0023: Short Stories

So, apparently, tomorrow means approximately a week into the future!

June 21

I went to school carrying two guitars because I was selling them off. I ended up selling one that morning and while waiting for potential buyers in the school's cafeteria, I decided to edit the first chapter of my book/novel to see what I could do better.

No one came to buy the second guitar so I went off to start invigilating the degree show exhibition. I completely forgot that I was suposed to print something out for a friend of mine that was needed for the next day.

So, after invigilating, I walked all the way home, up the hill, carrying my bags. As soon as I stepped into my room I remembered. I was torn between printing out for my friend or leaving it and E-mailing her to say that I forgot.

I ended up going down the hill in the rain. I went to scholl to print the form out but turned out that the computer rooms were locked. I called two friends who couldn't pick up and when I called the third, I was absolutely drenched. My friend had a printer, I printed, thanked and walked home again in the rain.

June 22

In the morning, I woke up early. I've been waking up early for a couple of weeks now that it became like clockwork to just stay awake. I waited for some people in the morning who were going to come over to pick up my friend's boxes for the cargo and her form which I printed out yesterday. There was only one man who came to pick up the boxes and form. The man arrived at noon.

A couple of hours later, I went to school to take down the exhibition which had lasted for a week. I helped to take things apart and clear some space. I also picked up my results. I received a Second Class (Lower Division).

I went home a couple of hours later.

June 23

I went out to town to grab lunch but ended up buying drinks for a barbecue that was going to happen in the afternoon. I also had a quick stop at Starbucks and had a panini as well as a caramel frap. They were both delicious!

I grabbed a taxi to go to my friend's house who was holding the barbecue and found out a little too late that her house wasn't really that far from the school. It could have easily taken me less than half an hour to walk to her house but now that I know… The next time she ever invites me again, I'll know where to go. I had a good lunch, a few good drinks, mingled and watched an undersea documentary as well as the first few minutes of The Artist.

I went home, filled the bathtub with hot water and submerged into the depth of heated happiness while watching a movie on the laptop.

June 24

I spent today reading a book as well as having lunch with Maja, a Polish exchange student who I've been friends with since the second semester of the academic year. After the lunch, we went to a park and talked about random stuff. The wind was so cold and Maja had to leave.

I stayed behind to read more of the book. The day was still light then but the wind forced me to pack up and leave.

June 25

I spent the whole fucking day cleaning the house. All three fucking floors after disassemblling furniture.

June 26

People from the British Heart Foundation came in the morning to pick up some furniture I donated to them. They took most away but left the rest in my house because they weren't in acceptable condition even though you could still use them. They will not accept painted chips etc. only becuase it would be difficult for them to sell them. It ended up adding more to my stress.

The weather didn't help either so I went to sleep in the afternoon. I woke up in the evening, ate lunch and dinner, received a phonecall from a friend in which I asked for a favor and she agreed. I went to sleep again.

June 27

This is today!

I woke up from a very bad nightmare and decided that the way I could get rid of it was to run up and down the stairs, which I did. I also did squat jumps. My friend came over to help move my stuff to my other friends' house. We made a second trip to put stuff in the dump or recycling center and then drop more at my friends' house. I went home to shower and rushed to the train station.

I watched the movie Prometheus with a friend of mine and ate at Old Town Restaurant where I call the boss of the place Uncle. We caught a train after half an hour sitting in the restaurant with a full tummy and I got to rant to my friend. I feel sorry for her to hear what I have to say but she was surprised at the person I was talking about herself.

We arrived in Winchester and as we walked through the tunnel, a homeless person asked for cigarettes or change. We said we didn't have any and walked away but then, I had bought take away from Uncle's place and the food was still warm. I was a bit of a distance away from the her and shouted out, "Would you like some food instead?". She said she's not one to push away an offer so I gave her my lunch for tomorrow. I'll find something to eat.

And now, I'm home, typing away.

0021: End of May

Hello all! I'm sorry about the lack of updates this month! I've been so busy trying to finish work for my degree show this coming June as well as trying to get the space that we've been given a good clean! We're taking down wall and rebuilding them and we're like… PROS! It really but it is a lot of hard work! =PHEW!=

I don't only want to talk about my degree show as I've spoken about it in my other blog Studio Ingathio! I might update that blog again before May ends! But right now, let's talk about me! YAYe!

I'm well! I have a bump on my butt and it hurts to sit but it's disappearing now~! Too much info? Too bad! =Heh heh!= I also need to start packing soon even though I'm getting kicked out in the beginning of July! I need to fill in forms and stuff and it's really annoying! But I must do this! Or try to anyway~!

INSERT RANDOM PHOTO!

I've still got a few things to do in my list! Read more books (still reading The Stars My Destination at the moment!)and need to finish drawing the request art that… people have requested! Well! What am I waiting for? Let's…

//…play POKÉMON!

0020: Hello April

I'm trying to read at least 20 books this year. Last year, I wanted to do 11 but totally failed big time. I've already completed 4 books. On my 5th now. It's called The Devotion of Suspect X. I just started reading it today. My bookmark is a piece of tissue which I've written on with an introduction to a short story I'm thinking of writing. It's silly because I actually have a notepad… Which I used to jot something else down…

My degree show is coming up and I've been holding back on art requests. I haven't even had the time to do anything on DeviantArt which is bad in a way since I'm a staff member of a group. I should go and check up on that for an hour or so.

Easter holidays started early for us in the school of art but I spent the first two weeks working in school in the darkroom. More than a hundred pounds went out of my pockets for the materials. It's worth it, though.

My aunt came over to visit me for a couple of days I would have thought that she wanted to come with me and look around Winchester. I don't know why she wasn't so keen.

I went to Hull the other day to meet up with my little brother. We watched The Pirates in an Adventure with Scientists and Mirror, Mirror. I've a feeling we should've gone for 3D on the first movie but oh well. Other than that we didn't do much. He stayed over at my hotel room until late to watch some TV and left during the night. We also ate delicious lamb ribs coated in sauce. Incredible taste.

I went to Brighton after that as well. I bought a pair of purple jeans there and apparently, when I wear it with my white belt, I time traveled to the era of psychedelics. I spent a lot of my time on the pebbly beach there trying to create a tower of stones and pebbles.

Took some pictures on the film camera but everything got exposed and ruined. I went home after 2 nights and arrived in Winchester on a saturday just past midnight. Bad timing, too, because there was a football match on that day and most commuters were drunk.

I was incapacitated for 2 days because of the time of the month. I usually call it the demon baby because my cycles are irregular and when it finally comes it feels like something is clawing my insides and piercing me.

I tried to continue working in the darkroom the other day and print some photos but in the end, I couldn't. I was ready with my things, too. It wasn't that I couldn't. It was more, "Health and safety. I can't let you in." kinda' problem. The lights circuit got busted and so it was a safety risk. I know I said darkroom and because the lights are busted it's super dark. However, the red light is needed. You know… red light? Yeah… OK.

// Nothing to do here!

0015: Not Myself

There's not much to say recently. I did have a group show with the whole of second and third years in the Fine Arts course last week but you could read all about that in Studio Ingathio. Oh! My computer died a few days back and I got her back today! She had amnesia, though. All of her memories had to be wiped out for her to be able to boot up again. When I started her up, she was a total virgin. Now, she's got so many apps you'd think they were sexually transmitted diseases! She's also got a new face! Such a beautiful face~ drool.

Since I was happy (and needed to buy a belt anyway) I decided to buy an article of clothing. I thought I'd get myself some awesome blue chino pants but they didn't have any. I saw a dress, though. Not any dress! A sleepy dress! It's got dots and a little simple bow!

Maybe I should get a sailor outfit and a short jacket to go with it? Meh.

I've been trying to manage my time, too! But it's not working. Oh, well. I'm reading more now and gaming with time limits. Great, no? I finished reading the Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl. I wanted to finish it last year but things just happened the way you don;t want them to happen! And now I'm starting on a trilogy! I'm reading the first book titled Mistborn Book One: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson and so far so good. I'm only forty pages in but it looks promising!

//The world is full of color tonight! Time to dance under the full moon!
