Hey everyone! Ok so it has been WAY to long since I have updated about my experiences with living in London. Have been so busy with work I have not thought about doing updates. To explain I don't have a full time job, or even one or two part time jobs. What I was able to find was a gallery called: @ Work Gallery, they sell contemporary jewellery from local artists. What they offered was a work exchange deal, so I am working three and a half hours a week for free in their gallery in exchange to be bale to use their jewellery workshop for free! Yup, I am making my own work again, and it dose feel great to be able to make my own designs again. So I have been there almost non stop trying to create a body of work and enough stock to be able to show case in the gallery hopefully and/or run my own stall at a market somewhere in the city. If anyone wants to view what work I have done in the past please check out my website: www.joshuaemmerons.com. Just click on my name and then what area you would like to view. My sister: Hannah Strang, dose not have her site up yet but hopefully will be done soon.
A random question I have to put out there, well I have to explain the context. Got introduced to a girl from a friend online, and we had been chating for just over a year I guess but never meet in person. I was in Bermuda she was in New Hampshire. So when she fly over to visit her family in Ireland she stopped over in London to finally meet up. She is a lovely girl and a good friend but I did not want it to be anything else. Well it turned out that she did. So after going to a early Bermuda day party in London (May 4th when it should have been May 24th) and then to a friends house for a after party we start to head home. I live with another Bermudian so I was out with him and his gf as well. So she makes her move and wants to come home with me, I said no your not and list of the reasons why and that I want to stay as friends... she bluntly says: no, she IS coming home with me. I mean this girl REALLY would not take no for an answer. It got me thinking though, reverse the situation and it was me who was saying no I WAS going to go home with her, I would had the cops called me in a New York Minute. We did end up not going home together but for a long story with a short question: When a girl doesn't take no for an answer, is that any different from a guy doing the same thing? It was just creepy really.
So otherwise my signing up with the UK Army reserve has taken a back seat. It seems that I must be discharged from the Bermuda Regiment before I can sign on to the UK Reserve. This si really annoying, seeing as the Bermuda Regiment is a compulsory service of three year part time service. Now you are allowed to leave the island before that three years is up if you are studying abroad or moving over seas, like I did. So now I have to figure out if I can get discharged early from the Bermuda Regiment in order to sign up for the UK Reserve. Going to be interesting trying t figure all this out. Its going take months I can tell you that!!! Bermuda Regiment is so stubborn its less likely to move than a French man living next to a brothel. Ok so that's all the news I have for right now, I will try to update more regularly. But keep an eye out for photos of my new work, hope to have them done by the end of the month! Ciao.
