what sarah said

So. In two days I’ve had my knuckled rapped twice. Once for failing to update my flickr page, then again for not updating here. I’m working on it, guys! I finally finally took some more photos this evening (apparently the last time I went out with my camera was last October which is frankly appalling) and am going to be uploading them to flickr over the weekend. Well, hopefully. I’m staying with my sister for a couple of days and am relying entirely on their temperamental internets. Let me rephrase: I’m going to be attempting to upload them to flickr over the weekend.

Soooo yeah. I went to a gig this evening. Hoxton. Eurgh. I will never understand why such a vile little corner of London has become so “trendy”. It’s filthy, it’s full of nasty looking takeaways, it stinks, it’s just….. grim. One thing that did make me laugh was a young gentleman in skinny jeans and a vest, with his hair pointing upwards saying why he doesn’t like his friend any more “he’s too arty for me”. Oh God. Pot? Kettle? Black?
Anyway, Shoreditch sucks. We all knew that already.
Yeah, so the gig was Matt Berry. I tried to take some photos but they’re not as good as I’d hoped. The venue really does have the worst lighting ever. They light the stage with a mixture of blue and red lights! A photographers nightmare. Anyway, here’s a COMPLETELY UNEDITED one of my pics from this evening. Be kind.

It’s not often I’m in Hoxton, and it’s not en experience I’d care to repeat. It’s all a bit too Nathan Barley for me, but it really was a fun evening. Such a shame that the lovely Kirsten couldn’t make it, but alas, she was too busy carving out a televisional career for herself as a star in the new series of The IT Crowd. I would totally have ditched me too 😛

Do I have any other news?
Oh, I have a stupid head. I also have some lovely drugs for my stupid head. So, I’ve been getting migraines and bouts of vertigo pretty much daily for a while and it finally annoyed me enough to get me to go to the dr’s yesterday. I disagree entirely with her diagnosis, but we’ll see. She thinks it’s worsened by anxiety and that maybe I should think about talking to someone. I informed her that I am a Virgo, and as such, am a natural worrier.
On a similar note, it’s been a funny week mood-wise and I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who was kind to me, even when I was at my most exasperating. I just get like it sometimes, it’s not nice. But it’s so wonderful to have so many amazing people who actually pay attention to me and make me feel better. So to everyone who showed me such kindness (you know who you are) I offer you my sincerest gratitude.

I think I’m babbling now. Apologies! It’s nearly 2am and I’m dropping with exhaustion. Bedtime.
