Just got my tickets to see Mars Volta in March!!!
Was majorly worried because I heard they had sold out. It will have been 4 or 5 years since I saw them last and they were so incredible. Three albums later, I can't wait to hear them. Their first album is still my favourite album ever - AWESOME!
Next year is going to be so great simply for that one gig. So over-excited, have to wait 3 months, arghhh...........

Feeling much better today. Didn’t cry this morning (yay!), introduced Helen to the joys of Conetik, practised signing at lunch time so didn’t have to brave the rain and the cold, and watched ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ this afternoon. All in all, a most pleasant day at work and a glance in the right direction.

Need to buy Christmas presents this weekend and organise the next few weeks, as I have been putting off anything remotely productive over the last month or so. Thought I had a ridiculously busy weekend next weekend, but now free for me to…well procrastinate some more most likely!

Checked my three e-mail addresses and had about a million e-mails!!!! (slight exaggeration perhaps…) – lots of junk and one e-mail address I hadn’t checked in a couple of weeks but gah! I have so many people I’ve neglected to reply to so will be dolling out apologies by the truckload – need to designate a whole day to e-mailing people. It’s always good to be wanted I suppose…

Anyway, night in for moi tonight, as I have the mental age of a 95 year old and can’t stay up past 10pm, hahaha!

Have a good weekend everyone. Hopefully I’ll see London people on Sunday.

Rotersand tomorrow, yay! Hopefully I’ll cheer up, god, I’m annoying myself so much this week – just too goth with the depression and crapness. *fingers crossed* anxiety doesn’t kick in. OK, need to not be crap…. Easier said than done, gah!

On the plus side, had a chill-out sesh in the sensory room this afternoon with Helen (my 1:1 autistic girl). The sensory room is dark with UV lights (last time I was pretending to be a CYB0000R spack with the glow sticks) and now has some fairy lights in a pattern on the wall and some twinkling little lights on part of floor that change colours in time. We just spent half an hour laying down staring at the lights, ‘chatting’ (me mimicking the sounds and movements she makes), and relaxing. I love the sensory room, I’m always completely spaced out when I come out of it and back into a class of 10 kids running round all crazy.

School’s actually been really good this week, not sure why… I have been sleeping loads so my post-lunch food comas haven’t been as severe. I think it’s just been more fun this week; the routine got abandoned for a while, which is always a good thing. Also got Helen to like Steril so I’m very proud of myself :-D

I need my own sensory room, how amazing would that be?!?!? I’d never leave it though… So Rotersand tomorrow, awesome :-)

Forgot to put up that I canceled das metal band shoot. Tog was really lovely about it - so used to sleaziness and retardedness that, when his reply was respectful and light-hearted, I was quite shocked! He was going to have to delay the shoot anyway because his ex has all his equipment and is refusing to give it back!

Explained very very briefly why I couldn't do the shoot and part of his reply made me think that he assumes I have some sort of famous metal band boyfriend, hahahahahahahaha! No, just a strange coincidence I think. Me and a metaller?!?!? There's absolutely no way I'd be able to pimp them for their cd collection now is there... ;-P

I like puting pretty links up, so here's Chas' website:

Just got off the phone with Dave, planning our shoot in December, what a really nice guy (not a sleaze, yay!).
I'm way too excited about the shoot - Dave makes prosthetics and focuses a lot on fantasy, sci-fi, gothic shoots, which is exactly what I've been looking to add to my protfolio, yay!
We're going to do a whole day with various costume changes: cloven hooves that will make me about 6 foot tall, long claws and razor-like teeth... and that's just one of the ideas!
He's also making some HUGE black wings for a shoot after Xmas for a fetish version of an angel (if that makes sense).
This will be completely different to anything else I've done.
Here's one of his websites:

Also going to get details of a guy that's awesome at body painting for another shoot.

yay! :)

Current Mood: hyper
Current Music: Conetik of course!

god dammit, yet another thing lost in the abyss that is my room, and before I could load it onto my computer.

Awesome shoot yesterday - used 4 memory cards worth of pics (he usually uses about 2, yay!). That's probably because we have the same interests. Anthony (tog) was really specific in what he wanted the pictures to be like so it took a while to get used to that. Will take at least a couple of weeks to get pics back; STILL waiting for some from about 6weeks ago but apart from that I'm up to date. Anthony said I should get a manager and think about going full time - would be amazing but I don't know, would give me a better chance of finishing my degree, maybe once I've done my bodypainting shoots and some with other models. Also keep getting told I need to focus on one specific area, but I thought being versatile was good - I'm just waffling on and on and on now...

Feeling emo today so staying in and sorting out portfolio, woo, how fun(!), that's if I can find photoshop, otherwise no resizing pics for me.

Hope Hallowe'en party goes well, with all the fireworks it should be interesting to say the least, haha!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone; it's Hallowe'en already!
