I keep dreaming that one of these days my dad will call me up and say, "Hey, guess what I just bought for you?" and I'll ask, "What, dad?" And he'll be like, "That uber cool SLR you wanted a few days ago!" (because the one I want is always changing) and I'll be like "OMG awesome dad you're the best!"

Not gonna happen.

Unfortunately, it's extremely hard to do photography (not to mention upload photos) without a good camera (I consider nothing less than an SLR good lol.) so I'm kind of stuck here. I really want to go out and get myself a camera, or even a job so I can get a camera sooner, but no one will hire me and I don't have the $500-$1000 needed for both the body, lens, AND telephoto lens.

*Sigh.*

Too bad we can't grow money (or SLRs) on trees! I guess I'll have to wait--Christmas and my birthday (Dec. 31) are right next to each other so maybe that Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi (or some such) will be a joint present from D and G (grandpa)... Maybe. We can hope.

I can promise though that (mark this is my New Year's Resolution) as soon as I get an SLR and Photo Shop on this machine I'll be popping out photos like a couple of mice reproducing. ^^
