Slumberjack

Limo Lux Oxford Circus, I miss the band...





Worst pick up line ever:
"Have you got time?"
"No, sorry I haven't"
"Not that time, your time"

I wear my ex's clothing and watch Sherlock Holmes eating Kent cherries.
Sweet sunday sleep. First free day tomorrow since the 15th of July.
I will dive in to books, soak it up and come out as a better person.

Hey Civilisation!

Yeah, so I feel like I'm being put in a box this summer, especially living here alone in London so close to work. I just work and never really have the time or effort to make plans. But tomorrow I am seeing Jelena, soo excited!!! We're going to the East Enders Thrift Store for an evening event again ( FREE BOOZE, £3 VINTAGE DRESSES). So some exciting photos will be up for you of crazy faces and sexy outfits, fear not.

I overslept today. I woke up 09:15, work started 09:45, and I got there 5 minutes early. I am mightily pleased with myself i must admit!

Oh dear, thank god I like my job and love my co-workers. Having to sort out getting two more flatmates for our house on top of 48 hours work replying to dozens of e-mails - It Ain't Easy, Life Ain't Breezy.
Now I'm off to bed to rekindle the cycle. And of course start the day with a jog and some juice.

Goodnight,
I'll dream of birthday cakes (for next week I turn 20)
hope you have sugar-coated dreams too, reality is a brick wall,
where you need a sledge hammer to succeed, a cake knife won't cut it.

don't miss M.I.A.'s new tracks, here's "Space":

Today's Stomach Ache



Today's work was horrible I don't want to work at House of Fraser again! All alone in the Karen Millen section. It was lonely! The staff was rather unsociable, the canteen was a nightmare, with everyone sitting in their separate corners. The manager couldn't seem to remember my name so called out "Karen Millen! Karen Millen! Karen Millen!" when a costumer needed help... Yay I must never work there again and I'm back in Whiteley's with the KM-family tomorrow!

Days of Haze

Broke as a bone but still alive. On Thursday I went to an art exhibition and Donna and I chatted to a bunch of Swedes swarming at our feet. Strange Tesco phenomenon... Friday work, and now work work work

Thursday's PLAY IT Art Exhibition
Libby's movie about her grandparents' Holocaust story "What can I tell you"
How strange it is...
Dress from the Zara sale

Friday's North London

busybody

hey I work all day long and collapse at 12 most days.
I had a great weekend with my dad, step mom and step sis.
We took loads of great pictures. Annika makes a great paparazzi.

Towards the weekend I'll be having some fun again. Will shoot some snaps.
'Play It' art exhibit private viewing on Thursday at Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane.
Trying not to be a square..

These photos are from our weekend:
Friday dinner at Ripe Tomato in Notting Hill


Exploring the South, Saturday morning in Hyde Park then Borough Market and Waterloo
Saturday dinner at Four Seasons in Bayswater, best duck in town.

Sunday in South Kensington, at the grand V&A, check out the garden, restaurant and glass



At Harrods checking out bags and funny looking people with nice bags




Home sweet home (for the time being)...

Epilation, Sweat and MP3's

Epilating my legs for the first time without developing too much of a sweat-tache.
Wrote a song about the girl sitting next to me on the train:

Lollipop breath
icky sticky grape juice-scent
I held my nostrils together and
closed my eyes to ignore the pink
she is reading information
on a standard university
that will lead her to an average life
ken and barbie happy ever after
although I'm sure he cheats
and she feels unfulfilled.

Yeah, I'm pretty presumptuous.
I've watched four episodes of the L-word today, as my journey in to work allows me this.
Rendezvous tomorrow, start at ten but I end at 4. Which gives me time to sign some papers and start paying rent for a house I do not yet live in.

goodnight. the other night was good I've got some pictures but I'm tired and overworked - my next free day will be next Thursday... and I've already worked since Wednesday last week (7 days)

hardcore goodbye

Going to get Stoked at the Stoke!


Playing some pool and eating some pizza at the Stoke. Dressed like a skank in a polka dot skirt and purple tights. Just resting from my classy Karen Millen work wear. Working 46 hours this week. it will be a joy ride!

Photos up: cheers!

This time:

And the night ended in the bathroom at the Rowbarge

I wear shorts and glasses in my free time

Ritual at the end of the day, walk across the Waterloo bridge for some fresh air and closure:

We'll I've been working since Wednesday, next free day is Friday, so working more or less full time. Travelling is kind of getting a bit annoying. So I've started reading Dorian Grey again. Feel like I should bring my dictionary... I shower and then skip to the station put my full make up on the train within twenty minutes. And then I hop on the tube to whichever store it takes me to! Jolly good fun.

I've started watching the L word with French subtitles and at house-parties I speak the language because I want to learn to be relatively good at speaking French again! Before I turn 20. In two months. That's my number one goal. Stay Sharp!

Rest assured, more photos are coming up soon!
cheerio

- Now Karma-baby is back!

Tired

Worked yet another long day, I am enjoying my £10 Primark dresses! Styling clients is fun!
Yesterday I went to play pool with Seb and some of his mates. I suck at pool and I've cut down on drinking so at this point I feel it after on drink. We ordered Indian so hot I got dizzy and fell asleep... same thing happening now!

This is how beautiful Guildford was when I came home this evening:

Hey I'm Working

I have now got a temp job at Whitley's Karen Millen (in Bayswater).
It's a bitch travelling to and fro London though, and the price of a ticket takes away 2 hours of pay more or less.. Good experience anyhow, might try and find a room in London... and look for more work.

Going to work now!

On Monday Karma and I went to ACM's annual showcase. awesome! Then we went to the famous Boiler Room and saw ACM's teachers perform who were so talented!

Yesterday I met up with Karma for drinks and dinner at Giraffe, after I'd gotten back from a couple of hours work in London... good times!

I fell asleep early but still feel quite sick, phlegmy, and have got an infected eye.
They'll make me buy clothes today because I don't have anything Karen Millen-y in my suitcase. Well sale goes on today and I get 50 percent, so I don't really mind! Working from 1130 to 2030..

Cheerio

Monday we looked like this:

Yesterday we were a bit sweaty (so hot!):

Bye Bye UK

Hello Scandinavia! For the week at least. Seems like I got the temp job for Karen Millen, they liked me and are short-staffed, so now what I need to do is find accommodation over the summer! Karma sweetly offered their place here in G-ford, might do at the start until I find a bed to crash on in London. People are so touchy about sharing their expensive scarce resources in London...

Alright I'm soon off to the train station feeling surprisingly perky. Let's just hope I have enough money on my jojo-travelcard, else I'm rather fucked.

see you on the other side
