ALSO

I never blogged about what it was like having Finbarr back in the country.

Well, it was lovely.

I loved having him back in Woking and in my bedroom.

We even had champagne on a pier on south bank. Oh yes.

Very sadly, he's officially touched down back in NZ now. But he pinky promised that would would see each other again soon, and I never break a pinky promise.









In other news, today was Alistair's birthday. Pizza Express, Becks, and British funfairs were enjoyed on this occasion! I met some really good people and went on some really good bumper cars. I definitely approve.

Today, I fell in love

Then I realised it was only because he reminded me exactly of you.

Then I realised it was you I loved all along.

Shortly before I realised it was just too late.

Easter

Yesterday me Felix and Greg had a wonderfully pretentious day in London, which involved art galleries, eating at the genius that is Leon, and watching Greg do a medium format shoot at Hampstead Heath (Which by the way, involved a trek reminiscent of PGL circa 2001)

Today I've been (slowly) trying to get all this photography work done as the holidays are almost over and I have just been partying this whole time.

This easter has been really good, I saw Bloc Party at Olympia the other night, which was just incredible. At their best for sure, I'm now excited for reading fest! Their set list was perfect, and the atmosphere and energy was huge, they really pulled off playing such a big venue.
Me and Rob were even guestlisted for the after party, which is pretty brag worthy.
I also saw Manchester Orchestra for the third time at the Barfly with Rob Lucas and Finbarr (we'll get to him later) which was lovely. We were gutted they only played new material, but as a live act they are phenomenal so they are forgiven for the bad set list choice! Plus the new album as amazing (check out Shake it Out for a taste - Andy Hull's vocals are wow.)

Also been to a bunch of parties which have been wicked, as well as one really shit one. On top of that, we've watched almost every episode of Scrubs and Friends ever. We're cool right?

As for Finbarr, he's been back in the UK since the 4th which has been super cool. He stayed at mine for a couple of nights and I loved watching some of my favourite movies with him (reppin' The Beach) It has been great, if not so strange seeing him! He's going home in a week or so though which sucks, but hopefully I'll get to see him before he leaves.

I have work tomorrow which is good. Why you ask, because my money is running out so fast! I have had to put driving lessons on hold for a couple of weeks which sucks. I really need to get my fundz up so I can afford to do some traveling this summer, pass my driving test and hopefully even go on tour with Terrible Lizard so I can do a sweeeeet BTS shoot.

I'm also going to Give it a Name (DON'T YOU JUDGE ME) on sunday which my 13 year old self is excited for, as Taking Back Sunday and UnderOath are playing. But even better, seeing 65daysofstatic again next weekend, which I am SO EXCITED FOR.
Also got Cole's party friday, gig tomorrow and London saturday.
But in the mean time I will be hoping I can get a shoot done on saturday and that I can get all my other work done as it is ONLY 8 WEEKS TILL EXAMS.

I am currently entering classic panic mode.



What a long and dull blog!

Why did I not blog about Barcelona?

It was awesome.
Me, Jade and a crew did tonssss of arty stuff, saw the sights and sat in parks, drank too much sangria and san miguel and pretended to be Dali for a week, it was amazing.
I definitely want to go back soon.

In other news I love Hamlet.
SO
MUCH
I even used a Hamlet reference in an argument today because I am l33t.

I also finished Girlfriend in a Coma earlier this week and it was brilliant. The epic speeches at the end were eerie and beautiful.

Currently tidying my room, slowly.
Finbarr shall be here in a week and a few days and I doubt sleeping on top of piles of A2 Politics notes is comfortable. Haha

Summerhouse

Last night Felix had people over for his birthday which is next week. The weather was good and we drank beer and played games in his summerhouse, it was lovely. Jade even made fairy cakes.

We also went to stock up at Tescos and got stopped by Deep Cut police cos we were coming out from the bushes.
Rob stumped them with his ID, and they didn't even ask for mine, chaching.
They chatted to us for a bit and then we parted ways, but just as we were walking off one of them said "Stay together. Stay safe." It was genius. Such a catchphrase. haha

Me and rob stayed at his dad's afterwards which was cool, although the cats were throwing themselves at the door that was separating them because they're unbelievably horny. AND BROTHER AND SISTER. haha

In other news, I finished both my scholarship essays and sent them off! So finger's crossed...

college tomorrow though, not good.
Although only two weeks until the easter holidays :D

plimsolls

today it was sunny enough for me to bring back the plimsolls, and boy it felt good!
It was nice to feel the world beneath my feet again.

I just finished the first draft of my Hamlet scholarship essay. It has taken me forever! But I'm so glad I actually did it.
Andddd I wasn't too late to college today - huzzah!

Tomorrow morning will be interesting though.
ALTHOUGH
me and Jade are doing another photography workshop with Nic the stallion, so good times are ahead.
Then a driving lesson with THE DON in the afternoon. Aaaaalright ;)
