Polaroids

These are some funny pictures from a while ago. Hmmm, I look really strange with long hair and it creeps me out to see picture of it. Weird.









Bad Films

Liar Liar

My favourite bit in this film is when Max shows Jerry his cool BASEBALL STUFF present and Jerry says 'Hey great gift Dad!' and then Fletcher goes 'Thanks son.' It is so FUNNY.

It really is.

I also love it when Fletcher pretends to eat the present. That is just before Max shouts out 'BASEBALL STUFF' which also makes me laugh.



High School Musical (1)

My ultimate favourite bit in this film is when the basketball team have just said hi to Sharpay and Zeke says something about the ice queen coming back from the northpole and then Chad says 'and back from what she always does...' and everyone goes 'where?' then Chad says 'shopping for mirrors' and then entire basketball team goes 'oooooooooh' as though he has made the most cutting comment ever made. It is so funny.

Also I liked it when me and Annie watched it and changed the words and pretended that Troy wanted to be both a ball and a microphone. So funny.



High School Musical 2

What I really like in this film is how retarded Troy and Gabriella are, they could kiss about 1000 times but they are just idiots and then Taylor makes them break up by being such a stirrer. Ridiculous. I do love it though when Sharpay is talking to Ryan about the primo number one hotties at the school and then she goes 'Troy... Sharpay... Sharpay... Troy... Troypay' and it is so funny.

Bears

I'm not really sure where the bear thing started but for a long time now I've really liked bears. If I were an animal I would be a Freelance Dancing Bear in Fez and Waistcoat Ensemble. i've only ever seen bears in cages and zoos and dead in museums. I would like to see one running about in a river eating some salmon. I know it is really cruel but if I were a zoo keeper I would make the bears wear a fez and waistcoat ensemble.

Anyway here are some bear pictures I made on paint ages ago.

'Oscar's Tea Party' Illustrations

A while ago I made some illustrations to write stories about. I only wrote one useable story from it but here are the pictures. I hope to go back to it one day and finish it. I printed the pictures into a book that is pretty great and I was going to handwrite the words over the top. That would only work with poems though.
'Damn Simon', 2007, This became an amusing short story about a writer who boasted about their ability to write during a party who's bluff got called.
'Giant Portrait', 2007, This was a shockingly bad fragment piece about a scary picture whose eyes followed you aroud. Not good, and it is an awful picture too.

'I hope you won't let me down at this year's dinner dance, my dear... or Wifely Words', 2007, This was a love story I wrote about two elderly bears. It was rather lovely, I am putting it in a competition soon.
'Betty, Better to be Older', 2007, This became a poem that used the letter 'b' a lot. I am not sure why she is bleeding all over the place though.
'Birthday Explosions', 2007, This became a fragment piece of a parent recallng their child's birthday party when the candles blew up the cake decorations, based upon my own first birthday.

'Oscar's Tea Party', 2007, This was a story which documented the guests at Oscar's Tea Party. It was pretty funny. I might look at that again soon.

Backstage (original)

Combing and combing and curling and crimping and caressing their long silky hair.

Rouged cheeks and whited faces.

Comb teeth glide and hands smooth hair.

Ribbed ribbons and blacked eyes decorating, with pearl beads and beads of sweat.

Combing and combing and curling and crimping the hair back from their faces.

Pinned into place.

The women are ready to dance.

Car Bother

Charles was strapped into his car seat,
Seb was sat in the front.
I was climbing through the car, over the handbrake. crunch.

Ever so slowly,
yet ever so fast,
we stood and watched as the car drove past.

Seb and I got out and pushed,
but Charles was still in there,
strapped to his seat,
and all I could see were his hammering feet
as he tried to break through the glass of the car
whilst trapped safely secure inside his chair like a dinosaur trapped in the tar.

beef- one side of a conversation

"In answer to your earlier question, no, I don't eat beef."...

"It's for no particular reason. I'm just a bit fussy."...

"No, I don't eat mince either."

U-G-L-Y I ain't got no alibi...
