Little by little I am adding photos that are some of my favorite pieces.
This one is probably my most popular on DeviantArt, right now it's at 230 favorites. I mention this because sometimes people get so caught up in the technicality of photography and nothing that wasn't taken on a pro camera isn't good enough for them.
This was taken two days before my SLR came, with my little compact Olympus SP-350. 8 megapixels sounds like nothing, now, but it was a wonderful tool and an excellent manual teacher.


An old flirt emailed me this morning:

Of course I was right. You wanted her so much, for so long, then when you had her, you didn't want her. You have no sense of being happy once you have achieved your goal. Which is good, except when it comes to women, because you are a damn lustful flirt.

My goal is to have sex, and as long as I'm getting it the minimal each week I'm good.

You didn't answer my question, or was that because you have no intention of sleeping w/ me?

I have absolutely no intention of sleeping with you, nor will I ever.

In that one sentence you hurt me in ways you will never know.



And I don't care.
When I was younger, he and I had a dalliance of sorts, which left me completely confused and depressed. For months and months I couldn't get over him, I was convinced I was in love with him. When I finally told him, he didn't give one damn.
I don't even feel as if I have exacted some sort of revenge with my one response. I'm just not feeding this desire to use me anymore as his fallback.
I always used him for some sort of egoboost, so I don't feel any sort of pain at all of this, I just have no desire to let him think I want him. I'm done. I have no more use for him, and that he got hurt is none of my concern. He'll get over it. If all he wants is sex. He'll get over it. Otherwise he's in for a bit of much needed self loathing and soul searching.
