(no subject)
I hate napping.
I always feel like my body is just like "Yeah, you're unemployed, and haven't got anything to do today, we're going to shut down for an hour and a half, that good with you?" I wake up with a horrible guilty feeling and a dry mouth. Blergh.
So, I have a job interview Tuesday. Scary, scary stuff. It is for my dream job though. Its a graduate training position for 9 months that Hallam Union - Sheffield University's student union. Its to train to become a volunteer co-ordinator - which is (kinda) what I want to do with my life. I basically find students projects to get involved with, support them while they are doing it etc. The Dream is to go into events management for charities, but this is am AMAZING first step. I consider myself quite self confident, except when it comes to work related stuff. Its odd, like going and pulling a guy, or writing a dissertation, or planning a massive trip to Manchester for my entire class doesn't bother me at all, but when it comes to talking about myself I'm like "erm...". But everyone I've spoken to about it has been like "Martin, seriously? This job was made for you!", which I guess is kinda true. I've been working toward this for some time, doing a lot of charity shiz, so hopefully I'll walk it. Must. Be. Fierce. Or something. I also have to do a presentation, which, if I do say myself, is looking pretty hot. I just need to learn it now without going "OH FUCK IT!" in the middle :P
I've been thinking about starting a few new blogs, but I think I need to learn how to be constant with one, so this may pick up for a while. I've recent agreed/developed a project with my ex Andy, which we've called "photo185" - we're both quite strong photographers (with -very- different manifestos), and we both want more practice both shooting and modeling, so we are going to collaborate. He is home in Liverpool for the summer, so it may not happen 'til October, but its nice to know I'm going to be doing more 'proper' photography! Blog link: http://photo185.blogspot.com/.
Took a few cool shots when we went to a Lady Gaga themed club night the other week:

I've also been thinking about starting a couple of other blogs. The first is kind of a blog review - each week I'd review a new blog. I -love- blogs, and read quite a few, and think people would want to hear about them. I don't know if I'd feel restricted about just writing about other people though, considering how vain I am! Another one I wanted to start would be "Martin's Straight Best Friend", a bit like Paris' BBF, but my trying to find my straight male best friend. I don't know how that would work though, it'd need to be really popular I think, or I'd have to really sell it, like In The Real World, which I don't know if I want to do, especially when I won't be making any money off it. Hmm.
I am kinda seeing a boy, although I don't know how its going to pan out. I am trying to take it slow, and not over think it, so I am not going to mention it for a little while. We'll see. (The blonde boy in the Gaga photos is him...)
Other news - I fucking graduated! 2.1 from Leeds University. YES. I am not a failure! (Yet!) It felt SO GOOD being up there. After all the shit I went through, I fucking deserved it. No, not even deserved. I earnt it. And it was good :) Was great to see my parents so proud of me too, sometimes I get the impression they think I just run around kissing boys, dressing like a tart and hoping to be famous, and not being Proper like my brother. They seemed really happy for me though :D
I think that'll do for now. Wow, I did a faux mass update and didn't even mention I was going to do a mass update. Oh, damn...
'til next time, LJ!
