I bought myself that thing I wanted, you know, that thing that cost more than the birth of my child, the dog, and everything I ever purchased for myself ever all put together.

Say hello to my new love, Mr. Canon Eos 30D. We kiss. Often.

I never really bought anything big for myself before. (This is the part where you gag and mutter something about spoiled brats and Daddy's girls, which isn't entirely true... but isn't entirely wrong, either. I was a very, very lucky kid, end of story.) Seriously, though, this is really enormous for me - it's my first Me Thing in quite a while, and it's the first step to learning to take really, really good pictures... which is the first step to a really, really fun job, one that I got to choose for myself instead of walking into because I was desperate. Now all I need to do is practice, and get a portfolio, and about $5000 more equipment, and talk people into hiring me, and pretend I know what I'm doing, and file taxes as an independent contractor, and charge a lot, and learn where to make prints, and...

Well. Ahem. Better get started.

I'm so excited, you guys.
