Laguna Beach 2007

So I recently discovered a undeveloped underwater camera from summer of 2007 in Laguna Beach, California. Every summer my parents rent a couple hotel rooms or rent a beach house with their friends and basically have the most relax vacation possible. In 2007 my boyfriend at the time went with his family. And for some spontaneous memories we decided to buy an underwater camera. Well 2 years later I finally get them developed.

Pooping

Okay, so i have this thing about public restrooms that really bother me. And i do it too in fact everybody does it.

1. First off everyone poops...

so why is it that i cant when there are a bunch of people in the bathroom. I feel like they are all listening to me waiting for me to make a hilarious but disgusting sound...is it just me cause I can't do it.

2. Why do people insist on starring at your feet...

So when you leave the stall you know they are gonna look at you and be like "she is the one with the rainbow flip flops that farted really loud." Oh no this is better when you wait in a stall until everyone leaves and you finally get up to go and go you see people waiting outside so they can identify your face to your shoes. Its probably just me but I hate it.

3. WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS

You just scrubbed your VAG with a very delicate piece of tissue do you really think you didn't get anything on your hands. WRONG. I could punch a baby for every time I see people leaving a stall straight to the exit. Oh and another thing please dry your hands off completely touching a wet door handle is not my idea of being fucking clean.

Thank you for your time.

I Need Help

So for the past year I've been trying to design a business card for myself. But seeing how indecisive I am I can't seem to decide on one so im asking you for some help. I would greatly appreciate your vote on your favorite business card idea.

Sarah Yates

One of the only benefits for going to the Art Institute is how tremendously fabulous all the teachers are. Oh…wait, I lied, most of them are lacking. But that’s beside the point. One of my favorite “professors” was a miss Sarah Yates. She is my photography teacher (who woulda’ thought?). She makes A.i. so much more enjoyable, I actually feel like I’m learning, and she is real. You can talk to her about everything and I can guarantee she will have a funny story to go right along with it. Something to do with meat on a stick or California Burritos…speaking of burritos I do believe she owes me one. Along with Sarah you acquire her incredible dog Ruca Bean Yates. Below here are some of her photography and where you can see her work (which is amazing).

Ocean Beach "The Sunset Cliffs"

Today me and my roommate really wanted to do something. We have been sitting on our asses doing nothing for the past three days. Lets just say we are big fans of eating and napping. We grab shelley's boyfriend, Brian and our buddy Michael. We head down to the Sunset Cliffs in O.B. They were ahshum! they have trails you can take all the way to the beach by rope of course! Yeah sketchy! but anyway we ended up going a little bit farther down and came across a bum and ran for our lives the other way. It was a good day.
