HOLY SHIRTBALLS

i've seen the libs enough times but tbh id like to see maximo park

i might sneak in to listen to the libertines & maximo park when they play at the castle grounds here in july. i don't have £70 to burn on a ticket and you can actually hear the shows in my back garden too because of the river, but I'll take a bottle of wine to the nearby park or something ;)

yesterday i almost put on is this it by the strokes, what the fuck is happening

i started from the start, the self titled one, de stijl next, i kinda fell off before icky thumb so i don't think i ever have that one a proper listen but i'm sure c has

not me listening to white stripes like i'm in my early 20s again

- there's also parts afterwards that i have not written yet.

this was inevitable.

my wax wings have melted, i have zoned too close to the sun, i must actually write words again 😭

you may use it 🫡

rudely the dead mum zine has hit the part in the middle that I have not yet written - THE FUNERAL.

and obviously the previous section ends half way through a page so i can't just skip to the parts afterwards that i have already written (i swear there is a logic to that leave me alone)

it's been like three weeks and i still haven't done the colour part 💀 it's definitely never happening the same day

you absolutely fucking do

i guess i had some thoughts & opinions about my #lastfourwatched

a graphic that looks like a sticker sheet saying i’m tabling at glasgow zinefest, saturday 23rd & sunday 24th may, visit glasgowzinelibrary.com for more information

it’s 100% official (travel & accommodation booked & sorted) i’ll be at glasgow zine fest at the end of next month 🙌

on the bright side if i hadn't missed the train i probably wouldn't have met a dog on to the train

lol missed my original train to Margate cos in the rush i accidentally autopiloted myself to the wrong fucking platform ): oh well.

gonna be at Margate Zine Fair at marine studios this Sunday (april 12th) 🌊🐙🦀 but i'm heading to the seaside already tomorrow 👍 zines are packed and all that

i'm gonna hit the charity shops so fucking hard though now I've had my greggs breakfast 🍳🥓☕ and earned a free one for next time

came out to rainham for a blood test and then my veins were rude and hiding so bad I have to come back for another try next week 💀 (and drink a lot more water before hand)

photo of an A4 paper with a fold in the middle with a zine page printed on it. in addition to lots of text, the zine pages features a photograph of my parents but their eyes covered by thick black lines for privacy, a vintage illustration of a clown and a negative photocopy of a hand and doodles

did a little test print the other day to make sure the font size is readable irl on the dead mum zine. probably should have done it earlier, not when i already had 20 pages laid out but thankfully i think it's fine 👍 i've definitely had smaller text on some of my quarter size zines 💀

photograph of a blueberry plant with lots of little white flowers that will eventually become berries

i think this year i might finally get to harvest some blueberries 🫐

the mild inconveniences are fucking testing me this week, leave me and my inner peace alone (id make a list but it's embarrassing and apparently these days i actually have some limits re: oversharing)

i haven't looked in the mirror since I washed out the bleach and my hair was wet and sticking in every possible direction, i have no idea what it looks like. idk if i'm avoiding it cos i'm scared or something, or i simply just haven't been to the bathroom since I had a bath? surely not.

no tears so far 👍

we'll see how messy adding colour will get though cos i'll have to ask carl for help with the back and this is what happened last time he helped me dye my hair (c. 19 years ago) and it's not like i can hide the mess with long hair this time....

picture of me taking a mirror selfie with my SHORT hair covered in blue stuff = bleach. my fave is covered by my hand and phone

hope this doesn't end in tears (too)
