I have finally moved into the new house and it is now looking a lot better especially after a heated chat with the landlady. I now have to unpack which will take me a good few days.....urgh....

Lots of things have been happening over the past few weeks....

Pete and I finally cleaned up the house last night, took us a long while (we finished at about 11:30pm), so after the stress and rush of moving, things are now clean and clear (he'd better get his deposit otherwise liz will not be a happy bunny).

I have been helping out WARPSoc in the Freshers Fayre and dressed up in Steamtech to help advertize Orichalcum LARP and Claire was also dressed up in a sexy corset with a larp weapon, had a walk around the fayre whilst dragging a few freshers to the table. During this i was feeling very odd and my head was hurting, A LOT. My piped dreads hurt sometimes when i have them in as they are clipped into my hair, but they don't hold enough hair so whatever is clipped, is pulled. My eye piece doesnt help either, i need put foam around the eye part to stop it from hurting, however at least after cutting a hole in the grate section, my ear doesn't hurt as much.

I later found as i took the hair off that i had a few HUGE lumps from where the piped dreads were! They are still there and are slowly sinking down. (Looks pretty but i hate that bloody hair! ARGH!)

Also trying to help out Pretty Flamingo shop in Aber, wearing clothes bought from there and giving out flyers. I overslept today so i have to do it tomorrow (i will wear my Casino Dress ^_^ ). Will be walking around the Union and the Arts Centre, possibly in town too. Even though the Freshers fair is finished, i'm not!

Went out to the Union on Monday for this, MNE (Monday Night Exchange) where it plays alternative music. During the Freshers Week it wasn't really that alternative... Most songs i would rather have killed myself than listen to it. Asked for a few songs, but they said it was too heavy for the freshers. So i mentioned Metallica and System of a Down, recognisable and light on freshers ears. They didn't play them.
There were some songs that were ok so i *ahem* danced to them. I had a few odd looks. I asked them to join in, to try it. They stuck their noses up and looked away. I had so many bad looks from people. I was wearing my bondage trousers and a small chinese waistcoat top, with steampunk goggles. My generic outfit for rocsoc. Some random guy passed me asking if i was a stripper, I replied with "well if you go over the hill and far far away, you may find the other end of your arsehole." Doesn't make sense in the slightest but i was tipsy, he was tipsy and i wasn't in the mood for drunken freshers.

I think I realised what I hate about Freshers. Most of them are weak-minded. Pisses me off.

On a lighter note there were a few nice freshers there, made friends with some of them and i have the feeling one of them fancies me so if we ever meet, i need to tell him im already head over heels for someone else ^_^.

Pete's Oldening went exceptionally well. With make-shift paintball fight with water guns, water based paint and, well, water! ^_^ I took a few pictures so hopefully pete will remember to put them up at somepoint.

The night was good too, with monocles and top hats. I dressed up as a sort of escort in a chinese dress, high heels and  manacles on my wrists and ankles.

 

Has anyone come accross a mobile phone in the Angel? I have lost it since Rocsoc.

Its a black and blue, Sony Ericcson, slide phone.
Looks like this....



it has no sound but still vibrates

Work has been, interesting. Owen and Rhi are sorting out my P45 which i have never had before :s so this is new ^_^. Slightly messed up sometimes during the reception work but it all turned out find afterwards. ^_^ So I am happy ^_^
I enjoy being a Receptionist for The Osteopathic Clinic even though sometimes I can't pronounce the word proporly. ehe...
    When its not too busy I have just been busy knitting/Crotcheting/drawing lolita designs

I have had a spark of inspiration since i finally finished my woolen Headdress ^_^ Pete says its very me ^_^ (wasn't sure of that was good or bad). All I have been doing is Drawing up new lolita accessories and such, to hopefully sell again, this time in a shop in Aber! (Pretty Flamingo)

However, I'm getting slightly worried about my Artwork commissions. I'm finding it difficult to get my act together to even start them.

a webcomic/ d&d group artwork/2 or 3 novel illustrations/ 2 paintings (S x XL)/ CP event accessories/ cat illustration

Also need to learn my lines for the Castaway production of Loves Labours Lost, soon to be performed in the Arts centre (end of August). Should go over them with Pete, seeing as he needs to learn lines too,

I have lost interest in Tae Kwon Do, as I feel the class doesn't have enough dicipline. Thinking of going back to Aikido when the term starts back up. (that reminds me, they still have my license)

Time is running out and I haven't even tried working on my Aberddu kit for the event, and i have a few things to do. No as Much as last year, kit-wise seeing as I don't need to remake the wraparound trousers or top, (possibly tighten up the stitching around the waist though..)

-edit- [... bollocks i think i may need to work on Feras kit as well...]


Otherwise things haven't been too bad, slight hiccups along the way but fine.


Right now....I think I shall take a look at what needs doing to Rikku's kit. then Fera's, and later if i get time, start drawing my commissioned work.

-edit-  error! do not know where to get long canvases!

Good News! I have a job!

As a receptionist in the North Parade Osteopathic Clinic. ^_^ Only part time (9am till 1pm) but still this is awesomeness !
Its also only temporary so I will be making the most of it, and if I do well, I will have a good reference!

Also today, received my new Gothic &Lolita Bible today, Wedding season (its so PRETTY!!) Really want to make the outfits but its a bit difficult without my tailor Dummy.

Finished one of my Lolita Headdresses today too, and bought a metal headband to put it on, walked around town and Michelle (in Pretty Flamingo) wants to meet up on Thursday to talk about selling my accessories! Win!

I need to think of a brand name now for my stuff......any ideas?

ones i have in mind are.....

• Ginger Rikku
• RealE
• Reality
• RealitE
• Rikku Real
• Real Lily
• Real Moments

.....I hate coming up with names... I want something that is memorable, possibly that contains my Surname, REAL.

i bloody hate this!!! i almost slipped and broke my neck in this house! pete and i desperately need a clearout of some crap in here. then sort the bathroom and bedroom.

Looks like i didn't get the job in Little Italy....

went for a Training Day on friday, got paid, he said he would ring me on Monday or Tuesday and i haven't heard from him since...

However, I may have another job, offered by Ian to be a receptionist ^_^ that is if it's still available.

I think I got a job in Aber!

Win!

Just need to see him tomorrow to talk about shifts available, payment and other stuff.

Also had a phonecall off dad telling me that I will be getting more money for University!

Double win!

I can see where I get a few of my bad qualities from.
My dad rang me up this morning and asked when he takes me up to Aber, if he could stay the night, but he asks me this, the day before!. .....I love my dad but since I've been in South Wales these last couple of days, dad has really been infuriating.
Last week, he wanted to see my artwork but he wanted me to bring it out to him whilst he was in the car. But at the same time hes asking me to check the internet to track his mail. Thats all and fine, but he kept checking up on the mail and really wasn't looking at the books I spent half a year on (and others, a year) he was more interested on the mail. If he wanted to check his mail, why didn't he just tell me that in the first place instead of doing two tings at the same time?
Then there were problems with his mail that he sent to spain, i was confused as well but i didn't need dad to keep saying to click to the same damn thing to get the same bloody result! Angry liz was angry...

( To do list for today and for other stuff i need to think about )

On Friday, when i went to Doubletake Studios in London, I left my artbook which had bits and bobs of ideas for Pete's webcomic. Panicking, I rang them up yesterday and they told me they would have a look and would ring me back in an hour. ...a whole day went by and no word. At about 5.00pm yesterday I rang them again but could onky get to the main customer care service, all they could do was send them and email and hope for the best.

Just rang them now and got to the customer care service, they rang up Farringdon (where one of the studios are) and they found it!
However, they asked if i was able to pick it up, but i only went to London for the one day. So they were then going to post it to me, but theres a delivery charge......£7 to deliver a small A5 art book!

The woman on the phone could hear that i wasn't happy about it, also mentioning i was a student with no job, unable to even afford that! She put me on hold for a short while then told me, she'll post it to me, for free. WIN!!

Doubletake Studios, the people are lovely! ^_^

----Edit-----
I found my book....it was under neath all my clothes as i was packing........then what the hell did they find? Guess I'll find out when I get it.

Simon and I tried to go to the pub today but it was full up....and loud...time to find a better place. Went to  an Indian restaurant instead on the A470 and it was good. I even had a decent conversation with Simon.

But I think Simon really needs to be honest to Mum, his habit of not telling her what he really thinks is really a drain on both of them.

its 4.40am and this is the third time in a row that i've had trouble sleeping. its really beginning to bug me because i'm really tired, but can't sleep till later on.

So, during my sleepless night tonight, i've dragged all my old blogs from different sites such as bebo and myspace and put them on one place, on livejournal. the bebo ones are going to be a pain in the arse though because they don't do dates, they go by days so i have to work out what day each blog was written. le sigh, i'll do it next time.

After looking at a lot of my old blogs, it seemed i was a very troubled person. but then again, things change and you grow from your experiences.

i think im about to crash so shall log out now..


night night

hmmmmm.....looks like i'm going to have to back date a few  things.......(blogs)

well, im tired, it's 3.00am and i still can't sleep.

I blame mum...BLAME. *ahem* anyway.......

Reason I'm still up is because mum wanted to have her pictures taken in mine and her dresses that we bought in a shop called Pretty Flamingo in Aberystwyth. I could tell she was tipsy soon as she put my dress on. However, she looked gorgeous. I hope I'll look like that when I'm her age (however with bigger breasts, SHADAEM!)( Read more... )

Sewing machines hurt....

I love sewing but jamming your finger in the machine, really numbs your finger!

(today really isn't my day...)
