About Me

Mon nom est Laura & je suis un ivrogne (or the crazy woman with her bags full of junk). I'm studying BA (hons) Photography at Nottingham Trent Uni. I'm quite chatty. I love my ma and pa & my friends, they make my world go round. I adore the creative side of life. I can go on downers a lot, but it makes the good times even better. I'm vegan & love cooking. I love staying up 'til the stupid hours when it's so quiet outside. I miss things, but I don't like to regret. My biggest pet hate is inequality & unfairness. And that horrible feeling of disappointment, along with being ignored. Grargh. But the sunshine makes me happy!
This is the chance I've taken.
Ask questions. Think for yourself. Wake up, and you will make the difference.

Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at
What I should do and where I should be
But no-one will give me a map
I'll leave now this can't continue
But I forget which door I came through
And I know that the lift can be painfully slow
So I think I'll leave through the window

I'd like to meet:

These lovely people -

Laura - Our perverted chats, headbanging teaching, dancing at gigs... & you've always been there for me when I've needed someone to gush to, moan to, cry to. I love you.
Walsh - Getting me back into Sonic & geekiness and understanding me - you're amazing & you'll always be special to me.
Little Laura - Fate that we met each other on interview day! Glad we're living together, I love how random & chatty you are & how we're close enough to talk to each other when we're troubled. I love you man.
Helen - Wino drinking partner! Our dancing & singing to Billy Talent, drinking stupid amounts of wine, pulling random faces at each other, talking random shit. Flat 24 wouldn't be the same without you mate.
Naomi - MANOWAR!! You rule. We have to decorate at least one room Manowar style next year. And have regular film sessions. Hurrah!
Cow - *happy Cow dance* Rock City won't be the same on a Thursday without you & Stan now. We need to watch Deal or No Deal more regularly! Mmm, Noel.
Debs - Mate! You're rather ace - I've told you that before. Chin up & look after yourself - & that massive bottle of vodka you always seem to have!
Lauren - You're ace.. Cooking homemade soup, making me chocolate milk with a heart shaped ice cube (for valentines day - you love me, haha), talking all through Ghost & then making beans and chips at 1am. We need more girly nights!
Charlotte - I miss you!! Can't wait to see you again, we'll have to do another Lost session with some nibbles soon.
Tom - We need to Reflex it up soon mate! Miss you tons.
Bush - I know I don't see you much mate, but you rule! Lets go raving soon.
Alex - Tea!! We need a tea drinking sesh that'll last all day whilst watching Stargate. I owe you one for reminding me how great power metal is & cooking yummy stuff all the time for me.
Ryan - Thank you so much for looking out for me right from the start. I owe you big time. You're a lovely guy & I wish you all the happiness in the world.
Naomi - Ben - Doom Ben to me. You've helped me tons when I was deciding on what uni, where to live, when I was scared about not meeting people. Thank you.
Jon - You share the love of all things heavy with me. That Mistress & Narcosis gig was immense. Can't wait for that Converge sesh.
Gary - I met you when I was going through a rough time, the day after heartbreak we had that long chat in Costas. You rule. I miss you.
Jen - I've known you for so long! We seriously need to meet up and go for that shopping trip we've talked about loads. I miss you, & I hope you're happy with everything in your life. We need a catch up talk!
Adarm - How could I forget you? Our drunken chats at 5am when you got 5 mins sleep before work, taking the piss out of each other's 'accents'. I'm not posh!
Salima - Like I've already said to you, I do wonder where my sanity would be right now if it wasn't for our weekly chats at work. Thank you so much for all the advice & help you've given me. Agony Aunt!

Jonas Renske, Claudio Sanchez, the writers of Lost, Bjork & Mikael Akerfeldt. And my Nan. I'd love to watch one of my favourite artists strut their artistic stuff for the day, like follow Thomas Hirschorn around whilst he's making an installation. I want to meet Trent Parke and propose - his photography is amazing.

:D
