And Then She Sewed The Models Face!

Good morrow!

Things have gotten better since the last depressing post (I'm so sorry for that!!), fun things have happened!!!

I went to the Neill Gorton Prosthetics Show in Birmingham with uni. Getting up at 6am was not very fun but I can't really complain because I got to nap on the very uncomfortable coach. 
We got there at around 9am which was perfect as we were just in time for the first demo of the day. We all sat in this giant lecture room, cameras and microphones were placed at the front and on that stage was Neill Gorton himself accompanied by Rebecca Butterworth!! WTF!!! Ok, I was fan girling slightly at this point.Now if you don't know who Neill Gorton is, let me educate you: He is the creator of Millennium FX, one of the biggest companies ever. He's worked on loads of films such as Saving Private Ryan, Thor, Frankenstein, The wolf Man and also One Direction: This Is Us (Yes this is true!!) (he did loads more but I'm not naming them all, are you crazy??) he's also worked on loads of tv shows too: Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Doctor Who, Torchwood and LOAAAADS more, he's also done the makeup for a Miss Lady Gaga, no idea who she is.. (LOL). Rebecca Butterworth is really well known in the fashion industry as she does all of the makeup for the catwalk. She knows whats in trend a year from now... It's like she can see in to the future or something?? Anyway, I sat in the perfect spot, I had a great view and waited for it to begin. Now, from the title of this post you may be wondering, the frick frack?? Yes, Rebecca sewed up the models face! Now don't be alarmed because Neill applied some prosthetic transfers that looked like bumps of skin to the models face, so in theory she wasn't actually sewing up the models real skin, I just thought I'd freak you all out and it helps for clickbait too, hehe. 
Don't mind me, just casually sewing a face.
As you can see from the photo above, she literally sewed up the face. It was weird to watch but also oddly satisfying to see. She add beads to it and turned it into a beauty look.
Once the talk and demo was over I plucked up the courage to go and talk to Mr Gorton... I managed to grab a selfie with him too!! (Inner screaming) 

There he is. The man himself. I was that excited to meet him I forgot there were really bright lights behind us making the photo a bit shit. BUT OMG I'M STANDING NEXT TO NEILL FRICKING GORTON!! Ok, annnnnd relax...

When all the excitement was over I went into the Monster Making room, yes that was the actual name of the room, cool isn't it? There were loads of masks and stuff placed around the room, with the name of the film or tv show they were taken from. It was weird seeing face casts of famous people with the masks that they actually wore!! Deadpools mask was there!!! They also had prosthetic pieces from Red Dwarf there (ask your dad about that one) and a giant beaver head from one of the old B&Q adverts!! 
Once we'd finished looking at the cool masks we sat down at the front of one of the other demonstrations and then Stuart Bray came on, again let me educate you on who Stuart Bray is: He worked on Shaun of the Dead, Stardust and The Mummy Returns. He has also done the makeup for Game of Thrones!!!! YES!! He's also helped Greg Nicotero on The Walking Dead... Anyway back to it, he came on and gave a presentation on some wrinkled skin he did for a movie, it was gross but I loved it!! Once he was done I went to go and talk to him, by this point I had my courage up and felt like I could go and talk to anyone!! He gave me some helpful tips and tricks about making prosthetic pieces and flat moulds and then I asked him for a photo, he asked me whether or not I would like a beaver head in the background "even though it has nothing to do with my work" he said.

There he is, Mr Stuart Bray. Unfortunately you can't see the giant beaver behind us! But by God was I a happy camper after this. I said goodbye to him and wandered back to my seat where I sat grinning for about half an hour. Then we had some people come talk to us about the monsters on Doctor Who which is cool as I used to watch it a lot (When Matt Smith was the doctor) and they talked about how they made the costumes and how hard it was to walk in them, they talked about the Slitheen, not sure if you remember those horrible creatures but turns out there were people walking around in those costumes and they had to have the arms glued on so once they were in there they couldn't actually take them off until lunch time!
Then they talked about the Angles, you know the ones where you can't blink or they come get you... Turns out they are real actresses painted to look like marble status, my mind was blown as I had always thought they were real statues. 

After that we did some shopping. I was in heaven!! There was so much fake blood, it was fabulous. I bought some to try and I still haven't opened it even though I'm really excited to see what it looks like. I bought one that is the exact same colour and texture of our blood when you first cut yourself!! How cool is that? 
As I was waiting for my friends to finish shopping I see a guy with blue hair and a soul patch walk past me. I stop. Glued to the spot. It can't be?? OMG!!! It's Charlie Short, a.k.a Pinkstylist from Youtube. Now hold on a minute, you may be thinking I'm over reacting slightly but no I'm not. I've been watching this guy on Youtube for years!! He taught me so much, he taught me how to do drag makeup and cool body painting. My heart was beating so quickly as I made my way to him, I tapped him on the shoulder and smiled my biggest smile at him.. It was hard to get my words out, I was star struck. I told him how much I loved his videos and if I could get a photo with him. He said yes and he was so lovely!! He came across as really genuine. I got a hug from him too!!

After saying goodbye to him my heart was still beating incredibly fast. I couldn't stop smiling!!!!  I felt like I had acted like a crazy person but he seemed ok with it, I posted this picture to instagram and tagged him in it, he had seen it and taken it and put it in a collage of people he had met that day!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Ok breathe, so yeah. After that we went back in to the giant lecture room and watched Neill Gorton and Rob Mayor do a full face of prosthetics!! It was cool how they made young girls look like old ladies.

Once it was all over it was time to go back to the uncomfortable coach, I tried to nap again but my body was having none of it. That's about it. The way back wasn't really that interesting. It was dark outside so I couldn't even glance at the landscape.

TADA!!! That's how my Saturday went.

Hope you enjoyed reading, I'll see you around.

Jinx

Hello,

Some of you may have noticed that I deleted my last post, I won't go in to detail but some stuff happened and I felt like I needed to erase everything to do with said issue from my life. Sorry for messing you all about, but I'm back now ready to write again.

I'm not going to lie to you, things have been shit. And I don't mean "ugh, today was a bad day" sort of shit, I mean the "I can't sleep or eat" kind of shit. I spent a few weeks suffering from insomnia and eating only toast. That's what my body does when shit goes down... You know how some people eat their feelings (take Bridget Jones for example, she eats ice cream and cries to herself) I can't do that. I starve myself of everything that I love, why I hear you ask, I don't know why. I guess it's my bodies way of dealing with rejection. This is turning out to be half rant half depression. I'm sorry... 
I know that everything was going so well in my last post, I knew it was too good to be true and I'm pretty sure I jinxed my life. But it's ok, I'm used to these set backs. Things will pick up again, the only problem is I'm always scared when things go too well, they usually come crashing down after a few months, leaving me battered and hurt wondering what the hell happened to the happy times. Sometimes it can go from "OMG I'm so happy, this is amazing, I've never been so happy in my life!!!!! I hope this never ends!!" to, "Oh, well I guess something had to go wrong eventually, see you around". Now I know I'm being vague and I apologies for that, but like I said, I don't really want to go in to detail as it was very much a private matter.

Anyway, on to happier things. 
My mum came to the UK. That was nice. I guess she came at the best possible time... Sorry, I'm descending in to darkness again. Beam me up Scotty! We hung out for 4 days which was amazing. It was so nice to just have her around to give me hugs and cook me nice food again after having not seen her for such a long time. We went wedding dress shopping with my sister, I was really jealous of all the nice dresses she tried on. Kind of wished that was me... We went out for a fancy lunch and drank fake champagne, it was really nice. 
And I can't wait to go home for Christmas!!!! I'm so excited to just be around my parents and animals again after such a shitty time.

Uni is going alright, had my first breakdown and it's only been three months, new world record for me!! Had my first assessment on facial postiche. I turned my friend Sam (Male) in to a fabulous drag queen.. He wore a bright pink ball gown and long false nails. I hand knotted his moustache which took me three weeks to make, bloody joke!! Glued it to his face and did some gorgeous over the top makeup. He got proper in to it when I started taking the photos.. I'll post them later on once I've edited them.. Got lots to do before I can show them to the public.
Excited for next Saturday as we're going to a prosthetic event in Birmingham. Loads of famous makeup artists will be there. I'm going to be throwing my money at them and buying loads of crap I don't need but really really want! It's going to be so much fun!!!

Got some gigs coming up as well which will be awesome!!! Going to see The Fratellis at the end of November and then Four Years Strong in February!!
We've planned a trip to Amsterdam in February too which will be SIIIIICK!!! Always wanted to go and now I am with some of my closest friends. The end of this year is making up for how shit the rest of it has been. I hope to God 2017 is gonna be 300000000x better or I swear I'm gonna give up. Not even joking!

Hopefully Caitlin, Beth and Me will live together again next year in the same flat with the same rooms, I've grown to like them haha. They're ok really and we get along really well.
Aiden is coping well living with us, bless him. He doesn't half get bullied in to doing things for us. But we're a cute little family. Aiden's even going to buy a Christmas tree for the flat and Beth's mum is bringing the decorations. It's going to be so festive.

Went to the Christmas market last night with Ben and Annie. It really got me in the Christmas mood even though it's still only the beginning of November. We had mulled wine in cute little mugs and then we got mini pancakes and I had mine covered in Nutella.... It was so good. I did feel quite sick after though and when we got back to Annie's flat she decided to make cupcakes which were so good, but that didn't help my stomach which was hurting from the pancakes. We watched the incredibles as well which was so much fun. made us all feel like kids again.

One last thing: THE WALKING DEAD HAS BEEN SPOILED FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, night.

Hello From The Dark Side...

Hi,

I've had all summer off and not once have I written a post... Laziness has taken over my soul, I'm sorry!! I'll do better, I promise.
Anyway, so yeah. I can't actually remember what the last post was about. Did I tell you about Slam dunk?? If not, it was amazing, we had lots to drink and saw some amazing bands live, I GOT TO SEE PANIC AT THE DISCO!!!!! My life is complete. If by some amazing reason you already new about that, I'm sorry, ignore those last few sentences..

I feel hyper, not sure why. Maybe it's from all the excitement of writing again. Who knows.
Sooooo, this summer I went to France to catch up with my family. That was really nice, Jess came with me for a the first week. After that I got a great tan and went to the beach and had bbq's with the family and some of their friends. And I got to see my dog again after having not seen him for a year. I miss him loads already and I've only been back in the UK for about a month. 

Everyone's moving flats, so we've been very busy helping everyone move their things around. I'll be moving at the end of August which can't come quick enough. I prematurely took down all of my posters in my bedroom so now it looks really bare and I don't like it very much because it doesn't really feel like my room anymore, silly me thought I was moving out earlier then that. Apparently not as there is a guy living in the flat I want to move into and he just won't leave! How rude of him. I'm kidding (I'm not, I'm just not allowed to kick him out so I have to deal with it). 


I've been given my assignments for my second year of university, so I've gotten started on those. It's been nice getting back into it but I'm feeling stressed already and the new year hasn't even begun yet. How on earth am I going to cope??? 


Remember that piercing I got in my ear? Yeah, it never healed so I had to do some DIY removal skills to get it out. I couldn't sleep on my ear and I couldn't touch it without crying to in the end I gave in and took it out. I'm sad because it looked good and it actually stopped my headaches, the only problem is I got chronic earache instead. Not really sure which is worse to be honest.
I've a had a few more tattoos since the last post too... I need stopping, it's becoming a problem. I've had paw prints and some writing added to my body, at least they mean something to me and aren't just some random crap I liked the look of. No, they're sentimental crap instead. More to come in the future I'm sure of it!!! My mum is visiting for a month in October to go wedding dress shopping with my sister and I'm getting my bride maids dress too, I hope she doesn't pick out a hideous one! And me and my mum are getting tattoos while she's over. And probably doing a lot of shopping!!

During the summer holidays I've whittled my friendship group down and now only trust a few people. It's sad but it has to do be done and I'm hoping that the start of this new year, with new people moving in, I'll meet some new people and have more great times just like I did last year.
I'm looking forward to freshers, even though I'm not a fresher anymore.
Annie's gotten me addicted to Gossip Girl, we watch it religiously every lunch time when she's back from work. It's crazy!! And we've just started watching Prison Break too, which is really intense but so good!!

Yeah, you know how I said I'd started running... That's stopped. I can't be bothered any more and it's really scary outside in the dark. So, in September I'm joining a gym. And I will go, because I'll buy a membership which means if I don't want to waste my money I have to go!!! It can't fail!!!

Anyway, that's all for now. Time to go!
See you again soon

It's Hard Being A Student.... Not.

So it's been over a month since I last wrote anything. I've been finishing my last few weeks of uni off and submitting all of my work. I have never been so stressed in all of my life before!! I had my first mental breakdown of the year the other week while trying to get all of my images for my portfolio edited and printed off. I broke down in the stairwell and balled my eyes out. Classy. 
But it's all done now and everything has been handed in, I can breathe and chill. The only problem now is that I have 3 and a half months worth of chilling to do, so far I've done a weeks worth and I'm already losing the will to live. 


I've got lots of fun things coming up which should take my mind off having nothing to do during the day. Friday we'll all be in Leeds ready for Slam Dunk on the Saturday. I am so excited, it's unreal!! I am going to fan girl so hard over Panic! at the Disco you have no idea!!!! Then we have the after party as well which will be good and we're staying in a house which will make the whole experience 200x better. Then I'm off to France for 3 weeks which will be so nice, I can finally see my dog and cats and smush their little furry faces, oh and I get to see my parents of course haha. My bestie Jess is coming with me for a week so there will be lots of sunbathing and chilling in the pool which I'm also super excited for. Then in August fingers crossed I can go to Leeds Fest, there are so many amazing bands I would love to see live!!! 
It's also my birthday in 3 weeks... WHAT??!! I'm going to be 21, how?? I want to be 10 again, watching tv after school and not having any problems at all. Seems like a lifetime ago. On the other hand I am super stoked to be finally taken seriously when I mention my age. Overall it looks like summer is going to be a good one!


Other things that have been going on other than finishing up uni, I got one of my tattoos worked on so it looks less shit. Now it looks pretty and girlie and not something I would usually have, but it's nice and it makes a good change. I also got my daith pierced (see image below for an idea of where that is) it's the red bit, if you're unsure which bit I mean.



It hurt like a bitch!!! The woman who pierced me was all like "Oh you've got your septum pierced, this will be nothing compared to that" let me tell you, she lied! She lied through her teeth!!! Out of all the piercings I have (and I have a lot) this one hurt the most, it almost made me cry! I had this done about 3 days ago and it's only just stopped hurting when I smile, but I still can't lay on that side of head, nor can I touch it. It's a pain in the arse. It's supposed to stop the intensity of migraines, it better bloody work or I will be so pissed off that I went through that much pain for nothing!! This piercing will never be changed, it hurt too much, so once it stops hurting, I'm never touching it again... Just in case... 
Wow, that was a rant and a half. Sorry...

In other news... Oh wait, that's it.
 No wait, there's more.
I'm excited to see what sort of cake Tom will be making me for my birthday, if you remember in one of my other posts I mentioned that he makes extremely good cakes and that they always look fabulous. I hope it's chocolatey, anything chocolatey is good in my eyes. 

Oh I also forgot, in less interesting news, I'm growing my hair long again because for one of my friends assessments she put hair extensions in my hair and they looked so amazing and cute and now I really miss my long hair, so I'm growing it!! :D! And the black is fading very slowly, my rooms are quite big and back to my natural hair colour (brown) and the ends have started going brown as well which is really strange. I also found a few grey hairs the other day. I'm getting old!! It's not fair!! Soon my whole head will be grey!!
Ok I'm exaggerating slightly but still. 21 and already finding grey hairs. Although I told my sister and she said I'm lucky because she found them when she was 16 hahah. Poor her.

Anyway, that'll do for now. Hopefully I'll still be alive after these 3 and a half months of doing nothing.
Thanks for reading.

Change Can Be Good

Hullo, nice of you to join me again. So it's been a few weeks (I think) since I last wrote anything, but nothing has really happened since then other than lots of work being done and stuff.

I've started running, which is crazy because it's fitness and normally I'm all for fitness, fitness whole pizza in my mouth, heuheheuheu. Anyway, on a serious note I have been running quite regularly, or, I've been trying too. It's hard to motivate yourself to leave your bed, especially when I've bought a cosy dressing gown that feels like I'm being hugged by a giant, soft teddy bear! But I feel a lot better once I've been out. I'm drinking a bugger tonne of water too. AND I've stopped drinking. I only drink on birthdays now. It's amazing how much better I feel, I wake up in the morning without a hangover and everything just feels great. 
It seems that everything is looking up, thing are going amazingly. My slam dunk ticket came, so I super excited for that, I'm going to fan girl so hard when Panic! At The Disco come on. Probably going to lose my voice, but it'll be totally worth it. Hopefully for my 21st birthday I'll get Leeds Fest tickets which would be amazing. My dad was all like "Don't you want something you can actually hold and cherish?" I said "Dad, the memories will be enough for me" Almost all of my favourite bands are playing and some of my closest friends will be there.

One of my friends who I know from moving to France, but is English and now lives in Stoke (It's all very confusing) came to Manchester to see me, it was so strange actually hanging out in a town and being able to understand what people are saying without having to translate everything. We've known each other almost 10 years, that's bloody crazy! We did some serious shopping and then gorged ourselves on American styled burger and chips and milkshake. We had to roll ourselves out of the diner, but it was totally worth it!!

Very excited to get my next student finance payment. The things I shall buy!!! A new phone is deffo on the cards as the one I have at the moment is starting to really irritate me and makes me want to throw it out of the window, but I have restrained myself as violence doesn't solve anything. It would make me happier but no, we do not do things like that!


Excited to go to France in July for a nice holiday and to finally see my doggy who I haven't smushed for 8 months, which is a long time to not have anything furry in your life. 
I feel like this has turned into things I'm excited for... Sorry about that, I'm just in a super excitable mood at the moment because everything is just going to well!!


I'll leave you all to the rest of your day, have a good one.
Thanks for reading, see you again soon.

The Ups, The Downs and The Butterbeer.

Hello, it has been crazy since I last wrote to you all. I may have failed my first assessment, but hopefully I can catch up and redo it or add to it to make it 100% better. I also did my 1940's assessment and passed with flying colours. It's the first time I've ever genuinely been proud of myself and the work that I've done. I used Lauren as my model and we went to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester to take the photos, they came amazingly. See for yourself:


This one has been photoshopped and edited to the standard we need for our portfolios. I think she really fits the bill and looks like she should be in the 40's. I was a model for one of my friends, we too went there and took pictures but the week after. It was so much fun being made up and dressed up. When we got to the museum there were children everywhere waving at me and taking pictures of me, it was so strange having all eyes on me haha. Everyone did really well on this assessment, which is nice.
We also went to Harry Potter World!!!!! OH MY GOSH, I was like a small child all over again. I'm pretty sure my friends were sick of me by the end as I spent the whole time squealing and making them take photos of me with things. Sorry girls.
We drank butterbeer, which tasted strange and not as good as you think it sounds. We got to ride on the Hogwarts Express, we stood on the bridge and in front of Privet Drive. It was a dream come true for me. I could feel my tattoo tingling as I walked past the Maurauders map.



Thanks Hanna, for taking this photo and also letting me drink your butterbeer, much appreciated. It was such a good day, even the coach ride there and back (a total of 8 hours) wasn't too bad. We had music and giggles and it made me realise how lucky I am to have my uni girls!
Then, the sun came out! SHOCKER! So we decided to go to the pub for drinks and lunch, I had sweet potato fries, now I come to think of it, everyone did, pretty sure they ran out of sweet potatoes when we were done with them. It was totally worth it, we had a laugh and a nice chit chat before heading back and doing more work.


These lovely girls have made uni so much more enjoyable and actually made me look forward to going in early in the morning, just so I can spend two days with my friends.

Other then that, nothing much has happened. I've been an adult these past few days and have been going to bed early and getting up at a reasonable time (which is very strange for me), I also bought fruit today... Not sure what's going on with me but I like the change.
I've also been helping my sister with wedding plans, it's all very exciting, I just hope she doesn't put me in a pink bridesmaids dress, that would be sad and definitely not my style.
Today me and Lauren went shopping and bought a few things for our upcoming assessments we have. I have a beautiful model coming in especially for my Director Character Design assessment we have to do. I'm very excited to see the finished look, she'll look very burlesque and scary and old all in one. And before that we have a fairytale assessment, hopefully we will be able to take our photos outside in the woods. That would look amazing. I've made a skirt for this one, my talents are blooming and I'm surprising myself more and more each day. I'm also being a model for Jess, she's turning me into a steampunk snow white which will be so fun to see, she's putting hair extensions in my hair and I'm super excited to see myself with long hair again after having it short for so long!!!
I can't believe we only have 2 months left of uni and then we're done. Two months tomorrow we have to submit our portfolios which is a super scary thought. And then I have to do my second year and start all over again.This is too much adult for me to comprehend!! HELP!!
Hopefully, I can get to France and see my parents for the summer. It would be nice to actually have the chance to get a tan. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, that's it for now.
I'll let you know when something else happens.
Thanks for reading.

This Is As Young As You'll Ever Be.


Yo!

So, it's been over a month since I last wrote anything, oops. My bad. It has been hectic these past few weeks, uni work has to be done and alcohol has to be drunk. My priorities are in the right place as you can see.


I've submitted two of my assignments which is fun! THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!! Don't really feel as though I did very well if I'm being honest. But it could surprise me and come back very positive. The pictures turned out great that I had to take, which is a start. 
Anyway, onto the interesting stuff.

It was Jess's birthday last week and boy did it get messy!!! Tom made her a birthday cake which was basically diabetes on a plate. We drank lots, and lots, and lots. I woke up with several bruises on my body (and face) and not much recollection on how I got them... This is not a smart this to do, please do not get so drunk you can't remember what you did! Turns out I had smashed my head into the taps in Revs, while trying to drink out of them in the sink... I'm clever I swear!! I woke up fully clothed in my bed and my mouth as dry as Gandhi's flip flop. I spent the morning trying not to move and when I did finally get the courage to sit up it made me feel 200x worse than before. We ended up going to Mcdonalds in our onesies and crying into our burgers, then when we got home we sat on the sofa and watched Supernatural all day. Didn't even move once!! 

We went to go and see Deadpool... OH MY GOD!!! This is my new favourite film (I've seen it twice and I still want to see it at least another 100x) If you haven't already seen it, go. Go now! Just go right now and see it! It's possibly the greatest superhero movie to have ever been made. It's so funny and even the intense scenes are funny. Ryan Reynolds did an amazing job!

I don't really know what else to write about and I know this is a poor attempt after not writing anything for over a month, I'm sorry!

I've gotten into wrestling lately. It's weird watching something like that after having gotten used to watching UFC. I forget that wrestling isn't real.
That's all I have to say on that subject. I thought I was going somewhere with it, but it turns out I'm not.


Anyway, I'll leave you all be. I honestly don't have much to say.
Maybe next time will be better.

New Year, New Excuse To Drink. Wait What?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Sorry. So, how has everyone been? Good Christmas? Did everyone eat lots and put on at least 9 stone? All the questions!!!! 
I realise I haven't written a blog post since last year. (HAHAHA, sorry bad joke, I know) But it's true. It's been ages and I feel bad about it hence why I'm writing this one now.
I have 15 minutes to write something interesting and then I have to go eat my besties food. Anyway, Christmas was good, I went to my sister's house for a few days to celebrate as my parents couldn't make it over and we were too poor to go to France. We had lots of lovely food and presents and watched films and lots of Only Fools And Horses. I now know a fair amount of the episodes. Thanks Sean! (He's my sister's boyfriend)


My sister got me a Harry Potter mug that says: If you don't get my Harry Potter references then there is something Siriusly Ron with you.
I thought that was hilarious... I also got a Harry Potter colouring book. Do you see the pattern forming? I think the Harry Potter tattoo gave it away. But you know, I'm not observant.


We watched Home Alone 2 and giggled like maniacs when Marv gets hit with everything. I somehow find that bit very very funny. Maybe that makes me sadistic. 
I went home very full, I practically had to roll back.
Then when I got back some of my friends had come back the same time as me so we got drunk and messed around with drinking games. We've started playing Scattergories but made it so we drink (surprise surprise.) It's so much fun! We play it all the time now, just because we can.

New years was good as well. A few of us went to Warrington to a friends house to have a party. It was apparently that good that a couple got engaged in the garden. It was very cute and I may have squealed at the sight of the ring, even though I'd only met the girl recently myself. I can't help it, it's the hopeless romantic in me. We all got very drunk and when the new year came round lots of hugs were given and lots of 'I'm so glad I met you!!' It was all very sweet. 
At around 4 in the morning we were waiting to go to sleep (we were sleeping in the lounge and had to wait for people to leave) but no one wanted to go. At this point I was on the verge of dropping. Finally everyone left and we each got our own sofa. Except Tolerance who ended up with a huge memory foam mattress!!! The bugger.

We came home the next day and vegetated for a good few hours before deciding it was time to start drinking again. I was a good girl and thought better of it. So stayed on the pepsi. 

Uni is going incredibly well. Well I've Just had 2 weeks off, which was nice. But now I feel as though I have to get going again or I may never get out of this hole I've created for myself. We have a new assignment brief which is super hero's and super villain's. I'm so excited. Like, I've never been this excited to turn someone evil before in my life!!! Anyway, ideas are pouring out of me and I'm looking forward to getting started.



(That last bit I wrote last night, turns out I ran out of time and I had to go eat)
Today I woke up in a great mood, which never happens, maybe the planets are aligned or something. I don't get that sort of thing. Yeah, so I got up and decided to deep clean the whole flat.... Yes, I cleaned. What is wrong with me?? Well for starters, if I hadn't have done it no one would have, which means we would have been living in our own skin particles for months. And when I'd finished that I sat down and watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer. 

Other then that, nothing has happened. Wait, that's a lot. 



Thanks for reading, I'll see you all again next time.
