I've returned

Haven't updated this in awhile so I thought i'd actually write on this thing with what i've been upto in the meantime, well i've set up an online portfolio for all my work on DeviantArt which is linked to my twitter (which is also linked to my facebook fanpage of my illustrations).

So my work is all covered under one roof, then i've got my business cards finally done which is awesome since they've got my 'Bearly Awake' piece printed on them.

Had a lovely chinese meal on Sunday with one of the housemates and a friend popped over so that was cool, plus I did manage to get all my Christmas shopping done before the rush. Went to town yesterday with my grandmother (which is the bestest thing since she spoils me haha.. nah she's just awesome). Had a meal after helping my gran get my uncle his presents, also my great aunts and had my christmas money (plus Harry Potter Book with cool things that you can keep/collect).

~So i've neglected blogger for a while since mainly busy with university work and socialising I do apologise.

Anyway with my absence I bring news of my re-launched DeviantART account, OctopussDreams which has mostly all my new work from university projects and has a few old pieces on there. You can have a look here.
I'm currently off for two days due to my lecturers being away from the university which is a god send, finally catch up on sleep i've not been having but also doing work at my own pace! Mainly repainting a frame for my exhibition work and doing a few monoprints for Wednesday's work. But things in university seem to be going smoothly.

~ I want it to be Christmas already, I don't want to be in Wales much longer.

I've already done my Christmas shopping since I had little money to spend so may aswell get it out of the way! Mum, Dad, Gran & Grampa T, Gran & Grampa P, uncle Sean, Dan, Dani & Jason, Kat & Luke, Charlie, Dan's mum (kinda left Dan to pick something for his dad lol since I have no clue what to get him!). Got all the cards, wrapped the presents, I'm finally ready to sit down to Christmas dinner haha!

Update

Well it's been awhile I can't lie but you guys deserve a really awesome update, I've been mostly focusing on my university work so i've created a new DeviantART account to show my online portfolio (here). Also since i've been focusing on university work i've been too busy to do much on the social life, but did celebrate my boyfriend's 21st birthday on the 29th and Halloween at two house parties (those were pretty cool but didn't manage to get many photographs). So i'm pretty much looking forward to bonfire's night on Tuesday (yeah they've rescheduled since the weather) so i'm hoping to take out the fisheye and digital out then.

That's about it :)

Black & Blue

Hello blue eyes! Yes my mum dyed my hair back to black since it's much more manageable and cheaper to maintain really. I'm just gonna let it grow out and keep the fringe that size since it seems to suit me more than a swept fringe that I use to have. Anyway i'm going to enjoy my weekend and not waste it away on the internet :)

Sheriff Jazz

Oh it's alright i'm better now, well i've still got the irritating cough and sniffles but I feel much more me now! So things are all muddled up, i've got to do alot of work on Saturday and Sunday since i've found out i'm invited to a house party on Friday. Fun times! Playing catch up on university work is okay since i've only missed three days and I know what i'm doing (I have a very calm attitude here). My hair isn't pissing me off so much which is great, since my mum can only do my hair the end of the week/beginning of next week and i've learnt to just do plaits so the colour blends :) even though I will be going back to black since it lasts longer!

Writing this sentence is kinda weird when your just focusing on stream of thoughts... 

Anyway i've made a purple cake for show pride, wear purple (which I didn't so i've made a cake to show my awesome pride in memory of those are not with us due to homophobia). And yes I fully support LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans) since i'm bisexual (and don't you all go sighing or huffing and puffing like I steal all the straight and bi ladies out there before you do, since i'm perfectly happy with my boyfriend. But I've dated both genders, they both have drama problems equally and that is my view). And if your homophobic then you have a small small pea size brain that needs to get out more, plus purple is a lovely colour to wear!

Daniel, the boyfriend bought me a Scott Pilgrim t-shirt when I was dying over the weekend which is bloody lovely<3 See I love surprises but I really really love opening parcels that come to the house/or are for me, opening presents around Christmas gets me over the top insane. But yeah it's a pretty awesome t-shirt which i'm going to wear tomorrow to university (even though i've still yet to see it in the cinema.. I don't think it's even still in the cinemas now, just have to wait for the dvd to come out haha), theory class in the morning and then a seminar in the midday period! ARGH i'm so pumped (listening to my new OK GO album<3) this band was invented for nerds/geeks/freaks that want something different haha..

Christmas list:
Daniel (boyfriend.. So something awesome yet useful/maybe)
Adam, Henrik (housemates.. music/geeky & cultural/nik naks)
Mum & Dad (something creative & something computer-y)
Gran & Grampa T (loveliest chocolates & guinness)
Uncle Sean (something weird)
Gran & Grampa P (chocolates)

Mermaid Jazz has the flu :(

So i've recently dyed my hair to a lovely emerald colour, which makes me think i'm a mermaid and gets lots of stares when I go out in public. It's not even nasty comments just big wide eyes and mouths slightly open... freaks me out to be honest, i've seen brighter hair colours and mine doesn't reach there. Plus I may need a top up since the ends are going lighter :/

Plus i've acquired that lovely straw hat from my housemate Henrik, which I think it's okay to do since we all made Sunday dinner last weekend and it was bloody lovely! Okay it might not be the sexiest photograph of a Sunday dinner but it was so tasty :) 

I'm currently dying of the flu which wasn't part of my relaxing weekend as I hoped, going to see what tomorrows like and if i'm still feeling crappy not gonna go in on Monday (even though there might be a workshop plus i've got work due in on Tuesday... )

Just a small update.

Orange Juice

✎ So i'm currently sat in my lovely living room with my boyfriend watching crap on the telly, still i've got this horrid cold and i'm taking a handful of tablets every four hours. Hoping to lose this by next week since i've got to get up to date on university work, also bought a four children's books for my project coming up on characters/storyline/moral etc. to help me reference. Anyway yesterday was really nice, had a girly shopping day with my friend Hattie at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet (which I really love since their starting to get Christmas items in and such).

I think i'm getting more and more excited for Christmas than Halloween, maybe it's because kids don't egg your house if you don't answer haha or I just like wrapping up in layers. I don't even know what to do for Halloween since my last one was absolutely pants! So was thinking getting treats, thriller/horror movies and chilling out at home with the boyfriend for it... sounds good right? So I was saying about Christmas, mainly thinking/been asked about going to the boyfriend's place for a Christmas meal and i'm looking forward to that. Also dying my hair this Wednesday to turquoise/blue, which is exciting and terrifying since I hope it goes well!
