wow have things turned shitty

I’m getting ready for the UCLA game and I pick up my camera bag and hear jingles. No really, nothing should be jingling in there. So I take off my lens cap to find this.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any shittier.

First I was relieved, it’s just the filter. So I go to the camera store and shell out $70 for a new filter only to find that the filter glass has seeped into the lens and now I have to take it to Nikon to have the entire thing dismantled and it’s going to cost a few hundred bucks and baseball is about to start and it better be back by then other wise I will seriously lose it.

This comes only two days after I spent puking my guts out from that goddamn vegan food poison and six days after my two year relationship ended suddenly and unexpectedly.

Life is shit.

So now I’m down a boyfriend, a lens, and a whole lot of stomach acid. Haven’t been able to get to the gym because I don’t have the strength to do much of anything, so mostly I’ve been sitting around being an utter and complete bitch to everyone who crosses my path. I was on the warpath last night at work. There were bodies strewn around behind me as I bitched at people, and it isn’t slowing down.

I am hoping this will spark my creative side as I have been extremely uninspired lately. Otherwise it’s just going to lead to a lot of self-pity shopping. I should set up a PayPal account.

  1. Oh sweetie. I’m so sorry. If I lived near you I’d bring you a home-cooked meal and an extravagant dessert.

    You can console yourself that you have a lot of readers that care about you.

  4. Sorry to hear about the lens. I take it you did not have a camera at the UCLA game. If you want some photos of the game, please e-mail me and I will send you my shots.

  6. […] Besides all of the other shit that’s been going on, now I hurt my knee which is bothering me when I walk or sit or lie down. And we’re doing Angie on Saturday and I had a goal of breaking 18 minutes and now it hurts to squat. Fuck. […]

  7. Your blog makes it clear that you are an utterly disgusting piece of shit and you deserve much, much worse than this.
