CASAMANIA

Hello fellow friends and followers of Claudblog,

It seems like a lifetime since my last post, it’s cliche but I’ve been so busy, and this week has gone super slow.

Another boring thing to add is, my portfolio is ALMOST COMPLETE!!! I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t get me wrong, I loved making it all, it’s totally my thing, but now I just can’t wait until it’s all done and out of the way.

My birthday/birthday party’s next week so I’m looking forward to that too. I don’t know if I wrote about this before but Mum granted me permission to have a proper 18th, with friends and family down.

Our house is too small so I’m having it at my Granny and Granda’s, who lives directly in front of our house. So I’m going into super-party-planning mode, a mode I have not been in since my 16th. I’m currently researching party games. Decorations were bought today and music was sorted last night. (BTW, guests, if you would like any songs in particular in the ‘Party Playlist,’ please let me know.)

I’m playing a Find the Badge game, self explanatory really, so I ordered all 20 badges on ebay. The first batch arrived yesterday, and they looked so cool! People chose really good images: they were meant to pick something that would relate to them. So yeah, portfolio work and party time, I love this!

If I wasn’t going into graphic design, I so would be a party/wedding planner. I totally could own that job.

BUT look!

4th February- James’ Birthday Party

5th February- My Birthday Party

6th February- 18th Birthday, woo

7th February- MOCK ENGLISH EXAM

8th February- INTERVIEW!!!

See that! See! How horrible of silly school to give me that in between the two most important days of my life! And no, I’m not being overdramatic!

And alas, I found out something else! About the precious bum chair.

It’s only £228.00!

A little bit out of my price range! However I found out it was called a Casamania.

Yay,

PAINT PAINT

Quick post.

Heya, I’ve been busy lately, and ironically to my last post, Blogging hasn’t even crossed my mind.

I’ve got an AS English resit a week and a day away, and I haven’t even started revision on it. I’m so engrossed in art, which isn’t a bad thing, but because it’s taking away from precious revision time it’s more of a burden lately.

Thankfully we are off on Study Leave until Thursday, so I hope I’ll get some crammed in this week. Also on Thursday is the Belfast UU Art Open Day, so our art class is going to it. Should be good craic as well as interesting and useful, because art is good fun recently. The other day Gareth sketched me, due to the challenge request of Mary-Jane to draw me in 15 mins. It turned out really well. It scared me though when he was sketching because he kept looking directly at me and made me feel uncomfortable. I meant to have the photo up here (much to his dismay) but I think it’s in the house. I’m in the container taking a break from painting.

I actually think I’ve got better at painting. In the past 24 hours I’ve done 2 A3 paintings: one of Jaejoong and one of Jared. I’m painting one of Jared at the moment. It’s my new craze, I’ll just keep going until I simply can’t do anymore then pick the best for the portfolio. Yeah, no wonder English isn’t done. Boo. Give me ideas of who to paint next.

I’ll leave the best news to last. I’m having an 18th Birthday party! Like a proper one, with many friends and relatives. Mum granted permission for it today, thankfully I had a guest written already. ;) But she was being silly and saying how I don’t talk to a lot of these people- how does SHE know who I talk to during school?

So I’m very excited about this now: the party, interview and the *BIG* surprise which I still don’t know about yet is all ahead of me. And that’s just February.

I’ve decided what I want for my Birthday. A bum chair!!

Cheeky. And disturbing, eh?

I can't stop watching it.

Love u all.
