Argh! I'm trying to do some work for uni but im printing pics through my parents computer as its the one hooked up to the printer (dont want to install drivers and such for mine right now) and its taking fucking forever, they so blatantly need a fucking new pc but they won't actually buy one until this one actually destroys itself in a small fire (or is in some other way totally fucked) as it is, we don't run the internet on the pc because it slows it down, when we switch it on its best to go and make a cup of tea while it all starts working, printing out three pages of contact sheets is taking like twenty freaking minutes. I've had more responsive stone circles! this cunting bollocks of an affair is completely down to my dad who wont buy anything new if the old one can be mended with string, paperclips or in this case stripping everything off the machine and reinstalling windows, which we have done about five times already. Dad! its ok, make do and mend is over, its totally ok to, you know, BUY STUFF! Argh.
Hmm, ok, rant over.
Other than my frustration with the PC things are going ok, im all angsty about my uni work, Im not really sure why, I don't angst about anything else in my life to any great extent (anymore) but somehow when it comes to uni im a ball of stress. I've tried like, getting help for it and stuff but either I haven't persevered enough or its just too much of an issue, or, something. Right now im more interested in finishing the degree so I have a meeting with my tutor tomorrow. Angsty I may be but im not dumb enough (I hope) to let it ruin 4 years work. So, im just going to be a total nightmare for my family for the next three months as I lean ridiculously on their support, (luckily we're a pretty close bunch) and then I will never, ever, go to school again. (or at least, not for a very very long time) Yick, sorry, im just having a wee vent today.
So, doom and/or gloom dispensed with, Manchester was awesome, had a great road trip there and back too. and erm, today it did not rain and, I have haribo. Anyways, the printer is finally done so back to work!
Oh, I just remembered what I was happy about today, polaroids, I love polaroids, especially in a world where images are reproduced billions of times all over the world here is this tactile sentimental little thing that only happened once and can only really be produced once in that form, they just bring so much joy, even the fact of an instant print straight from the camera still has such a charm even though I've used it plenty.
Anyways, Later

My mum ended up giving me a Polaroid camera that she never uses. I forget the model, but I really need to pick some film up before it's all gone. It's just so bloody expensive.

You're right though. It's a shame that it's being chucked. It has a charm about them that regular photos do not. I'm still a little bummed that most people use digital cameras now adays.
