It was like Christmas morning. You wake up, check your stocking and - it's exactly what you thought you'd get. The punchline is, what you expected to get and what you wanted were -very- different things.

ah, jacu...[*insert ginormous hug and pirate band aid*] this is when you take what you were given[numbers on a virtual piece of paper] and fold it into what it should have been.e.g.a pirate hat. For what is a hat if not a ship? (if you put it on water and squint your eyes a lot it kinda looks like an oddly shaped vessel-it floats, ok?!). A ship is freedom, freedom to sail away and get on with the rest of your life.[*hey I know it hurts, but you are ninja-you let the hurt do its worse and then you strike back with lightening speed and deadly strength*] [*thank you for dropping by today and I will proceed to capture on film my new dwelling space*]p.s. mum said you're welcome anytime to drop by and she will guide you through the D80 and associated lenses:)p.p.s.the D80 was in the cupboard all along-that's right, only 2 steps away from us
ReplyDelete... thankies muchly, scribbles. :^) *hippomungous hug received and very much appreciated*
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right - I am ninja, and ninja conquer all that is thrown in their path!! With style and gusto, at that!! (no, that's more a pirate, but oh well.)
But yeah, I have to admit it hurt a little - partially because I felt that I let mum down - to which she reassures me that she's proud of me no matter, but you can tell she feels responsible in some way - that at the time, I didn't really have the chance to do as well as I might have liked. So, I wish I'd done better for mum's sake, and also for my own pride's sake.
But onward and upward, as you say. I can still get into heaps of uni courses if I so choose. In the end, my path has merely taken a slightly unplanned detour, but I do love unplanned detours. ;^)
