Grrr

      Everybody has gone swimming, I couldn't go because I'm a lazy girl and I just got up!!! Grrrrr! I completely couldn't get to sleep last night, my back hurt and I just couldn't get photography and Francesca Allen out of my head. Silly I know, I just kept thinking back on how well she has done in Photography since graduating LCC, and the only thing that is stopping me is me, and the fact that I just need to work myself to the bone when I get back to uni. shoot shoot shoot! Also couldn't stop thinking about the camera I'm buying on payday, a lovely Canon T90! It's the stuff, really, has so many different functions and great reviews. But its heavy, around a kilogram. I am going to get two lenses for it and a flash upon my payday! And best of all it's all going to work out pretty cheap!! Ok sorry, not going to spent my post talking about cameras..
       I've moved back home to Cardiff by the way. Like end of June. I've been here for about  month, to be honest feels longer. I spend my days working (though barely, just had three days off), lazing about at Ewan's or at home. We try to do stuff but it's hard, I still have no money because I've been waiting for my pay and Ewan barely gets work from the agency. So we went to Barry beach, on Saturday with his mum Elizabeth and Jaynie to watch his dad Chris, who played jazz at the seafront. We ate packed sandwiches, dinky donuts, ice cream and drank wine (out of the bottle which Elizabeth was a bit outraged). And then Sunday when it was just really miserable all day, we took Jaynie to the museum. :)
       Other than that, the weathers been shitty for a while, its quite cold- typical Welsh summer. But perfect for indoorsy things, like yesterday I met up with Louise and we went to develop film, chilled in her loft room and then went for a coffee/hot chocolate at #Coffee 1.
       Well the days are kind of slow, and I try to do as many things as I can, even though I intended to do so many more (like already had read a book or two). I'm slowly reading. Slowly creating projects in my head. Slowly documenting everything I do with my Trip. And sitting on the internet. A lot.

      Here are some snaps from a BBQ I had with my parents and Ewan the other week, and the rest are pictures I did when I was bored at Ewans house.

Morning Confusion.

This morning I woke up in a weird feeling of worry and confusion. Everything is okay though, yesterday I managed to finish my essay which is due in today. It's not very good I don't think but It doesn't count towards anything anyway. I feel a bit nervous about making work though as my deadlines are in about two weeks and I need to do lots of shoots for it which I haven't even organised. 

This morning was nice. Me, Steff and Sophie all had breakfast together in the kitchen, then I showered and now I'm all ready to go to uni to hand in my work. This house is like music wars. I don't have speakers so I've lost the battle. Steff, Sophie and Robyn always blast it to the loudest and I'm left with a big jumble of the three. 

Tomorrow morning is my bus to Cardiff. I'm getting my tattoo finished! Very excited about this. Then I'm going to see my family for a couple of hours before seeing Fallujah in Clwb Ifor Bach! I'm missing university for this, but it's worth it. I've actually missed quite a lot this term which is bad but next term I will attend every lesson, promise to myself!

Here are some photos from my ASUS phone that I can treat you with. It's all from either uni or at home :)

This is Tori. She's form Norway.

This is Patry Mad-edge and Natasha, sleeping in a lecture.

Steff's brithday party at our place- me Robyn and Sophie had a little party of our own in Robyn's room.

When Louise came down to London a couple of weeks ago. 

After a trip to Photographers gallery and Lomography Store, we treated ourselves to some smoothies and munch.

Have a lovely day.

Breaking routine

It's so light outside. It's midnight but I could see my own reflection in the darkly tainted windows in my garden. It's quite beautiful. The moon is huge, the cats are creeping around the corners of my garden and the bats are flying in circular motions whilst the smoke from my cigarette blows always chaotically. Good evening my friends, I'm having a very peaceful time, sitting in my own bed with standing on the bedside, listening to Lady Grinning Soul. I have become obsessed with Bowie in the past couple of months,so obsessed that I hardly listen to anything else, well apart from Velvet, The Doors and Sinatra.
To-day I woke up downstairs after a beautiful nights sleep with Louise and a cat by my side. MEOW.I don't have a cat no. Louise cycled down my house yesterday and got lost in the horrible tacky roads of St Mellons, and I cycled for rescue though the horrid winds. We did a lame ass quiz thing on her blog (which you should check out, it's awesome click here to read about the life of Louise Lawrence ). Got hungry so we cycled to Tesco and got the ingredients for a pasta Bolognese with bacon.

-Pasta

-Onions

-Bacon

-Garlic

And BOOM! Mouthwatering.... I don't know how we managed to, but we put on Kill Bill on Netflix and watched the whole thing, it's a great film of course most Torantion's films are amazing. This is making me want to watch Pulp Fiction again... Anyway, we were so tired because the the night before we were dancing till about 4am, and then going down Morgs and watching some films. Yes that was on the morning of our sleepover day. I couldn't fall asleep at all when we finished Kill Bill, brain overheat I suppose.

But to-day was a great day. After Lou went home, I went to town with my family and we had a family meal out, and then just me and mum went to Diane's Vintage Boutique, got lots of things!



I don't have photos from today, or yesterday but I will pinch a couple of Louise's in my next post.

Ewan's away in France with his dad's band for the weekend, they are coming back tomorrow, cant wait.
Tomorrow we are all going camping! Should be preparing and packing my tents and by bags but I don't even own a tent and every other girl is sleeping with their boyfriend. Great, well we'll see how it works and whether I'll be sleeping on bare ground fading into the colours of my mind. Should be an adventure.

What does 'using your time wisely' even mean?

Wow, I'm sitting here in complete transs. This song, is just amazing... A new song by Velvet Underground-Candy Says that I've just only dicovered on a playlist. Yes, listen to it, and think. It makes me think about future and possobilities, which is kinda ironic, since I think that the song title hints to cocaine use. But somehow it makes me think of the things I could do with my time in life. I don't think we are meant to find purpose in life. I think that the purpose of life is just to live it, isn't it? I was discussing this with Louise, we had a nice conversation about it in the skate park, near my house, about the meaning of life, the way we spend our time, what we do and how we feel,  and what is the point of feeling or doing certain things we choose to do.

Today, I actually didn't waste away my time. Louise rang me and then came down mine and we cycled to Tesco's to get cigarettes. On our way back we stopped at the skate park for a while  just to sit down and talk. Later, we rode bikes down to Morgan's where we stopped for a bit before we went to Flower Gardens to play basketball (but didn't because the courts were taken) so we just sat down in the grass while Louise and Morg played football, Doob and Dylan were taking photos of each other and Josie was lying with her head on my lap. Such a nice evening. I cycled back to mine around 9pm, which killed me (yep, going uphill for most of it) and I stopped for a ciggie break after 40 minutes of riding, near our college- i dont think having a cigarette helped my short-breathness though. When I got home, and got off my bike I was so ehxausted, I don't know how I made it all the way to my house, high...

I really can't wait to go Camping on Sunday! Haven't been camping in so long, should be tons of fun:)
I've got some photos too. I stopped so many times in St Mellons on my way back, the sky was beauuuutiful!

My room at the moment. I was doing some drawing before blogging, with Salvador Dali's book open in front of me, waiting for the inspiration or some sort of ideas to hit me.

And here is Velvet Underground- Candy Say's. Listen.
