Ok I'm sorry I haven't written in a while. I know ObeyPabst has been just worried sick. Yes that was a joke, because I know no one even noticed that I was gone.

Judging by the christmas tree at the mall that has been up since early October it looks like the holidays are coming up. Woo fucking hoo. Yes I am one of those people who HATE the holidays. Not because I hate my family and not because I don't like get stuff. It's just...I hate what people turn into around the holidays.

But since none of you believe that...here's what I want for christmas:



I want to get back in photography, though I have to admit I'm a little hesitant. I don't really feel I know enough. I want to learn but I don't want to just wander around teaching myself nor do I want to subject myself to another basic photography class where they explain the rule of thirds, give you some crappy 35mm, and pretend that your pictures are good.

I guess I was kind of inspired by the Photoshop teacher I had. She didn't teach me basic photoshop by holding my hand and holding me to a lower standard. She held me to a professional level standard but taught me to work to that standard.

Oh yeah on that note I want a real (read: legit) copy of Photoshop CS3. Which really shouldn't be all that hard since I am a student and I do qualify for a education discount.

I'm also hesitant to get back into photography since it's an expensive hobby and I'm not really looking to go into it as a profession, though life has been throwing me curve balls.

Comments anyone?
