My Bio
What to say? That hasn't already been said? I detest repeating myself, but the curse of too many profiles and a small imagination deems that necessary.
I live, I love, I learn.
I require daily beauty, a smile, a thought, a painting, a song. I'm in love with decorating the body in ink, but am scared of needles. I am a metal chick who knows the words to Britney Spears songs. I talk too much and yet people are still surprised with how little I tell them. I eat bananas. I draw stars, badly. I am fascinated with everything, until it bores me and I never think of it again. I hate talking on the phone for more than five minutes. I think make up can be art. I still think Bambi's mum just wanted a nap. I own more books than most charity shops (I should know, I've cleaned alot out!). I just threw away 12 pair of shoes I'd never wear again but am still mourning the loss. I've never learned to play the guitar. I can touch my eyeball. I think cola tastes better out of a glass bottle. I will never stop trying.
I will always reach for the stars.
Current Residence: Glasgow
Favourite genre of music: as above!
Favourite photographer: Ellen Von Unwerth
Favourite style of art: Anything that makes me think - or just pretty for pretty's sake!
Operating System: XP Pro for the win!
MP3 player of choice: anything with batteries (now where have I heard that before...)
Favourite cartoon character: Boo from Monsters Inc.
Personal Quote: These eyes are not your eyes...

Yesterday used to be the future.

Working.
Then, hairdressers.
Feeling better that my much butchered hair (don't go to Flicks, is all I'm saying) was looking itself again, albeit a shorter version of it, the day seemed brighter even though it was overcast.
As I was walking up Union Street, two handsome men were walking down it.
We made eye contact.
I smiled.
So did they.
I let my gaze drift downwards.
They were holding hands.
Just two lovers, no big thing.
Just taking a stroll down a busy Glasgow street in the City Centre.
I looked back up, by now we were inches away from each other.
I smiled, a real, big smile that now that had nothing to do with my hair, the day

Homelessness
0 min read
Yesterday I had a visit from NewArt, a company putting together a DVD for my Housing Association. Basically, they wanted me to talk about how I became homeless, and what led me to apply for the Partick Association. Of course, I wanted to talk about it, because recently, I've discovered I actually want to spread the word. Being in the position of having to declare yourself homeless isn't shameful, and it can lead to the most wonderful things, made all the more wonderful because you can't quite believe your luck will turn when life has beaten you down so low.
J.R.R. Tolkien called it the eucatastrophe. The sudden change of what seems utterly h

A little help/advice
0 min read
Ok, I've decided to pick out a few pieces of my personal blog as examples of my writing for a portfolio. So I would love some help. If anyone has a spare whatever, can you look through it and see what you think are the best examples? Either comment here or my blog. Thanks in advance if you can! (anything I've posted here, too, if you think it's good)
Oh, and criticism is always welcome too, of course!
