Everything will probably be going up at once on Saturday/Sunday as I'll be able to use my own laptop at Moons, or at least a faster computer..
Don't think that I have too many worthy photographs for here, but ofcourse they'll be up on Facebook for anyone who does want to take a look.
Overall, disregarding the weather and coming home early, Guilfest was pretty good. However, adding the weather into the mix, it was definitely not even close to being as good as the previous two, and I was genuinely relieved to be home, not like other times when I've been glad to not be sleeping in a tent but sad about leaving the festival mentality for another year. Sadly, the sun is what brings that on and apart from a few measly hours on Friday, that was distinctly lacking. Then on Saturday everything was went and cold, which isn't good most of the time, but definitely not when sleeping outdoors.
I'm off to a barbecue tomorrow, should be good but I'm a bit nervous, although hopefully there won't be too many people there that I don't know, which I guess is what I'm most nervous about. I don't have my boyfriend to hide behind if the worst does happen.
I have threeish films to be developed, but I don't want to add even more to the work load. :(
I got give a summer project for uni today via email.
As much as I dislike "Summer Project" in the subject line of an email, I'm actually quite looking forward to doing it, and it will be a good thing to add to here.
The theme is 7th August 2009. Conveniently this is when I'm off to see Walking with Dinosaurs. But I'm not sure what my final outcome will be yet. Still, it will be good to get some focused work done, not just for here but to add to my portfolio. I mean at the moment what I'm doing is how I intend to keep things so it's good to be proactive about it.
And finally, I pose this question, why are some people so unashamed of things? I must say, as much as I don't approve, I do admire her confidence, maybe I'll brave a bikini in France. Well, probably not..

Indispensable.
I am currently hijacking somebody's internet at Moon's house. It's working out quite well for me, I am completely for this kind of thing. It's much easier than trying to guess Moon's unguessable wireless password.
Am currently listening to Barbara Ann by The Beach Boys to psyche myself up for them on Saturday. I'm off to Guilfest tomorrow. Hopefully it will be sunny, I was hopeful until it pissed it down half an hour ago.
I was sick of the sun and now I'm sick of the rain. I don't like to complain about the weather because it's frankly a waste of breathe but this country is quite annoying.
I just hope it's sunny tomorrow.
These are some photos from a disposable camera I used over a year ago that I only got developed at the weekend, and the last few are from my Action Sampler, which I've since learnt NEEDS sunlight otherwise nothing works at all properly, I suppose that is hinted at by the fact it's made almost entirely out of plastic. The ones in the light have still turned out pretty good though.
Photos from Guilfest will be up in the near future I'd imagine.
Recordings from the iTunes Jamie T gig are up on iTunes, and they sound awesome, pity the crowd are sort of fazed out, but then it would never be as good as it actually was anyway I suppose. ♥
The Maccabees for Radio 1 Live Lounge










Polaroid, which was cropped annoyingly by Moon's scanner :(





I'm taking film as well as digital to Guilfest so hopefully I'll have some nice film ones. I'm more into it at the moment, I'm thinking about taking some more black and white ones to develop myself when I get back to uni.

Myspace.
My old blog used to be awesome.
I think I wrote better when I was thinner, people get too defensive about things nowadays anyway.
"People" should remember that just because we're meant to be nearly grown-ups, doesn't mean that we can't complain, bitch or gossip. It really is fundamental that nobody forgets this.
I know that this is meant to more be a creative outlet, but I thought I'd mention that things used be better when I was able to say what I wanted without everyone hating me and turning. I should have made friends with the people I wanted to make friends with at Coombe, and I should have kept Lucy by my side. I feel like a bitch for not making more effort.

I need more creativity, I suppose.
I probably won't blog with work until after Guilfest (next week) as I only have access to the internet via my Gran's computer which is phenomenally slow and I get too impatient with it to ever do anything.
I guess I'm feeling a bit down.
I'm toning up though.

That was so good!
I'm not sure whether I'm in pain because of how much I danced last night or whether there's actually something wrong with me, my back kind of hurts.
It was so unbelievably awesome, I can't wait to see him again, he even dived into the crowd, I don't know whether these photographs illustrate it but it was a pretty long jump and he's a pretty tiny guy, so it was quite a feet.
It was a bit annoying that once again being on the right hand side of the stage meant we got less actual attention from Jamie, but then we probably got a better view and weren't kicked in the face by crowd-surfers.
The only annoying thing was the waiting, we had to wait for an hour outside before they opened the doors of The Roundhouse, then another hour until the doors to the stage opened, and then a further hour for the first band, Slow Club- who sound better live than they do on their Myspace, to come on. If they'd organised that aspect better than it would have been perfect. Oh, maybe if they hadn't taken our water away from us when we got in only for us to have been allowed to buy more water after that, that was pretty lousy.
I haven't danced so crazy in ages, there were loads of girls shouting about how sexy Jamie is, which he just isn't. And a load that had come clearly get a look at him, the girl behind me was standing still holding on for dear life to the bar at the front, she didn't even sing along and kept giving me astonishingly dirty looks, what a whore.
EEEEEE! It was so so so awesome! What a great way to kick-off summer.

I just purchased pre-sale tickets for the Kings & Queens tour. ♥
By the end of this year I will have seen Jamie T live at least 3 times, that's ridiculous, I love The Maccabees far more, but it's all good.
I'm going to try and get some photos developed at the weekend. And will take a load tonight.
I am so excited!
FYI, I have no desire to ever go to Glastonbury, ever.
