*Unrequited Ducky Love*
Wow I cant believe it has been so long since I last wrote in my journal. I guess I've just been so busy this past year adapting to my new surroundings and making friends.
Well it is official I have finished my first year studying History of Art at the University of York. So much has happened within this past year that I have no idea really where to start. I have had an amazng year and made so many wonderful new friends and I cant wait to go back in October which is only a few weeks away. Well I say that but I would be looking foreward to uni a whole lot more if I didnt have my examination essay due in on the 10th October. It has to be 4000 words and so far I have about 2500 words. I just cant seem to motivate myself to write it. Its all about the theory that women, to at least some degree, are objectified by art. I go into talking about Hans Bellmer in one paragraph. His 1958 piece called 'Unica' is really shocking in its objectification. He binds this woman up like she is a piece of meat. The female figure becomes a mere object to be observed. Its all to do with his weird fetish! Trust me the man scares me with his doll sculptures and is really creepy in general but at least he is interesting to write about.
I am now a 20 year old which is like a major turning point in my life. I am no longer a teen but as my friend Caz says I am now a "tween" which enables me to put off my looming adulthood if only for one more year. Yes I am in denial and choosing to accept a reality of my own. Hattie threatened me with anti wrinkle cream the other day as a birthday present. I am a lot happier with the fact that she got me Kato Kazuki's new album instead from her trip to Japan. I had a look at her photos and it all looked breath taking. I am very jealous of her and I feel no shame in owning up to it. Who would not be jealous of the trip of a lifetime? Although knowing me I would have spent at least some of the time whilst in Japan trying to track down Kato Kazuki as he is my favourite japanese actor/singer. I know I am such a saddo. Good thing I have people to love me :p
Another thing that brings me joy apart from my friends is Jensen Ackles and yes to some degree Jared Padelaki. I am now the proud owner of the whole second series of Supernatural. It keeps my first season company on my shelf and will be making the long trip to York with me in a few weeks. Supernatural is just plain LOVE in my book. Flo came over the other day after I got the second season and we watched the whole thing together all day bathing in the awesomeness that is Jensen Ackles. Fighting supernatural beings is easier when you are really really ridiculously good looking it has to be said. We both could not stop laughing... the things that the writers come up with are hilarious:
Sam: "What do you want us to do... poke her with a stick?"
(Dean nods his head as if he is actually considering poking the woman who is paralysed)
Sam: "Dude we are not poking her with a stick!"
Could everyone do me a favour and not mention Jensen Ackles in front of Nathan as he knows about my "unrequited ducky love" and lets just say as my bf he does not approve. Lol!
Here is my first real attempt to use photoshop! I know its not very amazing but I kind of like it. Its a wallpaper of Dean from Supernatural... I was going for the tortured soul look! :p xxx
