But seriously folks ...
Talking to a friend awhile back ...
----------
Years ago, trying to give me a reality check, Carol the tough minded Aries with a Scorpio moon bluntly put it to me thusly:
"It's NOT a relationship if youre not sleeping together."
Well, that's kind of simplistic, but definitely a good way to sort through the clutter.
After the last Le Girl breakup (3rd time a charm), I refocused and stopped worrying about dalliances with people I could not take seriously.
Of course, while doing that, I met someone. Naturally.
Very bad timing, for as good as it feels to deal with someone I can take seriously - I dont really have the time for distractions. Plus, Ive got issues.
So, we are friends.
Even so, I feel like a bad boyfriend. It's not fair to her.
I work and go to school and sleep. I dont have time for much of anything else.
Now, she is feeling like she cant take ME seriously.
How ironic.

"I love you dearly, but you know I cant take you seriously."
"Why not?"
"Heh. Because you would break my heart."
"So we cant sleep together, huh?"
"It would fuck up our friendship."
"Yeah, it would."
"Yup."

How to use the bathroom @ Virgin Megastore
For some reason, the men's instructions were a lot simpler, and covered with profane comments...

Delinquent never felt so good
For the first time since mid-august, I had a day of neither work or school.
What to do with myself...
Web site to set up? Page layout homework? (If I had to do that over again, I wouldnt do it online, I wouldve gone to class. Ah well. I may take it over again.). Maybe catch some of the ships still parked for Fleet Week?
*pshaah*, I wached TV and slept and posted pictures up on Flickr.
I felt like a delinquent playing hooky.
-----------
I had intended to wait until I finished 2 semesters before I started going to the production stages of my plans.
But now feels right.
My friends and supporters wanted me to get going a year, 2 years, 4 years ago. Every time Id demur saying "Im not ready yet. It doesnt feel right."
I may not be ready, but it feels right.

VIRGO: Your birthday's history. You've settled into the first year of the rest of your life, but -- if you've done your homework -- the after taste should not be "another day older and deeper in debt." Admit it, Jupiter in your money house is about as good as it gets. Now, before that fickle fellow moves on, take a giant stride to solidify your gains.

Virgin chocolate
Virgin chocolate
Ive eaten countless chocolate treats since I became a chocolate addict nigh on 12 years ago.
Multi-layered, multi-textured, multi-chocolated.
This, is a whole nother level than almost everything Ive eaten.
You CANNOT inhale this thing in a few bites. You CANNOT eat this thing in five minutes.
Even slow sex isnt this good.
I forget what theyre called.. but go ... now .. to the Virgin Megastore's Cafe.
Spend a lot of money on this.
It is worth it.
Moon over Frisco
Coit Tower
I have to admit, Im proud of this shot. Shooting handheld, no light, breathing *REAL* steady, lotta light scatter from passing traffic and street lamps. Whoo.
I did good.
I totally agree .. sorta.
- From October's Shutterbug Magazine
"I wasnt very technical to begin with, and the older I get, the less I care about the tools Im using. And I think my photography is getting better every year. Not because of the cameras I shoot with, but because of who I am and the connections I make I make with the world. Stick a camera in my hands, any camera, with a good lens, and I will come back with the shot."
I'd have to agree wih him - as some of my favorite shots were taken with a lowly consumer-oriented one-megapixel Kodak DC215, and if I had to - Id happily use that camera again. Still, although I agree that you dont need the latest, greatest camera to get good shots, I am very, very particular about the kind of camera I use - as are most of the good photographers i know, amateur and professional. They all have used a wide variety of cameras, and can get The Shot time after time no matter which one they use. Still - one and all, they arent about to use just any old camera for the job.
So yes, i agree. Ya dont need a zillion dollars in equipment to get good shots. But you do want a good one.
