you watch the way I'm talkin / i'll watch the way you're walkin
Okay! I'm in a better mood than I have been lately, so no drama in this post :)
First off, today I purchased with the help of my mother a digital camera. I still have sixty bucks left over from the money I set aside for it, so that's going straight to my Otakon fund. I swear I'm not leaving this year without something! After three years, you think I would have bought something. (That hat didn't count since Patty paid for half of it, btw). But yes, I am very content with my life right now.
After my dad drove me to Target for the camera, we stopped at the mall to have dinner. It was actually nice; usually I dread going to dinner with one or both of my parents. My dad doesn't talk, my mom either doesn't or won't keep her mouth shut. I don't really mind, but bleh. Today, though, when my dad brought up the reason for buying a camera, I told him it was mainly for Otakon, and we started talking about it. Since it's something I like to talk about, I didn't shut up about it XD I mentioned to him the whole "video journal" of this year's trip and admitted that I know I'm going to be disappointed because it's not going to go my way. My dad told me I was like my mom in that aspect: I see something awesome and expect it to happen, and get all depressed when it doesn't. Ah well, at least I'm recognizing ahead of time that things probably aren't going to go well. But apparently I was in a good mood, because on the drive home my dad said, "you know, you're fun to be around when you're in a good mood." I took it as a compliment, and thus ended a good dinner excursion.
So yeah. Good mood! I'm waiting for my camera to charge and then I'm gonna take some test shots and videos. I want to see how much video I can take on this thing; I'd rather not run out of film in the middle of Saturday XD. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, though. I get all excited and envision the shit I'm going to record, but then instantly I tell myself that it's not going to happen. I'm just going to take everything in stride. This year is gonna rock! :)
