Can't do, Won't do work Tuesday

Can't do and won't do work today. Started off as always with good intentions but alas alack it's not to be and stuff.
Instead its Gilmore Girls, Neutral Milk Hotel and threading a string through the hood of my jumper.


Off to dream of tattoos and biking.

Oh Summer, Where Art Thou?

Seriously though? Dead feet and jumpers do not = summer.

Cold, wet and windy day today. Mew playing and a foggy head. Oh come on now.

so this is what it boils down to

tomorrow i have my interview for art foundation at queens road. i really really want it.
had my mock interview with my art teacher at 4 o clock. i need to be concise and sell myself aghh!

i have been listening to quite a lot of test icicles recently to let out some of my anxiety- not by crying.

todays highlight had to be mrs davies losing it while she was reading a poem. hilarious, shes so overly dramatic... athene loved it.

i am not going to do any work tonight, instead drink and watch a depressing film so i feel inspired.

wish me luck.

Currently Listening: Fleet Foxes: He Doesn't Know Why

Currently Wearing: Silent Noise Jeans + Grey AA Hoody. Hair in a plait wound around my head, a la Heidi.

I didn't buy the nice tshirt i saw today and i regret it.

New Day, New Post:

This weather makes my teeth hurt (cold rain)

This band makes my ear ring with happiness (Past Lives)

This man makes me want to grow a beard (or not...)

i died 7 times last night

last night i dreamt i was walking down a road that turned into a massive hill and i satrted falling... i can still hear the noise my head made when it hit a wall. ye iv been having some severly fucked up dreams recently. i blame school, boys and the severe lack of food currently in my stomach.

So this week i learnt a lot about myself. after having a mini break down during the film 'Capote' athene pointed out to me that i get too emotionally involved, not only in films but in life. this is so true and i haven never realised it. its scarey she knows me better than i know myself.

the other dicovery about myself is that i fancy men who are a) killers or b) just bad for me. i would like to point out that i only fancy killers in films. Perry in 'Capote' is just a massige hottie. the same goes for christian bale in 'American Psycho'. I was scarily turned on by him in the scene when he is running down a corrider cmpletely starkers covered in blood, with a dirty great chain saw. i think his beauty peaked at that moment.

anyway my aims for next week are to not get hurt or fucked up, as this is on the horizon. also maybe sort out my art,watch more depressing films and be inspired.

wish me luck.

So This Is The New Year And I Don't Feel Any Different

Current obsession: Death Cab


I don't feel any different though. I hoped, prayed to dear God, that I would be more motivated, drink more water/less coffee and eat better hopefully leading to very healthy weight loss whilst improving general health.
I can safely say I am only achieving one of the three and yes, it is a miracle but I am eating better than i have for ages and i do feel slightly hungry but also much healthier. The coffee malarkey is actually worse than ever...to make up for the lack of sweet foods I am drinking around 4 cups of often black coffee a day and getting splitting headaches by 8 in the evening.

You know those hats that those ice cold boys on their fixed wheeled bike wear? like a hat that you'd expect a pom pom on the top of yet there is none...? Isabelle pointed out today how they look a little bit, no, quite a lot like condoms. Thanks Isabelle for ruining them for me now. Thanks a lot.

Two more days till the weekend. I plan to carry on being obsessed with Death Cab, purchase an excellent pair of pull on jeans (leggings but denim...amazing - PLEASE HAVE THEM IN STOCK U.OUTFITTERS) and watch Hustle with friends.

Right Simpsons and Hollyoaks calls. I need to find my glasses too.

im sat drinking herbal tea

yesterday i started my diet, alogside athene and my mother, hence the herbal tea.
In the past i have never been able to diet, this could be because of a lack of motivation or just the sheer amount i eat.
but hopefully this time it will be a success. i wanted to go for a run tonight but have been conveniently distracted by an essay on Blake. so for so good.
iv been at school for two days know and already my hair is greasy and my skin is shit. the stress is getting to me. luckily my main subject, art is going well.

i am doing a project on hands but have developed into dress making by sewing 200 latex gloves on a black jersey dress. i had a small epiphany when thinking about it today, i thoight i could do an elizabethan style collar to go round and make it all about the neck and shoulders like victor and rolf. alongside this project im doing my written project, which i havent decided the title yet but am thinking about technology and how it has developed fashion. looking at designers like hussein chalayan. it is very interesting researching it all.

recently i have been listening to quite a lot of Morrissey. i forget how good it is, romatically depressing. it seems to be the only thing that can actually send me to sleep. the album louder than bombs is my favourite. recommended listen.

the blake essay is calling

Last Min Panics Over Not Done Essays

Currently listening: Mogwai - I Love You, I'm Going To Blow Up Your School.

Back to school tomorrow. Three weeks of coffee, walks and sleeping at least 12 hours every night over.

At Christmas I received a tone of books including an amazing one of 'art by the people' called Outsiders, 261 full colour pages of beautiful fresh art. Excellent. It has been distracting me from the numerous essays which need to be done by tomorrow....

Sunday is as ever a pj day. Really cute pale blue and pink tartan bottoms and the trusty AA navy hoody - where would i be without this perfect combination.

NY resolutions i am considering:
-drink more water or just drink water
-go to bed an hour earlier than i was doing at the end of last term
-get a job...maybe....
-use the gym membership i apparently have or at least go swimming

Those are all so boring but realistic.
Oh, and i want to get some A levels too please.

hai

hello
i am isabelle
im not a very good typist therefore am apologising in advance for the many typos you will encounter. I love fashion and athene wold probably say im quite 'experimental' with my dress sense (her way of saying im whacky!). I also make a few of m clothes and today had my first day at my new job; FABRICLAND! its great i get discount and everyones really nice.
Im reall excited about 2009, 2008 was a bit shit; i wont bore you with the details, but i broke several laws and the rents found out a bit too much about me.

anyway, 09 il being doing my art foundation and hopefully getting into london college of fashion or saint martins, so hopefully it will be a lucky year. I was saying to athene the other day that i can have a shitty ten years after that but i thibnk im going to need luck this year.

after my first day at fabricland i was given 40 quid for working today and i thought to myself iv got half an hour to kill before my bus comes, so of course i went to american apparel. i bought one of those hoody dresses, which now imregretting because i couldnt see the size and thought it looked about right so bought it, got home wont fit over the boobs. so now iv got about thirty quid to spend in aa and dont know what to spend it on.

anyway im off now

New Year - New Blog

I started this blog about 14 months ago with the hope of writing a sort of brutally honest diary which people might read now and then and find something in it that was interesting or amusing, but attempting to write 400 words or so a day on top of school work and just life wasn't very practical so after not very long I totally gave it up, in fact I have deleted everything that was ever on here. Twothousandandnine = fresh start.
With limited time left at home I wanted to create a blog that would document the simple lives of my best friend and I and one that we would carry on doing even when we would not be in the same city (after October 2009). I didn't even have to try and pitch the idea to Isabelle. She loved it immediately and had already been thinking about doing such a thing, so we decided to get on as soon as we could.
In the entries to this humble blog will be clothes,dreams, art, music and real lives.

See you in a while crocodile and bonne année!
