Life Is Too Short To Live Without Poetry

so i'm back in london... i think i've fully decided that this is the city i call home.
i don't think i want to go back to Leicester... i want to run away from uni and rent a 1 room flat above a vintage clothing shop in Camden town and make crazy t-shirts.

since i've been home i've:
been to a gig
seen 3 exhibitions
bought 2 books
spent £3 on 2 cups of tea
had a hug from my mum
fallen in love with another stranger on the tube
gave directions
got slightly lost
been woken up by my cat
decided that 1 of my tutors really isn't so bad
discovered some amazing clothes i left here
and saw some wax being shot out of a cannon

tomorrow i'm going to got the bank, colour my hair and watch t.v
its going to be good i think

Today I feel ill.
I sweated through my top.

So, I started blogging on Chictopia again.
I'm not sure why because I tend to wear the same thing everyday.

What else do I need to say?
Oh yes! I'm being published in a Zine, Trouser Press. If you are in Cambridge please pick up a copy it will be free =D

I feel like a designer.

Because The Night Belongs To Lovers

so last night was the battle of the unis bar crawl; this is how it went

started off at Anitas:
drank a big bottle of WKD (yes i was on the alcopops...its bad i know)
ate pizza and curly fries

met everyone at Level 1:
drank 2 VKs-used the loo

went to Revolution:
had 2 mystery shots, 1 Vk... bumped into emma and friends

went to superfly, wouldn't let us in cos it was too packed

went to walkabout:
drank 1 shot, 1 smirnoff ice

went to varsity:
1 more shot 1 more apple Vk
got bored

went to zanzibar:
drank 4 more Vks, chatted to a moron, danced around

walked home, got high five from a policewoman, went to macdonalds, came home, went to bed

was woken up at aprox. 530 by neighbour who ressembles snoop dog, by playing music and talking louldy, which then followed by some very vocal sex, i'm talking bed squeeking, banging into the wall and the full works.... it was bad times... i should have knocked and told them to shut it

so i've been awake for about 2 hours and i'm off to make myself a bagel

A Couple Of Months.

I've fully just realised no one's taken a picture of me for ages.

My flatmate just said "I'm just a masseuse!" and it made me laugh.
Today has been so productive. I made pretty pictures that felt like leaves. I'll upload them one day but it won't be the same as touching and feeling.
I'm growing tiresome of the Internet.

Sorry for the lack of blogging.
Lots of interesting things have happened, but above all, the most delicious is the fact that I brought a new hat.

String-Along-Song

first of all i would like to apologise for the lack of blogging activity as of late
but we have been far to busy experiencing life for the past 4 days
this is just a short post to generall ask you all why boys are so complicated?!?!
i thought we had a good night out but apparently not
apparently im only worth a kiss on the cheek
and i havent even had a text today
but you know what his catch phrase is? its 'swish' this makes me feel a bit better
and my work is still lame
even though it inspired by this:

He's Dead! I'm Dead!

no picture today

right now i'm pretty sure my head might explode at any moment

today i am feeling overwhelmed

but instead of working i'm blogging... moron much

and today i was waiting for my dinner cook while listening to Anti-Flag and i realised that i am a huge contradiction and parody of myself

and then i stabbed a needle into my thumb (not on purpose obviously)

today has been full of ups and downs

Oh My Little Mocking Bird Sing

now don't judge me but this post is facebook based

LP- SocialInterview.com asked me "If they made a movie about EP, what would it be called?"
I answered: "The tortured mind of the fabulous!"

EP- can we make it a crazy independent movie that only arty people will have seen?

LP-yes defo see that would be fabulous. The kind of movie leaves people tortured, and in deep thought about their questionable lives. X

EP-i actually love you an epic amount right now

Evidently Not

"the sculpture of Cathy de Monchaux lodges itself in the psyche and refuses to be rationalised out of existance"
i hope that one day someone will describe my work like this

"she may share Georges Bataille's view that 'Of all problems eroticism is the most mysterious, the most general and the least straight forward'."

i would like to thank Heidi for showing me de Monchaux's work last year, it drives me wild!

You Said We Were Meant To Be

so today i needed a second hand garment... i bought one at the weekend so all was fine
until i got into uni and realised that i left it at home
so i ran back to my flat and then ran back again
and was still 10 minutes late
the tutor scares me
and then had a good rant about being late
actually fml

but i found some people to have tea with which is always good

out tonight... up early tomorrow... probably not a good idea
but expect a picture of me in a nurses outfit tomorrow

this has nothing to do with this post but i love it so much i wanted to share
Dali and Duchamp
quite possibly the best combo IN THE WORLD

Playing Games

what i wore todaythis is my form of rebellion against my new scary tutors and their crazy 'all black all the time' clothing habit

i was given 'self directed study' today so i clearly went into town did some shopping (window only!), went to iceland, did some washing and did a few brain storms for my project

so far my inspiration is tires, pigeons, double yellow lines and chimneys
now i just have to find a second hand garment that i can get to work for this
i shall have to hit the charity shops again tomorrow
