Female 26 and loving life :)

I passed my degree :D whooo

Falkirk college degree art show tomorrow 10am - 8pm

Our marketing department is rubbish and has not advertised it properly. Would be good to see some of you there :) tell anyone you know who lives close by.

Watched Earthlings the other day and it made me realise a lot of things. Its horrific to think of all those people out there treating animals the way they do. Well I made a decision to not condone and fuel this industry any longer and have now become vegetarian. Yes we were designed to eat meet but we were not designed to make animals suffer in such horrible ways. I love meet and this will be a hard transition to get used to and even though im only one person I can still save 280 animals a year from awful torturous deaths by being vegetarian. My ultimate aim is to be vegan but it might take a while since I dont like soya milk.

Forgot to mention Chris and I went on a tour round some galleries in Glasgow on Tuesday :) - Kelvingrove gallery and the Huntarian Gallery. While in town we took a trip along to Guitar Guitar to try out some Bass guitars since Chris said I could have one for my birthday :D I got a shiny red one, look see



Its a Yamaha and nice and light for my shoulder and did I mention its shiny and red :D

Its been a busy easter weekend. On Friday we headed down to Nottingham for Pete and Louisa's wedding on the Saturday. Chris had booked a hire car which was way to complicated for me to drive. My attempt at driving it led us up a one way road at a service station :S so Chris did all the driving from then on. The wedding was lovely and and the venue was too. I ended up wearing a very similar dress to the bridesmaids without knowing till we got there but no one noticed, I had toned it down with an ivory shrug, shoes and bag and didnt wear the ribbon that comes with it so it was ok.

On Sunday we headed into Nottingham city for lunch at Wagamama and a movie (rocking the boat, which was really good) Before which we went on the Nottingham wheel its really high :S lucky Chris didn't rock it.

Later that evening we popped round to Claire's house to see her new baby girl and meet her partner Pete. It was really good catching up with them since we never have time usually every time we are down that way.

Monday was the trip home and a stop of in Manchester on the way. The project im now working on is for the Library there so I had to take photos of the site and see the collections.



Overall it was a good weekend and thing are semi back to normal again.

Had arranged a Flickr meet over on the group I set up called "Historic Scotland". More people than I thought showed up to take photos on Inchmahome Priory so I was really chuffed.

We couldnt stay for very long due to having to also drive down to Dunoon. Wish we had been able to because it looks like they continued on to Doune castle where there was a wedding on.


It was Fiona and Max's house warming party in Dunoon. There new house is amazing! Its a flat with a downstairs and amazing views over the loch. It was a good night and after, Chris and I walked back to his mums(AKA my dads old house). Really miss doing that walk at night, I had forgotten how quiet it is along there.

Mum came to visit this week and keep me company while Chris was away in London. We had a pampering session and watched many films on apple TV :)

This weekend we are off to Pete and Louisa's wedding :) Someone forgot to get their suit dry cleaned since it was a mess and covered in dust. Lucky for him he has an amazing wife who remembered yesterday and got it done and fixed before they shut for easter weekend.

Realised my hair is getting really long again :D that didnt take long at all.

Metallica and Machinehead last night where awesome!

How cute did this turn out:



Its made out of plaster. Im going to try making it again this time without the air bubbles.

Went out in Belper with the girls last night. Was so much fun and guess what.. I got ID'd lol :D very happy about that. It was like when the wii fit tells you you have lost 8 years haha

I cant stand to wear trousers,
short
long
cord
denim
linen
buttoned
zipped
uncomfortable trousers.

I cant seem to find a pair at all that make me feel good, they all seem to soak up my confidence or be too short, too tight or too casual.

Give me skirts and dresses any day :) so why does fashion insist on creating tops that can only look good with jeans! Grrrr

Berlin was fantastic! Really enjoyed going away for the weekend with Chris :) The highlight of the break for me was the Jewish museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind. For years now I have wanted to experience the architects accomplishment to the design world and it was well worth the wait.

We also visited the Reichstag in the freezing cold snow



and this morning before we had to go for the plane we walked along to the Bauhaus Archive

( Read more... )

There was just sooo much to see but the weather didnt help with persuading us to walk far enough to see more. Would go back again in the future.

Donna and I made her wee boys birthday cake today :)



I think she has gone away with a good idea how to bake a cake now and we are both a little sweeter due to all the icing sugar we ate :D

I promised pictures of Chris' birthday cake so here they are -





Filling was amaretto sponge with amaretto cream and almond marzipan. It was scrummy :)

Like everyone els its snowing here tooo :D



Off to Berlin in 2 weeks with Brindy :) portfolio research ;)

Feeling a bit down this week, think its just that im bored and need a change of scenery. Doing the same thing day in and day out has taken its toll. On the plus side we went to look at dogs in west Calder today. Unfortunately no dog this time but we saw puppies :D they were so cute. So now we are serously considering a puppy instead of a 2 year old dog but cant get one until the summer when I will be around to house train him/her. Its amazing how hard it is to get a dog from dogs trust, they really do care about their dogs feelings and behavior's. It just sounds easier for us to just get a puppy, as crazy and backwards as that sounds.

brindy and I met 3 years ago today :) at punkpixieflem birthday night out at the Cathouse. Wow time has flown by really fast, it seems only yesterday we were dating. So tonight in celebration we are having a cozy night in watching films.

Entry 19th Jan 2006

"Met a guy called cris through jody. He is so sweet and makes me smile. I can actualy have a conversation with him unlike alll the other numpties ive met since alan left me. The only thing is i dont know whether im ready for a full on relationship again. He is everything i have been wanting and ive only been on 2 dates with him so i know this may go further.

Not sure on where my feelings are just now think there in manchester. You all say that i should just get over alan stop mentioning his name and move on its so hard to do that though. I woke up this morning and thought to myself maybe it is time for me just to be single for a while and stop thinking about guys and relationships and being lonly. After all im never going to be lonly since i have amazing friends around me. These past few weaks have been a voyage of self discovery for me and i need to focus on my accademic future.

Not applying to glasgow art school so if things did go further with this guy am i just going to get hurt again because i will have to move really far away. This blog is more a chance for me to get what im thinking out not really looking for advice that ive heard before anything new to my ears would be good.

Things will work out in the end its just a matter of persavearing and getting on with it so i keep telling myself."

Well looks like "persavearing and getting on with it" worked :)

My husband is a genius :) look what he did with my arty help - http://www.volantra.co.uk/ it was about time we got round to revamping the website and I love it now. Only the front page so far but the rest will come in time.

Finished my case study the other day and had it bound through a site online. It arrived today :D Im so chuffed with it and proud of my hard work.



Final hand in is tomorrow :S

Now onto the fun practical side of things :D
