Guess Who's Back! ;)

Tue Nov 20, 2007, 2:46 AM
Hey everyone!

Hummm, where to begin! It seems like forever since I was last here (possibly because it was forever!) I apologise for missing everyone's work :(

Well... whats new?? I've moved house, successfully completed a year at uni, started a campaign, become addicted to off road mountain biking, lost what little trust in mankind I had left (don't ask), learnt a lot of lessons, and so on! I'm still vegan, straight edge, and passionate as ever, which are the main reasons I never have time to be here.

I'm probably going to clean up my gallery a lot and maybe stop watching some of those on my list (if I can bare to do that!).. I've just realised how none of my best photos are on here, especially loads of ones I've captured while out cycling everywhere. I'll dig them out for you guys ;)

Oh and.. in under 2 weeks I'll be back in Africa :excited:! Long story really, but I got a job to pay off my rent, got fed up with all the consumer shite, and spent all the money I earnt on a ticket to Tanzania instead. Love it! ^_^ I just can't stand Christmas, I'm not Christian and I'm not capitalist either. It's like the normal everyday consumer frenzy, but multiplied to a hugely out of control mad binge of needless stuff. The more I see people rushing around buying all this crap, the more I can't stop thinking about how the suffering of others is totally ignored, and how they continue to suffer often because of our addiction to mindless consumerism.

Okok there's plenty of time for my rants now that I'm back! Hehe, please tell me how you all are and what you guys have been up to, I'd love to hear from you all :blowkiss: xx

  • Mood: dA Love
  • Listening to: Incubus
  • Reading: Uni books :(
  • Eating: An orange

Everyone say a quick hello to the Government spies

Wed Sep 20, 2006, 11:01 AM
So. Unlucky for the government who seem to like me rather a lot, I installed a web tracker onto my newly launched website 36 avocados - [link]

And what should I find? A government IP address snooping around, based in London.

I always knew they watched me because I do protests and hand out leaflets and stuff, but this is quite a funny confirmation. It means they are watching this account, since this is the only place my website is advertised, and the entire site is brand new anyway.

Isn't it great to know that five days after the 9/11 anniversary, our police are spending their time looking at the amateur photos and drawings of a 19-year-old student who just so happens to partake in legal demonstrations. Great one.

So.. to my secret watchers: You are more than welcome here, on my website, even in my email accounts if you wish - I hope you enjoy all my hard work and interesting opinions.

But I have a special request. If it's not too much to ask, I'd rather my money paid for you to do actual work, trying to stop actual criminals. Here's a few things I can think of just off the top of my head..

People getting RAPED, drug dealers, PAEDOPHILES, murders, child abusers, sex offenders, violent porn, guns sold on the street, guns sold by OUR government to poorer countries (oops, how embarrasing!), knives on our street, domestic violence, abuse of immigrants, the sex slave industry, illegal environmental destruction

Pick some. Or even one. I feel passionately about improving our community (just like you are supposed to) and I would really like to know you put as much effort into tracking people who disagree with things as you do to paedophiles and drug dealers.

Send your love people! xx :love:

The Most Overdue Journal in the World

Mon Sep 11, 2006, 7:03 AM
I realised today that I hadn't posted a journal since.. well, forever.. so here we are!

Okay, so you're probably wondering why I hardly post anything anymore and seem to vanish a lot of the time! I am here, I promise, and I've started fresh with my devWatch so I can keep up with it this time. Anyone who knows me knows I am an activist.. and apart from the odd job, that is what I do with most of my time.

I have good news! my design website is now online but not yet finished. Have a lookie - [link].
At the moment it's a work in progress.. a few links are down and the text needs to be crisper for people with high definition computer screens.. bleh!

I owe it ALL to *ListenReflect who has been amazingly kind enough to host the website for me. Please visit him and send him some love :heart:... I am eternally grateful!

Hmm what else? My t-shirts have become very popular.. a whole load of new charities want me to do stuff for them now, from websites to illustrations - all unpaid, but I am still learning and I have the time! Hence the website, really.. time to go up in the world :)

It'd be nice to hear from you all - how are you guys??

I'm still alive

Thu Jun 29, 2006, 1:01 PM

I laugh as my 8p-a-pack instant noodles slop out of the pan and onto my plate. They have done so for the past week, relentlessly, for both lunch and dinner. And why shouldn’t they, when they cost just 8p, and you have no money to buy anything better? Cuts out all that wasted time looking in cupboards thinking, ‘hmmm, what shall I eat tonight then?’

I stare blankly at the wobbily yellow glob in front of me. Man, I'm sick of noodles. Maybe I shouldn’t have given all my money to that homeless lady. You weren’t there, though, and it’s a really long story. Actually a really sad one. Yet, I still have no regrets. It’s instant noodles all the way.

I officially went into debt two days ago. The young lad in the bank was all too pleased to open up my overdraft facility, and let me take out some crisp bundles of cash that didn’t belong to me. I giggled inappropriately and swiftly left the bank clutching my newfound treasure, just in case they realised I’ll probably never pay them back or that I don’t actually earn any money. Teehee. Thanks a bundle, NatWest (I will pay it back, really…… in maybe 100 years or so)

I’m feeling really ill at the moment. I guess it’s just a cold, but it isn’t going away because my crap diet is… well, crap. I'm drowsy most of the day, I think I look a bit like I'm on drugs, despite being straightedge.

Apart from eating instant noodles, I have actually been busy, although I can't quite pinpoint what I've done exactly. I've made an art website, which will be launched soon (or a lot sooner if anyone knows of a free server / FTP I can use...?) and made some T-Shirt designs for the Captive Animals Protection Society, as well as the usual Southern Animal Rights Coalition. Hurrah. I think that's it. Just confirming I'm still alive really, and kicking around on this place as much as I can. Apologies for being late in looking at all your deviations, I'm sure they're all lovely :nod:

Bye for now xx


The wealth that money can't buy

Tue Apr 25, 2006, 2:57 PM


"I was with a very poor family, it was not easy for me to even go to school. I received beatings every day…

now I feel like I am in one of the richest families in the world.

No more beatings in school. Also, since there is no more worrying in school about money I feel free in my mind to learn. Oh what a happy home!"




Simplicity and gratitude for basic things seems to be the real source of happiness. Not some trumped up new car or wholly unecessary brand of light-reflecting-booster-technology shampoo.

Why don't we appreciate what we already have? And why don't we know how lucky we are until everything is gone?

It seems the young kids in developing countries are a million times wiser, and happier, than many of us in the western world.

They have next to nothing and yet have more than those in rich countries. Because they have happiness... geniune satisfaction with that they have - not materialistic 'goals' of things they don't really need.

They have something we've lost: freedom from the manipulation of a capitalist society, where people are drugged by the t.v and nagged into feeling inadequate. Nagged and nagged to buy more and more, each product another step away from the distantly fading reality that capitalism doesn't want to exist: happiness can never be bought.
