college work is really hectic, although the designs for the new college bulletin are looking really good. went to estilo with jess on wednesday, a jug of sangria and tapas is niiiiiiiiiiice, jennifer's body is not that nice, megan fox scares me. i'm excited for paranormal activity, looks slightly like the blair witch project with ghosts? my home-made superCUPID costume for tash's superhero fancy dress 18th looks lame, although i'm in love with the pink wig that makes me look like a drag queen

fur: an imaginary portrait of diane arbus is one of the films that makes me feel not the same as i felt before i watched it

hello massive edinburgh/life in general post

asda booze, expensive tastes, what can i say

the day we left, (ben was such a driving hero)

edinburgh zoo

a pub that looked like it was from emmerdale, AMAZING cumberland sausage and mash

ben and i are disgusting

best birthday breakfast ever

on my birthday, going to what turned out to be a very smutty ghost walk were i was branded a witch and had to wear thumbscrews, prompting the guide to start yelling that he'd have to screw me harder, beautiful...

looking nice and sober on birthday evening

the highlands were lovely!
there are more photos on my flickr, but i'm a lazy bum

i have loads and loads of college work, and extra graphics like re-designing college news, my head is going to explode!

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:33:39 GMT

shaved head, just over a week until birthday!

so tired, jenny drove us to her friend's house party in bournemouth at 11.30 last night, i feel so young around university people. chicken dippers at 2am, people trying to eat my toes, josh getting stuck in the bathroom for half an hour, sleeping on the comfiest sofa in the world, generally a good night

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:02:01 GMT

oh wow, edinburgh's booked, i think we're stopping off at places on the way there (ben has a massive drive). i'm going to be 18 in less than 3 weeks, how ridiculous! going to camberwell open day on the 20th, when i will celebrating my pre-birthday avec naomi as she's not going to edinburgh, bonjour portabello market, brick lane and home-made fridge cake. ahh, i bought a glasto ticket yesertday only to find none of my friends have, so i might be spending the week end alone, oh dear.
went to see the king blues on thurs, it was crazily magnificent, i have never been so drenched in sweat champagne before. highlights were falling over into a baby mosh pit and being dragged up a beefy sweaty hand, being baby birds when the security guards brought out the bottles of water, spending the ride home in my underwear in jenny's car, seeing the man from pullingers!!, eating mcnuggets at 1:15am, and jenny's stellar parallel parking.

college is madness, i've signed up to tons of graphic and art enrichments, and i've been pouring over musty old history war books for hist coursework

GOOD DAY

jess' 18th

even m&s fast food is posh

pyjama day at college was so comfy, i nearly feel asleep in all my lessons

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:48:43 GMT

i eat chips with mushy peas and gravy far too much

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:04:27 GMT

college is gobbling up my soul once more, not really settling in, graphics is the only thing i like nowadays! i have to write a personal statement for uni, i can't describe why i like art, the feeling's too big for my mouth

edit: someone from my old hist class told me i reminded him of miss marple, nice

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:47:29 GMT

yessssssss, i have rose for graphics this year!

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:17:56 GMT

we've booked a fancy house outside edinburgh for my birthday! i am so excited for shortbread, wellies, ghost walks, castles, bloody marys, hogwarts express, my big bear hat, sheep jumpers and saturday night cocktails!

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 15:18:05 GMT

i have a massive food baby, and i don't really want to go back to college

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 19:11:24 GMT

walking through the rangers with naomi balls (i fell down a gun-hole thing and stretched my leg to angles i didn't think possible, it hurt a lot); using up film before rose asks for her camera back. i had such a stressful, hectic day at work

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:47:37 GMT

500 days of summer is a brilliant film with a brilliant soundtrack, especially "sweet disposition" by the temper trap and "vagabond" by wolfmother. i like films that make my heart hurt and make my heart happy at the same time

walking with dinosaurs was good, and they looked real, but time-wise it was very short, it also happened to be at wembley not the o2. ate a nandos in literally 5 minutes, i have never felt prettier than when ii'm shovelling chicken and a bird bath of coleslaw down my mouth

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:10:59 GMT

going to london again in a minute, hello walking with dinosaurs at the o2!

elmer the elephant paper!

finally starting my 20 pages of art c/w with 2 weeks until it's due, a cunning plan...

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:02:47 GMT

i feel older, like i'm growing up fast. i can drive, the things i used to think about seem silly, i went to nandos with jenny after work, i'm going to be 18 in less two months

my head doesn't feel the same

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 15:32:32 GMT

gave blood on thursday, the people are so pushy with the drinks afterwards, and i nearly fainted, i obviously sat up too quickly. also had my cervical cancer jab on the same day, thankfully not on the same arm

my holiday has turned me into a right toilet-mouth

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:04:52 GMT

newquay was ridiculously amazing, i am so tired after going to bed not once before 2 and waking up at 6 because of the ginormous crazy squawking sea gulls outside our tent! my driving has improved so much, there are so many hills and i am now a master at hill starts and can actually park into a bay with two cars either side of me.
highlights:
- earning the name bad mood bear/carebear because i was hideously grumpy the first night when everyone else was drinking and all i wanted to do was sleep
- skinny dipping at 1 o clock in the midnight and naked kisses in the sea!
- massive waves at la plage, holding onto my bikini top for dear life
- rolling into the campsite with 'move bitch' by ludacris blaring on the speakers only to be have to reverse back up the hill because of the bus; not the smoothest of entrances
- meeting crazy people in the 'ket' caravan that were caught taking drugs by the security guards
-midnight double decker bus journeys with a lovely driver that let us get on for free
- walking to the beach at night then walking miles back, nearly getting run over by numerous buses
- snail infested showers
- st ives
- walking through a field singing 'fields of gold', only to be scared of being shot by a farmer
- waiting for an hour at mexican cantina for some food, only to be so full on nachos that i could barely touch the main
- nearly falling asleep on the cliffs' spongy, grassy tops
-I'M STILL LOVIN YOU, LIKE IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
-don't stop, wiggle wiggle
- fish and chips with blood clot gravy and runny peas on the beach

i am absolutely shattered and i haven't even started my 2000 word history essay and i think i only have about 3 weeks until college starts, oh dear. other news, got my AS results:
A - graphics
A - english combined
A - history (my resit was worth it, i went up by 20 marks)
B - applied art
B - general studies

wow, this is the longest thing i have ever written in this journal

fresh

we love our arteries

fred's urine

cliffs like the ones from half blood prince

the italian job

lovely hogwarts express jumper!

GOING TO CORNWALL FOR A WEEK TOMORROW, DRIVING FOR 5 HOURS WITH A SPRAINED WRIST, BEAUTY

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 20:37:56 GMT

And the day came, when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom

pages from my graphics journal:

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 18:20:51 GMT

went to brighton last monday, it was tres bon, i drove there which was relatively painless, although i slowed down to overtake someone which was not the best move; i received the stink-eye. i was told off at work by D, someone who is only a supervisor on a saturday and is an average sales assistant for the rest of the week, and is someone who just bums around trying to get people to chat with him, then moans at other people for talking. moanna's party was last night, i jumped off of her sofa and landed on my wrist, there was a snappy sound and frozen peas, i think i've sprained it. v for vendetta is one of the best films i watched in ages! i'm working monday, tuesday and wednesday this week, definitely not excited, but newquay is next monday, hooray for getting away for a while

brightonia:

some photos and postcards i bought in an antique shop:

moanna's birthday shenanigans:

i feel sorry for hercules!

t4 on the beach was a giant let-down, if the music was good the rain and sinking sand wouldn't have been half as bad, although florence and the machine were fab, but we missed the gossip! will young was also surprisingly good. hopefully i'm going to glastonbury next year, so we shall see. the car journey to t4 there and back took 9 hrs, ben and paul are driving heroes, highlights include lauren filming EVERYTHING, flashers from nearby cars, paul's car wankers, naomi throwing sausage rolls onto ben's windscreen and lauren reaching to grab it then getting hit by the wiper blade and jenny's bucket of gristly, flappy kfc chicken.

driving on my own is so lonely!

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 21:00:21 GMT

well, this week's torchwood has been horrifyingly, heart-breakingly brilliant

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:27:40 GMT

only a week until my driving test! i was nervous 2 weeks ago, ive' started getting the chest pains now
also, something slightly more important than being to transport myself HARRY POTTER NEXT WEEK
