Ups And Downs
All,
Good morning! And lo, is it ever. Tonight I get my first pro photographer in about four months, which for me is great. Not sure whether anything will come of it but the photographer and I are hoping to at the LEAST work on getting things worked out for a more advanced shoot. He's coming over to my apartment, because he can't get studio time before Wednesday and I go back to England then.
The great thing about this guy is that he contacted me through a website I already work for, so he knows the sort of things I do. Also he'll be bringing his own equipment and a bunch of outfits for me to try (yeah I know, call me childish for wanting to play dress-up, but I've been here for four months with a wardrobe I could fit in my pockets). So anyway, I'm nervous but really looking forward to it.
Thanks to having missed training on Thursday (both because I could do without the bruises and because our stupid bus route doesn't go there and we now need to walk the five miles) I'm rather twitchy, and aside from - or rather, because of - this evenings antics I have a lot to get done. I looked around last night and realised that the flat wasn't fit for human habitation, let alone a photoshoot. I've seen Bosnian refugees leave places that looked similar. I've seen televised charities show small children crying in places that mirrored it. Nuclear test sites have increased signs of the female touch.
...maybe I overstate the case, but it does need a damn good clean. So do I, for that matter, plus a good manicure and attendance to my godawful hair. Even one of these factors will mean HOURS of my life wasted since I'll be doing everything myself. In liu of that I shall NOT be messing about on Warcraft today.
...probably.
...well maybe a bit.
Anyway, as mentioned before, I'm going back to England on Wednesday for a week. HOORAH! The truth of the matter however is that I'm rather torn about going. On the plus side:
I get to see family and friends.
I get to go out.
I have a ninjutsu seminar to go to with one of about a dozen of the top ninja IN THE WORLD.
I get a break with Jesper which we both admitted we need every so often.
I get to actually UNDERSTAND what people are saying when they bawl things at me in the street (and can bawl things back too).
On the negative side:
I get to be really annoyed by both family and friends.
I have no really large amount of money to go out with.
I have a ninjutsu seminar to go to with one of about a dozen of the top ninja IN THE WORLD and am terrified because I'm representing my dojo for the first time alone, and I have every expectation of making a tit of myself.
I will miss Jesper horribly.
I get to actually UNDERSTAND what people are saying when they bawl things at me in the street (and they're not always good).
So ups and downs.
...also I'm going to be losing valuable Warcraft time and I have no illusions that the boy will tear himself off of the computer long enough to actually wash a pot, let alone remember how to use the vacuum cleaner. *siiigh*
Ah well. It's a ninja life.
