God is empty just like me

4 min read
University is amazing and it feels like I've waited forever to finally enjoy education again! :w00t:
I do miss my mum loads however
I've joined loads of societies and am already getting set loads of work, so it's never a boring moment aha. Everyone in my flat is lovely, and even though our oven is broken and the toaster is shite we're managing to feed ourselves. As I type this I am wrapped in 3 layers of clothing and a blanket because my heating has decided to break (yay?) but I'm hoping the Uni Porters can fix it before it gets too much colder.
Hopefully a drastic move up North will inspire more poetry, but if not there is a huge selection of geese to photograph (you think I'm joking, but we have a duck that follows us inside the porch over here in L Block...) because of the huge lake that is the foundation to the campus. At least if the bread ever goes stale we'll have plenty of willing candidates to get rid of it aha :XD:
This will probably be my last journal entry whilst I'm on Premium (goodbye pretty journal skins :( ) so not sure I'll update for a while. So yeah for anyone who cares, I'm alive! Uni is going super well, feel good about life etc. etc. Also I'm eating brioche and it's so tasty. I know it's more of a breakfast thing but roll with it :XD:
Ciao :peace:

Happy from a dream

This will not turn into an explanation of absence 
Ok it might :XD: It's been awhile (once again) but for once I've actually kept writing whilst I've been 'away'! Last time I left off I was still doing A2's and now THEY ARE OVER YES :la: Come August 14th I'll know for sure, but unless I screwed up beyond logic during exams in June I shall be attending the University of York post September 29th to study English Lit & Education. I am super excited for this and have already began chatting to some people who have applied for the same course over Facebook and they seem to be really awesome, pleased to say there are some guys on what was an entirely female post-offer visit day! Long term hoping to be an English teacher or lecturer, but I've got a few years in me yet before anything that serious comes into play.

Since I last wrote I've began and scrapped 3 novel ideas and unfortunately I was due to co-write/edit a book with an old friend but I think that's up in the air still. I've since decided my love of poetry isn't coincidental, and I'm too busy to commit properly to a heavier project :XD: Hopefully Uni will mature my easily distracted mind and I will *finally* get around to a 'proper' read. I've also been on holiday twice, Somerset then Ibiza. Both were amazing with people who I will miss dearly when the end of summer sends us on our different paths, but I know there are some people that I couldn't forget even if I tried my hardest and will undoubtedly throw the usual NYE party to reunite a bunch of us. 

I've been reading a lot (did you expect anything less? ;) ) and have really gotten into Russian & Feminist literature. For my English coursework earlier in the year (thinking it was around March?) I chose to use Nabokov's 'Ada or Ardor' as one of my pieces for comparison, and although at times it was,ahem, challenging, I've gone on to realise that he's so much more than "that guy who wrote the creepy Lolita book"-quote courtesy of a previous member of my English class (elite). To prepare for Uni I'm reading a lot of American literature right now, as we spend a great deal of the first few modules discussing everything it would seem apart from 'English' Literature. (I'm 100% ok with this however woo).

Honestly I've no idea when I'll write again, but I thank everyone who has stayed with me kindly :heart: I hope these last few months have gone well and if not, then that the next ones until my next entry improve the situation vastly.

Tchus :peace:

UPDATE: I have been VERY kindly donated a 3 Month Premium Membership! Thank you so,so,so,so much! Man I missed using journal skins :XD:

New York I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down

2 min read
First journal of 2014 woo! :w00t:

Hello anyone left on DA (so many people have left...kinda including me but hush). 

I wrote my last article for Heart of Glass (the webzine I work/ed for) and read it online and now I have nowhere to spread the ways of Feminism which is sad; yet also encouraging to find somewhere else to write for. If any of my watchers have suggestions feel free to note me/comment somewhere I can apply to :)

In other news I got my exam schedule and it put into light how little time I have left of A Levels. HORAY. Seriously it's either sleep or complete all work and I hate to say it but sometimes the work wins! June 16th is my last exam, and then I have a summer from 10:30 of that day (for my sociology exam will be over eh he heh) until like the 20th September. Plenty of time to FINALLY write my novel and take some proper photos as I have long sworn to do in journal entries :XD: 

Also I know it's ages away but I'm going to Ibitha with a bunch of friends for 5 days in July and asdfghjkl can't wait.

Thank you for reading/watching!

Tchus :rose:

Take me like a vitamin

2 min read

Long time, no submit etc. I'm kinda cutting down on DA as my main platform, as my Tumblr gained me more attention at first and my Facebook page is gradually getting better. Sucks I know, but I still come and lurk on here so I'm not totally quitting on DA (as you can see from this journal I guess aha).

I've recently joined/founded a creative writing club at my school (better late than never, in my final year and all that!) so I feel that I can get better feedback there than anywhere else on my latest work. I'm also fortunate enough to have been awarded the Beloe Award for Poetry which they award every few years to someone at my school, pretty damn happy with that I shan't lie! :w00t: So yeah I am still writing...just not on here :XD:

And believe it or not had 3 university offers back already out of my 5! Super happy that York got back to me because I fell in love with that campus. I'm hoping Sheffield will as well and I'll have my 2 final choices in place, if not then I'd be cool with studying at any of my other choices really but York is 100% certain to be on my shortlist.

All the people (well most) that I used to talk to on here have quit DA :( Sad times. If anyone doesn't want to lose contact with me, inbox me or something and I can link you to my Facebook because I've met some amazing people on here who have given me great support and feedback.

Hugs to you all :hug:

Humming too many words

2 min read

Oops summer is over. Apologies for not writing, been kinda busy :XD:

Brief synopsis, my liver is somehow still healthy after welcoming home my friends on World Challenge and my brain not yet numbed from all my summer reading. It appears I was ambitious with my reading abilities though, as I still have a pile of books by my bed left to delve into. Ah well, hopefully get those nailed in the next couple of months. My AS results were surprisingly decent, bar German but let's not talk about that :XD: As a result of this...ahem...hiccup...I won't be continuing with German BUT I'm still keeping in touch with all my German friends and I still have the language department's password to the learning site we use. Eh he heh. So fear not, I will not let one exam put me off (especially because like 2 days after getting my results I held a conversation in McDonald's with a bunch of Austrian people about queueing-EXAMINE THAT AQA ;P ).

My novel has been getting bigger and smaller all summer, but I did actually publish 'Phases' (my second poetry collection) so not a complete failure eh?

www.amazon.co.uk/Phases-ebook/…

Hey look a link so you can buy if you like yes? ;)

But I AM 18 IN A WEEK :la: And also ready to go back to school, miss seeing my friends every day and eating terrible sandwiches for lunch. Business as normal, keep watching me for new pieces and thank you, thank you, thank you!

Tchus :peace:
