(Sometimes I ramble. Click for more...)
The man (as in, MY man, not like... THE man) and I have a definite what's-mine-is-yours mentality when it comes to things like computers, books, furniture...new cameras...
...BROKEN cameras...
Yep, my camera ist kaputt. And he just got a really nice new camera with a good macro setting. And I really want to carry a camera around with me all day so that I can take pictures of the things I see that I'd like to share. Now, even with a what's-mine-is-yours attitude as our norm, I still don't think it'd be cool for me to say, "Hey, I'm going to tote your camera around with me, twentyfourseven, m'kay? That's all right, isn't it? If you wanted to take a picture, you could ask me for your camera and I could stand there, over you, like a nervous mother until you returned YOUR camera to ME. Sound good?" This idea would, of course, be delivered to him along with me waving my fist in his face menacingly.
Yeah. That'd work. (Not that he wouldn't probably let me have it half of the week and he could have it the other half or something totally logical and fair like that. He's so great.) So the question becomes, should I also go get a new camera to replace mine?
And this question brings up two more:
(1) Do I really have the money for something like that? (Especially since I just bought myself a new electronic toy that I have desperately been trying to not play with until this weekend -- I'll share soon.) And more importantly,
(2) How geeky is it going to be when I carry around the exact same camera he has? Because you can bet your sweet ass I want the same thing he's got.
Hm. Quite the conundrum.
While you chew on that, here's a picture I took with my broke-ass camera (a cheap Nikon digital camera that the man and I had started to refer to as "Niki," as in [every time the blasted thing froze and we missed a good shot]: "DAMMIT, NIKI, YOU SUCK!" and "Son of a -- ... NIIIIIKI!") of Mt. Hood:
Mmmm...lenticular-y.
