sometimes bad days can be fruitful

sigh.
it's just one of those days when you just want to climb into a hole and never come out again. or those days when you want to eat and eat and eat until you feel better. or buy something so extragavant. or run for a long long long time until you've forgotten about everything momentarily.

i feel so small. and 17 again, back when i started my first job in the real world and went home and i cried (yes i'm a crybaby) and swore i'd never go back again but did. and now, it's been almost a year but there's no sign of progress and just a whole lot of effing up. and you're supposed to find some kind of life lesson from all this.

yes i know i will.

later on i'll look back and see that it wasn't such a big deal and that everything turned out fine anway. yes, these things give you backbone, they help you grow up, but dammit it's hard. no mother to hold your hand or anyone else to make you feel better. it's all really up to you and how you're going to deal with it.

so i had a good cry during lunch, ate fries and bought a Nikon D60. no it wasn't an impulse buy. but it did make me feel a little better.

Beautiful camera. I can't wait to see what amazing photos you take. Maybe when you see them you'll feel at least a little bit better. You should come down here for the day -- I'm not your mom but I'm someone's mom and I spent my day in the ER b/c of a playground accident. So there's lots of mac & cheese and honey grahams dipped in Nutella and other comfort food round these parts. Come join us! ;)

WOW! amazing purchase! I hope that cheered up your day! I can't wait to see your photos!

To answer your question, I use a Canon 40D as my digital camera.

I hope you feel better!!!
