(no subject)
Ellie is back on here so I guess I should perhaps do some updating too.
Things are good, Paul moved down to live with me a few months back and surprisingly I am still as happy as I was when things started. The one-nighter boy has become a single man's woman! LOL! Work is also fairly steady, taking lots of amazing picture and getting some great assignments. It has been an unbelievable time lately. Indescribeable.
Went on holiday at Christmas, with Paul. The Alps are so beautiful at Christmas, and the skiing was amazing. Have so many amazing photo's to work with, great backdrops and layouts. I am thinking of branching out into landscape and nature shots. But I will need a lot of practice at that sort of thing. I have been shooting people for so long that it feels so odd to think about shooting something else. Maybe I should start with people in the pictures and follow on slowly.
Valentine's was amusing, as a gay, I do not find the whole restaurant scene attractive on such a day, so Paul and I went clubbing in Hastings of all places, well Ellie went years ago and said it was a giggle so we decided it would be a change from partying in the 'shire'. It was a very good night, the beach, well shingle shore, was nice to walk along, albeit a bit breezy. I got Paul something for his Hairdressing kit that he needed. A new trolley to hold all his bits and bobs, (it's a very good one). Very romantic eh? well, I did think about roses, but after Ellie text me about the scene at H'wick Tesco I just couldn't bring myself to do it without picturing tesco full of men queuing for self-service machines with roses in one hand and cans of soup/pasta/beans in the other. It was just too funny. Paul, the sweetie, bought me a new tripod (leave it!) and had one of our holiday photo's blown up and framed for me, he is so good at things like that, it's the hairdresser in him.
Oh before I forget, Paul is going to start running his 'mobile' hairdressing business (I like to call it the unit, or wagon, for amusement and annoyance) out of my studio. There are two floors to the place and I never use the bottom one, as there isn't enough natural light, and I prefer to be higher than the street, so that I can take in the scenery. I think it is a great idea, and it will work well for both floors are pretty much self contained and we can both do what we love without sacrificing anything at all. I was originally a bit skeptical, because working with one's lover, is sometimes what ends a relationship, but we already do work together a lot and it doesn't appear to be a problem. *crosses fingers*
Ellie text me on Valentines Days, to wish me a long and happy gay life with Paul, she's just the sweetest.
I do wish I could see her more, but you can't always have everything you want. From what I have heard from the Lads, things are going well for her job wise and elsewhere. And I am glad, for all the years we have known each other, I could not ask for a better friend. Someone who looks out for you and selflessly puts others first, is just completely amazing. When we first met, I was a bit unsure about her, she was quiet and shy, but I remember catching those beautiful eyes looking at me and I smiled, and that was it. We bonded and that was that, nothing has ever broken our friendship. I guess some people might think she can be a little abrupt sometimes, but I know how scared she gets sometimes just speaking to people, it's odd really, at work she is totally calm and in control, but put her in a social situation where she doesn't know many people or someone makes her nervous and she changes. It doesn't bother me, if I catch her doing it I normally poke her and smile. She knows what I'm doing and that is why I love her with all my heart. (I really do Ellikins!)
Have I really rambled on for so long? Good gracious. Well as today is Sunday, and I am my own boss, I am declaring that I shall have the rest of the afternoon off.
Peace out, stay gay and all that. xx
