it was EPIC

oooook!!!----so i finally got to see scott pilgrim vs the world, after such a long wait! so it was a rainy wednesday evening, i met up with my friends emma, charlotte and mandy. we went out for dinner, which was really nice to just chill and catch up. and as they love me so much, they came with me to go watch the movie. ah, i don't really know how to sum it up, but i thought it was really good. they missed out lots but of course they had to for time. i liked the fact i was a fan of the graphic novels, and have read they before i saw the movie, because i knew all the important back stories that were not really told on screen. cera did an amazing performance. cera tends to play the same sort of role, (i do love him anyway), however, he seemed different, and played scott well. the cast were awesome, and all really fitted their characters. i loved it! :) plus hanging out with your bestest friends makes for a fun filled night. oh and one more thing, alison pill as kim pine.......AWESOME.today after work i nipped out with my mum and dad, and did a little bit of shopping. a cool bag, a couple of cheap cds, and a PILE of awesome magazines were brought.

me in the corner

so life at the moment consists of work. i have been doing crazy shifts at work, and working until 12 at night moving the store around getting ready for the new season. its really interesting, and i have been having a go at vm stuff, and learning lots and lots. i am really enjoying it. apart from work, my spare time has consisted of making mix cds. my lovely friend charlotte has got me into making them, i am also having a go at making cases and cover art, so that's what i have been doing in my spare time. making a mix cd is really hard, the songs need to fit together just right to work. other than that, i have been getting ready for my sister's birthday, which is today. present buying and decorating the house for her bbq today. hopefully the sun will come out to play, and we can all have a drink in the garden in the sun.

just keep swimming

i had a super amazing time last weekend, at my friends. it was so nice to catch up with Claire and Laura and do lots of fun things. we went to a comedy club in the evening for Claire's birthday, it was so nice to just sit and laugh out loud, and eat lots of sweets..haha, it was awesome. just hanging out was really nice. its strange because we all used to live together and spend all our time together, but now we hardly see each other, and we try to as much as we can. but we have all got different lives now...its strange.

other than that, this week has consisted of cinema trips to see eclipse and toy story 3, dinner with friends, drinks with other friends, spending money on the internet, watching everwood and will and grace on repeat, thinking about my future in art, enjoying work, laughing lots, reading the last volume of Scott pilgrim, making new artist trading cards, visiting my grandparents, talking about really grown up things, reading, and tidying my room...finally.

..i need to draw more. that's my new aim.

nicola is off to catch her train

i am just off to catch my train to brighton. this weekend i am going to visit my friend claire for her birthday. my other friend laura is going aswell. i cannot wait for an awesome weekend. lots of laughs hopefully, and plus we are going to a comedy club on saturday night! i have my ipod ready and a book...so hopefully the journey wont be too bad.

life-like

(a scott pilgrim cut-out that was standing around at the convention...i really wanted to steal it.)

i have had a few wonderful adventures over the past few days. went to London on Sunday for London film and comic convention, and it was awesome! i met a guy dressed up as the doctor, stole a stormtroopers gun, walked past many hot nerdy guys, looked at stalls filled with comic books, toys, posters and other amazing stuff, brought American candy, FINALLY got my hands on a Scott Pilgrim poster, looked at old comic books, saw a few famous people from a far. on Monday i went to London again with Mandy for an arty trip...which i was very much in need for. i really miss looking at art, and going to galleries, i really need to get back in the mind frame. anyway, went to the surreal house, ra summer exhibition and we also went for a look at the work currently in the saatchi gallery...we also had enough time to walk past noel clark on the street..i wanted to go up and say hi, but he was on the phone, it was still pretty amazing though! the art at the saatchi i did quite like, because for some strange reason i really loved all these quirky little characters i seemed to spot, they started to make me laugh.

i think i feel a little more creative now..which makes me feel alot better. i had a fun day. :)
