On the Home Stretch...

Well, I am in my final year of University and only have 6 weeks left to go.
I know that most of my fellow Uni chums will be relaxing and enjoying their Easter break but I (as a good little student) am working away on my essays and 2nd dissertation. So that hopefully I will be able to spend my last few weeks with my beloved Devoran Crew, the Seymours, Joe and Muffin.

Exciting News: Since Christmas, Laurie, Ed and I have become a band called Littlefoot. We practise every Monday afternoon at Ed's house and I look forward to the practises every week because we gel so well together and we get to play music that we all love and I get to spend time with my favourite boys. Like in U2 we have little nicknames for each other. Laurie is Pixie, because he doesn't listen and is off in a world of his own (plus he looks like a woodland creature), Ed is Archemedes, because he looks like a wise old owl and he is the smartest man I know and I am Cannibal, becuase I bite the boys heads off a bit (mostly Laurie's) and I am hoping it's because I'm a fiesty ass kicker (maybe not).

Then I will be moving back to the chav infested hell hole that is St. Austell :(
This is only because I don't want to get tied to working full time as a waitress my whole life, I need to get my foot in the door of my career. This does mean leaving Falmouth and moving back with my Mum at the age of 21 (also sharing my sister's room- oh the shame!) but these sacrifices must be made if I am to become a millionaire by the age if 25.

My next post will be a goodbye to all of the amazing friends I have made in Falmouth (not that I will never see them again, I'll only be an hour away). A little homage to the best friends I think I have ever had.

Anyway, must get back to my dissertation.
Here's a photo of the Muffins (Amy and I) to make you smile

A Very Merry New Year

New Years Eve... as the new Hollywood film states is 'The One Night Anything Is Possible'

Well, mine wasn't so windswept and exciting but it was still a crazy one.

At first, I had work 6-10, which led onto 10:40... Pain!
So I rushed home to my sister and my friend Jenn sitting in my room waiting for me like wolves. As soon as I walked through the door they pounced on me, helping me on with my dress and drowning me in perfume so I wouldn't smell like gravy anymore.

I had a very greasy face which meant I had to wipe off my foundation and reapply it, which as most ladies will know is a massive pain when you are already late to meet your friends in town. I was ready by 11, grabbed a bottle of Blue Taboo (Classy Bird), and began my walk into town with Gemma, Jenn and suited up Joe.

My little sister Gemma and my friend Joe (whom I live with)

Me and Jenn: Afro Girls- defending the Universe from sleek hair. Just after I'd finihed a whole bottle of Taboo on my own and thrown it in the bin just around the corner.

We Sexy Divas, were on our way to meet the Seymours. Joseph and Laurie Seymour are two of my closest friends and live just down the road from me in Falmouth, whenever I have a free day I'm either at their house or with the Devoran Crew (we will come onto them later). Now these Sexy Seymours (the picture that follows will proove it) were dressed as Sailors, and God Damn they looked Smooooth!

Try and control yourselves ladies

We arrived at Club I- the only club in Falmouth- but I still love it, and were greeted by my friend Ed, in a very drunken state, from then on I knew the night was going to be a belter.

The Devoran Crew include Mike, Ed, Steven and Ben, and when they are all out you know the night is going to be amazing! I have a lot of love for these boys and they let me tag along with them, not sure why, most likely for my amazing conversation and incredible wit, otherwise known as the twins.

This following photo is my favourite of the whole night, as it captures everyone in their drunken states, and I get to be in a picture with the Devoran Crew.

If you read back through my blog when I said Ed was the most drunk, look at the faces, can you tell which one is Ed, and no it's not the one in the black, that's Steven, he's just weird.

L-R Me, Steven, Ed, Mike, Ben

I won't be putting anymore of the photos on here because from then on the night gets pretty messy, but I will show you how it ended.

Once we all went back to Ed's to check on his vomit covered ass, we all ended up crashing at his flat, mostly on his floor or a few of us lucky ones (me!) squeezed ourselves into an armchair. It was an amazing night.

Halloween was a slightly better night in my opinion, but New Years Eve was still Brilliant, same time next year boys :)

A Salter Christmas

Hello Again...

So,my Xmas Day consisted of working at the hotel 11-5 then rushing home to my wondeful family who had postponed Xmas all day for me :D

My Auntie Sue made a cracking Roast with cracking and everything!

Plus my sister Gemma, our friend Megan and myself had made Xmas Jumpers, like the ones you had as a kid, with big bows and sparkles on them. And I'm sure you want to se a picture of that :)

I can take a good photo and pose for one too. We Rocked Christmas!
Then after we opened our presents, including a small Canon camera from my mum, and sock (YES!), us girls- Sue, Mum and Myself- began our attack on the Xmas Booze, whilst Gemma took on her one woman battle with the leftover food.

A Nice Family Christmas, as always. It was also very nice to have my 4 year old cousin Marissa with us to add the extra excitement that you still have as a child, it's heartwarming to see.

My next blog will be on the Mayhem that was New Years Eve!
Then the Christmas Staff Party ... oh I love my life ;)

Happy New Year!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while. My laptop has broken and I haven't been able to get on here over Xmas.

I'm borrowing a friends laptop at the moment so can't be on for too long.

Just thought I would tell you about some exciting bits. I took the photographs for my Grandma's Weddings back in September

Aren't they BE-A-U-TIFUL!

And now the New Year holds the exciting new prospect of Artistic shoots with models, now that I have signed up to Model Mayhem (www.modelmayhem.com - Look for Catherine Frances :D)
I just need to save up for that Canon I have always dreamed of... but until then my FujiFilm will do.

My New Years Resolution is to update this blog every week, I promise!

On Saturday I went to Sticker's Party in the Park (who needs Glastonbury right!). My dad's band Boho Boulevard was playing and it was the first time I had ever seen them. So here are a few photos of them.


 

And here they are in all their glory... that is all for today.

End of my 2nd year!

Howdy!
Just finished my 2nd year of University, and I am very happy to be having some time off.
So now to look forward to some extra shifts at work and more money :D
Just bought myself a few bits like dresses :D and I shall post some pictures when I wear them. I'm hoping to be able to write some more through the summer holidays and possibly send off a manuscript by the end of the year.

Might be moving from St. Austell to Falmouth soon, so I am trying to save money so I can move in with my friend Joe.
Not much else more to tell you, I haven't done a huge amount except slogging away doing my Uni work.

Picture??? I'll upload one of me and Joe - we're as close as brother and sister :)

Alex, Joe, Me @ Joe's Birthday

Thursday- Saturday

Thursday, I spent the day with my Caribean friend Jenn, for her birthday- we went boy shopping, game shopping and food shopping :) Then spent Friday with my bezzie Kaci, and slept over at my Auntie Kyrstie’s.

But unfortunately we didn't take any pictures on Thursday so I figured I would post some of my most recent photography encounter. I was asked by my Auntie Kyrstie to take some pictures of my cousins: Shannon (6) and Charlotte (3). So we made a little studio out of a duvet on the floor, and tried for an hour to get little Charlotte to smile. But when you say 'Smile' to Charlotte she doesn't flash her pearly whites at us she shouts back the word 'SMIIIILLLEEE'. So most of my shots were of Charlotte with her mouth wide open.

So I just had to keep taking shots as she moved around, creating a few blurred ones, but my Samsung FinePix is a beaut so I had good a few decent shots.

I gave them to my Auntie Kyrstie as a gift for her birthday- 3 lovely ones in a frame, and the rest of the Easter week pictures in an album

<<< Shannon, my little best friend. She is just like I used to be as a kid. But isn't she a little stunner.

This is Charlotte, she's currently going through the terrible twos at the moment and says no to everything, she'sa right little madam but she can also be really laidback.













I also met their new kitten: Simba, and although I don’t really like cats we got on quite well, so well infact that I let her sleep on my back :D I’ll post a picture of her because she is quite beautiful: like a mini leopard.




Just got back from work: knackered!
