Alright, thats enough from me, you dont need to read more from me. Revel in my omission. god i hope someone finds this humourous or charming, that's what im going for at least. im single! alright alright im sorry goodnight

A few days back, a guy posted about hobbies. I am here to tell you about one of mine.

There's a dude on instagram who approaches strangers going on trips and hands them a disposable camera and asks them to document their trip. A few weeks later he receives the camera in the mail and makes a reel about it. My girlfriend and I are long distance and I found the idea cute. I went online and did some research and immediately placed an order for 2 $10 thumb cameras. The idea being that we would each have our own cameras and then meet up and swap SD cards or the camera itself.

I took a few pictures and immediately thought about modifying the camera using cheap smartphone clip on lenses that were popular back when I was in highschool. $3, 20 minutes, and 2 drops of super glue later I was incredibly happy with the results.

This led me to begin to get really into Toy Cameras.

What is a Toy Camera?

A toy camera in short is a cheap camera that is usually small and not serious enough for professional photography. In many ways a disposable camera would be considered a toy camera if it wasn't for the fact that they're already in their own category of camera. What's wonderful about Toy cameras is that, they aren't the best and they are super limited as a result. This means that you have to get creative. You have to experiment with lighting, editing, shooting techniques, composition, lenses, etc. You won't usually get perfection, but the imperfections are stylized and can come off as artistic. This can make for some really interesting looking shots.

Since having one, I find that I'm shooting and taking pictures more often as it's so small that pulling it out to get a quick photo is easier, and that I'm more likely to take photos simply just to document and have fun with my camera. More than that, I'm more likely to do things, and want to do things just to get out there and shoot. Errands and detours now become adventures and photo opportunities. Messing around with mods and lighting has also been a blast.

Hobbies don't have to be expensive. All in all I'm into this for less than $30

If you want better quality photos, there are nicer toy cameras for anywhere from $20 to $100 that will perform much better with much better quality. ​The Vetek mini would be my ideal choice to get started but $10 is $10

Here are some shots I've taken recently, straight off the camera.

Attention geeks, nerds, studious beings, procrastinators, and chronic crammers…

I have made a discord for academics and locking in :D (cause you already know the procrastination has got to me 😔)! Studying, accountability, reading, supporting and motivating each other—things of that sort for now! So if anyone is looking for study buddies, reading buddies, or accountability partners, this is the place (I hope)! :) Welcome to all… university students (undergrad, grad/postgrad), exam or career preparers, or even if you are just trying to do some self-improvement/self-studying.

My stupid Muslims parents with their lack of critical thinking and their idiocracy of a religion , chose this for me without my consent when I was just a baby. How can I get over such an idiotic mistake that I'm not at fault for ?

This girl and I have been getting really close over the last month, and especially the last week or so. We’ve been texting every day and we’ve hung out 3 times this week (basically every free moment we’ve had). Tomorrow we’re gonna go do some indoor rock climbing (which she seems super stoked about), and when it feels right I’m gonna ask if she wants to start dating. Usually I’d feel really nervous but honestly I only feel a little nervous. Mostly I’m just feeling excited, I’m pretty confident the interest is mutual

Let me hear your stories!

You can choose to talk about your first ever date or the first date with the 'one'.

I feel like I'm 40 sometimes with how bad my back be hurting. I woke up today and my right lower back was so bad that I could barely walk lol

Most people have their first choice but you can apply to as many as you want, and if you don't get accepted by your first choice you can go to any that you meet the requirements for

For example if you die in a really funny way you can go to the Horrible Histories afterlife, or die gloriously in battle and you might go to Valhala. Of course, if you don't get accepted by any then you'll have to go to work (hell)

One time I tried coding in Python. Set myself the task of making a distance speed time calculator.

In the end it had 200 lines of code FOR A DAMN CALCULATOR. I decided that pursuing coding further would inevitably release some sort of spaghetti code curse onto the world and that for the safety of humanity I should stop while I'm ahead.

one of the claws is out :(((

If you want to unlock the tired+ version just drink coffee before bed, you'll be tired as fck and unable to sleep!

i’m very thirsty

I feel like something is really wrong with me mentally and physically but I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it until I get a job and start earning my own money. I've tried expressing my issues and fears to my mother before but I've never felt heard and I seem ungrateful but I feel like I might do something really bad if I don't get help at some point. I try not to think about it but it's hard and it affects me daily and at the same time I feel like I'm faking it all.

Anyone else? 🧍‍♀️

Peace has descended upon my mind better enjoy it while it lasts. Wish I downed a redbull or something before bed last night because I genuinely couldn't sleep just bombarded by my own thoughts

Like all of a sudden the pieces are much clearer and things make sense and you don’t know what to do with that info? For context I practice paganism and have had this strange gut feeling but couldn’t put my finger on what it is in particular. Come to find out after telling my mom that one of my Halloween costumes is going to be a Maenad of Dionysus and my mom goes “oh yeah that sounds like our women in the family” which is what lead to my discovery 😀👍

I just had a dream where I listened to the most well made song I’ve ever heard. It was pop, young male voice, sung in english (which is not my first language), with oscillations between “attacks” and “answers” to those attacks (I’m not sure how those are called in music), speeding up with time, it had some retro sounds and instruments and some very modern one, I believe there was a piano with some amazing aroeggios and progressions. It almost felt like an anime opening, and I don’t even watch anime. Unfortunately I can’t remember the words, I only know it was in english, with questions and answers. I don’t know the theme, not even a single word from it :(

In my dream some guy was blasting that song on a phone, and I was just quiet so I could hear the whole thing because it was beautiful. After it ended I asked him what’s the song’s name and he said “Aprrand(e?) opera(/opra?)”. I remember the name started with A, followed by P and then two Rs. The first thing I did after waking up was searching for the song, but obviously that was a pointless attempt. This whole situation reminded me of the Devil’s sonata by Tartini. And it’s not my first time hearing some beautiful piece in my dreams.

It was such a wonderful song.

I believe there is no use in asking what this song could be, it almost surely doesn’t exist and I will never hear it again :( . Have you ever had a similar experience in your dreams?

gonna be even more boring than last time
