DePhoMo 5 – Shiny!

 Dear Diary;

I love shiny things! If you didn’t already know that, you do now. I really enjoy photograhing things that have a little bit of a sparkle to them. I can get that starburst just right and they become some of my favourite photos. Great stuff. I had to take two pictures because I couldn’t just settle for one. 🙂

So in other, non-dephomo news, I still haven’t heard back from E about her pictures. I emailed her right after I did them and I sent her some contact sheets of her pictures and asked her to look them over and tell me what she liked and didn’t like. I never heard back. Then a while ago I emailed her again just asking if she’d had a chance to look them over- I also asked her to email me her address because I need a place to actually send the pictures. I never heard anything back from that either. Earlier this week I decided that I should send another message- but I went with facebook this time since email seems to be getting me nowhere. I still haven’t heard anything from that message and to be perfectly honest, I’m starting to wonder if I’ll ever hear anything from them.

It makes me a little concerned that they don’t want their pictures. Did they look at the samples I sent and decide they hated them? Did they decide that they didn’t like me as a photographer and now they want to change their mind about me doing the wedding? Did she read my diary and the things I said about how I felt about her and think it was too much?

I know that she’s read this diary before- years ago. I really don’t think she even remembers that I have this, but if she does and she decided to check it out… that would suck. I should’ve put those entries on private. Damn.

The thing is, I don’t even really have those feelings anymore. I mean, I still like her a lot and that won’t just go away, but being away from her for a little while makes it much easier to deal with. I can do this!

Tonight is the Santa Claus parade in town. We go every year- we meet at my grandparents house with everyone else and eat snacks and walk down to watch the parade of lights. This year- mom says she’s not going, which is a real bummer! I mean, way to break a tradition mother. I might go as long as people are back with vehicles so I can get into town.

Speaking of vehicles- my damn car is being fixed. I don’t know whether to be happy about that or not. I’d really like to see that piece of shit car just DIE already but nooooo, somehow it keeps coming back to life. It’s not going to last much longer.. it can’t! There’s still a hole in the top of the gas tank that can’t be fixed, so eventually it WILL die. I get it back on Monday or Tuesday.

It turns out that I am, in fact, applying at Home Hardware. My dad took it upon himself to go into the store and talk to his hunting buddy about it. He told me to use him as a reference because he’s a manager there and there’s a better chance I can get the job (that pays about $5 less then the other job I have an interview for, I should mention). The only plus (if you can even call it that) is that it’s closer to home so I don’t have to worry about driving to O-town everyday. Of course, that means I have to live at home even longer.

We’ll see how it all plays out I guess.
