So, I went to this Graveyard yesterday with some graves/ tombs dating back to 1880 and decided to take some photos. Morbid perhaps but I found it absolutely inspiring. I was over to decide Locations for my film and decided, although the photos are not of the strongest quality as they were just outlines for storyboards etc I may as well add them up.
Some will be put on later tonight perhaps, when I can find the time.

Hope all is well :)

Neglect/New Project/Rant

Tue Jan 29, 2008, 1:55 PM

I've currently completely neglected adding anything on this profile, as I've been too busy of late to do anything worthwhile.

Camera-Still Broke - Devastating.
Signs- Many new ones, hopefully they'll be there by the time my camera sorts it's poor little life out. Marie-Excellent Idea may I add on this subject. :)

New Project- How Humanity Destroys Nature and Self. - Should be fun? Something different and it'll keep me occupied until my Camera begins to work again and gets me involved in all the painting and stuff and River walks and all :)

New Course - Film. Occupies 3hours a week for 10 weeks. Fantastic :). I should add one of them on this, but it's finding time. Will do in due course.


School- Pisses me off . Especially Narky wee girls who think they are amazing, is there any need ? And people, who don't take the hint that you don't like them in any sense yet still try to strike a conversation with you. One's who believe that asking 'be my friend' sorts everything out even though they destroyed the closest thing to you. Paranoid girls. One's who make you feel claustraphobic, and make arrangements to go out at the same date as you ?! ' I do have a need to socialise with others but you'. Too much. Nothing changes though. Struck Down.

Weekend- Better come soon. Person better fuck off. I do not like you, my friends do not like you, and you probably wouldn't like yourself if you looked on a wider perspective of yourself !

Friendship - What has happened to it? Paranoid fuckers mess everything up. Liars mess it all up. Everythings out of place, yet everything's perfect- That closeness, should it be accepted, should it be acknowledged, should it be welcomed, or should it be the beginning of no going back, of an unwelcomed change?

"Iago is Machiavel"

Excuse the rant. Gah. :( I'm sadly embarrassed.

The Subject of Writing .

Well today I sat my English Lit. exam and although it was okay it made me realise how much I actually missed English Language. It got me thinking how enjoyable I found the subject. While I sat there, through breaks of writing, I decided, "Hey, since your camera is broken, the weather and area you want to photograph against you, why not keep yourself occupied by writing". So that is exactly what I have done .
Whilst completing my exam I decided to draft a short story and brain-stormed and have just posted the quick draft that I drew up . I hope in time that it may improve.
Hopefully this task will keep me going whilst my exams are being completely, and whilst my camera is out of action . Hopefully proving to be as fun as I anticipate.
I'm going to update the posting with any work and hope feedback will be given .

21:20 - Anxiety .

Two full days left to study for R.e and English modules . So scared which is so out of character . Normally I just don't care about them and don't get nervous but this year, English is really annoying me . I have no notes due to my teacher, the ones i do have desperately need work added to them for they are too simplistic and that in it self will probably take a full day . I wish I worked throughout this year.
I should be studying way on in to the night so I can have at least something done, but no, I have to switch off at 10.30 and watch Goodfellas. I wish i had motivation .
My room is covered in post-its permanent marker and drawings . Empty water bottles cover the floor, two lights have blown and sheets are curled up with hot chocolate spilt on them . Sadly, this is becoming desperate and I need these next two weeks to pass .
I hate these subjects, I've actually become reclusive, and when they're over this act will become all too endearing. Aisling, please get me out of this routine right now !

On a more positive note, I explored Boom Hall today for around five hours . It really excited me . Then I did some 'window' shopping in a supermarket. Excellent :)
