Hello world!

Hey folks. That was taken, in fact, with a borrowed camera, but it is also the camera that most pictures will be taken with (my camera is a hand me down point-and-shoot that was old when it was first bought... in 2001!).

Today was fairly interesting, as was yesterday which I'll cover next paragraph or so. Since I had today off I was mostly reading (Naruto fan fiction, but it's better written than the Harry Potter series) and playing Super Mario World. Then, at random, I decided to grab my mom's camera and take a picture of a candle. In fact, the first photo was on a Starbucks napkin folded so it only showed the recycled logo and 'Made in the Netherlands'. The flame, sadly, was too low, so I ripped off a corner of the napkin and rolled it up, and in my attempts to blow the flame out of the way slightly so I could dip the cylinder of napkin in the wax the candle was blown out. The reason for the napkin stuff, by the way, was because ripping off a bit of paper and dunking it in the wax then sticking it in fire will increase the fire's height significantly (it works well :D). After requesting my mother's lighter I remembered that hitting the gas button over a flame makes it go 'wooosh' and go all bright & crap. To be honest I was first trying to get a crapload of butane floating around the candle so it would make a fireball but that didn't work (stupid physicists being right all the damn time :/). I also do not have the reflexes to hit the shutter at the same time as the gas button on the lighter so I recruited my mother to set it on burst mode. bla bla bla photoshop bla bla bla blip and here we are.

Yesterday was much the same, sans blip, but I did go hang out with a friend at [the park]. She is soooo confusing: she has been complaining about her boyfriend since like 2 weeks after she got him (this was some 2-3 months ago, understand). Every time she complains about how his being so depressed is making her depressed and insomniac, etc., I tell her: "Make him stop being depressed or dump him if it's THAT bad" and every time she says "I don't even know why he's depressed because he 'can't put it into words'" and she won't break up with him because "it's complicated" (IE she doesn't f***ing know herself). So yesterday night (i hate relative terms: Saturday the 3rd) she says she decided she's gonna break up with him in May because she doesn't want to do it too close to her birthday (February) and she doesn't want to do it to close to his birthday either (I think March or April). Then, jokingly (presumably it's probably obvious I have a crush on her), she says she's doing it in May so she doesn't need to get me a birthday present. Since then I've been trying to figure out if she was giving me a hint or just joking around (looking back she seemed kind of... embarrassed sort of she said that?)

So, blippers, want to help an angsty teen in his romance issues? There's a comment button :D
