Let's Talk

Journal Entry: Sun May 20, 2012, 8:30 AM


Life - as I know it right now!

So I've spent the last week loading an array of journals into your inbox's and generally attacking you with all things ^Kaz-D Hopefully that will calm down now - and then I suddenly thought, with all these articles and bits of news and such I've been quite impersonal. Let's have a bit of life to counteract that! Firstly on the topic of name changes - I'm not going to change mine, not now or ever. So rest assured Kaz-Dizzle won't be appearing any time soon. (Although I did threaten it to the CV team).

I was surprised at how quickly some people changed their names. There were the obvious changes, such as adding or removing dashes or capitalization which in some respects makes sense. But there were others who just discarded their old name after 5 or 6 years of wearing it and took something completely different. I don't have a very good visual memory, or memory in fact, so anyone who did those changes is likely to drop off my radar a bit as I won't recognise you by avatar. Did you change your name? If so why? I'm intrigued to know...


Life is generally ticking over - these coming weeks are set to be the busiest of the year so far whilst I juggle my full time job alongside the arrival of the olympic torch - the queen's jubilee celebrations and a Wedding. All requiring photography services! In between all of that there are essays to be written and the 365 challenge to be kept up which really shouldn't be that hard given that I will end up living and breathing photography. Uni doesn't break for the Summer this year which will be a minor shock to the system but regardless of that I've bagged myself a lovely little cottage overlooking the Iconic Needles on the Isle of Wight to spend a few nights relaxing in.

I've actually been making things of sorts. Culinary Creations has inspired me to get going. Actually that's not true - *claremanson has inspired me! Her baking creations are awesome and I've been creating to try and get some shots like hers. I love her work - I only wish to taste the food now! :drool:

The Eurovision is coming up - traditionally friends and I watch it, drink a bit of alcohol and in general spend the whole evening laughing. This year I will spend it alone!! I can't even begin to imagine how I'll cope...



Reccomend me some Reads!

Last week I had a delightful offer to have some of my poetry published - but right now that's top secret so don't tell anyone!! I haven't been writing much lately, but the Kindle is actually inspiring me somewhat. I've loaded a variety of books on there and I'm currently ploughing my way through. I'm trying to pick out some Summer Authors to get stuck into but nothing is really taking my liking. Right now I tend to read cute books rather than serious ones because I find that with my law studies the reading can get quite tedious and I need something...different. Yeah right I just love trashy reads

I read Jodi Picoult, Joannna Trollop, Anita Shreve, Linwood Barclay, Harlen Coben, Patricia Cornwell, Diane Chamberlain & Rosie Thomas right now. Any similar reccomendations would be gratefully received. I'm all set for a few nights of dvd watching thanks to ~TouchedD who has got me hooked on Scrubs.


Kaz-D online...

As many know my website launched last week KathrynDawson.co.uk and I've had some fantastic feedback! Thanks to all who stopped by already and all who will ;) I appreciate it. Do check out the mounted prints I have for sale as well - I'm happy to negotiate on price!

I'm also on Facebook and I have a Page! if you would care to stop by and like it!

I'm blogging the 365 challenge over at Wordpress if you see any of my uploads and want to know more about why/where/when/day or stuff and nonsense.

And that's it for the epic update - What's happening in your world?

Sadly since Iposted that,I crashed my car, I am at fault and have had topay the guy I hit for his car, to be fair he as a sign of good faith ensured he got a low quote so I can pay him without going through insurance, but if I cant get a better quote I will need to save up £500 for a new rear bumper, fortnueatly its not made the car illegal to drive, its just cosmetic, but as Iboughtthe car only 3 years ago and spent £8k on it it has upset me to be in an accident:(

thanks fo the support though:)
