Follow-up

Dec 28, 2009 22:49




I'm in my little niche right now.  I'm sitting in my awkward position.  My head is resting on me knee and my head is titled to the side awkwardly.  But I love it.  I can never sit like a normal person.

I've had a couple of drinks, so we'll see where this goes.
My mom had a follow up appointment for her mammogram.  And now they're sending her off to have a biopsy.  The doctor told her that she had many lumps, but there are two major masses in both of her breasts that need to be examined.  My grandmother and aunt both had breast cancer, so I've assumed that it is inevitable that my mom will be diagnosed with it too.  I know that sounds awful.  However, with my mother being an alcoholic and a diabetic, I feel like she's had the odds against her.  Of course, nothing is official.  The thing is, I do not know exactly what's going on.  I'm the kind of person when telling you a story I will tell you how the chicken crossed the road, what he was wearing, what he was thinking, what he had ate the night before, what he had thought had happened, what others saw and how quickly he crossed the road.  My mom is a "The chicken crossed the road" person.  It's too brief to even be called succinct.  I just hate how the doctors will not say anything definitive.  I don't blame them.  I just want to know.

Anyways,  I dropped my first roll of film for my holga at the camera store.  I'm so excited.  However, I forsee many many problems with this roll of film.  First, I think I exposed it to too much light when loading it into the camera.  Second, I skipped the first exposure on accident because I'm a dipshit and wasn't paying attention.  Third, I skipped another exposure because I was under the influence of something really good.  And Forth, I think I forgot to take the lens cap off for a few of the pictures.  Oh well... this is a learning process, right?  I mean, that's why I bought my holga.  It's the first time in a long time I felt like I have learned something.  I'm really excited to pick up my film tomorrow.  I had everything copied to a disc, so I will definitely post some pictures.

Speaking of pictures... here are some of Cameron Village (A nice, ritzy, overpriced shopping plaza) at night.
