A Very Angry Goal

Cleaning and Organizing
3. Get film that’s laid around for years developed

Yeah, that was a huge waste of money. Seriously... it turned out one of those rolls wasn't even mine. It belonged to my ex, from the choir tour I didn't go on. The second roll was 95% of either him or some other person(s) I didn't want pictures of. The third roll was--as expected--of Jordan's wedding. I might keep one picture out of the entire batch.

And there wasn't a single picture of my friend that I was hoping to have pictures of. Oh well, such is life.

Well, now I've got that goal out of the way, but I feel like I've been robbed. I could have put that money towards something useful... like the yarn sale they were having at Wal-Mart. *rolls eyes* Seriously, Lion Brand wool was $3.50 a skein, and Carron Simply Soft was $1.50. But where did my money go? Towards pictures of my ex and his "friends."

Mostly, I'm just pissed I had to see his face again, and in far more abundance that I was prepared for. Oh well, now the trash people can look at him. It's where he belongs, anyway.

Now to contact Jordan and see if he wants these pictures.

3. Get film that’s laid around for years developed

I'm thinking of doing this one day this week. I know I will be in town anyway for Apple Festival, so I may as well drop the film off... Haley's suggestion of contacting Jordan and his wife to see if they would like the pictures encourages me a bit. I'd rather they go to a good home than sit here at the house in a box somewhere.

I'll send them the wedding ones and any "undesirables" will mysteriously disappear.

2. Clean my car, inside and out

I still need to vacuum my car out. The giant shop vac, though, is in dire need of being emptied. After all the crap we cleaned up with it once we moved in... *shudders* I'll need Larry's help just to lift the thing.

Whiney Post Time!

One of my biggest things with making my 101 goals is knowing there are some goals that need to be met, but I just don't want to do/face them. Sometimes, I'm an emotional coward.

3. Get film that’s laid around for years developed

I've got about three disposable cameras that need developed... maybe more. However, I only have a vague idea what's on them. One I know is mostly of Jordan Crabtree's wedding... a wedding of two people I'd never met before that day, nor have I seen since. Yet I think I know people who would give said pictures a good home. *looks around* Any takers?

Another one (or two?) is from Choir Tour... Texas, I think? I don't remember. I'm sure I took some interesting pictures of stuff, though, especially while at the Alamo. Total disappointment, but we made do.

Mostly, I just don't want to see certain people (read: a certain someone) who were once part of my life in that time frame. It was bad enough getting rid of all reminders/photos/etc. once before. I'd rather not do it again. But alas, the garbage must be sorted to find the treasures hidden within.

I'm hoping that I have pictures of a different someone who was once in my life, however. If I do have any pictures, they'd be on one of those rolls of film. I don't remember if I took any or not, though. There's only one way to find out.

But yeah, this is my first Dreaded Goal I'm thinking of tackling. All things considered, it's not THAT bad. I just need to find a new way to look at this and stop focusing on the dread.

We shall see.
