 i feel so lost right now. not having a camera sucks ass and i will probably go insane without one. my to do list is so big right now i feel like my head may explode. ive been trying to make myself feel better by spending some alone time on the computer looking at things i know will cheer me up. my best friends wedding shower is tomorrow and im really looking forward to being with her. i got really sick the other day and im hoping that today will be the worst of it. ive been spending a lot of time resting and taking medicine. my whole body aches and my throat is beyond sore. chris cant even rub my back for me because it honestly hurts way to much.
i almost had a heart attack when i realized all my vacation pictures were on christophers computer that was stolen but i was smart enough to keep them on my camera card. its been so hard since the robbery. i dont feel like myself. i feel as though i have completely lost touch with my creative side. the zine symposium is fastly approaching and im embarrassed to say that i have no new zine to flaunt, or even a table. its no ones fault that all this happend at once. but things are starting to look okay i suppose. i think im finally ready to start sharing my vacation photos here and i will be putting them over the next few days. hope yall are having a good summer!

 we got back home from our vacation on sunday. disneyland was everything i imagined it would be plus some. california adventure was sort of a disappointment other than a few rides that i really enjoyed. ended up not taking many pictures because i was just to busy having fun honestly. i feel a need to probably go back in a few years during off season since we went at a time where school just got out and all the summer events just started. there was an estimated 65,000 people on just the first day we were there. i want to go back to just to see everything again and not spend so much time in lines. i would love to just make another trip to california so i could travel down 101 and explore the beaches. spending time with just my dad was great because he's always so busy working. i met up with brandie (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) beesting), her sister amanda and little eli and i had such a great night with them at the park. i always love meeting new people and so getting to hang out with brandie was way cool. so glad she and her husband william are moving to portland in the next couple of weeks. there are a few things im going to miss about california but im so glad i dont live there. the weather was perfect and im sure we picked a good time of year to go. all the palm trees and tropical plants were so fun to see. to sum up our trip in just a few sentences is hard because it was a total blast.

 a couple weeks ago i found an old envelope that was addressed to my grandmother. it was full of disney vacation information dated january 7th 1965. i scanned everything and have added them to my flickr. i have finished most of my packing. monday i meet mickey mouse! we leave around three am tomorrow and my tummy hurts from all the excitement. hoping i get enough rest before we start driving. christopher is a real sweetheart and is house sitting for the whole week. found out that i got really awesome grades this last term and i feel like i really deserve this vacation. summer is starting out awesome and i hope that it stays this way. im looking forward to a lot of adventures and relaxing with my boy and my dog.

  my inspiration has run a little dry lately. im trying to pick myself up again and get some things started again. my problem right now is total lack of motivation and my room being a mess due to finals week. monday and tuesday are big days for me and then i can fully concentrate on vacation. im hoping that when we return i have some engergy in me in time to get things made for the symposium. i have my license now and thats crazy all on its own. ive been driving myself to school and the other week i took christopher and our dog max to the beach. it was fun day of playing with tennis balls and running around in the water. i want more days like that.

 im surprised i never talked about seattle after mentioning that i was going. the weather was a real bummer because it was constantly raining and i never had a good chance to take pictures. the photo is of her new kitten that she recently rescued. maddy and i spent all of our time catching up, playing with the kitten, and hanging out like old times. it was so good to get away and see her. matt, her fiance, is a really great guy and he is such a comedian. i really wish she would move back to oregon but it seems like her real home is in seattle. matt spent the whole weekend trying to convince me to move up there because he doesnt like most of her friends but i could never see myself a seattle person.

i always knew that someday i would learn how to drive but yesterday was absolutely amazing. i took my drivers test around 11am and my instructor had a very strong russian accent. luckily he was understanding when i had to ask questions and in the end i passed my test. called christopher immediately and drove over to his house. i was really nervous at first to be driving completely by myself since im always used to someone in the car with me. it felt awesome not having to be with my dad. christopher and i had a great day and i even made it to class on time. its a really new experience for me and im not sure i will be driving other than to school most days. im just so happy i passed!

 i havent been updating this very much for a while now. i wish i would have since a lot of things have been happening. my grandparents are all moved into an assisted living/retirement home and im so relieved. my dad has been working so hard to get them comfortable ever since things started going wrong with them. grandpa found out he will have to use a walker from now on and grandma still has to exercise to get back to the way she was. school hasnt been as good as i have been hoping. i kind of made too many mistakes on one of my mid-terms but if i do extra credit i will be absolutely fine. also, theres a big possibility now that my dad and i will be taking a road trip down to disneyland!

 i have been dreaming of a disneyland vacation. started looking at photos last night on flickr and my brain just started spinning with ideas. i stayed up three hours later than i wanted to just looking at what it would cost to go. it kind of seems to me like a really expensive idea that probably wont happen. but then again, getting it out of my head isnt going to happen any time soon. im not made of money but i keep thinking about how exciting it would be. now all i have to do is convince myself and my dad. we havent gone since i was a little girl and i dont exactly remember much of the place. when we used to go we would stay with friends. i remember eating homemade mac n cheese, meeting mickey mouse, and the submarine ride.
