OH DEAR.

2009-11-06T13:09:26Z

So I am still in Glasgow...still at university, still writing my dissertation. I am getting to the point, where I am ready for the next big change. I love Europe, so Ideally I'd like to stay here, but I feel like my head clock isn't ticking like it used to, and it needs fixed.

I think I am ready for a bigger city, one where I can go to the grocery store without seeing five people I know, Or how about when I meet someone, they go " oh yeah ive heard of you", and then come out with information about you, even though ive never met them before. It's too small. Glasgow is great, and I love it most of the time, but I'm just ready to feel a bit mroe settled. Im looking at London right now. I am comfortable there, and they might have a masters program I am interested in...lets hope my visa will let me next year.

In other news I surprised myself. I just got finishing and e-mail argument. I know lame! I never thought id ever have an E-fight, but apparently it was the only rason I thought I could get any point across.

The story iS I used to date this guy, and i fell for him.....I did lots of nice things for him, sent him things when I was away, supported his gigs, called him at appropriate times. I thought I was a fucking rad "date". Then he stopped calling me and NEVER TOLD ME WHY. I would alway approach him when I was drunk ( bad, I know), and ask him what his problem was...he never.

I would invite him over for dinner, in which he would accept and we would have good chat, eat great food,but then he would leave with no explanation. He never told me why, or how, or what. Oh! once he told me "he didn't have time in his head for girls or a girlfriend"....... later I find out that meant he didn't have time for CHELSEA. I was depressed after that, almost failed my course, didn't listne to anyones advice, and sulked for aggggges.

moving on...... so I have this friend, I would do nice things for her, watch her rabbit, go to her birthday party/parties,pick up her mail, and she woulod ask me to do these things. Of course I would, because we are friends right?? I Would go to hers when I was upset about "boy", and then apoligize for her having to liten to it. "Sorry I am jut really upset,I like him so much" .tear.tear.tear.

Well.....I found out yesterday she had been shagging him. OH MY GOD I COULD SKIN HER RABBIT!? what a bitch! and Joe "has not time for girls" what a liar. faith in humanity out the window. I couldnt believe it. So I did the dumb thing and sent an angry e-mail. it jusat said he as a "shitty liar" and that should never speak to me again. He replied with how lame it was I was e-mailing, and that I dont know hat I am talking about, annd that I as petty,ego driven, and small-minde. He then ended the e-mail with "all the best". I WENT OFF MY RAILS! ALL THE FUCKING BEST. FUCK YOU DUDE!

I am quite happy I wrote that e-mail, even though I know how lame e-fighting is. I couldnt just forget about it, and there was no way I was even getting in the same room with those too. He also mentioned that it as pathetic and that he thought i was looking for a reply, but really I wasnt looking for a reply, he didnt have to send anything at all back, and he did twice. I hope he feels bad....Im hoping that his replies mean he felt guilty, because in all honesty If I didn't feel guilty about something I wouldnt bother writing back?

All in all I feel better now. its liberating in a way, because we know where we stand. E- fighting can be necesarry in the right situations, but I think it migt be one of the onyl times I do it.

Glasgow update!

2009-03-07T16:20:37Z

well.. a few new things! #1. Glasgow is still fantastic. Wouldnt trade it for the world. There is something about Scotland that will always make me want to come back to it. I have made amazing friends, I go to a fantastic school and things in general feel like they are coming together. I am content..even through a few cut a scrapes. Art school is going ok, with a few creative blocks here and there..but I'm getting by. It is odd how fast the last two years have flown bye! At the end of this year I will have my british BAFA, and next year I will have complete my course. Exciting and very scary.

Some of you know I have started a tiny business selling new and used clothes and jewelry. Doing small trunk shows,and selling to friends and fellow art students (I AM SALVAGE). with the success of I AM SALVAGE, I have decided to step it up a notch and become business partners with my friend Candice. We have organized a monthly jumble sale and band night the second Sunday of every month. This coming sunday will be our first event and I am very excited for all of our hardwork to shine through. We are naming the event JUMBLE & FUMBLE. Jumble during the day and Fumble at night! Our day will consist of vintage clothing sellers,bric-a-brack,records,books,taped,baked goods,boys in bands, and a charity raffle! FUMBLE will shine the spotligght on amazing glasgow bands, and if were lucky a few London ones!

This month I have confirmed two really awesome bands:

THE LOW MIFFS and WASHINTON IRVING. Check em oot!

Man...lot going on here. I
'm sure you all know by now Ive started a small business selling new and used clothing. Well we are planning a photoshoot very soon to get people interested. Then I'm hoping after the summer there will be some proper events...rather than the odd person buying something here or there. After the first one at LUSH being such a success, Ive been working very hard to get things up and running. I am trying not to rush things because mistakes happen that way. I will be posting some pictures from my clothes party the other night. it involved me and my friends getting smashes and trying on clothes. YAY! Besides I AM SALVAGE, University is going ok. I was a little frusterated, but there is just alot on my plate this year so im just trying to chip by. essays,research,art,elective,lectures (typical college stuff). Ive been trying to get more involved in the arts these days. i felt very disconnected but maybe something inspiring will come along and it will make me want to work a little harder in my own studied. it is why I am here anyway..right?

oooooooh so glad to be home

2008-12-19T02:53:11Z

Hey everyone! I am so glad to be home. Although the trip was very rough.I am so glad to be back in Seattle. My travel experience home was horrible. It included delayed flights into London,shitty prick plane passengers,lost baggage at terminal 5 in London, and almost barfing on the plane. Once I arrived in Seattle I had no baggage and a fever of 103.5. I am feeling better now, so I don't expect sympathy, but can I just say I am so glad to be home with the fam, not thinking about anything stressful. Oh and incase you were wondering..I got my bag back and a 50 visa card from British Airways just in time.

on another note..

George Bush is still a prick.

Dear Mr. Asshole face Bush,

Thank you for taking away the hopes and rights woman have worked so hard for over the years. We are not stupid beings, and are aware of your pitiful games to wait till the latest hour to sign the Anti-choice regulation. I'll be damned if my ability to manage my own health care as a woman is taken away from me. please join My mother and I who are both against this rule and check out this petition Planned parenthood has put together. please send this to as many people as possible.

sweet,

chels

I AM SALVAGE

2008-11-22T17:19:38Z

Hello everyone! Just a little update. I have been vry busy and dealing with the stress of the end of my first term of the year. Most of you know I started my own little vintage and second hand business (sort of) caled 'I AM SALVAGE'. Well recently I had an event at the soap company LUSH (www.lush.com) here in Glasgow, and it was a huge success! Everyone was asking for more,and I was even asked back to do another night. I already have 3 events set up for after the first of the year! yay! I am just hoping each one gets bigger and better. my friend Paul heped me out this time around and we are going to put our heads together to make each and every I AM SALVAGE event a good one. I am very excited. Here are some photos from the event.

I lied.

So lately Ive been having alot of realizations. And Ive been doing alot of reflecting. I live across the street from this amazing park (Kelvingrove Park). I was walking home listening to music, it was just getting dark. The kind of dark that you feel safe in. The sky was colbalt blue..maybe a little darker. I was the only one in the park, but felt like the only one in the world. It was a weird type of energy where everything as so quiet and surreal that I just got so excited i started crying. I finally am realizing where I am in life..and how far ive gotten. Lately I havent been feeling all that proud about it, but being here in Scotland has taught me way more than I could ever know about life... and im proud for that.

On another note I have about a billion essays to write and im job hunting today..ahahaa productive chelsea. IN all this studying i swear ive gained a load of weight. DAMN IT! Why is snacking and studying so easy?

I went on a photo adventure with my friend Pete. It is on a trail in the west of Glasgow. It was a nice crisp day...and we walked for what felt like hooours. Here are some of the pics.

2008-09-23T21:10:17Z

shit.. I like two guys named Pete...wtf weird.. Anywho Ive offically started 3rd year, and it's totally weird. We have a couple new exchange students. Two from Australia and one from Japan. I don't know where the rest are from but im sure they are from somewhere neat. Today I found the sweetest chair on the side of the road. It is old and totally European! it's red velvet with studs and neat lowered arm rests. Im stoked on it. The chair will reside in my new GIANT ASS studio, and I will eventually paint it gold to turn it into "QUEEN CHELSEAS THRONE"..im excited for the year!
