good morning

went out for a night out with friends last night. it was lots of fun. didn't get back until early this morning..and i had this beautiful view to look at before i got into bed.
i went to my godparents BBQ party today, which was really nice. a few of their friends referred to me as 'the artist'- so that made me smile. once we got home i sat in my garden for a little bit, as it was really nice.
just fancied talking some odd photos today...well maybe not odd..just things that caught my eye. i keep finding little bits and bobs in the spare room..i found this cute little tea cup today. and also this little fella kept me company while i watched big brother. i have been given this beautiful award by from lina :) thank you very much lina!!!!i now want to pass this award on to Jane, Kay, and Sophia.

mr magic bean

so as i take apart my room, piece by piece, i had to take this photo. i feel it sums me up at the moment..i feel quite lost, and its not good. i will need to re-patch things to move on. nothing on the job front at the moment, but i am still looking. its crazy trying to fit all my junk into my room, although i have sorted alot of it out, so it can head off to ebay now.
i am finding time to write back to friends, and make little pieces of art. now that i have started making artist trading cards, i found these little tags, and decided to make pieces of art on them, just for fun. if these are a good idea, i may make more, but i am not sure at the moment. they have an owner anyway. :)
the sun is making me smile at the moment. its coming out. i am watching tennis. enjoying my mum's few days off work. and playing around with old water pistols. hehe.i found a little plant kit i got from Sherwood forest in first year, and i decided now was the time to grow it. the bean has my name on, i think its rather cute. i hope it grows well!!Mr labbit is getting bored at the moment, and i feel he needs more adventures!

goodbye to the city i learnt to love

so it was time to say farewell to the city i have grown to love so much. ah man, it annoys me so much that i have to leave my wonderful flat full of memories, with my even more wonderful friends, who will be my life long friends for the rest of my life.
ah i didn't like to see my room so empty. it have recently been filled with all my stuff, photos and pictures stuck to the walls, i will miss it so much. i loved the view out of my window, looking out over into town, which i am sure you have seen in other posts. i wish uni didn't have to end, and that i did not have to move back home. but before i moved back home, we had the graduation ball, which was lots of fun. i went with my flatmates, but found many of my course friends out. lots of photos were taken. at the ball, feeder, Calvin Harris and pendulum played. it was amazing. i was right at the front, which was even more amazing.now that i am at home, i have so much stuff to sort out. i need to fit all my uni room stuff into my room....and that is going to take some time. plus i need to find a job. aaah how annoying!!! i will miss my flatmates so much, we all wrote each other goodbye letters, mine are beautiful, and i will treasure them forever.
