Massive Attack were fucking awesome!!!! Seriously... I can't even describe how it felt to be dancing to Unfinished Sympthany in the pouring rain, inebriated on a cocktail of copious amounts of various narcotics. Was a special moment. The whole weekend was awesome.. Leeds & Manchester have so much more to offer than Norwich. Every time I leave this place full of inbreds I grow to hate it more and more. In 2 weeks my mate leaves this place to go to Uni in Leeds.... gonna miss him loads - we have awesome times... but I'm gonna be visitiing him and abusing his sofa as often as possible! Oh, Amsterdam - how I wish you were mine.. ..
Anyways.. a few pictures from the weekend:
What am I doing?
Me & Jonny
Me & some hot chick. Can't remember her name.
Gaylor, Me & Emma. Me rocking the trademark squinty eye.
Jonny & Gaylor.. Both moved to Leeds... well, Gaylor does in 2 weeks. Fuckers.
Don't ya just love how incredably 'sober' I look.
In SGUK they're doing this Frequently Asked Questions thing. So here's mine: (under the spolier).
Have a wee ganders. Feel free to ask questions so I can add to it.
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
So, why Lashes?
It's my real life nickname. A few years ago it was the only thing people knew me by.
So what is you're your real name?
A name which my mother gave to me around almost 24 years ago.
Oh ok.. So you're not going to tell us then?
Not right now, no.
So what about your fringe then.. Have you always had one?
I had one for most of my childhood but then grew it out when I was about 11ish. I cut it back in a few years ago.
Is it hiding anything?
Actually yes. A scar across the bridge of my nose and another massive one in the middle of my forehead.
How'd you do those?
I was underneath a snooker table when it collapsed.
Did you cry?
I reckon so yeah - I was only 4!
So, What's that tattoo on your wrist say?
Charlie.
Ah cool..so is THAT your real name?
Nope.
Your boyfriends name?
Nah.. His name is Matt.
So who's Charlie?
He's the son I lost 2 years ago.
Shit. Sorry to hear that.
Yeah..but I bet you're glad I told you now instead of over a pint? Definitely a conversation killer and the maker of uncomfortable moments.
I guess. And that one on your chest? What does that one say?
It means Family in Hebrew.
Why there?
Well..I wanted it over my heart, but that would have meant it would have been off-centre.. so I got it done just to the left of it.
Do you have any more tattoos?
Yeah, I have 4 altogether.
Do you want more?
Yeah, loads. It's a case of time and money though at the moment. I pretty much know what I want I want - it's just getting them done.
So, you're into tattoos and somewhere on here I noticed kinda naked pics of you. You wanna be a SG?
I wouldn't mind yeah. That was one of the reasons why I joined the site. I'm in no rush though, and I do often change my mind about it. We'll see what happens. My hair definitely has to grow back first though.
Your hair?
Yeah. I hate it at the mo. I cut it off and it's rank. I don't feel like me at all. I really badly miss my long hair.
So, what do you do at the mo?
I work in Mexican restaurant as a waitress. It's minimum wage, but the tips more that make up for it - and I really enjoy it.
Whats your long term goal though? You're what, almost 24.. Surely you don't want to be a waitress forever?
Hell no I don't want to be a waitress forever!! I intend on going into the Prison Service but that's a life long commitment. At the moment I'm just happy working and saving money so I can travel and stuff before settling down into a career.
Where do you wanna go?
Anywhere. Everywhere. I really badly want to move to Amsterdam and the plan was to do just that next year. But we'll see what happens there as there's things happening at home that may stop me from doing that for a while.
Like what?
Nosey.
Fair dos. That a shark tattoo on your foot? Is it real? Did it hurt?
Yes it's real, yes it's a shark and yes it hurt like hell!
Why a shark? They're mean bastards.
I love sharks, they're great. I hope to one day swim with them - would be fucking awesome!
You're nuts.
Uh huh.
are you sick of mexican food?
that woud be ssda
