In fact, it's been a year since I last wrote on here. I am now fast approaching my 22nd year on this planet; a terrifying thought, and over the course of this year much has occurred. I have finished my second year at university, soon to begin my third and final year, another horrifying prospect. Many of my friends have finished their courses now and are on the look out for full time jobs. I can honestly confirm the thought of getting a real job and doing something with my life is the last thought on my mind; the mere thought of full employment makes me wretch a little. Speaking of jobs, I now have (a part-time) one! I am currently working at a Bose store, selling fancy speakers and headphones to the people of Meadowhall in Sheffield (Westfield for northerners). And now that I have a regular income it means that I can afford more than one meal a day and that I can occasionally buy nice things. Like lunches and my new camera. My new camera which will be helping to shoot our final films next year, something I'm very excited for. For anyone interested, here are links to two of the films I made this year - 'Wasted Words' and 'Drop'. Hopefully the ones we make next year will be even better.
This summer I also made it to Spain for Benicassim Festival for good friends and good music. As with all excellent festivals, I spent the majority of my time there inebriated, got a horrible builder's tan and saw some live music for the first time in a while. Highlights included seeing Maccabees for the millionth time, drunken escapades on a wooden bus powered by pissed tourists, dancing to this, getting a henna tattoo and being the sweatiest I've ever been in a dance tent. Literally I was dripping, it was gross. I've also moved from my haggard, mould-infested home on Brocco Bank to a shinier new place a mere ten minute walk away. It's nice to be able to lay in bed and not be able to see my breath. Also, the view's not too bad.
