If only I'd gone before the Caper, I would have known to challenge you to walk through an entire floor and start dancing every time the music changed.

(Unlike when I bought my camera, wayyyyyy back in the old days of 2005.)<BR/><BR/>So now that I know the difference between the types of editors and readers and whatnot, I am wondering how you get a job like that in the first place. How'd you get them? Does a writing degree help at all? (Hah.)

Actually, I think the whole family is this way. We bought a wide-screen TV a couple of years ago, and the bulb or whatever (I'm not a technophiliac) broke within a month. We had to replace it. We bought a digital camera about a year ago, and it wouldn't connect to the computer. We had to replace it. My dad bought a cellphone about five years ago and he lost it. We had to replace it. <BR/><BR/>We bought a laptop in December--in fact, I'm using it right now--and I'm waiting for it to break. We bought a video camera at the same time (Black Friday Best Buy sales. My dad went at 1:30 in the morning and there was already an enormous line.) and I'm also waiting for it to break, but in the meantime I'm having great fun recording myself sleep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-10361449355484617772007-04-22T06:50:00.000+03:302007-04-22T06:50:00.000+03:30OMG! i was just looking up the Harrods Caper b/c i...OMG! i was just looking up the Harrods Caper b/c idk and your myspace popped up and i was listining to my itunes and one song ended and then all of a sudden to songs started play, "Imogen Heap" and "MIKA" and i was like "well she must have imogen heap because shes from londen" and then i paused my music and i found out that you had MIKA on and not me..okay this was funny because i just added MIKA to my itunes today and i LOVE Grace Kelly and it just came outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20580332.post-34827186054205225922007-04-22T05:58:00.000+03:302007-04-22T05:58:00.000+03:30I think you should definitely buy the camera.

On a side note: I am not a witch but I am a friend of a person who wants to be a psycologist, and she says to tell you, that it is probably in your head. So your breaking things because you think you are going to break things.
