I think my fortune from the Golden Phoenix covers it all. |

I don't even remember having this picture taken but it was right before I zonked Friday evening. I was so TIRED. I think I managed to stay up until like, 10:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. Which is later than I've stayed up, on purpose, in years. See the heating pad I brought with me? Yes. I brought a heating pad with me to JournalCon. Fibromyalgia sucks. So does being stuck in a little itty bitty plane seat for hours. My neck and shoulders were racked by this time. |

Breakfast was SO good. The restaurant attached to the hotel, Perry's, had great food! I had the Sourdough French Bread for breakfast. Along with my $4.00 glass of orange juice. Crazy city prices. The company was good and I wish I hadn't been freaking out about my panel which was getting ready to start just mere minutes away at this point. |
|
The panel I was on. I look like a big doofus. As usual. It was a good panel to be on. I felt very comfortable with MollyZero and SlaveGirl, aka Lunesse. I had a great time speaking even if I nearly hyperventilated before hand. And as soon as I was done, here comes Amanda and down she sets a cold Diet Pepsi. I love that girl! |

My first dollar bill used to pay for a public bus ride. |

This is the boat they made me ride in to get to Alcatraz. |
| San Francisco was beautiful. We were very fortunate with the weather: sunny and mostly clear for the trip. It was a little chilly in the shade to me because of the wind but bearable. |

I had to stand up on the seats to get this shot. It was worth almost falling on my ass to take the picture. |
| Alcatraz was so impressive. I've seen it on so many movies and documentaries but it's just so much MORE in person. |

Viv, Jared and myself hiked down from the top of Alcatraz back to the Ferry. Amanda took this picture of Viv and me as they passed us by on the tram. |
| I liked this painting. I took a picture of it but it's on the roll of film I can't find. Thanks to Amanda for letting me supplement my photo page with some of her shots. |

Amanda made me make my "wrinkle" face. I'm trying to be serious here. I didn't do such a good job. The photo of Amanda is because she's wearing my sunglasses. The ones I've had for about 2-3 years now. I spent $10 on those things and the one stem is held on by a paperclip piece but they completely cover my eyes. I love my sunglasses. I know you must be so fascinated by these lovely little facts. |
Singing Minority by Green Day with John Scalzi. SO SO MUCH FUN!

Oh Ms. Glitter tries to look so INNOCENT with her evil little bag...the bag that is possessed! |

As Trish drove me and Michael Hardy and Lynda to the airport, I took this picture looking back on where I was leaving. I hated to go. |

A hill! And a billboard on the side of a hill! And houses on the side of the hill! Hills! I never get to see hills. Everything is so FLAT here. |

Good-bye San Francisco! |

These look like foothills to some range but I have no idea exactly where we were flying. So. It's a cool shot with the fog lying in. I wish the reflection from the window weren't so apparent. |

The colors in this picture speak to me. |

Part of Bryce National Canyon. |
 Photo by Renee |
I took this photo, sideways and pointing at an awkward angle. It looks like black snakes ripping into the earth. Bryce canyon was so cool to see from the sky. I can only imagine what the Grand Canyon must be like. I loved seeing it. The lighting and colors are so different from what I see all the time. So wild in comparison to the cloak of green everything wears here in North Carolina. I can't wait to go back west. |
