I’m Helen. I’m 22, a fine art student at Northumbria University in my 3rd and final year and loving every minute of it. But I have no idea what I'll do when I graduate.
I have 15 piercings, some scars, 2 microdermals but no ink (yet).
I’m always reading, drawing or playing games. Right now I'm reading Gene Wilder's Autobiography; 'Kiss me like a Stranger'.
2010/02/09 22:42 i've been thinking about getting my nipples re-pierced.
vertical this time instead of horizontal.
hmmmmm? i need to work out if i can afford it really, might have to wait until russell gets paid on the 26th.
the cartilage that i stretched is really itchy today. i'm trying to leave it alone but its proving difficult. however, my septum feels fine accept for the few times i've forgot that i just stretched it and scratch my nose, then it hurts.
i've got a seminar at 9am tomorrow, not looking forward to it. its only an hour long, it feels pointless going in especially since the only other thing i have on tomorrow is an artist lecture at half 3. so that means around 5 and a half hours of bumming around pretending to do work. i say pretending, mostly cause i know i'll spend a lot of time working out what i need to do.
tomorrow i might try to get to the metal workshop at uni to get some zinc plates to make etchings with, hope i can get some off cuts for free.
my day has been filled with;
-bioshock 2
-listening to ranting about bioshock 2
-managing to get showered, dressed and out the house in under and hour
-going to uni
-getting pissed off with loud people in the library
-eating a lot of fruit
-spaghetti bolognese
-popcorn
-and gene wilder's autobiography.
2010/02/08 19:38 i already wrote an update earlier today but then i got distracted and forgot about it then closed it.
anyway, my septum is a bit sore. i've been trying to stretch up to 8g for what feels like months but it isn't happening in one go. so i taped my retainer up this afternoon, it feels a little tight right now but not painful. i also taped up the cartilage in my left ear. thats being more stubborn than my septum. i've been trying to stretch that since august last year.
i didn't go to uni today, i really couldn't be bothered. i have intended on doing drawings all day. my sketchbook is right next to me but i don't have any motivation. the fact that i only have about 2 months to do work should be motivation enough but apparently not.
tomorrow i am going into uni weather i want to or not, even if it is for only a couple of hours. i can at least see if i can, finally, get my feedback.
dunno what to do with myself. im stuck using russell's laptop since he's playing star trek online on mine. he's cool, i know. i expect that there'll be loads of spelling mistakes on here.
