'You look like a turkey...'

I wear a gold jumper and get nothing but compliments today- Thanks Marcus. :)

I am back! I have been without the internet for about a week and finally get it back :) everything is much bigger though :\
I have had quite an eventful week, also. I was crippled at my leaving do from work walking in stilt shoes- bad, bad move :( The event was nice with the usual crowd, but the whole thing was dulled down by the fuss everyone was making about petty change and how to use vouchers effectively :|. The night was also dulled by the amount of dreadful, dreadful people hanging around town- gosh it was awful. So many times we stood around wondering what was actually happening around us. FOR INSTANCE, an almost-dwarf woman (she was very small, but probably not small enough to be classed as a dwarf, but had dwarf-like proportions) laid down on the floor with her legs up, her 'friend' got on top of her in a pose for a picture and the 'funny guy' bouncer comes over and positions himself over the dwarf as if he was teabagging her. I couldn't believe it.
Horrible people.


Nicer things happened, like this picture.

I went for my 'first stage warning' chat with a lady called Abigail. She tells me I shouldn't even be thinking of a warning at this stage, I have no need to. Aparently is the rule that they check up on people who's attendance has dropped below 90%, so they should be checking up on most students.
Anyway, I had a bit of a 'bone to pick with you!' moment with Ian, and aparently Michelle did to, but all he had to say for himself was 'don't blame me'. He's the one that cooked up the whole situation in his mind! And then told my parents before I was informed :|. He's still a gem.


These pictures are from when we went to the park to feed the ducks with crustless bread, they seemed to like it... :|
Click them so they get bigger :)

Too much work, too little money, holidays soon!
I'm taking Sarah to see Pink Panther 2 because it looks promising, and if it's anything like steve's first one then it'll be wonderful (L) and we'll be laughing forever. We're also going shopping (because Sarah isn't scared anymore), and we'll probably havea meal somewhere too. Ladies who lunch... She's almost 13 and I like it.

Also, Mum and Paul are going to America in the morning :( They will be so far away and I didn't realise how near it was. They will be gone by the time I get up to get ready for college, which is upsetting.
I'll have the cats, mind. Pete will be bobbing around I imagine. Hmm...

'Buddies Bubblegum'

I have a slight problem with my new contextual studies teacher. Her job is to know the work of current and past artists and to teach that. She told me today she had never heard of Annie Leibovitz...

She was very supportive of my ideas :) she told me to make sure I have running shoes on for the work I'm going to be doing, because I'm not planning on asking anyone for permission to take their photograph- sneaky. She's a nice lady and brightened up when I was chatting to her, but she doesn't know anything!
She spelt David Bailey 'Baily'. Ohhhh Mary :(

I think I'll go for a walk and finish my film so I can finally get it developed at my only choice- Tesco. :(

There are some filthy, filthy girls at my college. *one girl looking at other girls phone* 'bit of suck my cock going on here...' UGH.

Graham Finlayson

I am writing out my fmp as we speak. I hope it's worth it.

I have had no internet for a while :(, I haven't been on here for a while and when I get back there are about 7 new posts! Gosh, people have been busy.

I finished work on Saturday and Kerrie said to be 'dont think we haven't got you anything, you'll get it on Wednesday'. Wednesday is my leaving event! That's a meal that I have to pay for, as well as lava after it. I have to stop myself :( Although it's nice to have a farewell! I'm unsure about this gift business, I don't want it to happen, actually.

It's Sarah Young's birthday on the 22nd. I'm very, very excited! I always get overly excited for my sister's birthday, because I get to give her attention all day without her getting out of hand and too touchy! I don't have her gift yet. I know exactly what I'm going to get her.
Marcus and Nicola's birthdays are also coming up, I have part of Marcus' gift already :D I'm pleased with it. Nicola's however...oohhhh!! My mind, my mind! I think I have a nice idea, whether it is doable I am unsure. I like buying gifts for people, I am just not very good at it.

I have a film that needs to be developed, sharpish!! It has pictures of the snow, and pictures from when Marcus and I went to feed the ducks on the park. It was funny because Marcus was running away from the ducks- gay. I was too, but I didn't have the bread! I hope they're pleasant pictures.

Graham Finlayson, FMP loverboy.

I have been doing experiments too much. It's making this happen ^, which is suiting to the brief, but not as aesthetically pleasing as I'd hoped.
I have to write my FMP tonight because I'll be out tomorrow night. :S I am definately going to document something. And it will be along the lines of Lonliness in the City...
I don't know. My options are way too broad for me to make the right decision :( Looks like a documentary mindmap is going to happen some time soon.

I'm going to see Verne Troyer tomorrow night, which will be cringe worthy but SO worth it.

I had to shoot the 'fashion students' work today and it was painstaking. Ypu'd think if they were the fashionistas they think they are, they'd have seen a few poses maybe, known what shapes to make. It was like trying to get blood from a stone. My face was aching afterwards. Ugh. People watz into our lessons like we don't have deadlines. :(

Funny Tunnel Slide.

Today was very, very nice. Waking up to wet ground and no snow was rubbish, but I remembered the drunken conversation my brother and I had whilst we shared a bagel before bed. It was a VERY funny conversation. We have arranged to be out at the same time and have a dance-off. It's unlikely that will happen.

In college, I did not much. I was too tired to keep my eyes open in contextual studies, so when I got into Graphics I went for some food in dalehead, Marcus was there and we had a nice chat. In Graphics, Ian kept the jokes flowing as we tag-teamed against James :).
I did plenty in the darkroom and secretly warmed myself with the hairdryer because it was COLD, cold, cold. Darkroom was really nice.
'Dirty, filthy, liquid emulsion'

Later, I went to Worden with Marcus and we went on the swings and the tunnel slide. I didn't want to do it, but it turned out to be a hoot. Marcus went on the zip wire and it was funny to watch him slowly fall off.

I came home to no electricity...AGAIN. Nothing fresh there, really. we lit so many candles that the whole house was toasty warm. I was loving it.

The physical impossibility of Ian

'shiz on my nizzle...what?'

hand, hand, hand, hand!!!

It has been a messy one. But I got almost a whole brief done in between everything that has been happening!

On Wednesday, I went to Lava with the girls from work, again. Liam was supposed to come but when we all went to meet up at Steph's house, he was 'I think I might go home, me.' OH, LIAM! It was quite a lovely night, we dance, dance, dance, danced with Emma Gamble again. 'She's got the moves, she's got the looks' (she has yellow teeth).
I ended up buying two of those silly picture key rings. They're both the same! The only variable is Jenny. Certainly a keeper, anyway.
After having a chat with two horrible, horrible, horrible men outside, Helen and I came back in. I looked at Nicola and said 'I have to go'. So we went. It was charming.

On Thursday I went to The Imperial for drinks with Marcus. We did too many jaeger bombs to mention. It was lovely and I was genuinely frightened I was going to wet myself on the train ride home. I just needed the toilet too much to move.
The next morning I was just hurt. But I got up at 6:50 to go to college. Bad move.

On Saturday, I was at work the whole day and found out there's going to be two leaving events for me! Ohhh. One where my boss is coming to Lava with us! Experience and a half, I imagine.
That night, I missed two trains, and finally got one. We went to The Railway, where they don't have strawberry cider. Peer pressure from Heath meant we went to the Imperial again and more jaeger bombs happened! BEN FROM CATS IN PARIS WAS THERE!! He was looking wonderfully pregnant. I felt in the presence of stars!
Marcus drank date rape beer.
Overall, a pleasant event.

Just, too much has happened this week. And it looks like I'm starting up another eventful one with the Lebanese restaurant on Monday!
I wont have money soon, so I'm okay with these happenings.

Mum: *changing channels on the tv...stops on one* 'EY?! Rabbit Chat & Date?' *girl with a dildo flashes on screen* MY FAVOURITE THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO MY MUM.

Another thing to add to this blog is that on Wednesday, Marcus Barnett was a sheer gayboy because he bit his hand so hard that he still has teeth marks on the skin today- Sunday.
