final major project
Title: One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Kisses |Emails From an Old Lover
I gathered all of the emails that my exboyfriend has written to me during the short and longdistant relationship of ours. 1,920 kisses are all the number 'x' that he's written in the emails.
Each red page is to show the begining of each month. You can see during the first few months the spaces between the red pages are much more than at the end of the book. Towards the end of the book, there are less emails or no emails at all during the months.
Here is an illustration I took from a photo of us New Years of 2006. I remembered that night completely. After we had our New Years kiss, he told me that he could love me one day. Since moving to London in September, this was the photo that I pretty much looked at every night. It reminded me of the good times we had when life wasn't stressful.
At the end of the book, I wanted to have the strength to pick up the match and burn the memories I had with him. Since putting this book together, I haven't fully read through the book. I don't want to burn the book cause it turned out to be a beautiful art work to me. But I have burned the feelings out of my head. I have recently met someone new that has taken over my heart and thoughts. Unfortunately it was very short but very sweet. So another heartache to fuel my creative mind.

Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow sew
Tea, I drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to do...oh oh oh

Kate Walsh-Tonight
You don't know about me
And you don't care what affair still haunts me
And you don't know what it is about me
And I don't care, I don't care if you love me
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight will be alright...
And I don't know about you
And I don't care about the girl behind you
And I don't know what it is about you
It makes me want to run and jump inside you
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight, tonight will be alright...
You don't understand why my heart feels bad
From the love you hold out in your hand
And you offer it without command
I just don't know why I can't get you inside,
Why I need you tonight...
Cause you don't know about me,
And you don't care how this affair will break me.
And why should I care about you, if you don't care,
You don't care that i love you?
You don't know about me
And you don't care what affair still haunts me
And you don't know what it is about me
And I don't care, I don't care if you love me
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight will be alright...
And I don't know about you
And I don't care about the girl behind you
And I don't know what it is about you
It makes me want to run and jump inside you
Tonight in each other we'll hide
Tonight we'll leave our troubles behind
Tonight we'll be whoever we like
Tonight, tonight will be alright...
You don't understand why my heart feels bad
From the love you hold out in your hand
And you offer it without command
I just don't know why I can't get you inside,
Why I need you tonight...
Cause you don't know about me,
And you don't care how this affair will break me.
And why should I care about you, if you don't care,
You don't care that i love you?
My Street
Woop Woop!
wow. it has been long. Happy Easter. The weather is getting much much better. Me happy. I feel like a true londoner, trying to find every inch of the sun when i'm outside! I guess its time for a bit of spring cleaning. Uni is starting back up again. boo. hopefully time will fly very fast and i;ll get to be in sunny la very very soon!
I've got a cold.
again. I've started back up interning at Canoe again. Decided that if I'm not looking for a job, I should get my ass up and at least do something! I've got two weeks to work on my Final Major Project. Haven't done shite for it. I have to have 2 full sketch books filled and a personal diary. shit. shit. shit. I think I'm taking procrastinating a little too far. I can't believe that I have to only be at Canoe at 9:30am, and I still manage to be late. Oh well, thank goodness that they're not paying me cause I probably would of been fired. It's nice to walk through Brick Lane to get to work. I seem to always find something new to look at on the way (wish there were fit boys walking ahead of me).
The monkey lost his balls
I'm a doofus
funniest thing happened today. i was rushing to catch the train, the door closed on my face. i'm not joking. my hands and face smacked the door! then i realised that the bottom of my zipper was caught between the door. so i tugged it loose. caught the next one. when i was leaving out the station, i was about to zip up my jacket then realised that my zipper was gone. ripped off my jacket! what sucked as well was that i had a little monkey trinket on my zipper, cost me bout 4 quid. that, was gone as well. poo. so, i have a broken jacket. oh well. that made myself giggle for a couple mins.
A cold Sunday...
Well, no one seemed to be around today. Maybe they didn't want to hang out with me, but I decided to go to the Queen Elizabeth Hall today to watch the Human Beat Box Convention! Twas a nice day to snuggle up with a cup of coffee inside and get warm with some londoners. These guys were amazing! Couldn't beleive the stuff that came out of their mouths! Well, the weather has been a bit odd lately. Hot on day, fooking freezing the other day! Almost froze off my hands walking home today! Well............SPRING BREAK!!!
Here Kitty!
well, i really wonder if anyone reads this? well, i've decided to to pass on all the offers and go for Brighton University. I'm putting all my eggs in one basket and hope than I can get my shit together and put a good portfolio to convince the guys that I'm a great designer. Wish me luck. I think the interview will be around the beginging of April. It's spring break for me Americana! That means we should get all our tits out, well, just my knat bits really!! I'm enjoying the sunshine!!!

Trend Alert!!!!!
Big news in the celebrity scene. Lara Hoad has started a new trend. Started in London during the Christmas holiday, the dog/rug blanket has picked up as the new wrap. Posh Spice was seen at Paris Fashion week wearing the next new thing. If you want to look like Posh Spice don't wait for Top Shop or H&M to make a slight copy, just take your dog's blanket and wrap it around your shoulders! Don't be a twat and not be seen on the streets of LA wearing the 'dog/rug scarf'!!!
A white London.
Woke up this morning and was a little depressed. Opened the blinds and "What?!" Snow!!!! It snowed about two inches in central London lastnight. I couldn't believe my eyes. Brought a smile to my face for a long day at uni. Just wanted to say happy birthday to my mexican lover Crissy! Happy snowy birthday! Can't believe you're only 23! So young!
Sun.
The sun has poked out throught the London skies today. What a beautiful day. Eventhough it was shit weather all week, I do love it when a little sunshine comes out to start the weekend. Get out in your bikinis and soak up the sun! ....I wish I can do that!
Brighton
I went to Brighton and visited the Uni. Twas very nice. I'm thinking about going and moving into 'The Glass Pavilion', opposite The Royal Pavilion!!! Waking down the street in Brighton and saw a little Rogue Status tag on the 'LA Fitness' wall....boys will be boys. Had a wicked time hanging out with my mexican sistas. Just wanted to say thanx to Sarah for having me. It was nice to go out with 18 year olds and drink with students. Thanks for showing me that Brighton does not have any fit boys. That's alright though, I can concentrate on my studies if I move there!
Karma
I've been taking bits and pieces from my kitchen mates. I haven't been stealing food, but maybe sometimes if I ran out of butter, I'd dip my knife into their bucket. But the other night I made myself some fish and chips. I went to grab the ketchup from my fridge and shook it. It felt and sounded like I was shaking a water bottle. I looked at it and it looked as if someone used my ketchup then watered it down! I couldn't believe it. It was proper runny!! I didn't mind them using some ketchup, but they didn't have to ruin the whole bottle and pour water in it. I guess they must of used up the whole bottle or something! Oh well, I guess I deserved that. I finished my bag of chips anyways so, that alright in the end. I've been sleeping at 4am everyday this past week. Very exhasting! But I'm feeling very productive. Keeping my mind busy. Going to Brighton tomorrow to see the "Mexican Sisters" (crissy and sarah). Should be fun.
2007
Happy New Years everyone. I know I've been lacking on the ol' blog. I had a great Christmas and New Years. Larax came back to her yellow teeth country for the holidays. Lara was kind enough to ask me over for Christmas. Yeah! I didn't have to spend Christmas in my 4x4 depressing room! Had a great Christmas over at the Hoads. Yum yum food in my tum! Went to Dorset for new years. Would post photos up, but lost all my amazing photos. It was so much fun, you would have to of been there. I miss you already Larax! Come back! Well....this year is going to be a very busy year! I can't believe I've been here for almost 5 months already! Time flies when you're in London! Hope everyone's had a good start. (here's a photo of larax. you can get larax's runway look!!! Jeans-Topshop, jacket-H&M, hat-Target, fuggs-Primark, scarf(actually a dog blanket)-PetShop)
