I miss the company of someone to snuggle with in front of the TV, someone to talk to about all sorts and someone to take little weekend getaways with without huge planning. And someone to kiss.
I miss kissing even more than I miss sex at the moment!
Besides the fact that all I do is work, I am not the happiest person at the moment.
I feel bored with life and long for something interesting to come along.
Which stands to reason, that even if I do meet somebody now, I am not in the right frame of mind to contemplate anything long term.
I have always believed that you need to make yourself happy, not let somebody else make you happy.
So I need to do something to shake it up a bit...
I have decided on 2 things:
- Buy myself a fancy camera and take a photography class - this has been a dream of mine ever since I can remember, but the cost of the camera and my doubts of my advanced photographic abilities have always stopped me.
Seeing as I am single, I can be lucky that my expenses can be manipulated, ie: I can eat toast for dinner in order to afford expensive things like cameras.
Again, because I AM single, I need to get out there and meet new people. I can do this at photography class - Go SpeedDating - I have tried internet dating a few years back, so now I need to try something else. I have heard that there are a few events in my area.
My camera purchase has taken up the better part of 4 hours of my day and I have decided on a Canon SLR camera.
I am leaning towards the Canon EOS 600D (TI3i) because it has been getting the best reviews. It is slightly more than I wanted to spend and there it something in my budget - the Canon 1100D. (A third of the price less)
What do you camera fundies out there suggest? Surely if I am going to spend this much money on a camera I should go for the slightly better option?
I invest in a gadget and I keep it for as long as possible - generally until it breaks - so this is a long term investment for me.
Both cameras state that they are perfect for beginners, but the 600D claims that you can grow more into it as your skills develop whereas the 1100D claims you might need to upgrade.
Help me! I need some clarity!
