Omg, hahahahahahahahahaha.
I’m working at the reference desk of the library this afternoon, and a man in his seniors just came in and got all quiz show on me, trying to figure out the author and name of a book. He doesn’t know what it’s about, but he figures it must be good because he’s heard it’s quite popular.
His first clues:
- It’s by some woman author
- She’s been on the bestseller’s list for quite some time
(Shit, this could be literally 50% of the books in the building)
- Oh um, her books have the names of colours in the titles or something, it’s a series, about 5 or 6 of them (edit: his info wasn’t strictly correct but it gave me some clues)
(Fruitless google searching)
- There uh, shades or something…
(And then it clicks)
“Hmm, by any chance was it Fifty Shades of Grey you were looking for?”
………………….it was.
Should I buy this camera?
EOS Rebel T3i with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Kit
Pros:
- I’ve been meaning to buy a DSLR for several years
- I will actually start doing photography again if I have a digital cam (I can’t process my own film for my other camera in my current town)
- I’m tentatively planning to go to Europe for fall 2014 (surprise! excuse my lack of formal announcement and pls let me sleep on your floor when the time comes) and I’ll definitely need a camera by then, preferably a good one
- It’s easy to use and I’m used to Canon cameras
- It’s $100 off right now
- It comes with 2 lenses (saving another $250) and free shipping
Cons:
- Owning a Canon Rebel would make me feel slightly like an amateur photography faggot (see Louis CK definition of faggot, not a homophobic slur)
- Spending $735.34 that I could put off spending
Wow, I never realize how much I miss things until I have them again. And then I can’t comprehend how I got by without them. So this is a note to everyone I love but haven’t spoken to in a while: If I seem distant, it’s not a purposeful action, and I’d probably be overwhelmingly happy to speak to you. So please, don’t be shy.
And to all my tumblr friends, forgive me for always forgetting how wonderful you all are every time I go on an internet hiatus. I really feel such a connection and friendship with many of you, and I admire how open and honest people can be with one another. I love you all.
