Heeeeey peeplees! :D (Pronounced ' pee please' :XD: ) Hope all is going well! :)

Today has been one of the most magicalistful ever! I went with my mother in her car to pick up my art and photography work as it was an Open Day; and when it ended at 2pm we started carrying it all down to the car ^_^ (which took a good few trips!) It was awesome before hand, seeing everyone's reaction and hearing their responses as they were walking past the dark section where my stuff was composed! One man was talking to his wife about it, who was saying that is was scary, and my mum overheard and said "Rachael here did that! :D *points to me fiddling with hands*" :XD: The man then said to me, "Never stop what you're doing...you see some art and it's nice, but you walk away and forget it...this is ART...and it's left its impression on me here today!" It really did surprise me in a nice way! :)

One thing that is both awesome -and- very slightly annoying though, my final A-Level piece "Panopticon" (the four prison-like rooms in a tower structure) was part of the South Essex Art Exhibition in Basildon; which I was really happy and proud about!! ^__^ But...my teacher didn't even tell me until today!! >_< "Oh, I meant to tell you but I was busy and things came up!" It would have taken 4 freaking minutes, and as a result I didn't even see my own work exhibited!! :( GAY!! Also a few people wanted to buy it, but as I wasn't told, I wasn't given a chance to see how much or say yes etc! But I -was- given a couple of booklets from the event, with my name in! :D And as I was putting "Progeny" in the car, a lady ran up to me and recognizing the piece asked if I was Rachael Gater; I told her she was correct and she introduced herself as a governor, and she thanked me for letting my piece be in the exhibition!! It was lucky that she saw us! ^_^ And really kind of her; I didn't think anyone liked my artwork around here but me! :XD:

I also booked my driving lessons today; 13 to be exact! :D (Not because it's my lucky number, but because you get a discount haha XD) with the magical AA! My first lesson is next Friday...GRRRRYAAAY!!! :D Vroooomie-vrooooooomsie :chainsaw:

And in the evening!! I got a call back from Game; I have a group interview on Monday!! Just when I thought no-one wanted to hire me!! :XD: This will put an end to my hobo days; wish me luck!! I really need a job! ;-;

Yesterday was...absolutely amazing also :wow: A load of us went to see Dimmu Borgir at The Forum in Kentish Town, and well...WOW! I saw them at Wacken, but it just wasn't the same as yesterday!!! :D I could actually SEE them!! My throat is seriously sore from singing along to pretty much every song except two new ones which I don't know the words too, and "Sorgens Kammer" XD Great song; but I don't have a clue about the lyrics!! Fun times!

But!! How is everyone else going too? :D I know it's MY journal, but I still feel bad when I natter on about myself; I feel like a selfish, ego-inflated jerk! :XD: Guess I'm just proud stuff is going somewhere!! ^_^ Tell me how you're doing, people!

(Next Furious Horde gig; October 28th at The Fat Surfer in Grays! ^_^)

After endless nightmares she lies weeping in her bed
A blade in her hand, her nightdress is turning red
Her skin becomes paler in this cold and stormy night
This is the end of all her painful dreams of suicide
