Not involved.

I remember someone a while back posted something about how they mainly updated when they needed to vent and whine and usually the happy moments were left unrecorded in their journal. I have to say that I find myself in the same situation, on here and mainly on twitter. If I were to only go by what I update, one might think that I was the most depressed and weak cry baby in the world. Take this morning for example, my twitter updates include a whine about my arms feeling like lead at the pool, a rant about a new IT "security" policy and then there was the little flail about the fact that what I had considered a simple cold turned out to be allergies. In all of that ranting and whining I rarely include the good parts such as the fact that I swam faster than ever before this morning or the fact that now at least I know why I was waking up with a swollen face and could barely open my eyes due to eyelid swelling. It's not all dark and gloomy and terrible, there are tons of great moments but usually I love to savour them and absolutely feel no need to tell everyone all about them! Yes, I'm selfish and don't want to spread the joy of happy things. But rants, boy oh boy, everyone needs to hear those, and everyone should commiserate with me! And so yes, back to whining. It seems that my tendency to develop seasonal allergies when in Finland has now spread to autumn. To be honest I didn't even know that one could get seasonal allergies in autumn, I mean where are the flowers? Where are the blooming trees? It turns out that it's all in the weeds and in the mould and with all the rain we've had, weeds and mould are plentiful. After all this rather unhappy yapping, some more photos from that first Smena roll, I quite like how the fact that I kept on failing on getting a proper focus on the parts I wanted ended up creating a great look.

Ah yea, I notice I use facebook to rant too lol. But it's okay, we need a place to vent our frustration. Also I think social media has turned our private lives into the public realm.

Alleriges are so annoying, I am allergic to dust and pretty much nature. It is fall now in Canada, so with all the leaves falling, my allergies are non-stop. T_T

I've dealt with a lot of whiners and usually I don't stick around long, so I don't find you that bad (well I'm not on Twitter), and besides...it's international whining!

haha that may have been me - I'm so guilty of never posting happy stuff. I need to more, people will think I'm super depressing. :D

Your photos are certainly happy though! :)
