I just want to live while I’m alive

This was my view walking home from the Citz last night. The sky was honestly so surreal! I think I must have caught it at the perfect moment… I had to stop and take a picture. The only other time I have taken a picture of the sky similar this was a couple of years ago around spring time:
Im loving the fact that the air is slightly warmer, and that the sun is showing its face for longer hours in the day. These little changes are making me optimistic that it wont be too long until summer 🙂 Is it wrong that I look forward to it so much? This winter has felt really long and dark. I have never watched the sunrise properly, somewhere picturesque. Maybe I will get to see it somewhere nice in europe come july/august. Here are some winter sunsets I took a good while ago working on a short film in Loch Lomond:
 
Thats Davids shillouete! Haha he is pretty much blacked out. These pictures havent been edited very much either. Our world, and the sky, and the way nature pieces everything together is pretty beautiful when you really think about it. Talking about David, yesterday was a year and a half to the day that we started going out. I know its not a proper anniversary as much… a ‘halfaversiry’ if you wish 🙂 But we went to Yo Sushi for some grub, it was yummy! I had to send one of my little hot dishes back because it wasnt very warm, Ive never done that before in a restaurant but I couldnt eat it lukewarm. So the waitress gave us 20% off our bill which was super nice of her. I got David a little card from Lazy Oaf (loves it) and he got me a nice card too 🙂 We didnt talk about exchanging anything, but we both did it unknowingly anyways! David also got me a Hello Kitty tin full of marshmallows and a matching strawberry lip gloss. He knows me too well ♥
Things are going well at the Citizens Theatre, I spent half a season working there last year so I know the building and the people, and the workshops. So its all been good and Im feeling pretty settled already. Its quite a long and busy day, but this is what I want to do with my life so I wouldnt have it any other way. 110% effort and commitment all the way will hopefully get me where I want to be. Im not the best painter in the world but I work bloody hard and keep my brain constantly switched on. I make too many lists and use my moleskin diary to death, which emotionally exhausts me at times because I actually do want to be able to switch off when I feel like it. But during term time its good to get the positive momentum going, and not necessarily that easy to slow down or stop once you get started or into a certain frame of mind. Or at least thats the way I feel anyways. 
On a more positive note, I am going to have my dinner, and then a smelly lush bath, and then get into my jammies. This fridays episode of lost is calling my name to get streamed dans l’internet! Yahoo homepage informed me today that 15 Hollyoaks characters are getting killed off?! Say what!? The worlds gone insane. Most certainly ♥

    I'm glad it's not only me who was shocked about Hollyoaks! … they are always bringing so many new characters in, I guess some need to depart but still!

    Stunning photographs Miss! 🙂

    15?! Giant culling!

    Beautiful pics, I always carry my camera around ready to snap, sometimes you just need a picture. I can imagine those pics in battered wooden frames, really pretty.

    I'm jealous of your sushi trip! my verification word is suffishi which sounds like a sushi dish!! 🙂

    The way you approach your painting is the way I approach my writing. I'm not the most talented writer, but I work really, really hard to make sure I always do the best work possible. That's what's important – giving it your all and putting all your passion into it. What's the point of having an amazing talent but not really caring how things turn out? I think you have the perfect approach to your painting and you're super talented to boot. 🙂

    Love your sky photos. The sky fascinates me. A few months ago, I was driving to work as the sun was rising, and it was so inspirational to see. 🙂 xxx
