May 2006

Such a long weekend, feel rather exhausted and in need of a good sleep. All started on Thursday when I accidentally got very drunk on some cheap wine and suddenly it was 4am and I realised I had work at 9am til 6pm, so I just ended up staying up all night and going straight to work like a comatose zombie with absolutely no hand-to-eye co-ordination. Not particularly pleasant. Friday I was photographing at the Fringe for my friend’s event (previous photo of Princess Knickers from there) and ended up not getting to bed until 5am or so. So practically no sleep for two days. Saturday was spent vegging around before going on a date! Which was… wonderful? (Oh dear, as I typed this I smiled. What’s happening to me..) We went to see Nerina Pallot which was really beautiful. Went for a couple of drinks and yeah.. it was just such a nice evening. Again, another very late night, only to wake up at 11ish to go working for a friend’s kid’s go karting birthday party. Ahh! Imagine it, me, with children.. like 20 4 year olds! It was actually quite nice spending the day with them, they’re so unaware of unhappiness.. just smiling constantly. Also very nice to get out of the city and be wandering around the farm. Then working last night for Playroom which was great. Another extremely late night (that went well into the morning.. ahem). I love weekends like this where I’m getting paid to get shitfaced and take photos of people just drinking beer! Score!

Go Karting!

I had a chat with B. Boy’s current boyfriend about the shitty amount of animosity I seem to get from him (and the clan that is the love triangle). Things seem to have been sorted as clearly there was some insecurity in their relationship regarding me being involved in B. Boy’s life (which I am not). It was nice just to talk honestly and attempt to amend what has been an irritating situation. Of course I have some kind of feelings for B. Boy, I will have for a long time, but they’re not feelings of longing to be with him at all and I have no desire to be around him because all he does when he’s in my life is upset me. I am really happy for him to be with his boyfriend, and even be great friends with my ex boyfriend (fancy that!) because I feel in a place where I can maturely get on with my life. I understand that people move on, things change, life rearranges, and it’s nice to just see him getting on with his life as am I. I really hope he is happy.

I’m really back into Martha Wainwright again and obsessively listening to El Perro Del Mar’s album (I saw them back in February supporting José González for my birthday). The woman’s voice is just so beautiful. I’m so excited about moving to London soon. I just have to sort out money for a deposit and hopefully Row will be able to hook me up with a job. It’s just going to be so nice to be living with two of my favourite people (that are also incredibly beautiful and photogenic, woo!) and have so many fresh places to visit, and fresh faces to meet. Been getting on really well with Katie, someone who I have known for a long time but never actually socialised with. It’s such a nice friendship that doesn’t feel pressured and finally I have someone dedicated to dressing up and trying out different nights, instead of the usual shitty places that everyone seem obsessed with. Here’s to a great new friendship!

This photo cracks me up. Retro hairdryer, anyone? Everything’s pretty cool at the moment. Lots of stress relieved after finding out that my late work will be ready for the exhibition down here in Brighton. Costing a small fortune for a small amount of work, but all is well. Got lots going on this week in terms of working/photos, so hopefully should have some new stuff to post soon…

Saw this dude outside my window yesterday. He looked so rad, I just had to snap him.
