Ok its not the most steady job in the world but I managed to get a modelling gig. Its working for a promotional thing called "Rock Chic" aimed at encouraging more girls to play guitars. The woman organising it is, older admittedly but really fun and cool and young at spirit so I get along well with her. I haven't done a shoot yet but I think its something I'm going to enjoy doing. As an added bonus I think Jake will like it too.
Even though I intend to move out in a couple of months, I'm very bored of my bedroom at home. Its become less of a home for me and more of well, I suppose it looks like an attic. A random assortment of posessions strewn all over the place. I think I need to clear out a lot of my stuff, much of it I don't know why I keep because its junk. And many of it holds bad memories. Well, I suppose good memories; just of people I no longer speak to. Anyway .... a cream room with one bold red wall behind the bed I think will be more modern, and older.
This was one of the first things I did when I came home from university. Emptied my wardrobe and drawers onto the bed and just looked at all the clothes there. There was literally hundreds. I kept most of my dresses, just because I have a particular fondness for pretty much all of them. I was more ruthless with the rest though, there were tops in there I've been wearing since I was 14. They went. Things that were gorgeous that didn't fit anymore, things that did fit but I never really wear. I emptied them out, and the space it made is refreshing!!
This is actually quite a hard challenge given that I'll pretty much try anything once. I'd had squid, frogs, deer, allsorts of meats, organs, seafood, fruits. So anyway I tried some dragonfruit for the first time. It was alright tbh, not amazing but not horrible.
I ended up in Djangoes Riff a few weeks ago. Contrary to most peoples opinions, I don't like Django's. Its not my sort of music. Its expensive. And I've had one to many experiences of accidently ordering a cocktail containing milk and ending up spewing it out my nose. However, I ordered a 'Hello Sailor' and actually enjoyed it so I suppose my experience has improved somewhat. I do intend to go to Wetherspoons soon though and try a Cherry Orchard; apple and cherry sourz with lemonade and something else... sounds nice!!
Not quite writing; but I have started regularly emailing and Skyping family over in Ireland, Spain and Australia. In the emails I try and include pictures too, since the last time some of my family saw me I was much younger.
Facebook is the king of doing this. As well as using it to speak to my actual current friends, I try make a point of writing on old friends walls, seeing what they're up to and making a point of letting them know when I'm going out so if they're out we can meet up. I think looking at some other people its kind of sad what happens, people who you once used to hug goodbye everyday at school, but now if you walked past them on the street you wouldn't even acknowledge them. I guess in some ways its human nature but it is still upsetting.
Ok so I've only started doing this more recently but it's getting there. I think I either want a DSLR camera; or a keyboard. Practically I think a camera would be better, takes up less space and I'd probably get more use out of it, but I'll wait til I've actually collected a fair amount before deciding, and you never know by then I might want something else anyway!
Jake's 21st was a good night, and as far as I'm aware he did enjoy it. He was very drunk (and very hungover the next day) ... but all his friends and family came, and he seemed to have a good night.
