december 3rd 2002 i took my clothes off in a park and was photographed doing so. 10 sets of my own, several thousand comments, 203 testimonials, 300+ sets that i've photographed and 6 years later here i am still updating my journal.
do me a favour and don't read those old journals. it's almost embarrassing and i'm not even sure i'm the same person i was back then. i lived in south wales, i was in a band that seemed to be going places, i was running my own clothing business and racking up obscene amounts of debt. i was possibly the unhappiest i've ever been. and along came suicidegirls. i was a member for a few months until a certain person told me i'd make a great SG and that was that.
i've moved house at least 8 times since then (4 moves in just one year) and now i am thousands and thousands of miles away from where i grew up. i've travelled more than i could ever dream and i've met some of the most important people in my life as a result of both this website and consequences that begun with events related to the website.
suicidegirls has pretty much been the centre of my life for all of these years (not to mention my main job for over 4 of them). and it is pretty incredible.
------------
back to the current, i'm horribly sick again. i feel like i haven't been healthy in over a year now and as it gets better something brings me back to being ill. today it's the cold sweats, sore throat, aching limbs and stomach cramps. but you don't really need to know all this... i just want to be better.

and everything looks better at sunset
thanks for all of the birthday wishes, it really made my day!
