am I real?


Today Sarah posted about the 'real' her, and after reading this post here where it all began and it got me thinking. It's actually something that I have been thinking about quite a lot since I began blogging a while ago. What to put in, what to leave out. I'm not exactly sure of the purpose of this blog really, it started as a way to motivate myself, and to record my thoughts about the stuff I make, but I (like Alice) found myself falling down a rabbit hole in to this wonderful world I never knew existed. I wish I had found it sooner I can tell you! So many lovely creative talented people, and it really helps to know you're all out there during a time in my life when I'm feeling a bit lost and lonely creativity wise...

But anyway, I got here in the end, and it does intrigue me, to peep through a window (only when i'm invited of course!) into other peoples lives. Oh, and what to show in my litte window? I normally just spill out what's in my head, try not to edit it too much, like a scrap book I suppose...

So anyway, after a bit of existentialist thought, I decided that I am in fact real (and im eating a bagel right now to prove it). I took this picture on the way home from work this evening as I was walking along, no editing or photoshop magic, just me on the street. As you can see, I need a hair cut!

Another thing:

I wouldn't (normally) admit this, but at the moment I'm addicted to this. Aghh! I know I should be doing something productive but the pull of 2 episodes in one day (ta E4!) is just too strong... watch out Zoe, he's a stalker!!

Great post! Lovely photo. It's kind of refreshing isn't it? Not sure I will write about my unmade bed again though.
I laughed at Hollyoaks. I used to love staying in bed and watching Hollyoaks omnibus on a Sunday morning. It's not on here and I don't think I would know who the characters are. But I do like Chester.

this is something that is always in my mind too... i love knowing the back story of people's posts though, it does make it all a bit more real :) great photo!
