT OUT TO MUFFY. If anyone could possibly relay that. Thanks, random. AND AND...A BIG FAT BOX FOR RANDOM! Guess what's in it? LOVE~~~~! Okay, that was messed up.(<----to craziness) I'll be going now.

Toodles.

p.s. I haven't updated that box over there -------> chat, text, subscribe thingy bc it's linked to my phone and my phone's been out for oh, what two months? Capice? OK.

Welcome to the first ever session of Precedent Presents!

Precedent Presents to us...a picture of Aryans that may or may not still be true of the modern Aryan descendants.
Aryans had this sense of superiority and a need to find those who were inferior. You don't find Asians crossing waters to steal, enslave, and desecrate cultures/peoples/ways of life/other priceless valuables. On the other hand, China IS making that stupid dam that is going to ruin countless ancient archaeological artifacts and our own history. But that is in the name of progress, economical and social, and other important stuff. It still makes me sad for those lonely things to be buried in water and sand, etc and never to be found again.

I need a better word instead of 'session'...suggestions?

@gotenkz: I'm awesomely fine, thanks.
@ Muffy: Thank god it wasn't...>.>
@random: You have to use actual money for rides? How...inefficient.
@Nuttz: I don't know WHY the guy did that. No idea whatsoever.
@invis: If I had really needed it, sure, no problem. Thanks, strange guy! But that wasn't the case...

I don't know what to write. I was trying to type properly: asdfjkl; and all that but now my fingers are tired. Ah.

So...I had this dream last night. It was a really good dream. Actually a dream come true in a dream. Sigh. Too bad it wasn't real... It would have made me so happy... _{I hope it comes true.}
