We Will Give This a Try, Again

Once while in Boston I was all excited to be walking around the park on a great day taking pictures when suddenly my camera just locked up and froze. The camera was a gift and although it was one of the very few gifts from the ex that I actually enjoyed - I had no sentimental attachment to it, however - it was an awesome camera. I loved the size and quality and everything was just right about it. When I returned home I paid to have it fixed and they did such a good job and so quickly it was as good as new. Then I lost it. I was bummed yet again so I went on ebay and bought another of the same exact model - which they no longer sell in stores as they change models like every 6 months. My new ebay camera was a dream, just like my old repaired and lost one.

Well a couple of weeks ago I broke my ebay camera. I carry it with me everywhere, as you know, and I should use the case I have for it but instead just put it in my pocket so I cracked the screen. Disappointed all over again, I returned to ebay and now a 3rd camera of the same exact model is on it's way to me from a nice man in Texas. I keep thinking about this story because I am truly insane! I need to get over this and if I break or lose my camera now I just have to get a new one - a brand new one. I am sure the models out now are great and I would love a new one just as much but I dunno why I am like this. Think about it - my car was totaled so I got a new one of the same exact kind. I lost my bluetooth so I bought another of the same exact one (and of course I then found my lost one). My phone broke so I got the second version of the same one I had. When something is good, I like holding on to it.

Sure I go out and have new experiences all the time but truly I just love the comfort of the familiar. I do not see this as a bad thing as it does not hinder me from trying new things but I am soooo a creature of habit. Ok folks this is the very last of this same exact model phone - I promise, mabye lol.
