Mmm...fabric...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend

Today I discovered why I never let myself go to the fabric sale in the student union before.

Today I spent £60 on fabrics. D:

Oh gosh, I want to make things so badly, but instead I am stuck revising Japanese for a crappy exam tomorrow. Boo.

I bought some beautiful buttons which are 1930's original bronze/gold glass buttons...they are stunning. Set me back a fair bit, but I'm going to make one into a corsage for my mum for christmas me thinks. I also got some beautiful dusty pink and beige satin which I plan to make into undies/corset, but I expect it will sit in my old trunk filled with fabric for eternity.

I'm considering being a menswear designer. So far, I love it. Hm.

Watch Galliano's A/W 07/08 show...and drool. >_>

OHMYGOD. Saturday was the most amazing day/night ever.

I can't even begin to describe how amazing Gazette were, so I'll try not to ramble. I expect to fail.

Got on the train very very stressed with a text from the almighty and crazy UFO saying the que was going around the corner already, at 8am. Got a call from Nikki, and I felt so bad, due to illness in the family she couldn't make it. I wanted to give her a great big Gaze hug. D: One day we will see Gazette, and we will see them together. <3 So I ring Booj, and she is full of fail. Her bus didn't show up so she couldn't make it. I was going to Gazette on my own.

But! The wonderful UFO who is full of win kept me company for a while as I joined the back of the que, which wasn't as bad as I had previously worried, and I spoke to people in the line. Everyone was so friendly, it was lovely... definitely the best wait for a band I've been to. There were two Japanese girls next to me who were insanely adorable.

Finally they let us in, an hour early. UFO was full of yet more win and I am forever in debt to her for getting me a t-shirt so that I didn't get pushed back further. <3 XD I ended up in about the 5/6th row directly in front of Aoi. I got pushed back during the later half of the set, but during the encore I managed to get to about the 3rd4th row which was awesome. I hate to sound like a deranged fangirl, but Aoi kept staring at me... I am stupidly tall.

Only Ruki could drool on himself, lick the drool, touch his crotch then make the sign 'to the father, the son...blahblah' only minutes later. I was so amused. But anyway. God they are beautiful. All of them. Their music was amazing, they played all the songs I could ever want, including Taion. There was no support act, just two & a half hours of Gazette.

We sang happy birthday to Kai, which was adorable...he looked so lost, his English made me happy inside. People shouted through the start of Taion, oh how I wanted to punch them. Aoi looked kinda pissed off with that. I really can't remember the setlist, but Cassis...I was so happy, everyone singing along, it was amazing. Ride with the Rockers too...I've always loved that, and live it was immense...Gazette are one of the bands I can truly say I have no favourite member, because they all own me. Linda ~candy dive pink heaven~ made me so happy...the whole of the encore was amazing, and they moved around a whole lot more, so I got to see more Of Uruha and Ruki, and got dowsed in his crotch water. Woop!

I've missed out loads, but my brain is still huhfdsdifdyheg and suffering from inability to function. I still ache, and I'm ill, but it was all worth it. Walked back to the station with UFO who was insanely adorable...I wanted to glomp her, but didn't in case she might break. >_> Went back to Bonnies and stayed there, she fed me which was very kind and then I sleeeept and it was goood.

Gazette own me. I hope they come back.

While I still have your attention: GAZETTE IS IN TWO DAYS! I'm so exciiiiiiiiited! Who's going? If you spot me, feel free to glomp/attack/whatever, I will most likely be wearing a huge fluffy leopard print coat or a black tail coat, creeepers and...I'm not quite sure. But I'm really tall. There are photos of me in my journal somewhere if you're that bothered. I think it's only just sunk in this evening that I'm actually seeing them...I've not been excited until now. Also I've convinced myself those tickets aren't real. I hope they don't wear those PVC things...I won't feel I got my monies worth if there is no Uruha thigh. Aoi's braids also...wtf?

I'm back at uni now and finally have the internet! Woop woop!

Last week I turned old (20) which was fun...had an awesome house party in my HOUSE of which I now live in. My room is full of win - it's a really big room with a double bed and I love it <3 I'm loving living in a house so far, so much nicer than halls and I'm glad I'm living with friends.

I'm learning Japanese now as an extra curricular thing, and that's quite fun, my teacher is great.

I miss my kittens! Mum sent me some photos today...they're fully grown cats now!

I live! Horrah! Haven't logged on to LJ in months because I fail, but I am here. The last term of uni was amazingly fun, but I'm home now and it's a little boring. I've got a job at a hotel in the village which is quite fun, I'm doing waiting and bar work for weddings and also some housekeeping...it's an amazing British country estate house, but run a bit like Fawlty Towers which makes it amusing.

I had so much fun doing my latest project at uni, and I got a First for the whole year, which I'm really proud of.




I'm seeing Gazette in London with Nikki and Booj and I can't wait.

Also...............

Did I mention I got kittens? 8DDDD



Millie, Archie and Molly <333 They're the most adorable things ever. This photo is about 6/7 weeks old...they're now about 9/10, we got them at about 5 weeks old...they were so tiny :3



Going to Surrey again at the weekend for Alex's birthday! Yay! Friends! I miss having those.

Hope everyone's doing well, sorry I've failed at checking my friends list recently. <3

DDD: Checked JaME France this morning and now I am sad. They don't usually post false rumours either, so I have no idea where that one came from. D: I can only hope PS Company are being pies and the information was leaked too early or something.

So. An actual update for you. o: Been back at uni for two weeks now, the holiday was entirely boring and a bit depressing as I was stuck on my own in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do and no way of getting anywhere. Also my uni has entirely stupid holidays and I spent two weeks off while my friends were still at uni, so there was only one week in which I could go see them. Fail. D: I did go back to Surrey though and it was lovely, I stayed with Jenni for a few days and we went out, had a picnic, got a sunburn in april WTF X.x and I saw Nikki and a few other people.

Uni is fun at the moment, though I'm being very lazy and my work ethic has just died a horrible horrible death. Everyone sits on the grass outside my window all day which means I can't nap or concentrate, and I sit at my desk thinking 'I should be doing work but I want to be outside', until I finally give up wanting to do work and go sit outside.

I haven't checked LJ in so long. D: Sorry for not commenting guys >_<

I've had a fun past week, monday I went to the Castle, which it turns out is actually a manor. I went with Kate and we did a tour of the caves as well, it was fun. The castle would be such a good place to have a lolita meet, the grounds and house are so pretty. Then we went to Ye Olde Trip and back to Kate's...it was a fun daay. ^_^

Tuesday we signed for a house. It's the first one we looked at, thought was okay but didn't think was overly great, but having looked at others we decided the negatives weren't that much, and we've got it. No more 20 minute walks to uni and it's right by the tram stop. Whoop!

Wednesday we went to the Cookie Club again, and I bumped into Alex who was in my art class in the first year of college. That was weird, but shibby.

I'm starting to really enjoy uni now, I've made a lot more friends this term, and the course is a lot better. I really didn't want to go home this time. O.o

I'm at home now, so I'm kind of bored. It snowed today, this house is freezing. I'm wearing two pairs of hiking socks, a jumper, long sleeve t-shirt and a fleece and I'm still cold. This house is stupid.

I'm currently doing everything I can to avoid doing my DVC work so Lj update! 8D

The fashion show on friday was so much fun, despite everything it went really really well. <3

My dress o:



I was really pleased with it considering it's my first time doing pattern cutting from scratch, and it was made up from around 50 pieces X.x I know the skirt is silly, it's not meant to be worn so yes. XD The module was about silhouette and structure. My model was Ros, and she was so lovely, it's a pain I didn't get a better picture.

Sorry I haven't updated/commented in ages, I've been drowning in work for the past month or so. I've been in uni 9-5 the past monthish, 8.30-6/6 the week before last trying to get everything done. BUT I am finished! First project handed in! I'm pretty pleased with my dress, though I'm a bit fed up of the sight of it at the moment, but I'm fairly proud of the work I've done.

Last weekend I went to Rock City on Saturday and that was fuuun, Oceana tuesday which was awesome, all the fashion people were out so it was nice to see everyone outside of uni for once. I had last week from wednesday off, though I slept through most of the rest of the week to catch up. Horrah!

Got the new project brief today and I'm a bit meh about it, for the first 5/6 weeks there's a continuation of all the lessons I got really fed up of last term. Also we have a careers section every tuesday and it is zomgosh boring.

I don't think I'm going to see MUCC...got no one to go with, I'm not sure I want to go on my own. Also I don't know if I'll be able to afford going to London that week then Surrey the next, and most of my friends are still at uni the week MUCC play. They're one of my favourite bands. *emoz* D:

I've had such an amusing weekend. I'm so tired, just got back, but it was fuuuun. The party was hilarious. It was so nice to see everyone, but a bit uncomfortable with friends and locals at first, but once progress was made on the keg all was good. 8D Me, my brother & his friends (almost all of them came <3) went down to the pub just before the party began, so we were all fairly tipsy by the time the party started. Ben offered me some helpful advice; 'When you're at uni doing drugs and fisting men, be thankful you have such a lovely brother'. I do love Ben, so full of wisdom, and so willing to impart it to everyone.

Sam was off his face, he managed to insult possibly every single person he could have done, whilst in the presence of someone who knows the insulted. Alice (the girl who used to live in the house) was there, she's sweet, but I feel bad for subjecting her to a bunch of 21-23 year old perverts. At one point Sam was trying to come onto my aunt, and people were filling his hood with spoons and forks while he was doing so. Then after a bottle of whiskey, he was standing right in front of my aunt, and Richard came up behind him and pulled his trousers and pants down. I have seen far more of Sam than I ever wanted to see. XDD D: We all promptly ran upstairs, and luckily none of the locals noticed. XDD

Ben was amusing, he's such a fashionite, always dragging random people into conversations and hugging them. He started talking to the gay couple about the guys gloves, which was entirely amusing. Bless. He gave me a copy of i-D magazine cause he's working for them at the moment. <3

After that, there was apparently another strip show upstairs which I missed, and then Sam passed out after swearing at everyone. So other Ben promptly painted his face and wrote 'Ben was 'ere' on his back.

My dad's friend Chris was amusing as usual, and yus. Zomgosh, for a family party it was amazingly cool. We went to the pub this afternoon, bumped into several locals on the way, and they were still talking to us so 8D. Sam pulled his trousers down again though on the way back from the pub in front of a car, and proceeded to shuffle down the country lane like that. >> aaah. It was eventful at least. 8D

You should all watch Children of Men, it's amazing. A bit like the Handmaid's Tale but zomgosh I loved it.

It's SNOWING. WHEEEE!

I quite want to go run around in it, but I'd feel like a bit of a loser, and everyone else is out/in bed. I hope it settles, it's so pretty.

I've had a bit of a mixed day today, I didn't really get a lot of my dress done, but I got some help from Susi and the other new lecturer whose name I can't remember. I've sorted out most of the problems, and tomorrow I can start making the patterns from the toile. It should look really pretty :3 I've spent a few hours trying to do my illustration board though and it's just not working; I'm drawing awesome top halves, but I can't get the legs to match up today. It's so frustrating D:

I'm not living with Avni, Heather and Gemma anymore, I think it'll be better that way. Sam and I need to look for more housemates though, but I'm a lot calmer about the whole thing now.

I got an unexpected letter from Booj today, which made me so happy, but also sad, because it was so BOOJ. And I miss her like crazy ♥♥♥ She sent me some Engrishy stickers too, they're soooo cute, made me smile so much XD I think I'll stick some of them on my set square so that when I'm getting frustrated by my pattern cutting they can make me smile. 8D

The weekend was fun, I went to a bad taste party with Sam, Cat & Annie which was amusing, we all looked entirely horrible.

On thursday I'm going to Susi's corsetry studio which should be really interesting, her company makes the most beautiful designs. Then on Friday I'm going home for our house warming party. None of my friends can make it sadly but Howie's friends will be there and I love them. Also crazy locals. 8D

Saw several houses today, one was omgosh amazing, I really won't find better, but my to-be-housemates are completely deluded idiots, therefore we're not gonna get it, even though we all want to live there. I'm thinking of living with Sam again. I feel like shit for screwing her around, but I don't know if it's gonna work with those other girls since they're so determined to be homeless next year. Can't be bothered to explain now, I need sleep but zomgosh I need to rant.

Can't wait for the weekend, I've been in 9-5 these past few days on about 5 hours sleep a night. 10 sewing days until my garment has to be completed and it's still in the early toiling stages. Holy fork. X.x

Holy wow. I'm in love *______* I knew Damien Rice was talented but X.x. Today I went shopping and bought his albums O and 9, and they're just so beautiful. I haven't stopped listening to 9 Crimes for weeks. I also bought Byron on DVD finally, which I've been after for a while. I also discovered some shops I didn't know they were there, and a HUGE indoor market with the most amazing fabric stall, and a haberdashery, so I now know where to get cheaper art supplies and fabric. They also had some really nice fabric for loli dresses <3

Uni is going okay, not that I've really done much work. Hopefully some time in the next few weeks I'm going to go to my lecturer's corsetry studio to do some research, which would be awesome. Less than four weeks now til my finished garment has to be in! :o

I've possibly found some better people to get a house with next year, which would be good. I need to speak to someone else though to see if they'd like to move in with us. But I'm feeling way more positive about things now which is good.

I went out last night to a cocktail bar then Oceana which was quite good, though Oceana was so packed, it probably would've been better if we stayed at the bar. But it was fun, I went out, and all is good. >.> Save the mild panic attack I suffered just before going out where I kept accidently cutting myself then being all jittery and crazy. O.o that was weird. My finger still hasn't stopped bleeding o.O Anyway. All is shibby 8D ♥

Back to uni tomorrow DD:

I've packed most of my stuff and I can't believe how much crap I've got, or how much I've bought this holiday. O.o I got quite the haul from Norwich - new Converse (maroon with printed tweed lining & second tongue = FIT), craploads of stuff from Accessorize, Band of Brothers DVD boxset, The Pianist, Goldfrapp's first album ♥, a cute cream 1940's style cardigan from Topshop, aand a couple skinny satin ties from Primark (£1 each - also fit), though I can't find anywhere that sells either of the perfumes I'm after. That's most of the excitement of the past week out of the way. Woo! Materialism!

ZOMG it's a month today when I have to hand in my finished garment. ACK!

ALSO Green Wing special yesterday = :O and awwwwwwww <33

I've decided I'm going to go back and try and be positive - make more friends, go out more, and stop binge eating. Horrah!

Christmas was nice, if a little odd. It went quite quickly and I'm still convinced that I'm only in this house on an extended holiday and will be going back to Surrey shortly.

I got mostly money from the grandmas which I asked for, because they'd sold out of the perfume I want everywhere. Got Green Wing series 2 on DVD from my brother, and a few bits and bobs from mum & dad & aunts. Got an awesome vintage black and gold bag from my aunt...I LOVE black and gold at the moment...I hated it a few years ago >> I'm going to be getting a digital camera from my parents as well but I still have to choose it, so can anyone reccomend a good one?

Tomorrow we're going to Norwhich which is a big city where ACTUAL PEOPLE live which should be nice. I can't decide whether to buy Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir perfume or Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb...HMM...

Yesterday evening we went to a party down the road which was really nice, met a lot of people, and some young people. They were all graduated though, so a few years older, but all arty types which is nice. They were all lovely, but have already just moved to Norwhich or are doing so in the near future >> They invited me to a party on new years eve though which should be nice. ^_^

Today we found a HEDGEHOG in a pile of leaves in the garden which was adorable. We picked it up and put it in the hedgehog box which has yet to see a hedgehog. The barn owls flew over on Christmas day too...awww FLUFFY ANIMALS!

After putting up some more decorations, and doing my tree and making a few dishes I now feel festive. Horrah! I'm slightly more excited about tomorrow ^_^

Aaaand here is a pressie for you all. I hope some of you find some of them vaguely useful and download some <333 The Jrock Christmas ones are worth it just for the amusement factor. 8D


MP3's for aaaaall )

I'm sorry if your cards aren't there yet, I sent them on Tuesday so hopefully they'll be with you soon :3

I hope you all have a FABULOUS Christmas and a WONDEROUS new year, though I expect I'll be around before then. Enjoy yourselves :3 <33
