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