Trivial Grumblings

I can never smile for a photograph. I have no idea how photogenic people do it.

It kinda works. I think. Or not.

Prefer people to have eyes, myself.

^This. The squinting thing looks quite obviously forced and unattractive to me, although it's possible that I'm saying that because I know those photos are part of a study, it's hard to say for sure.

There's a 24 hour Asda nearby-ish. No crowd, need a couple of bits.

Fuck off.

None of those people looked massively un-photogenic beforehand, but I do see what the guy's getting at.

I do wonder if being photogenic and good looking are that separate. Seems you have to be good looking or at least a good non-goofy kind of ugly.

But some people definitely do look good in pictures, then you meet them in person and it might be something about the way their face moves when they talk or some strange mannerisms that makes them really unattractive.

I hope there's a difference anyway, I look hideous in every photo and I always hope I'm not truly so hideous in person

Yeah that's true for a lot of people. Some people are the opposite, then you meet them in person and it's all of the charming sensual vibes.

I'm just very angular and untoward really

Didn't get accepted into uni for the course i wanted, prett devastated and now I'm left with 2 choices with interviews that I'm not really interested in and have to create a whole new portfolio to resemble the work they are looking for. Thinking of just fucking it all off and working the whole summer. I needed this course to carry on because I'm lacking in enthusiasm and motivation in my work and it shows. I knew only having 2 A levels would come back to haunt me

I didn't get into my first choice of uni. Ended up doing something totally different. Turns out neither course was directly related to my current career.

My point is, your choices aren't set in stone.

I've only got A levels in Art or Textiles and that's all I really wanted to do , granted they're completely useless but it would be helpful if there was more choice other than 'history of art' or 'fashion' and various other crap they can add onto a course which seem completely redundant. I guess I'll go for a foundation year. Its just annoying that the choice for more isn't out there when you don't have the points to get into a course

Make a list of your favourite artists and contact them asking if you can study with them if you pay them £5k a year or something

Feel shitty and haven't been able to think or sleep properly for 3 days now, keep overheating and suddenly jerking awake in my sleep when I do manage to get some.
I'm not sure if it's related to the immense 3 day hangover I had last week, but I'm pretty sure it is. Beer gives me a hard time these days.

The smiles made them more photogenic if anything.

English shop opening times are silly.

[Jim]

10am-4pm every Sunday. Only garages and convenience stores are open longer.

Still very much in the dark ages down here.

Also, most small town high street shops are shut or have restricted opening hours at the weekends.

Which is dumb, because that's when folk with money usually are off work, therefore have time to wander into town and spend money. No surprise town centres are fucked, really.
