Wtf… The ordering of posts on my tumblog is completely messed up… The picture of the chair was posted first, then the text about the t-shirts from TWLOHA, and then the image of Paramore… This should appear on the top of the list, lets see if it does…
I’m really liking Paramore recently.
Grr. I got a couple of t-shirts for Christmas from To Write Love On Her Arms, but unfortunatly they were too big, and due to TWLOHA’s stupid returns policy (problem must be reported within 2 weeks of shipping..), I was unable to return them for the smaller size.. So, I was just going to buy them again when I next get paid.. But unfortunatly, now, one of my friends has bought one of the ones...

I love sites that use Georgia in a big and bold way. I would like to implement this is some of my designs. This site uses it very well: sitening.com
I have my first ever freelance pitch tonight. I’m very nervous. Its not really a site that I would choose to do if I had the choise, but then it is an opportunity to make some money, that is much needed at the moment! I’m a bit nervous about doing the design work though as its not my strongest point, and it is arguably the most important part of the site. I think that I may put more...
“Sometimes I hate being a christian, for no other reason than I then get put in the same box as all of the other christians.” - An exerpt from one of m previous posts, and this news article is a good example of that: A radical Baptist church in Kansas known for picketing the funerals of soldiers who perished in Iraq said it intends to protest Heath Ledger’s memorial service with...
“I hate it when christians…. Whine about not being fed on Sunday mornings...”

Its funny how listening to The Beach Boys brings a smile instantly to my face :)

Things to do in the next couple of months: Get out of debt. Its not fun, or pretty. Find out what I’m doing with the rest of the year. Buy a spare camera battery, remote, tripod, camera bag, and another lense. Pay the insurance on my car so I can finally start driving it, and pay the mechanic for the work he’s done. Get him a case of beer or something also for his hard work. Upgrade to...
God is good!!!! Since I wrote that blog post thismorning about being skint, I’ve been offered another freelance job! It would be more perminent, with an established company in the town, working with a friend who’s a really good designer! I’m not sure how I would stand with my current boss if I was to do freelance for one of the competition, but as I see it, we have enough work...
Oh my word, I’m totaly skint.. It sucks so badly! Maybe I shouldn’t have bought the camera at the start of the month… I’m about £500 in the red at the moment, and I just looked at my phone bill, which I expected to be a bit higher this month, so I factored in between £40 - £50, but in fact its £66.83… Crap.. Aaaaand, my car is ready, but unfortunatly I need to pay...
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. There’s so much in my head, some I just don’t know how to deal with. Feelings I need to deal with. People I need to talk to. People I need to not talk to. I feel really antisocial tonight, we had people around, about 10, but I just went up to my room. Shelter. Refuge. Its always there, privacy. Just me, God, my thoughts, and music (in...
I’ve had a few conversations with people recently about dating, and when you should, what you need to look for, etc. So, I’m writing this as a way of clarifying my own thoughts on it, but it may be useful for some other people.. Any girl I date, should be a Christian be of the same yoke care about the world, and humanitarian issues realise that love wins my mum would like be...
Doing design mockups in grayscale is actually great fun :) I think I should also start using a grid at some point.. However, it seems to be going alright at the moment without one…
I was thinking about possibly walking home during my lunch break to get some more food, but then it started raining heavily, so I think I’m meant to stay here :)
A quick question to anyone american who reads this blog: How many of you actually buy CD’s? I’ve been downloading my music for a while, and that is mainly because of the crazily high prices for CD’s.. Take an album for The Album Leaf for example. Now, my home town has 2 record stores that would be anywhere close to stocking this album (In a Safe Place), and neither of them do. I...
sometimes I would rather spend time with the kids at the cafe than with my “christian” friends..
I’m sat in class, diong nothing. This course is rubbish. I’m meant to be “learning html and css”. Which is what I use every single day at work.. Joy.
this hasn’t been the most productive morning..

The past couple of weeks have been very challenging. I haven’t had time to do half of the stuff that I have wanted to do, I’m behind (even though I don’t actually have a schedule) on my reading, and I haven’t read the bible half as much as I have wanted to… I think I may have to turn nocturnal to get all of this done..
I have Uni work to do, but I really don’t want to do it… It seems so trivial, I know there is a bigger picture, but its just annoying. Also, only giving us a week to do it was just evil…
I’m sick of talking about doing stuff and not actually doing it. So, tonight I have sketched out ideas for a project that I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. It will be basically, a back-end for a photography portfolio website. Think wordpress, but custom designed for a photography portfolio. It will have a fully customisable front end, meaning that people can put whatever...
