Welcome to Gaia! ::

I have no sense and I'm going to be tired and miserable tomorrow.

So I've been looking into buying a digital camera for a while and don't really have any clue what to get. I'd like to go to a store where I could play around with some, test the weight and stuff, but I don't know where I would find one around here. I've only ever seen cameras on display at Walmart, and they're always busted. So I've been looking around Amazon. Decided I want a Cannon, but still not sure which model. I mean... I wanted either a purple or blue camera that is small and has good ISO. And the one I had kinda settled on only came in black or pink. But I found a purple one that is slightly larger and has much better optical zoom, but I don't know how the extra size/weight will really affect me if I can't see it...

So. I made the stupid mistake of asking my dad if he knew anything about digital cameras. He's the only person in my family that is even moderately tech-savvy and I thought he could give me advice. Or offer to let me borrow one of his (he has, like, three) for this class project I kind of need a digital camera for until I get the chance to go to the camera store I know that is a bit of a drive and try things out.

No advice. No borrowed camera. He went online and bought me one. And paid for rush delivery. Now I'm upset because I wanted to pick it out and I really don't want him spending money on something like that when I don't think he even bought what I would have wanted. And my mom is upset because it was supposed to be my birthday present from her (and yes, that was 6 months ago, but, like I said, I have no idea where to go around here to test them out).

I really should know better than to say anything about needing something to my dad by now, but dammit. I TOLD him I'd been doing research and was trying to decide between two different models - I didn't tell him which and I sincerely doubt that is what he picked. And I emphasized that my mom wanted to buy it and was already annoyed I was taking so long picking one. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that last part - it's probably why he did buy one. He always did have to try to outdo her on holidays.

Agh. I just can't stand it. I know there isn't jack s**t I can do about how frivolous he is with money, but I'd at least not like to feel like I'm contributing to it.

*eyeroll* And this girl wonders why people dislike talking to her...stop whining all over Facebook about how much you wish it was your wedding day and just congratulate the girl whose wedding day it IS. Or hey, just don't say anything. Please.



I want this coat SO BAD but I have lots of coats/jackets already and it doesn't get that cold here. =(

Egh... I really wish I'd bought Gaia-sama back when it was 2 mil, but I couldn't wrap my head around paying that much for one pose and I figured I'd lose interest and/or the price would drop. But I still want those lips and the price has quadrupled. May be time to bust out an old letter.

Yeah I'm having all kinds of regrets about not buying things that were like 300k that are now 2m, things like that. Now when I see an item I want, if it's in the <500k range and I think I want it, I just buy it. If it never goes up, fine, but then I'm set if it does rise into the millions. =w=;

I just realized that with the way a couple of my letters have inflated and the way the rose corsage has failed to (maybe due to limited rerelease in RIGs), I might be able to afford one. And there are three for sale now. (Edit: Make that one. Godamned necros.)

But... it doesn't look as impressive as I remember. It layers under my current hair and I don't know if I'd actually use it. I think at this point I am wanting it merely out of habit. So would getting one after seven years still be awesome because of that habit or will I regret it when it goes with nothing?

And that it seems more focused to provided items for the Cash shop than regular items just for the greed.

That's the beauty of forgotten yesterday's news, I guess. stressed
