I’ve recently made friends with the brother of a dude I go skating with occasionally. His name’s Joe (the brother of the dude, the dude’s name is Tim) and he’s in a band called Recoil. They play metal and it’s actually pretty good.
Joe and I were messing around on the computer and I showed him some of my Photoshoppery. He was pretty impressed (and I was flattered) and asked me if I could do a logo-type thing for Recoil. Above is what I came up with. It ended up being an album covery thing, and hopefully (with the approval of Sam the guitarist) it’ll be their demo cover.

I’ve finally started skateboarding
I actually started skateboarding a few years ago (with Ethan), but my board was terrible. It was about £8 from SportsWorld and the wheels didn’t roll enough. It would stop even if I was going downhill. The last straw was when an 8 year old asked me if I was suicidal when he saw my board.
Three years down the line and Ethan started skateboarding again because one of our friends gave him a really good skateboard. I sort of inherited Ethan’s old board, replaced the trucks and wheels and started up again. I gave Hannah my old board (sorry Hannah) and we practice every now and then.

I’m naturally a messy person, it’s who I am. But there is a limit to the amount of mess I will happily endorse and contribute to.
The aftermath of my sixteenth birthday party was horrifying. Like, it wasn’t hugely messy (by my standards anyway) but the mess wasn’t clothes and cd’s.
It was soggy crisps, wads of cake and moist patches in the carpet. That’s just unhygienic. And gross…
The party was from about 8:30 PM until 3:00 AM. It was a mostly awesome party, but there were a few annoying things about it.

Yesterday I lost something very important to me – my hat. I was busing to Ethan’s house with Hannah from across the road, and the buses were hot. Naturally I took off my hat and put it next to me. At our stop we stood up and got off. It took me a while to realise, so the bus was long gone by then. I don’t even know which bus it was, the 11 or the 58. If anyone manages somehow to recover it, please let me know. My ears are cold.

Normally when Ethan and I hang out, it’s Ethan and me. Just us, no other friends to speak of really. We eat biscuits, watch movies, play games (normally computer-based but ‘Catch’ happens every now and then) and generally have a lot of lazy fun. But a couple of weeks ago, Ethan and I discovered that there are cool people in Hall Green. On my road. Insanity!
Ethan and I met 4 awesome people that live in Hall Green (Hannah, Rosien, Liah and Kieran)! We thought Hall Green was for uber-posh suburban white parents with two kids, a dog and a well tended back garden. We’d just never met the kids in this image.
They’re all in year 11 (or were, today’s their last day) except Kieran who’s in year 9.
They go to a youth club held in a church – of which Ethan and I were skeptical – but apparently you don’t have to believe to get in. It does however have a 75p entry fee (so God can get himself an ice-cream). There are more cool people there, and most live close to, or on my road. Awesomeness.
Hoorah for friendliness!
