I have some new pictures, some new pieces of writing, and I'm planning on working hard over the summer at both writing and photography.
And also reading everything for next year so I'm more prepared. Yay for british romanticism <3

Changed my major, so now I'm on a dual honours degree scheme, meaning I do just as much writing as reading now! HURRAH! If I could I'd change it to just writing, but alas not possible.

Next year I shall be living in a house, which is typical grotty student accommodation, ah well, it's going to be ace. I'm already working on the Jeremy Kyle shrine which is to go above the fireplace. Yay.

In all, life's pretty darn fantastic. Whilst the end of the year seems to just be dissolving into drinking, drugs and debauchery I have no doubt I'll mend my ways on my return to Marple. I haven't touched a drink or a boy since I got back yesterday!

So basically: Life fabulous, Marple boring, updates soon.

Hurrah!

Now my stomach's digesting itself so I must go and try and find some food...

Broke up with Matt which I'm pretty screwed up about. More than screwed up really. Am having ridiculously swing-y moods. One moment I'm about to jump off suicide tower, and then later I'm alright. As time goes by I'm gradually being more fine than not, but the not times totally knock me for six. I'm not wallowing in sorrow, I've been out partying and having fun. I love life, I'm really grateful and happy for everything, it's just I also feel terribly sad sometimes. But that's life eh?


Anyway, I have less than 3 hours to write 2000 words before deadline. It's the history of a proton. I've named him Edward and I'm quite fond of the little bugger to be honest. He's had such an interesting life! From being present at the big bang, to part of a star that went supernova, around during the Earth's development, then swept into the water cycle where he travelled around a few times before being rained on some crops which went on to make flour and then bread.
Yes I'm aware that's absolutely ridiculous. What can I say? It's Unigay! All of the questions were completely atrocious, so I chose to write it in the style of a children's science book to prove a point.
Talking of proving Unigay points, our presentation is not so good. Our papier mache planets look more like deflated breasts, and Jupiter looks like that crap half-human-half-dalek from Dr Who last week. I'm going to be so embarrassed when we have to stand up and present it. God.


As for my creative writing, so far I have around 4000 words, and I need 8000. Christ. Still, I'm extending a couple of pieces, and I'll have to write some new ones. Bit of a bugger really.

Ah well, best get back to Edward and the rapidly approaching deadline. Sounds like a crap band.
God I feel so nauseous. I was quite surprised to have no hangover after the shenanigans of last night, however when I ate I suddenly felt awful. I think I'm going to stop drinking until I'm better, because the alcohol's compounding whatever's wrong with me. Balls.

Gutted. Anyway, got some ideas for some photos I wanna take. Just gotta wait for the weather to clear up, and for me to bring down my altar candles. But I'm very excited about those, and I'm going to be working with one of the most beautiful girls I know. She's absolutely stunning so I can't wait for that.


Right now as I'm writing life's pretty lovely, s'been a bit shite lately to be honest. But I have great friends who help lots. Particularly Max the donkey who I petted on the beach on Saturday. Days out are very fun.

Am working very hard on my creative writing portfolio at the moment. Well I'm not really... but I've decided on two pieces which shall be going in it. The first is the 'Fall' poem which is on here... it might be called untitled still. I've updated that a bit but I'm still not 100% on it, it's about 98.5% complete I'd say. The other is an experimental prose piece called "King of Insects" which is very interesting so far and quite fun to work with. However, I'd say that's only 70% complete. I may add an extra paragraph before the suicide. Ooh it's quite delicious really. Sadly, those 2 pieces will barely reach 1500 words, and I need 8000 in total. I may submit some older stuff as lately I've been writing very typographical and experimental pieces and I want to show that I can write straight prose too. Hmmm, something to think about.


Well, I've got an oral presentation to do this week on Sex and Sexuality in Angela Carter's 'The Bloody Chamber'. Great. I'll come across as a reet dirty old pervert. Still, I should get started on that. However, I think it more important that I tidy my room. It's getting pretty disgusting in here. I am the Queen of Procrastination. Fact.

Still, just letting you all know i'm still alive and not working hard! Let's hope this rare moment of deviantART actually working will last a while longer so that I can finally get off my bum and update!



Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year and that!

Anyway, title of this piece - we had to write a poem in my seminar today, and I'm not exactly a poet so was kinda dreading it. We had 5 minutes to write a poem based on the word "Blue" and we could only use words of 1 syllable. I was quite surprised what came out! I'm including it here because it's no where near complete enough to be submitted as a deviation, I doubt it ever will be... but I just thought it was interesting:

'Blue'
In the blue room
I am cold and calm,
My head is vast and deep.
To die alone
Is numb fear.
Ice fills me,
with soft white hands.
I will drown in me
In cold quiet
No cry for help as -

It's a good experiment, y'all should try it sometimes, it's really surprising!

Anyway, must dash as I have a Universe as a gay essay to complete! Only the conclusion left, so go me! I managed to write 2555 words in one day with a hellish hangover. Well proud innit.

Eurgh.
Anyway, I saw Happy Feet and Eragon this week. Both distinctly average... wouldn't really go out of my way to see them again.

I'm missing everyone from Lancaster like crazy... it's really bad lol. I can't wait to see them all again, I ♥ them so fricking much!
Oh I've sorted out my house next year, there's a big rant about that, and a lot of shit happened which has made me really think about stuff - but I shan't go into it here. Needless to say it's sparked off a new period in my life. In short I'm living with my three best boys - Charlie, DJ and Lewis. It's gonna be sooooo good. Love 'em.

My parents have hooooopefully brought me a brand new, sex-tastic camera for Christmas, so there shall hopefully be some more pictures up - and ones which are a lotttt better than the shite up now. Winner.

Anyway, I'm cold and naked and gonna skeddaddle.

God this term's gone fast. Loved every second of it though.


Anyway, got rid of a couple of pictures. Would appreciate people looking/commenting the otherones. Bare lonely innit.
Allow haven't done my seminar work. Ah well, probably too late now... I'll tell myself that.
Massive essay due next week, not even started it... euch.

Best run. Later gators.

Aaaaanyway. Uni is still damn awesome. My god I love it. Shitload of work to do though... really should get started on that... nah, I'll just ignore it heh.
Couple of photoshoots soon, having issues with the travelling as I have no money and feel rude nagging them to transfer some to my account. Still, i'm sure it'll happen.

Errrm going home for the weekend in a couple of weeks. T'will be for my birthday, although I won't actually be home on my birthday... which will be bizarre. But oh god I'm getting old.

Mostly over illness which is quite nice. Hate being ill and I'm so very ill lately. Damn Freshers Flu.

Better skeddaddle off to bed... early lecture. By early... I mean ten o'clock. But hey, I'm a student!

Organising a photoshoot with a suicide girl so that should be interesting, perhaps I could use her to do my Silken tent shot heh.

Anyway, loving uni, amazing friends, would quite like my gallery to work pleash.

Edit:
Okay... so now... you can't even see them in popular. What's wroooong?

Anyway, I love Uni, it's amazing - have a really amazing group of friends I spend all my time with. We're averaging a bottle of Vodkarr a night at the moment - probably why we've all got ill. It's a hideous cold/cough McShizzle going on. And I hates it. What I don't hate is Matt coming up tomorrow, only thing keeping me going atm heh. Saw him on Saturday too which is aaace

So, had an idea for a picture based on Robert Frost's 'Silken Tent' sonnet. Sadly, I want a girl to model for it, and I'm only friends with guys. If I could draw I'd draw it. So this means I have to go and try to make a friend willing to be tied up with red silk and lie on the floor. Unlikely as everyone here seems to be a prep. Not met a single alternative type since I got here. Although it'd probably help if I got off my ass and actually went to the Roc Soc meetings. Vicous circle.

Anyway, I'm gonna go get back into bed and DIE before I go out tonight.

Later Gators

So, I move to Lancaster in 6 days. A pretty scary prospect. Not only am I worried that I'll hate absolutely everyone I'm living with or that they'll hate me, I'm terrified at the thought of moving away from Matt. Everytime we see each other lately we're more and more "in love" - it seems nigh on impossible for us to separate now Ah well, if we love one another it'll work, it has to.

Anyway, I've only put up 4 photographs so far. There's a couple more that I really would like to do something with, but as of yet I can't work out what. As in whether I should edit them or something. I don't know... which is a shame because they're really rather good.

Hmmm I really should get packing. But instead I'm going to watch the X-factor I taped, possibly play Sims 2 or do some more writing. Ah my life is SO exciting.

Bleh don't want to move I'm sure I'll love it when I'm there... I'm just not great with change.

So, have put up 4 photos so far. Kinda lazy so am working through the shots at an obscenely slow pace. Put up 2 scraps - pictures I liked but which weren't as good as the other shots. I also have 3 really good shots but I don't know what on earth to do with them. Garr.

Anyway, it's 3am on Monday which means 12 days until I move out. Scary stuff. Being out on my own.... eep. ]]> ~RapturedSaint http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10087041/ http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10087041/ Sat, 16 Sep 2006 02:39:38 PDT Mood:

Well a lot of my friends are moving this weekend, that's a bit of a bummer. One of the bad sides about the fact I don't move until way after everyone else. I think Kate's around until I go though which is good. Matt'll be working loads (If he sorts out his boss sexually harassing him. Yeah I'm annoyed about it lol. But I'm dead proud with how professional he's being and how he stood up for himself!) so I won't get to see him enough... but then... I never see him enough .

Garrr I don't wanna go to work.

Anyway, I'm slooowly sorting through the photos from the shoot. Only put 2 up because I keep getting distracted. So far I adore the picture "The Lovers" but there's a couple of other crackers in there which I can't wait to sort through and put up! Again, a big thanks to ~drug-rape - hope your move goes smoothly chick and that your piercing doesn't hurt too much! ]]> ~RapturedSaint http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10067590/ http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10067590/ Thu, 14 Sep 2006 06:51:15 PDT Mood:

Well the fates have conspired against me and sent the first horrible day in a week. Thunderstorms, torrential downpour and the like. Garrr. This means I've had to cancel zee photoshoot with Jane ~drug-rape That's annoyed me. Humph.

I move out 2 weeks on Saturday - I well should buy stuff and sort myself out. *Lazeh*
All my friends go this week or next. So I feel quite left behind right now (To be fair not as much as Matt does).

Anyway, m'off to the pub later. If people are lucky I might put some normal clothes on and no longer be a pirate.

Went to the graveyard to scout it out and took a few (A few... read: 86) pictures. Some of them have come out really well! Can't wait to put them up!
Also, I well caught a ghost lol. Next to one grave there's a see-through blue figure shaped smudge. Probably just my shakey-caffiene-fuelled camera work but hey! It's pretty good.
Anyway, I've found some great places for the shoot later this week, and have a couple of ace ideas for them!

So yeah, some ace photos there - big thanks to Muckerz for ferrying me there and carrying all my stuff!
Oh and for volunteering to wrap rusty barbed wire around his arm! ]]> ~RapturedSaint http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10035363/ http://RapturedSaint.deviantart.com/journal/10035363/ Mon, 11 Sep 2006 03:45:43 PDT
Anyway, somewhat annoyed because Dad's moved the cable thinger for zee digital camera, so I have no way of getting my pictures off there. No worries really - camera's shite so yeah... wish I had a good one.
Was also meant to go out and check my locations today, plan some shots etc. However, I overslept and now don't have time to get there, take some shots and get back before Monsieur Luke comes over for me to cut his hair. So grrrr.

But yaaaay I have a model! So am the uber happy right now! Tis Jane and she'll be all perfect! Anyway, she's on this shizzle as drug-rape (Not drunk rape as I almost put), but I can't link or anything... so yeah. Find her and look at her stuff!

Errr bouncy castle party tonight. Woop!


EDIT:
Whoop. Getting a lift up the graveyard so now I have time to take some shots, test out lighting etc. Hurrah! ]]> ~RapturedSaint
