I Miss You, King Arthur

When I told my Uncle, my Mom and myself that I'd be fine with me not having my camera for four days1, I thought, surely, four days wasn't too long. There couldn't be that many instances of needing a camera, after all, I've gone a while not using my camera before, this is no different.

King Arthur, as I call my camera, apparently rules » my » life ». It was inevitable, when I first picked up a disposable camera at the tender age of…[missing memory]–basically I've always had a camera in my hand.

It's only been two days, and there's been almost ten instances of me going “oh, that is a camera moment!” before almost running to get it before I realised I didn't have it. It's for a great cause, granted, when I handed King Arthur and his charger over to my Uncle, but I miss him so much. I remember running into the fields of Wandering Trail with his cord wrapped around my wrist; I remember running around the cats, demanding they stay still and pitching the fit of the century when they wouldn't listen to me; I remember just earlier this week getting pissed that the lizards wouldn't stop running from me, or, if they did, they'd only stay for a moment, as if tormenting me; I even remember when the first night I got it trying out the zoom on my cinnamon apple candle while my sister checked her e-mail2 on my laptop3.

I…definitely need a new hobby.

  1. More like four and a half days. Technically.
  2. Which is codeword for checking her MySpace, Facebook, OK Cupid and looking up various crap that holds no importance to anyone but herself.
  3. …who died. Oh, didn't mention that? Well, Lexion is now officially deceased. RIP Lexion!
