DONT LOOK BACK IN ANGER....2009

If Carlsberg made years of my life...this would probably be the best yet!


So I quite like this. Rambling. Typing. Its pretty much just for me, you know to look back on when I'm old and wearing Footglove shoes from M&S and have become really fat eating hobnob creams and cake. Whatever. I dont care. I think im going to keep updating it.

So 2009. A retrospective if you will. Even though I still have a good 4 months to go.

Ridiculously brilliant year. Have spent 15 weeks of it out of the country and that really can't be bad eh!?
Saying that however, i've become a compulsive travel wannabe and now that it's all stopped for a while, I aim to save the pennies to see even more fantastic cities and cultures. Asia next I think. Then maybe a massive U.S. roadtrip. Then crazy bungee in New Zealand and scuba diving Oz. Then maybe just the whole world. And maybe, just maybe get a job that pays for me to do it. Work for Traveller Magazine or something.

Uni is flying by, another half a year-ish and it will all be over, cap and gown photos followed by (most probably drunken and very emotional) Grad Ball and i'll be back in Upminster rave town looking for/hopefully in the real world of work, earning some dollar dollar...Events/venues/sales and promotion/fashion/music/art....lets see.

Vegas was just amazing. New York and LA thrown in.
5 weeks work experience, can it get any better?! I'll be back as soon as I can.

Backpacking Europe. So so many happy, funny memories. Saw so many incredible sights, met loads of cool people, living out of a backpack like a tramp - anytime.

I can't believe how much stuff has happened...
- Started with the whole NYE drama. Good citizen/trying not to get stabbed/giving statements and racing through central London with 2 young dashing policemen. Standard.
- Saw my little Jackie Hilton play cricket at Lords and watched her drop sausages in the Long Room.
- Celeb watched, ate the crews food and tried to act cool at Kasabian followed by too many Margaritas.
- Pulled off Future Film Focus. Yes indeed CLS! Proud.
- Ran around all over the stage at Paradise Gardens Festival
- Rocked V with the ladies.
- Mooched and cocktailed around the May Fair Hotel penthouse. daaaarling.
- Stayed in beautiful Skiathos and ate my body weight in Greek yoghurt, honey and nuts.
- Watched Coldplay fill Wembley Stadium. Legendary.
- Finally purchased le BlackBerry. yes this is a highlight. This is how pathetically organised and Monica Geller my life is I dont care.

Australia at Christmas will be immense. Roast turkey in Adelaide, New Years watching fireworks at Surfers Paradise and then a good start to the new 2010 with a walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge...

Third year has already started well. It just seems, well, nice. Project is well underway and before long the exhibition will be here in January! It's going to be a year full of hard work and even harder play.
Many a 21st celebration to be had (and 22nd, 23rd...) which will give excuse to excessive good times and student loan disappearance.

YES.
