A million girls would kill for that job

I'm really looking forward to getting a new and exciting job. I'm considering cabin crew again. I'm also looking at bar jobs and restaurants. I've been spending a lot of time with Colin and it would be ideal to get a job in edgbaston.

Not a lot has happened , not a lot can happen where I am. I was talking to mark today about fashion and where our style has gone. I believe that I've lost my touch but it was inevitable with the circumstances I've found myself in. So maybe I could put a fashion touch onto this blog. Is still write about other things but maybe explore fashion more. There is a blog called fashion pearls of wisdom. It's a good example.

Retrospecticus




After I 'closed' this blog down 2 years ago, there has been an empty space in my life (no, really). I made many attempts at new blogs but they were shit. So I've come home, to familiar territory.

Reading back on the last 3 years, I've got to admit, a lot of it is very cringeworthy. The amount of detail I go into about complete bollocks astounds me. I was also a whiny single person. In fact, I was really hung up about not having a boyfriend. And not to mention the racy pictures I brazenly used to post. I can't believe now that I did. Who knows, I might do it again. But I'm fat now so I will need to go on a diet first. 

However, it's great reading. How much I have changed. Even my writing style is different. It's lost a bit of its pretensions. 

So what have I been doing in the last 3 years? I will write a list. Remember I love lists:

Got a job at Harvey Nichols 
Hated job at Harvey Nichols
Moved into a flat in jewellery quarter 
Moved out because there was a furnace under the floor and I was always too hot
Took many drugs
Bought many nice clothes 
Moved back home 
Went on anti depressants 
Bought a £700 camera 

This year especially has been difficult for me. I'm a lot better than I was and one of the reasons why I really wanted to get back into writing a blog was because I think it helps me keep things sane in my head. The good things about this year were meeting new people. The bad things I guess were letting drugs get the better of me. And leaving my job because of anxiety. I had a nervous breakdown. I'm ok now. 

I'm healthier, closer to new friends, and have a simplified approach to life. And I don't shop anymore. Fashion is a tracksuit I spilt my breakfast down. 

Before I go, I still take photos and my Leica is still my favourite but I bought a Nikon 500 this year and have been doing professional style photos. At some point I will post some, or get a separate page or section for them. I'm trying to build up a portfolio. So wish me luck.
