Howdy folks!
It's been a while again, I'm kinda not really interested in this site so much anymore. I find trying to start conversations with people very difficult, lots of insular cliques seem to exist in any groups and breaking them is tricky. So I shan't bother. I took the long cheap subscription so I'll be on here a while yet but it'll be the last cash I spend on it.
Anyways, I may as well enjoy the free bandwidth whilst I can, and the occasional bum!
College is now finished, came out with A grades for the contextual stuff and an overall distinction which I'm very happy with. I was in the end of year show and then selected for the highlights show in a public gallery in town. Couldn't have gone better really, though I can still pick holes in my work!! :p Defintely makes me want to get more going.
The thought of working hard enough to get a whole room to myself in an exhibition in the future is very exciting, the thought of getting enough space to work to the scale I want more so! Anyways....shmoozing...
Next stop Canterbury for the degree, a chance to stop worrying about day job bollocks for 3 years and concentrate on this and still pay the bills. If I cant get anywhere in this time then at least I can take a full degree, a packed CV and nearly 10 years working eperience in to the arts industry.
Been very quiet recently other than this. Partly due to a ridiculous bill for fixing my teeth. I'd let them fall to pieces so it's kinda my own fault, and partly poor genetics!! Still least I've started mending. Two more shitty appointments to reconstruct to go then some lighter ones after that which will be nice, much as I love having holes drilled to my jaw! To be honest I think I need to keep in mind that I need to start putting some pennies away as I can to cap a fair few of them, they ain't gonna last as long as most.
The Redbull Flugtag event didnt happen in the end, got to the train station with a nice picnic to find all trains to london cancelled and a 2 1/2 hour coach as a replacement!! As they were free tickets the idea was abanded, but thanks to a smashing idea I ended up at Bewl water - a local(ish) resevoir with assorted boating and cycle rentals. 13 miles around in total but we did less than that!! Didn't feel like it at times!!
And my comrade in cycling melancholia getting away from me!
Bloody good laugh, toying with returning there this weekend actually. I have saturday freeish so a few hours morning cycling could be just the job....Though I did fall asleep after the last time!
Today is my birthday, not that you'd know it, the downside of being a twin to someone who needs far more attention than you do. It's in truth disappointing sometimes that I dont even get today off the caring aspects of my day but I guess things could always be far worse. He loves it and that's what's important.
Booked up another wee trip over to Paris, i loves it I do! I cant wait to be sitting in a cafe in Montmarte in the evenings again. Something about that city feels very much like home, one day when I'm not needed so much here.....
For now I will go, next few weeks I need to wrap my head around some pretty big changes and get them sorted. New town, new job, new challenges, new friends and people....it's all very scarey and exciting in equal measures. I know i need it and I know I dont ever let myself fail at things that are important, unfortunately I almost always need a kick up the arsehole to get moving!!
Should work on that!! hehe! xx

I have a few comments to make on your blog today, which is really good btw.
First of all, bloody well done on the college work, a distinction is awesome, so well done you!!
Secondly, I know how you feel about the certain cliques on this site. I don't seem to be a part of them either which disappointed me to start with but now I don't care. The people that are in them seem a tad shall we say shallow? I'm not interested in that so I'll stick to the friends I have on here already, like you. I'd be quite sad if you left SG
Thirdly, I used to have an ex who had quite bad teeth and it wasn't for him being skanky, his whole family were like it - poor you is all I can say. Dentistry is sooooooooo bloody expensive and painful too, bah!
The reservoir looks cool too; I hope the weather stays nice for you the weekend
Happy Birthday to your brother too hon. You are such a caring person, it kinda restores my faith in humanity a little. I hope your Mum is still improving too love, do let me know how she's doing.
So, for you my dear it's all onwards and upwards
Oh, and enjoy Paris again you lucky devil!!
