OK, so here's a picture of Cap'n Jack Sparrow-Catcher
He is so adorable!!! We just got him his first collar and he's spent the last 5min chasing the bell on it, and there are no signs of him calming down anytime soon
My big bro is comin over soon and I'll be borrowing his camera for a while, so I'll soon have plenty of pics to show you all...I can't wait to get back into my photography, even if it is just a basic digital camera.
Hope everyone is well, and doesn't get froze or burnt, or freezer-burnt
(depending on where you are in the world)

(depending on where you are in the world) I have two new distractions
mttttrtttttttr - a KITTEN!!!!!! He's beautiful and fluffy and currently going nuts stalking a fly Since this is a pirate household, we named him (what else?) Cap'n Jack Sparrow-Catcher Jack is dark grey and white, with grey-green eyes, eyeliner and black lips. I'll post a pic as soon as I get one. I've wanted a kitten for years, but have never been allowed one (landlords, allergic flatmates etc), but I fell in love with him (he picked me) and had to call the landlord immediately to beg, though he was pretty sweet about it all. So YAY for Jack
Distraction #2 - a new toy boy. He's tall, thin and sexy, with big feet, and he's completely crazy (how many sane guys clean your garage for something to do?) but hey, who am I to complain? It's a very welcome distraction from the heartbreak of my last relationship...

Im depressed. Yes there are reasons, but I shant go into them now, beyond saying that everything always seems to crash down around me all at the same time.My love life (or lack thereof) is up shit creek, Im about to have an operation that will either be "not so bad" or "fucking terrible for months" according to someone whose had the same op three times, and I still dont know when I'll be starting work.
The only "silver lining" on this cloud is the fact that I'm shooting another set this Sat (Friday by most of your time). This time I have a makeup artist and will be shooting in a studio, so there's no reason for the lighting or makeup to be off - I just hope it doesnt come off as being too fake. What I liked about my first set was that it was all natural - we found the location, didnt need to do anything to it, and used natural lighting, so it'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.
Tanks for listening

I've been meaning to write a nice long blog all about my summer so far, but considering something's fucked up, SG will no longer allow me to upload photos from my cellphone, so there's no way of showing you all how beautiful some days have been. So here is the alternative...
Any takers?
For once in my life, I actually have a plan for the next year of my life. I've never planned that far ahead, the furthest would be 6mths and even then, it wasn't me that came up with the plan. And though this one also seemed to fall into place by itself (at least the start of it), it's still MY plan. I cant believe how easily everything seems to be falling into place, even though Ive been struggling for the last few months.
As most of you know, Im currently unemployed - have been since I got sick in July. I got better then flipped out on accounta the meds I was on for an unrelated health condition. Which is why it took me so long to recuperate enough to start looking for another job. So Ive been looking hard the past month or so, but nothing has eventuated. I realise that the main reason people are hesitant is my pink hair, but as I kept telling potential employers - "if it's a problem, I can dye it back to my natural blonde no problem". Funny how people conveniently forget probably the most important thing I tell them tht could get me the job. My photographer friend is expanding his IT company and will need a receptinist/secretary in th new year but I wasn't prepared to wait that long barely surviving on $200pw.
That was until the phone rang at 7:45am Wednesday. It was the hospital, letting me know that I'll finally be gettng the operation I've been waiting for (for the afore-mentioned health condition) since June in January. So even if I did somehow miraculously get a job before Christmas, chances are they wouldn't give me enough time off to properly recover from said operation. So it works out well.
Hence everything falling into place and a plan evolving. I'll just not buy any presents this year, apart from $2 shop gifts for my little siblings and chocolate for my mummy, spend NYE at home with friends, and not do anything remotely fun unless someone else can pay, and wait until my operation. Recover with friends then start work in February.
Then I continue to not do anything fun, and save up as much money as possible so I can move to Australia as soon as possible
Thanks for listening to my rambles

Hey everyone, thanks for all your support Audition went well, job interview went even better, so fingers crossed.
I was s'posed to be shooting right now, but unfortuntely, Rob is with other work, so we've had to reschedule til Tuesday. But this time I've warned him that I won't accept any excuses. It's not the money I'm concerned about, it's the creative aspect I miss, and with me hopefully getting back into full time work, we won't have as many chances to shoot.
I had hoped to be able to post more pics, but obviously, the modelling ones I haven't got yet, and for some reason I'm having trouble posting my phone pics ASAP promise
I hope someone out there is enjoying the weather, it's all grey and wet here, and it's supposedly summer

It's supposedly the last day of spring and its raining. Not pissing down rain, just lots of low cloud and constant light rain, the kind that would be nice and refreshing if it was hot, but as its not, is just depressing. It just makes me think of sunny days on the Gold Coast with my man. It doesnt help that if he was still in NZ, he would've just come home from work and be all cuddly, ready to enjoy a whole lazy weekend together, complete with breakfast in bed and naked afternoon naps...even after almost a month apart, it still feels like we only said goodbye last night...
In other, less depressing, news, I just scored me an interview for an assistant managers position at a clothing store in he local mall. As much as I detest and abhor malls, this one is in walking distance from my house, and I have friends that work in there as well. And assistant manager is a big step up for me who has no managerial experience at all. I do however have common sense and that often means more than experience. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed, I really hope I get it - I've been unemployed for too long now

OK guys, bear with me, this is going to be quite a rant...
So I'm checking my facebook today (who isn't on facebook these days?) and notice that my agents (Im an aspiring actress) have FINALLY put up pictures of all us women (the men have been on there for months, and there's even a fancy slide show of them). So I check it out, as you do. I'm about half way through (we're alphabetically ordered) and it's quite a good picture, I must say. "So why the rant?" I hear you asking. Well, it's simple - they made a mistake NO agent should make, no matter how many people they have on their books (this, incidently is why I chose this particular agency - they are small, and I didn't want to get lost in the cracks of a large one) THEY GOT MY FUCKING NAME WRONG!!!!!!!
Aparently, I'm one of TWO Jessica Swedens they hve, and the only similarities I can see between us is the fact that we are both blonde - WTF????? So I put a rather tame comment (this is not Jessica Sweden - this is me, J------ C-----------) and will be calling them up on Monday to ask then what the hell went wrong, and how they could possibly not recognise me, when they only have 55 women on their books.
If that's the way they treat their actors, I'd rather not have them for my agents.
PS: still no luck uploading that pic of my purple hair
