The Manchester Life.

Hello, hi, how are ya'? It's been a while!!! I didn't realise how long it had been until I re-read my last post. It's been over a month. Shock horror. NOT!!
I can't believe I've lived here for almost 2 months, where is the time going? More to the point, where is my life going? Ok, let's not get dramatic here. Breathe in, and out. IN. OUT!!!! Ugh, not working. The only answer left is alcohol.
 Soooooooo.... Yeaaaaah.
Uni's been good. We've been learning how to make our own prosthetic pieces which was super interesting. I also fell asleep in one of my classes (thanks for the picture Hannah!!!) See exhibit A.



As you can see my face is fully smushed against the comfy seat in which my fancy leather trousers are sat upon, the position I held is as surprising to me as it is to you viewing it for the first time. I have no idea how that could have been comfortable but let me tell you, by God was it good. I caught up on at least 3 minutes of sleep. In my defence we were being told things I already knew, so I wasn't really missing much. It's become a running joke with the girls in my class, if they see me sleep, they laugh, take a picture and then kick me awake. Thanks girls! It's actually quite reassuring knowing someone will always be there to make sure I wake up. 
We have photography on Monday afternoons and its been ridiculously fun. Basically our tutor (Karl Pillington, not Pilkington, as he likes to remind us) gives us a camera and some lights and lets us piss around for 3 and a half hours. Which if you ask me, isn't a bad way to spend your afternoons. Below you will find one of said photos of us pissing around.



I like to think we have become one large dysfunctional family, we're always laughing and joking around. In that photo we used a sheet of purple plastic to change the colour of the background. I find it quite fascinating how it all works to be perfectly honest. There are many, many more cringy photos I could add in but I feel you may all lose the will to live if I showed you ALL of them. (There's about 170, I'm doing you a favour, trust me.)

Halloween is just round the corner (only 4 days to go) and I am beyond excited. I've got my new sfx kit thanks to the uni and I am ready to get creative!! I have loads of my friends asking me to do their makeup for the flat party we're having. I've got a werewolf, the mask, a burnt prisoner and a joker Mario thing. My own makeup will be epic, obviously. I plan on being a modern day Vampire (see True Blood) and have massive scratches coming down one side of my mouth, where I'll black out my tooth and make it look like one of my fangs has been ripped out. I had to get creative as I could only get one fang in, thanks mum for not giving me braces as a kid, I'm paying the price now, I'm going to have to be a dodgy Vampire. CHEERS!!! One of my friends is going as an old age Vampire and he bought this fabulous coat with a beautiful pattern on it. I then bought a corset online thinking nothing of it, when it arrived, turns out it's the exact same pattern as the coat. We go quite well together and I'm very excited to see how we are going to look standing next to each other.

It's currently 3.43 am and it's raining outside (obviously, this is Manchester), sleep has alluded me, hence the reason why the verbal diarrhoea has started. I realised just now, while writing this, that I use ( ) a lot. Like a ridiculous amount. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing that but I feel as though I should tone it down a bit. Let me know will ya'?

I dyed my hair again. Yes, I know, I dye it a lot. This time it's ginger on top and ombre ginger on the ends. The picture doesn't portray the ombreness that is my hair at this point.


I also got my septum pierced. Sorry mum. I think it looks bloody fantastic. My mother however will disagree and tell you I look like a bull. Each to their own I guess. And I think in my last post I had stretched my ears to 4mm, one is now 5mm and growing. I tried to stretch the other one but it was having none of it. I let it heal up and now I'm starting it from scratch, just to make sure there's no damage done. It's at a measly 2mm.
Other then that everything has stayed the same. My tan has gone and I now look pale as fuuuuuu- again. Oh well, one is not destined to be bronzed. 

I really am running out of things to tell you. I think I'll start writing little and often rather than leaving you all with a novel to read every month or so. It's rather unfair on you beautiful bunch to expect you to take a chunk out of your day to read about my life. (which if you ask me isn't that great anyway)


I adore you all so very much and I'm so glad you read my drivel that I post. Much love and all that jazz.
