So, I got my A-Level results a few weeks back. The stupid school(s) lost one of my results, but managed to get it to me a few days ago. So the overall results are a B in English Literature, a C in Philosophy and a C in Art. Not the best results, but considering how much I absolutely LOATHED my time at that school, I'm content.

I'm trying to get back into writing (sorry Tessa, I haven't been writing my poem a day - nor creating my sketch a day) and as such will be lurking in the poetry/lit chats a bit more and hopefully you will see some literary submissions from me soon! I am in need of inspiration, so if you have seen any provocative photography/artwork, or have an idea, send it my way. Please. <3

I'm sure I have a lot more to say, but my head hurts and my tummy is hungry. So I am considering feeding the poor thing, as advised by Jes.

So bye (for now)!

Since the last time I wrote, I've passed a few landmarks. Aaron has now been in the UK for over two years (and tomorrow we will have been together for two years and nine months).

I've finally finished with sixth-form (thank God, haha). All of my exams are done and out of the way, my art exhibition is up and being examined/moderated. So all I can do now is wait for my results which are released in August.

I'm currently looking for a job and booking lots of photography work! I have some upcoming shoots and am still in the process of casting calls, so if you are interested in shoots based in the Norwich area (for now) please contact me: chloebiancaphotography@sky.com.

Hello.

Been a while, eh? Well I've been busy. I'm just here for a quick update. I have ten weeks left of lessons at sixth-form college, twelve weeks including Easter holidays. Then it's study leave, then exams. I put my passport renewal application in this week so once that's back in two weeks I can finally finish my visa application and lodge that. I hope it all goes through without too many (if any, please, no) problems.

Had a photoshoot a week ago and that was pretty good, it's been too long since I was behind my camera properly. I have another coming up next Wednesday (circus themed) and some more in the pipeline, so keep an eye out! I'll also be putting up a few more photos from last week's shoot with Jemma over the next few days.

Any questions, you know my e-mail. <3

March 4th

Had a shoot with Hannah today. I adore working with this girl, she's amazing. So keep an eye out for some photographs I should be adding over the next few days.

Only one week left until the minimum due date of my passport. Fingers crossed, eh? I want it here dead on the due date, haha.

My birth dad, Steven, was taken into hospital yesterday with suspected heart problems... I don't know what's happening, but I'm worried. I guess all I can do is wait to find out.

I'll write again soon,

Update:

My granddad died yesterday, January 17th, early in the morning. He was asleep and had people holding his hands. I am still looking for designs, so if you're still interested or know someone let me know. I know a few of you are e-mailing them to me soon.

Thank you to everyone that is trying.

I miss him, so much.

==================================================================

...To get to the point, I really want to get a tattoo in his memory when he passes, but I have seen so many designs I like I just don't know which to choose. In the end, I'd love a personalised tattoo design. One that's mine and I won't find on every other person's body.

So that's where you guys come in, right?

If any of you are good at drawing or anything and you want to try designing me a tattoo I would love you forever and ever. Or, if you know a friend who's really good at it and could convince them for me? If I have to I'll pay for the perfect design. I don't care, I just want it. I need to find it. =]

I'm looking for:

I'm looking for an angel or fairy (designer's choice) who is beautiful, but not sexy. This is for my granddad, I don't want her naked (unless she has really long hair covering everything or something, y'know).

Although most people think I should get a happy-looking angel/fairy, I don't want her to be too happy. She's supposed to be in mourning, like I will be.

She's probably going to go in the small of my back, so nothing huge please! I don't have the guts for a full back piece. Also, I'm not looking for a colour tattoo or a tribal tattoo. I'd really like her sitting down, purely because of where she'll be on my body, but if the pose is right standing/laying, etc, whatever will be considered. I will also consider pieces designed to sit between the shoulder blades in that upper part of the back.

So please, if you could help me, it would mean the world to me. My granddad has been such a huge part of my life I'm not ready to let go. I want something permanent to help me heal, to help my family. To remind myself that his spirit, his laugh, his stubbornness and love all live on in our memories and dreams.

Thanks to anyone who does do this for me, or can point me in the direction of someone who can help... Just note me, or comment here, or anything you like really. You can MSN me, you can e-mail me.

If you want to see any designs I like for inspiration just say and I'll get back to you as soon as I humanly can. <3

Happy Christmas, everyone!

It doesn't feel like Christmas yet, though. Even though it's the day of Christmas Eve. I still haven't wrapped the presents... Even though we're opening them tonight, so we can drive down to my nan and granddad's to spend Christmas with them. We planned it all around granddad, but he's in hospital now and won't even get to spend it with us... So it's really hard to feel the Christmas spirit.

Regardless, though, I'm spending it with family and we'll visit him. So it'll be good for all it's creeping up very late indeed.

How are you spending your Christmas?

Hope it's good!
