Waiting for my Diana Mini!!

Don't you hate it when you order something you've been waiting forever to be able to get?? Well I've been waiting forever (not really) for my tax money, so I could get a Diana mini. Yea it's just a "toy" camera, that takes 35mm film. (I know like instant film, it's kinda vintage now..lol) But I'm into vintage stuff, and even though 35mm film doesn't seem that vintage to me, the camera looks vintage. And I think it'd be awesome to play around with it, taking random photos.
I ordered my Diana mini, earlier this month, and it's suppose to be here Friday. Hoping Fed-ex gets very fast and it gets here before then. =)
In preparation for my camera, I ordered several rolls of film from Amazon. (you can bundle on lomography.com, but I thought it was cheaper)
I bought a pack of lomography color negative 100, a pack of lomography color negative 400, and a pack of Fuji Film 200. Also I found this really neat Egg Carton film case by Japan Camera Hunter, on Photojojo.com. (definitely check them out, very cool website) I've decorated it with butterflies. =)
Anyways, using my Diana mini, is a type of photography, called Lomography. (hehe) It's photography with these plastic "toy" like cameras. They have all these light leaks, and give off this unique vintage feel to the pictures, without using a filter or Instagram. =) And I'm addicted to anything vintage in general. (you do not wanna be with me in a flea market =))
One my goals this year is to get out more, go fishing, hiking, etc.. and I plan on taking this nifty little camera with me. =)
I CAN"T wait to get it. =) I'm counting the days till Friday. Hoping I get it before then! =)
Just some random info, before I end this. The Diana Mini, is a mini version of the Diana F+, that lomography.com has. The Diana F+ takes 120 film, but has all kinds of accessories you can add to it, such as a instant back, a 35mm back, a bunch of lenses..etc. But since I'm just gonna be using mine for fun, to see what I can do with it.. I didn't want to spend the extra $$ to get the Diana F+. =) So it's up to you if you're interested in anything like this visit. Lomography.com
Will be doing an unboxing video as soon as I get it. =)
