I have received an additional present, late for Christmas or early for my birthday depending on how you look at it: a digital camera! At the Christmas family gatherings this year, my uncle (Dad's brother) has been telling us about his decision to buy a digital camera. He did a lot of research, found a really good deal, and apparently his descriptions so convinced my father that it was decided I should have one as well. I am truly astonished; it must have been some honey of a deal.

So, yes, I have new user pictures.

After using an Olympus OM-1 for so long, it bothers me that I cannot adjust the focus manually (and the auto-focus doesn't work in low light), I would prefer a non-LCD viewfinder, and I wish it were possible to set the aperture and shutter speed directly. It would also be nice if there were a left-handed model. (My right hand is not so agile and it cramps up occasionally.) But aside from that... whoa.

I second the motion!

Agreed. I can use it as a webcam too! (If I ever feel a compelling need for a webcam, which seems unlikely.)

Noo camera: oooh shiny!

Noo userpics: rowr, especially the default one.

The prospect of my possibly at some point having longer hair than you baffles me.

re: camera - see above

re: rowr - *blush*

re: baffling - It is, isn't it? Practically every relative who has seen my hair since October 31 has said, "It gets shorter every time I see it!"
