Yes, these are my breasts. Every woman has them.
I got a haircut.



I'm as attentive as ever.

So recently there's something about my boobs that have made people stare relentlessly at them. They barely exist so I don't know exactly why they would stare, but they do.

Thursday I was on a bus with some of my friends; they occupied the back row, and I sat in front of them. This hairy old man gets on, passes about 20 free seats, comes to the back and sits next to me, while I was gorging myself on a triple chocolate sundae (yum!). I can only imagine he was senile because he wasn't exactly being very discreet about where he was looking, and I got poked fun of by Ben and Naj, who said he fancied me :( Thank fuck he got off the bus before we did, he might've expected me to climb over his lap to get off. Or get him off. Whichever you fancy.

Yesterday I had these two men sat beside me on the train that were actually leaning over to take a good look, under the pretence that they were checking the map. My coat went straight up, and it didn't help that two other guys were following me on the train.

Aaaand on Wednesday I got hit on on the train. I tried my best to ignore it but this guy kept waving his hand in front of me, and it was getting closer to my face, so I had to say something to make him go away. The hot weather seems to make everyone go crazy!

I went around Naj's place last week to do some revision, and much revision was done in between eating and pissing around talking about random crap. I got bored on one of the mornings and took a load of random pictures to kill some time before I had to leave.





On Thursday I had an exam (which is why I was on a bus. I usually try to avoid buses, they make me sick but there was no other way to get to the venue) which went pretty well. The questions were amazing, but I hadn't done a lot of revision. I'm sure I did well enough to pass the course, but how well I don’t know. I guess it's not a very good sign that I finished a 3 hour exam in half the time. But I wasn't the only one, so either pretty much everyone failed, or it really was that easy. People have been calling me crazy because I've been talking to my lecturer about how the exam went. I felt he had a right to know, he wrote it after all! After the exam we all decided to relax a little so we went to the park. Naj attracted many flies due to her smoking (we assumed), and there were many squirrels around.

Me: I think my trousers are too low, my arse might be hanging out.
Ben: A squirrel might try to get in them.
Me: It’ll find no nuts in there.

I dunno.

Me: Margaret Thatcher's a fucking bitch.
Gav: She’s from Grantham, show some respect.
Me: Margaret Thatcher's a fucking whore.

Oh how I look forward to moving up there…

I was with Gav yesterday, we went to IMAX to watch Speed Racer :D We had some time to kill before the film started so we went to Zavvi, where we took this picture!



Yes, it's awesome, I know. Though he's missing an arm, which is why I was standing where I am. We went Nandos for lunch, and just to prove I do actually eat, Gav took this picture of me:



And I finished all that off :D I feel very piggy all of a sudden.

Anyway, Speed Racer was awesome. But I'm easily impressed with bold colours, fast cars, and action. I didn't grow up on the cartoons so I wouldn’t know how accurate the film is, or if it's only just loosely based on the cartoons. If you can't stand kids films though, don't watch it. Gav hated the brat and his monkey, because they were just pointless. I see his point, but they didn't really irk me.

I have a big week (and a half) ahead of me again. I have another exam on Friday, and I'm going around Ben’s to revise for that three days, and I have to see Gav, and Sina, and sit the exam, and then revise for the next and final exam on Wednesday! Big week and a half. I can't believe I will have finished Uni in a week and a half. I'm really nervous about graduating, and whether or not I’ll pass well enough to actually be able to graduate. It's best not to think about it until after the exams. I'm pretty glad I'm jetting off to Egypt not long after I finish my exams, it'll keep my mind off it. And at least I would have had a good summer even if I do fail :p

I had a fun conversation with Gav yesterday...

Gav: Look at her taste in guys.
Me: It's not just guys.
Gav: Look at her taste in clothes.
Me: It's not just clothes.
Gav: OK, look at her taste.
Me: What taste?
Gav: OK, look at her.
Me: I'd rather not.

Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me. I’ll probably blog in another month or something.

Another GarDeN CriTteR!
Slimy snails define determination. Efficient escargot!

I am surprised at myself for saying, these critters are another favourite! Not because I enjoy their company in the garden as I don't, quite honestly. They do quite a bit of damage to many of the plants I enjoy growing. But we are attempting to learn to live together and in the process I've learned to admire specific aspects of the common garden snail. They became a subject of observation sometime last year and that activity inspired me in many exciting ways. I was encouraged to find ways to make my images available to others (in their large format) for their own purposes. I was also inspired to promote and share my thoughts on what I am learning and experiencing through observations of the natural world I am both grateful and lucky to enjoy!

(no backbone, no spine... poster shot)

This creature is fascinating in many ways. There is no backbone in a snail's body, yet she can carry a house on her back! He moves as slow as thick molasses and almost as messy and yet in days he can devastate a garden plant, be it flower or vegetable! Dedicated, determined, diligent - quite the incredible critter. As a very young garden pest they are almost identical to their parents, though tiny in scale and they are slightly transluscent.

(tiny garden snails on human hand, macro shot)

Their species seem to have evolved very little and they are hermaphrodites, fertilizing each other's eggs when they mate. I had the thought that calling a snail he or she is completely irrelevant or fully interchangeable, depending on how you look at it! They certainly won't have gender issues! And they give me pause too, when considering that even with their determination and their dual sexuality, they still need to join with another in order to create new life. There's something to ponder in that and its' implications make me curious!

Well Mr Snail hows Alice these days?
This shot reminds me of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass"
