Been a hell of a long time. I guess I haven't done very much art for a long time. I mean, when I was in hospital (for a year, and now I'm free so woohoo) I did art therapy every week, so I'll see if any of that is worth putting in, but to be honest I don't think so.

I'm alright. Crazy as always but generally happier.

I'm applying to go onto Foundation Degree Art & Design at college in September, having taken a "gap year" after doing my National Diploma in Fine Art (I got Merits! And didn't even finish the course!) I'm terribly nervous because I feel pretty awful at art and I feel this next course will be quick-paced and full of a lot better people. But as long as I enjoy it, that's fine.

I've been trying to keep my hand in again recently, just by doing bits here and there. I got a little book of fifteen 7" by 5" acrylic papers and been trying a bit of abstract here and there. I've never been comfy painting, it's so... free. But I'm not trapping myself into being perfect, and imperfection is sometimes the beauty of abstract, inmyopinion.

I also want to go back into photography - but a bit less of myself 'cause I aint the best model and I'm too nervous at it too. But I want a new camera, not a big fancy Canon EOS or anything, just something I can slip in my bag. This summer's been quite beautiful, so far.
