This was my weekend:
1. Got my taxes done Saturday morning.
2. Had lunch with the momster at coffee house.
3. Drove out of town to hang with Damein. Listened to him play guitar-slash-keyboard in his room.
4. Went to Denny's and had Boca [veg] Burger.
5. Went to Old Navy. Bought flip flops and tank tops.
6. Went to Pet Land and Circuit City...

"Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning to seem to know that he doth not." - Francis Bacon, Of Studies.

I liked choke more, but Invisible Monsters even more. Lullaby didn't quite build up the alternate reality imagined in my head that his other books do for me. Have 3 of the nextbooks on my shelf, unread. *summer holiday plan*
Hope the headaches get better.
Definately a good film to see if you get the chance.

I have so much to say that it might be, dare I say, overwhelming.
I'm going to start with Thursday night, the most bizarre night at work. Ever.
I think I'm going to cry just writing about this.
Miah quit.
Yes, everyone expected me, and still expects me, to cheer in glory. To be happy and relieved. I am neither. The night was already slightly...

Thanks for the lovely comment <3

I was on the other side of that situation a few months ago. It was time to leave a coffee shop I'd been at for years. Once I finally made the decision and put in my time I started having fever dreams- kids who worked there dying, Finding myself working at Denny's and my old coworkers coming in and laughing at me, even a Westside Story Gang battle against my coffee shop and a rival (my shop lost, I could have saved them had I still been around)
The fear goes both ways. Mr. Miah had his reasons but it's your job to keep the family together

Everyday I am grateful that I inherited great will power. I look in the mirror and try to imagine what my life would be like if I started using drugs when I became depressed in the 8th grade. I try to imagine what my peace of mind would be like after being unable to say no to sex not once but many times. I try...

Elegia as soundtrack
You seem seriously self-aware...that can be a double edge sword if you see things in yourself you don't like or approve of.
fwiw, once I embraced my arrogant asshole ways for what they were, they faded. Not completely, they are still part of who I am. But now the other qualities that I'd rather exude are more prominent, and it's nice to like me more every morning in the mirror. I've worked in mental health for many years-- almost always there are real live, dealable reasons that people develop "mood disorders" and there as many different ways to deal as there are people... what you describe *could* be a number of different things...a quick google could help put you at ease
gaahh another huge post--sorry

if the lens is a 52mm it should just screw onto the end. sometimes those little filters and adapter rings can be a pain in the ass to screw on if the threads on the filter isnt just right.
all the more modern canons take the ef lenses so it would have anything to do with your camera body. the problem lies with the lens and filters. do you know anyone with a slr camera?!? maybe someones parents or something.
what lens are you trying to put the thing on?
damn this has to be a really simple problem. its just hard trying to figure it out without seeing the camera and filters and stuff.

I love you for quoting Elton John, he is my secret musical love. I also find it very hard to imagine you could look ugly but I know the feeling sometimes everything feels off kilter, it will change.

We all need the truth, even if we don't want to hear it. And what Cambria said: you're always hard on yourself.
I am a happy young woman. For once, I exceeded my expectations of myself.
