CupCakes

They look so fucking good.

(This is food post no#2)

Hummingbird Bakery

Primrose Bakery

I stumbled upon this blog Cupcakes Take The Cake. Just wonderful.

I should be going to London tueday for a We Are Scientists gig... I migiht pop along to one of these shops.... I was thinking of buying A cupcake and giving it to my friend as a early birthday present, the 'early' is because 1. Her birthday is on saturday, so therefore 2. I don't think that cupcake will last long enough to still be a tasty treat/present if i make it wait 4days!!! But then also, another factor, would it surivive the gig? Because i shan't be going home between the London and gig and i can't be bothered to buy another travelcard just to buy the wee cake and come back to suprise her with it. Though i just might... not that we're doing anything together for her birthday, i'm just that kinda friend.

And her birthday is like 3 months before mine. Woah. I'm 20 in like 1 year 3 months and 6 days? Roughly that. It's so weird. It's always weird. Soon it will be my last year of being a teenager and then i'll have to be slightly more mature and shizz. Shame i'll never look older than like... 14-15.

Ok, i'm off to do some work i was meant to be doing this weekend. But i spent a lot of time on the internet and did fuck all. Oops.

Need to add some stuffffff on my deviantART thing. Soon.

Laterzzz.

Nava Nagila

Oh yes.

This is why i need a job.

Someone on my course asked me about what my work was about. As in the style. I wasn't sure. He said 'arty graphics?'. Yeah. I think he has a point. I'm not quite sure the exact definition of the term 'graphics' in the arty term, but i'll agree and say my stuff is more free hand though than any sort of computer based.

Those two books above, are REALLY good for those who like the illustrationy styles of art. Or for anyone really, but i would personally recommend them to those who are into that kinda stuff. Like me. I still need to buy those books. That's why i need a job, or will have to wait for student loans and shizz. Oh my god, the little induction packs i'll get. YAY! I love that shit.

*Clears phlegm from throat*

I know, *gross*, but hey, it's got to be done. I'm still trying to recover from last week's illing yo.

I feel like i should post something. So i'll post whatever comes to mind.

Here are some photos from yesterday's Art Picnic 2 in the park and some in my friend's flat. You can tell which are which because of the transition of park to inside a room.

Ok, this first one is at the train station, though you wouldn't be able to tell.

This is what i was wearing. This is meant to be a fashion-y blog. and compared to the usual blogs i read..... i've NEVER posted anything mentioning what my outfit of the day. So it is. Partially.

Cardigan: H&M, T-shirt (which you'll see in later photos): Hong Kong, Skirt: H&M

My two friends vandalised the bottom of my converses without me knowing. You can see some magazine names on one of the shoes, i do read half of them :) some are nicknames and one is where i'm going in september!!!! But some (namely 'Playboy, Playgirl, Marie Claire and Good Housekeeping(!!!!!!!!!!!!)') are nothing to do with me.

By these two mischievous little bastards. They are rocking out to 'Dance Dance' Fall Out Boy, we were trying to figure out what the lyrics were off the tops of our heads, but we couldn't figure them out after 5minutes (not helping that we were also drinking - see that WKD bottle in his hand?) so we resorted to the ipod.

I know its a super bad picture. But this is one of the rare few pictures you'll see of me on this blog. Face picture. Glasses belong to rascal bastard no.2 (the girl). Also this was taken at friend no.3's flat. She is not pictured of this blog at all yet.

My short stubby legs and skirt. My phone. Some tissue with butter i dropped on the floor. Butter and plate not mine. Bread ended up being lunch. It's scary how much i drank and still didn't get drunk. There's always next time.

DRINK RESPONSIBLY KIDS!!!! I am old enough to drink :D but for those underage? Tut tut! Your times will come soon enough.

Changes.

I'm gonna try and make a few small changes to this blog.

Not that anyone will notice.

Oh yeah, those macaroons i HAD attempted to make from last post. So bad. So bad. I hand-whipped the egg whites. I think that was the main problem. Not whipped enough. They turn't into flat sugar biscuits. Not as nice as it sounds. Incredibly sweet on the edge of diabetes-land.

On wednesday, i had an 'Art Picnic' with my art class. Here are some of the pictures i took. I didn't take much, but there is another one in wednesday, i'll try take some more and hopefully i would've ordered my polaroids by then... they'll look really good.

Yeah this is what we art students do. Make daisy chains, doodle in the sun, chill and have piggyback races. That could've been me in the middle on the second boy's back, but i refused, i would break his poor back! And the second photo, bottom third of that photo, all that stuff including the yellow crayola flask(!!!!!), food, Vans shoes, drinks... ok.. most of it is MINE. Hahah. It's ok, i share.

This next picnic is me doing stencils and vandalising the world of Tunny Wells oh yes. Being partially inspired by The Cans Festival, the booklet thing i bought there, there was this double page of four pics, that someone had written something quite witty and funny, like on a wall or even the white boards you see in a London Underground tube station, the ones that say how the line service are....

Macaroons

I've gotta go sleep soon, but I wanted to post this before I went off:

Bokchoyboy - there are some really nice pics on there in general.. besides this one of course...

Food Network

MOMist - (i messed up the link sorry)

STOMP

Lalatine Gourmande

Laduree - Very cute website too!!!!

I tried to make the links as accurate as possible and apologies if not. I found these off google images so go look as much as you want!

Yes i dedicated a WHOLE post to Macaroons, or 'Macarons' as their proper names are. So pretty. I'm attempting to make some later, it's 3:25am so best to get off now and sleep.

Art based

Wasn't planning to post today without the photos of the Art Picnic coming up on wednesday, but i was just itching to post. On friday i found out about the Cans Festival not going to bother explaining the event, but for those who bothered to click the link/heard of it/went to it will see what it's all about. I went to it the first day it opened, took me a while to find due it being semi hidden - I went into a big circle trying to find the place. But i eventually found it after some help from the lovely people at the National Theatre Museum and then the cool reception girl at the BFI (British Film Institute) - yes i am that useless, i only remembered the address of it being 3minutes walk from the London Eye - well, more about 5? and the nearest stop being Waterloo.

Here are some of the pictures i took!

And cos you was kinda encouraged to graffiti along in semi designated areas - and i was LOADS of people with MASSIVE stencil and shizz, and i had previously used spray painting stuff in my work, i joined in a bit!!!!

The pic above is my contribution. I found that it's going to cost me money to trademark 'Sex, Drugs and Juliet'(insert copywrite/trademark symbol here) which sucks as i would've liked to see that it gets back to, i.e like my 'tag' or something, but i would only 'tag' this in a stencil way..

This one, say's 'Trent - PITNB', i took a pic of the stencil as the pink spray in general was fairly runny and eventually didn't make sense on the final outcome so i took a pic of it basically so you knew what it was meant to say. Also, PITNB is http://www.pinkisthenewblog.com/, i LOVE this site, and i'm on it! Well, my contribution part thing is, click here to see!

The yaht bag (Topshop shopper), stencils and spray paints are mine, the bottom left stuff are not. So yeah, this is partially a mini insight into how i work! So proud :)

I easily spent around 2hours inside there, including the stencilling which took me around 15mins. It was SOOO good. I would go again tomorrow, to see it all end and see how the graffiti got and if anyone WENT OVER MY WORK, which you're not meant to, but alas, i am low on money and i have so many things to buy, mainly illustration books. Will have to spend roughly £80 and then about £43 on polaroids... and then i have my little Art Picnic. Oh dear.

Oh, and when i finished there, i popped over to Urban Outfitters and bought the Crayola Flask i mentioned in the previous post. Yellow one. So good.

I so need to get the job. I gave in my CV on friday and am now going to have to wait. My CV was crap though and will probably try and tweek it a bit and keep looking for other places hiring.

Wish me luck.

FMP - part 2

So here is part twoooooo!


I didn't vote today. I kinda wanted to. But then i didn't. Didn't help that i didn't know the place of the school that was my local polling station. But so far it seems that Conservative is winning. Not all the results are yet in... but anyway less politics and more other stuff!



Yeah, these bad boys. Sorry for the badly aligned pictures, but really, this post does them no justice. Find them here from Urban Outfitters. Oops, it also comes in green but i just deleted the photo, but you get the jist.
At £8 each... not too shabby. But i need a proper job, i have a part-time job at my parent's shop, but that's not really enough and i only work if it's busy, otherwise i'm just standby and NO money. I can't wait for the busaries and the maintenance stuff. Yay.


I'm planning on changing my style. Like, lose some weight obviously, more dresses kinda thing, with cool tees and jumpers and layers and colour and ribbons and stuff. Cool shoes too. Customize more tees, plain ones, customize them. Oh yeah, the baby pics. I'm behind on pictures, on wednesday i'm organizing this mini picnic for my art class so i can take pics and draw - for my FMP - so hopefully i'll include the baby pics in that post...


This blog is a big messed up, quite scattered everywhere. I need to cut my nails.


So yes, i've written out my (badly written out actually, i've forgotten how to write them and my last copy went with my previous hard-drive :( RIP dearest hardd-drive) CV. It's not very long and there isn't a lot, it's not good basically. But i really didn't know what to write and i don't really want to be writing 'i'm a great team player and i can type up 200 words-per-min', it feels a bit fake writing that so i don't really want to write it... but i might put somethere... just a little thing.. but the sign on the shop - of the place i hope to work at, just part-time - says that experience would be nice but not neccassary - obviously not in the words of 'it would be nice...' - i have some mini experience of the type of shop it is as i as part of that industry in work experience in year10. Where some FAT humungous BITCH with huge fat feet made me cry! I was only on work experience. I should have said yes i work here, but as work experience. Grr her and that was like... 4years ago? Hahahah. Hmmm.


Ok, it's late. I'm jabbering and my bum is burning - don't ask please. I'll try and post the babies pics on sunday or monday otherwise it'll be something like thursday...
