let's get snap happy...crocodiles!

Finally Friday rolled around, a busy day for me! For some reason, i got up early but still managed to be late for Elishas photo shoot. Not having a job, meant that i had to take the 82 [yes i live somewhere on the 82 route] to Selfridges and then walk from there to Central St Martins which is where Elisha was holding the photo shoot. On my rather rushed walk along oxford street, i bumped into an old 'friend' Chewish, having been deleted off his facebook friend list, i was a bit hesistant to speak to him, but i thought i'd speak to him if anything, just to ask why i'd been given the old heave ho on facebook. Oddly enough he had no idea what i was talking about as i running late, i helped him find the bus he needed and made a dash for it! However, i didn't manage to get that much further before bumping into someone else i knew. That person being Tarek, an old friend from years back. He was standing outside Niketown in oxford circus [i guess this is a common meeting place for people..] waiting for my ex boyfriend Akay...as much as i wanted to hover and say hi i was already 50 minutes late and i just didn't want to be any later so i left without really saying much. 

I arrived at St Martins to see Mai-ling getting her make up and hair done and then sat in the make up seat myself to get myself prettied up by make up artist Emily Cripps [wonderful girl with incredible talent, if ever need a make up artist, i know who i'll be calling!] and watched Mai prance around like a bit of a twat. HA! Having only been in front of a real camera only once before many years ago, i didn't know what to do with myself. You suddenly become very aware of yourself, like your hands. These weird fingers at the end of a palm at the base of a stick, do you get what i mean? I was suddenly SO aware of my body and my stance and everything. I think i got a little freaked out. Which will probably show through in the photos. 

Anyway after the shoot, we returned the goods to the respective shops and met up with Albie for another night of partying, only this time at Crystal. The last time i had gone to Crystal, my friends and I had been turned away for looking too young...which was apparently not what they wanted on a thursday night..Before heading there, we met up with albie for a bit of pre drinking munch at Mcdonalds and chatted for a bit before jumping on a bendy bus towards the club. 

We got to Crystal and they were handing out yummy free cocktails, which were quite strong [good times] and it was decked out with sweets and huge love hearts, with a Charlie and the Chocolate factory theme. Whilst we were sitting down at the start of the night, i noticed this guy walking around, [as you do] and i was thinking how much he looked like this guy called Harry Riley who i worked with years ago. He was always the saviour of my shifts, even the really long and boring ones, we'd sneakily eat food or drink drinks, it was great. Anyway, so i watched him for a bit before deciding to subtly walk past him and have a quick frontal peep to see if it was really him or not, it was! It was HARRY! Soon after this, while the night was still fairly early on in the night, Albie had some friends arrive but they had a separate table and he brought them over to ours, and we mingled and chatted. They seemed like a bunch of guys up for a good night, and drank quite a lot of vodka, at one point, i had my hands on of their faces and was encouraging his friends to pour vodka into his mouth. It was his birthday, what better way to celebrate it then to get shit faced and forget it? Not long after that, they left to go to a house party and with them, the fun left too. Kinda. 

After a night of drinking, sitting, chatting and dancing and a quick trip to the cash point we decided to go to Chinatown for some 3 am munch. After dinner, Albies friend Kush took Mai-Ling home as they both lived in a similar direction and Kush was driving. I realised after, that i had put one of my close friends into a car with a stranger. Not a great idea. But she got home in one piece, so no worries...for the time being..
