Bed bound

I have spent pretty much two days in bed feeling sorry for myself. I missed uni today as I couldn't get up, but my friend has taken notes for me and I found out we are going to Amsterdam next year on a trip! :)
I've managed to eat some food but I still don't feel 100%. But at least I've been all cosy and wrapped up in bed. Ian's coming back here tomorrow evening and I can't wait to see him, I just want a hug, I'm sure it will make me feel tonnes better :)

Home alone

Saturday during the day I did very little. In the evening however Jess and Hannah came to mine and we had a chat before departing to the Met as Jade and Becky were back from uni. We drank a lot, Jess got very drunk and many funny photos were taken.

I then left to meet Ian at the Load. He was also incredibly drunk so we had an interesting walk home and then passed out as soon as we got in.
Sunday morning my parents left to stay in Bristol for a few days so the house was mine! Ian and I watched Harry Potter and True Lies and then went to his for a wonderful roast his mom cooked :)
Monday at uni was pretty fun and then Cat came back and stayed at mine. She was feeling pretty down and alone and I wanted the company so offered if she wanted to stay. I cooked us chicken kievs for dinner and then we went to the Load for the evening. Dain and Murray were there and we drank so much, Cat slaughtered Dain at a card game called Speed.
In the morning we couldn't really drag ourselves out of bed in time so we got into uni late, although I didn't miss much.
When I got home I made myself some dinner and then looked forward to a nice relaxing evening on the sofa. However my immune system decided to ignore my plans and make me feel like crap. I spent the entire night waking up in a hot sweat, running to the toilet to chuck my guts up and then crawl back to bed. I have no energy at all and I feel so terrible. I'm so tired but I can't sleep and I can't hold down any food, not ever tea!!! :(

Barbie hoes and G.I Joes

Yesterday at uni very little happened. I came home early as I had no inspiration or ideas and I wanted to get ready for the night ahead.
I had a bit of dinner and then painted my nails bright pink, I caked myself in thick mascara and eyeshadow, as you see I was dressing up as a barbie hoe :)
After meeting Cat in Wycombe we went to the SU which was dead but luckily it quickly filled up :)
It was yet another great night drinking cream egg shots and snakebites, having random questions asked to us and raving to a nice bit of dirty dub step :)

Looking forward to Halloween

Halloween is definitely my favourite holiday, even more than Christmas! You get to dress up, eat loads of sweets and pumpkin pie :)

I'm really struggling to find an outfit for the occasion, I'm thinking maybe a fairy or a vampire but not sure yet.
All I have done today is work. I have done so much book work. It's about time though and I'm glad that now my book now resembles an art sketch book.

A day with Jess

(Hannah Metz)

After having a nice lie and doing some jobs for my mom this morning I decided to make homemade burgers. It was amazing, it had loads of cheese, lettuce and tomato sauce, yummy! Jess then came round and we drank loads of tea and had a good ol' chat :)
We then watched Spy kids and the mask of Zorro as she had never seen it! We just perved over Antonio Banderas.
I made us some dinner before we departed to go to the cinema. We got half way to Uxbridge before I realised I had forgotten my phone and we needed it as it had the Orange Wednesday code on it. So we had to walk all the way back to get it and then back to Uxbridge. The original plan was to get the tickets, got to Iceland and laugh at Hannah in her Iceland uniform, buy some sweets and go to see the Social network. Unfortunately, due to my stupidity of leaving my phone at home, we were running late. By the time we eventually got our tickets we headed to Iceland which was closing just as we got there. So instead we waved at Hannah through the window like a goon and then went to Poundland to buy cheap sweets. The film was really good! I can't quite put my finger on what it was about it, but it was good and I definitely recommend watching it. As soon as I got home, I checked Facebook :)

A weekend in Reading

I spent Friday- Sunday in Reading with the wonderful Ian. After uni on Friday I went home, got my stuff and headed to the train station. On arrival Ian met me and we walked back to his where we promptly ordered Domino's pizza as I was starving and we spent the night watching the recent episodes of Castle and Fringe. The next day we stayed in bed watching films and drinking tea until 4ish when we dragged ourselves out the house and went to the cinema to see Despicable me. Ever since we saw the advert we wanted to see it so I was very excited. It didn't disappoint, it was so cute and funny and I loved it :)
When the film finished Ian and I found a dwelling that served alcohol and was soon joined by Louisa and Lawson. The night was brilliant, drank lots of alcohol, many funny photos were taken and it was great to see Louisa again.


Sunday, Ian and I had a nice lie in and again spent the majority of the day watching film. We had fajitas for dinner and watched the Cube with his housemates.
It was then sadly time for me to go. I got so so upset as I really didn't want to leave him. It was such a good weekend and I already miss having him near. Hopefully I should see him soon but just like knowing I can go to him if somethings wrong or if I just want a hug, a phone call just doesn't satisfy that :(
Yesterday and today have been spent at uni, nothing much exciting has happened. Cat got her ear pierced again today so I went along with her while she got it done and it looked so painful. Really considering getting my nose done but I know my parents would murder me, but I'm definitely getting my tattoo after my birthday!
I'm doing 3D design now and I'm quite enjoying it, it's a bit hard to come up with ideas but I didn't have very good materials to work with but I think they turned out ok. Have to do some book work on my days off as it's looking pretty bare at the moment :/

Days off

My days off have been rather splendid. Yesterday I did quite a bit of work for uni, I did some drawings, book work and some cutting out. I drank lots of tea and watched Jeremy Kyle. In the evening I was a little bored so saw Dain for a bit and then drank a lot of rose with my mom :)
Today I had a nice lie-in before leaving to go to Ian's to do cleaning. It was kinda weird as no one was there and I had a key so let myself in. I felt like I shouldn't be there without him but I got on with the cleaning and left when it was spotless.
After dinner Jess and Hannah came over. As I haven't seen them in a while and wont see them over the weekend I thought I would invite them over for tea and a catch up. It was so good seeing them both again. Jess fell down the stairs which was hilarious, we shared tales of our uni tutors and Jess and I swapped some dresses. I brought a gorgeous dress from V festival but unfortunately it was just a bit short for me but fitted Jess perfectly. Jess accidentally brought two dresses of the same design so gave one to me :)
I have just finished packing my bag as I am off to Reading tomorrow evening to stay with Ian at his uni. I'm so excited!! I've missed him so much and can't wait to see him again!!

Silly little artist

Yesterday and today have been pretty good days at uni but I am so looking forward to my days off tomorrow and Thursday.
Monday was good because at lunch me and my friends decided to go to Primark and try on the adult size onesies. It was so funny and I really want to get one now as it was really cosy :)

I didn't do much after uni other than devour a lovely roast chicken dinner and finish the second book Ian lent me called Awkward situations for men, by Danny Wallace, which is hilarious and so cute in places. I have now started reading The curious incident of the dog in the night-time but Mark Haddon, which is so far really good!
Today at uni we had the annoying lady tutor again, shes so vague with everything so I just did whatever I wanted, luckily it turned out pretty good and she said she liked it. I was doing really detailed cutting on paper I had painted with rainbow colours and it was going so well until I sliced the top of my finger open with the knife! Owww! Luckily my friend was there to give aid in form of a plaster with monkeys on.

My messy art table.

I then brought a tube of Pringles and a bag of Haribo for lunch :)
I had a lecture until 5.30 but as it started late it was over running by loads and if I had stayed I would have missed my last bus home, so I left, along with a few others.
Now home I intend on doing very little with my evening, maybe have a cup of tea and watch a movie.

London visit

Saturday was one of the best days I have had in a while :)
Ian and I met up in Uxbridge at an early time and got the train to London. We went to the Tate modern first, then on to the National gallery where we looked at some amazing paintings, it's unfair how well some people can paint. We then went to South Kensington and had a wonderful lunch at an Italian restaurant. After we went to the V&A museum where we looked at some Asian swords and armour and then loads of gorgeous jewelry and silver work.
It was so nice to have a day out with Ian and it also gave me some inspiration for my uni project :)


About 4, we headed home and went our separate ways where I got ready and said hello to my grandad who is staying with us for a few of days. A few hours later Ian came to mine and we headed to the Load where we met Dain and had quick drink while we waited for Lee to arrive. We then all headed to the Met where we met with Chris and a few others. We were out for Chris and Johns 21st birthday but John didn't arrive until later on in the evening. Louis was back from uni so Jess, Hannah and some others were all out too. I saw them for a bit but then we went to the Treaty and they stayed at the Met.
The Treaty was awesome, we were playing drinking games and Dain kindly brought me many drinks as I have no money. After consuming way too many drinks and making a fool out of myself by throwing up Ian took me home and of course on the walk home we stopped off at Metro pizza where he brought a kebab, which tasted amazing! We sat at the top of my road for ages and had a huge chat, it was a really nice chat, it made me feel really loved, I love drunken chats with him :)
Today was also lovely. Ian and I lazed in bed watching a programme about a family that lives with a hippo and The others. After dozing off for about an hour he had to go as he sadly returned to Reading :(
I then did some uni work and watched Spiderman 2, The da vinci code and The X factor.

Mint ice-cream

Thursday was yet another day off but it was spent doing some work. I made loads of little fabric tiles that show distress and change, not exactly what I would call 'art' but it was fun tearing and smashing things up. After helping my mom make some dinner I went out to the Load where I met Sam and Dain. The past few days I have been craving mint ice-cream, so Dain kindly brought me a corneto mint, it was glorious. After a few drinks I left them to their evening and went home to bed.
I felt a lot better about uni today, we had a different tutor and he is a lot nicer and clearer about the things he wants us to do and he even complimented my work :)


When back in Uxbridge, I quickly met up with Ian before he departed to go to a gig. It was so lovely to see him again, haven't seen him for a week so it was so nice to just get a hug, I didn't want to let go. After finally prying ourselves away from each other I returned home to a wonderful curry my mom had made.
I then spent the evening having a long bubble bath, painting my nails, drinking tea and watching QI, it was good :)

Un-finished room

There is still quite a bit to do with my room, just haven't had time to buy the things I need.. I'm going to make like a photo frame collage on the wall behind my bed, buy a big light next to my bed and a fluffy rug :)

Tuesday was a pretty crap day at uni. It made me feel like I didn't really belong there. My tutor at the moment talks utter crap. She is so vague on what she wants us to do and I had no clue all day of what she wanted and I ended up creating a load of shit. She's one of those artists that talks like everything has feeling and energy and I really hate people like that.
At about 4.30 we had a lecture which was so pointless, it was aimed more at the creative arts students, because it went on so late I missed my bus and so had to wait 40minuets for the next one! The traffic was so bad I decided to walk back home from Uxbridge, I bumped into Jess walking past Brunel, it was good to see her again :) I eventually got home at 7.30.
As I was feeling a bit down and just wanted to go out, Dain asked if I wanted to join him for a drink at the pub. We sat out in the garden and had some random chats and drank shots. As the night went on I was falling asleep so decided to go home. It was so good to get into my bed knowing I didn't have to get up at 6.45 as I had a day off :)
Today I have done very little, watched some Jeremy Kyle, did some tidying up for my mom, reading and just lazing on the sofa wrapped up in a blanket :)
