Festival Festivities

Yesssss, finally some festival festivities for me to indulge in.

Grassroots is only a small Jersey eco-friendly festival

that presents this cool,

'peace-out man' sort of vibe

with the reggae, acoustic, famous and non famous bands they get to play there.

The venue is small but the lineup was SO huge!

Jose Gonzales

Natty

Bedouin Soundclash

It was amazing!!!

Jersey really outdid themselves this year.

Being stuck on this isle all summer hasn't exactly been... exhilarating

but I have to admit, things like this are worth the 40 quid.

It was so much fun, far more chilled out than most festivals

so I just totted around bumping into people all day and night...

Freeman and Tiff decided to take a nap...

A classic side effect of drinking before 3pm.

The couple in the back were stoned off their faces

and the looks that my friends got were pretty hilarious

hahah stoners, gotta love em.

2 weeks - JERSEY LIVE 2010

Can't wait.

Happy Blogging people

Another Milestone

Results.

You heard.

You want to know what I got?

Am I happy?

Am I pathetically weeping at I type?

Did I get into University?

Ok Ok Ok

I shall tell you...

I am seriously happy!!!

I got into Edinburgh!

And I outdid my estimations by... A LOT.

I managed to get,

Photography - A* (full marks for the entire A Level) (Go Girl)

English - A (turns out my disaster of a RE-TAKE wasn't a disaster after all)

Philosophy - B (By this time, I was weeping into my certificates)

So yer...

pretty cool.

HAHAH I'm ecstatic!!!!!

Such a load of my mind I can't tell you!

I definitely shed a tear of surprise/shire happiness as I realised the grades.

(the actual certificates are so damn hard to read)

Plus the English certificate which told me my grade

was actually put into my cousin, Georgina Sutton's envelope

My school is shocking.

I would be blabbering on about how wasted I'm planning on becoming this weekend.

But alas,

I

have

tonsillitis.

As does my boyfriend,

Peter.

Quite hilarious really

if you think about it.

But also infuriating

if you think about it more!

I'm getting carried away, I can feel it.

Happy Blogging everyone

(Hope the people who got results yesterday are happy and smiling)

Ok, so it's a Filing Job...

What i'll remember about this summer:

Exams

End of School

Peter

Sunshine

Friends

Thai

Sea

Work

Work

Work

Work... man oh man.

Adolescence is hard to hold on to.

I miss the days when all I had to do was rely on my parents.

Nowadays one has to rely on themselves.

Got to get a job, got to make money, got to buy your own ticket.

In a lot of ways it's better; the independence, the feeling when you receive that first pay check.

In others ways it's just like...

'GOD DAMN,

WHY WON'T SOMEBODY ELSE JUST PAY FOR IT'

But right now, I'm feeling gooood!!!!!

I have just secured a job from September to December!

Ok, so it's a filing job..

Ok, so i'll be bored out of my mind for 4 months..

But fuck, I am going travelling for 6 months next year!!!!

Travel date: 26th of December.

aAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!

You need to meet the travelling ladies,

some of which you might recognise already..

Daisy

Katie

Tiffany

& Jess

India

Thailand

Vietnam

Laos

Cambodia

Malaysia

Indonesia

Australia

- some of the places we're throwing around right now.

December 2010 - July 2011

I think that'll be a summer I remember!

A filthy Rut

Hi

Oops.

My procrastination has led me into a rut.

A filthy rut which includes a CV that will never be completed

(this is serious)

and an accumulative amount of events and photographs that I need to share.

(not so serious)

(but still quite serious)

THEREFORE

prepare yourself for a lengthy post.

(which is taking me days to finish.. what is wrong with me?!?!)

(And yes, I will be using the number tool)

(And yes I know, I use brackets far too frequently and inappropriately)

1. Celebration de Masquerade!

I was asked to photograph a 21st!

The girl above was the hostess and my temporary boss.

I only know her through living on this small island.. so her asking was like..

SERIOUSLY COOL

and I was even paid..

Does this made me a professional now?

Yes, I think it does...

Being 'employed' to take photographs of people isn't all it's cracked up to be, though.

I felt awkward standing about, stopping people in mid conversation

and making them force a smile... it's just not my style

and all I wanted to do was get drunk.

But I couldn't

because I was 'employed'.

I did what I had to do (the best I could, anyway) and waited,

waited for the alcohol to be consumed.

(by the guests, not by me)

Drunken party goers are the best.

I ended up having loads of fun, boogying about and having random

heart to hearts with boys I hardly know.

OKOKOK so...

2. Meet Colin.

Teeny tiny Colin!

He's going to move in when my sister's friend moves in.. (another story entirely)

hehe, HURRAY!

3. REGSTOCK

Reg's Secret Garden.

Apparently it's open for viewing all year round, but I never even

knew of it's existence.

Daisy (left) and Hermione (right) took me to REGSTOCK.

The garden (you can tell by the name) is totally hippy, man.

But also kinda creepy.

BARBIE CHAOS

OH MY GOODNESS.

Astronaut Barbie with significant quiff

Bohemian Barbie

(what I look like in the morning)

4. The Beach

The weather has been pretty crap recently, so this beautiful sunday meant for a

BBQ on the Beach and a swim in the sea!!

ahh, nothing beats it.

Of course you can't have too much of a good thing.

My tyre popped, again.

That's the second time this year.

At least I had these two strong boys with me this time round...

(last time is was midnight, raining, I had my PJ's on, no shoes and no phone. I ended up sprinting to my friends house who lived quite near by)

RIGHT,

GOSH.

That took me frikin AGES and I've just realised there isn't 1

photo of me on here.

The birthday girl and I

- I had to wear this feathery mask which tickled by upper lip all night.

I shall conclude.

Apologies for being a rubbish blogger.

I shall get my butt into gear..

Chao Chao,

Happy Blogging!

The Curious Path of Delia

I started my blog at the beginning of this year without any particular motive in mind,

I just wanted to write,

share my photographs

and peer at other people's lives.

A while back, I decided to write about one of my best friends, Delia

(this post has been in 'drafts' for a while now)

who has just recently begun her blog, the curious path

First of all, Delia is my number one photographed person.

Not that I purposefully go out of my way to snap her up when we're together,

but it just seems to work out this way.

She must be the most photogenic person on this planet!

Secondly, it's not often that you find a gal like this one.

She surfs, (cool) She's actually good at it, (very cool) She's creative, loves photography (like me), she loves and appreciates art, she loves her music, she has an amazing dress sense and her quirky, yet laid back personality makes for an extremely interesting friend to have.

She has a tattoo,

She had a drunken lip piercing once,

She smokes, (which I do not condone!)

She's a listener,

She is beautiful,

And she speaks her mind.

The photo below was taken on her 18th birthday... in the taxi home...

Did I mention she gets more drunk than I do?

She's a character, and her blog tells you about it.

Go on, Check her out :)
