'Blacking Out The Friction' -DCFC
'I don't mind restrictions or if you're blacking out the friction. It's just an escape it's overrated anyways. The hardest part is yet to come'
I should either be asleep or doing homework.. and of course am doing neither. I had the longest day ever, yes another one. Can you see a pattern developing here? Unforuntalely I can too!!!
Anyways I had a tutorial with my prof which I told her exactly what I wanted to do for my individual project which she was way more excited than I was for. But she quickly changed the subject to podcasts and vodcasts, a subject we are both interested in. So now I have a lunch penciled into my diary for the 14th with her so she can well pick my brain over it.
EH! Anyways (yes I like this word alot)
So this day was pretty much a waste, in other words I got nothing done because I had to wait around school for six hrs for my other tutorial. So instead of going to the computer lab to do work (for some reason I just cant work there, I hate it) I went to starbucks with Mat, Nat and Jurri and sipped on a iced caramel macchiato as we talked about school....ok we gossiped.
I cant lie to you!
I also learned today that in some groups you just cant work with friends. Fariel and I are on good terms.. she's cool but we have a mutual friend that this project has just not been the best thing for us. I think we give her to much slack in that regard though, shes just not making an effort.
Did you ever have a friend that didnt want to share you with other people? I think shes one of those people. She doenst like it that you dont bend to her whim and she tries to guilt you into alot of things. I had a friend like this before and I gave her the benefit of the doubt for a long time and well let her treat me like crap. She was a good friend and I was 21 then, things have changed.
I have reached out to her but I have alot of things going on in my life and I can only do so much. I just hope that once this project is over she will come to be the person that I thought she was.
I feel bad about it only as much as I can afford to be and obviously its bothering me because am still thinking about it.

Its just hard to see someone almost decide to be depressed. I have alot of reasons to be, am over in my head in work, I think am getting a cold and right now it just seems the world is a little heavy with everything we have to do. BUT....but I choose not to be. Yes its hard but its hard for everyone and deadlines will come, we will rush to make them and next term it will happen all over again, no use in getting all bent out of shape over it.
Ok enough of that....How about something to make me laugh. Lately I have felt out of the loop. I dont have my fave gossip mags and I am no longer in the know about celebrity gossip... Yes I know shocking!!!
But one of my fave shows 'Best Week Ever' has a podcast and I guess the latest news is the TOMKAT split: I had no idea!
How funny are these people!! HEHE!

'Optimistic' - Radiohead
'You can try the best you can, If you try the best you can, The best you can is good enough'
The cover of my visual communication notebook, I did it all in photoshop.
I have been listening to Radiohead for the past few days and I dont know really what that says about me. Yes, they are a fantastic band, poets and composers but alot of their music is depressing and I am sooo not a depressed person.
I guess it can be because alot of work that I am doing calls for you to look inside yourself and answer the questions your normally to busy to take time for.
For instance am working on a visual communication notebook that asks you to put together images that you believe are beautiful. It sounds easy doenst it?.... and for a long time I thought it was but now that am putting the whole collection together I have realized its not.
My professor who happens to be a fashion stylist wants to be able to look at the notebook and get a sense of who you are. As she told the class 'I want to be able to get your vibe'... I turned to Fariel in class and said to her 'I dont have a vibe' which now I know isn't true but I dont know exactly how to explain it to anyone or illustrate it with images.
Its just so hard to do because I think I can say more about myself through music since I feel I am able to connect with that more than any image. If we were able to put those two together I would probably make a small film but thats not the objective, I guess I want any reason to make a small film.
Speaking of that, my toes are still frozen from walking around Shepards Bush today looking for a record studio. I met up with Natalie so we could go over somethings for the music video. Now I have heard Natalie countless times stressed out over the phone but its another thing all together to see it, poor thing.
Its just that for some reason all of our deadlines happen to fall in the same week so we practically go without sleep for a week.
That happened to me last night I think I finally closed my eyes around 5am and even then I was forcing myself to sleep. We just have so much work and since am an over achiever at times I am doing a little more than other people because I want to get a good mark. Also I work friday and saturdays so I lose those days and I have to make up for it somewhere.
-I just got a call from my friend Fariel, who had good news it looks as if those 4 interviews I thought I needed for my broadcast project is really only one interview.. thank goodness!
Best news ever.. ever.. ever!
Well now I have to get down to work, I have my diet coke, a bottle of water, some popcorn and my photoshop open so am all set. Which means I have no excuses to not do my work..
Oh is that my phone ringing...!!!!!

'Holiday From Real' - Jacks Mannequin
'If you left it up to me everyday would be a Holiday from Real'
One of the photos from the photoshoot we did last thursday.We are currently on reading week which means no school in other words now is the time to actually work on projects.
So far I have got nothing.... nada done.
I just took a minute to remind myself what day it is... uh wed thats right. Oh man I better do something. Well I actually did make it out of the house... a big accomplishment I tell you.
Its freezing outside and if I wanted to I could have spent the day under my covers but I decided I would be productive. Of course I cant be productive alone so I called Nat and Fariel who callled Mat and we all met up for a light lunch to discuss projects. So two cafes, a book store where I had 2 diet pepsi's, salad, tea and potatoes later I finally got home.
We actually did discuss school after the usual round of gossip and nonesense. But the like my title says we took a holiday from real...
My friends are quiet ambitious with dreams and wishes for the future. We like to talk round and round about what we would like to do and then we think well why not do them now.
What are we waiting for??...
Our current ambition kind of stems from a current project. Did I tell you we are making an actual music video. Yes a real one .. where we are required to book locations and we have an actual band we are working with. Its all quiet exciting.
I just got back out last gold project video and I am so happy with it. Thank goodness I invested so much time into it.
So the cold dreary day did not get me down, but the work is going too.. argg!

"Feb 15th" - Bright Eyes
'to here the days pile up with decisions to be made,
i'm sure all of them were wrong ......into this song, i send myself '
Thank God for my brother and how he can always bring a smile to my face. Hes the one in the middle! These are two of his best friends before they went to a party for the place they work at.
I cant believe how clear these pictures are from his camera phone.
The laugh I did when I saw this pic is totally what I needed today.I am so tired right now.
Tomorrow I have a huge photo shoot to do and my group is falling apart. We had a meeting today and I tried to hide my annoyance, I didnt do a really good job of it. Now in real life I am the least organized person but when it comes to this project organization is key.
We are not organized.
First of all no one really wanted to do this subject anyways but we were assigned it and have to make do. So we were late to get things rolling. So now here we are the day before with no make up artist, we have missing props and am trying not to panic.
YEAH GOOD LUCK!
When I arrived to the meeting today I already had an attitude. Everyone was talking over everyone. People in my group said they would take care of certain things or do certain things and sure enough .. they didnt.
I have a headache I tell you.
So fariel and I were walking all over London trying to find various props and things to make our shoot fantastic. The only problem was we werent sure what exactly we needed and who was bringing what.. and why? Because we arent organized...
Once again trying not to panic..
I know I know that this is all part of working with a group but am tired of it. Actually this group is alot different from my last one. At least in this one everyone wants to help but somehow we are worse off...
ARRRGGHHHHH! I need to get these irritated kinks out of my system because its seems as if they are just getting tighter by the minute.
Am just glad that I have Fariel to lean on.. she seems to be able to read all of my pointed glances and that helps because then I dont have to say what am thinking out loud.
This was us at JoJo's bday party last weekend and as of right now its doenst look like that will be happening this weekend even though all of our friends need to go out and dance in order to shake off this project, maybe I can convince them. But she did promise me we could do something fun next week.. thank goodness for reading week even though I have tons of work to do still.

"Slowly Grows Come to Me" Bethany Joy Lenz
'I'll be the first one waiting, I will be the last to leave.'
So am late to the party but this youtube and zippyvideos thing is really cool.
Just a test to see if this works.
I dont think many of my friends know that I make fan videos, I guess thats what you can call them. Well this is one of my many. Its a story of clips from my favorite show One Tree hill. The song is sung by Bethany Joy Lenz/Gaelotti who also happens to sing the song thats the title of my blog!
