I write this journal for me more than anyone else however you are welcome to add me. If you want me to add you back please leave a comment here telling me a little about yourself. Unlike a lot of places online I am more selective about who I add here, limiting it only to journals I'll actually read, so please don't be offended if I don't add you.

Just a couple of things...

• I sometimes post a lot of pictures (that you may have possibly already seen if you follow me elsewhere).
• I'll openly talk about things like sex, relationships, drugs, depression and other mature content. I won't make apologies for it either. Sometimes I can be whiny, bitchy and generally a little bit over emotional. If you can't deal with that then please dissappear.
• If you're under the age of 18 (sorry but I'm 20 and it just seems weird), I know you in real life (or you know anyone that I do), you have a problem with the things I mentioned previously, don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" or plan on trying to preach your beliefs to me then please fuck off, thanks!
• Still want me to consider adding you? Please make sure we have at least something in common!
• I've been using livejournal on and off under a variety of names, most recently 'zinziii', since I was about twelve years old (I remember having to lie about my date of birth to create my first account haha). I'm not a troll, I just took an extended livejournal break, so please don't deny me from communities or bitch at me just because I have a new journal, it's tiresome.
• In my sidebar there is a list of other places you can find me online. If you're simply interested in my photography, modelling or artwork then I'd suggest following me on tumblr, flickr, my facebook fan page or deviantart instead as whilst I post some of it here I won't ever post all of it, and I talk about things outside of this also.

I wish the website wasn't so crappy these days. To anyone still lurking who may see this, add me elsewhere and say hello?

After recently moving house I don't currently have the internet, hence the lack of activity for quite some time. I haven't forgotten about my journal, just wanted to let you all know what's happening ;)

It's pretty hard knowing what to say when you haven't been able to do anything. I guess if I got back into the habit of writing often then little things wouldn't seem so insignificant, but writing hasn't exactly been top of my priority list after having two operations. I'm (nearly fully) healed now though, so back to attempting to keep some sort of semi-regular journal of my life that says what the photographs don't.

For those of you (if any) wondering operations I'm referencing, I had four teeth pulled. The first was an emergency extraction of one tooth because the pain became unbearable and I had already been waiting for a few months for my operation date.  The second I was completelely anathetized (thank god!) and had the remaining three out. It's the teeth in from my wisdom teeth, which have kindly grown in sideways and pushed all of my other teeth out of line (hence the need for an operation). Hopefully this will sort the problem, creating more room for the teeth in my mouth, but if not it could end up kind of nasty. One of my wisdom teeth has grown on to one of the main nerves in my face and apparently I'm at risk at losing feeling in part of my face (or all of it) completely. I'm just keeping positive :)

Mostly I've been using tumblr as my journal recently. It's not so much a journal though, more a collection of things I find interesting, entertaining and inspiring. I've also got the photography/art/modelling journal over there (and a few others, I like doing things).

As far as other news I don't really have a lot. I'm pretty much failing university, having not handed anything in this year (thank you health) but I should be okay. Worst comes to worst and I'll have to repeat the year which doesn't really bother me all that much. Another year in education sounds more appealing than working I guess, although it would sound far more appealing were my teacher not a short little wanker on a massive ego trip. I've done a lot of the work, I'm just putting the finishing touches on most of it. There's a couple of projects I still need to do but hopefully I'll be able to hand them in at the end of the summer and all will be fine, no repeat needed. There's always the possibility that they absolutely hate everything I've done, having not been there to show it's progress, and that I get failed though.

I'm currently redecorating the room that previously looked like this with a brighter theme. I've got rid of the beds that were eating up lots of space, replaced them with a couple of giant beanbags that are much easier to move around and will eventually be having it as an entertainment room meets photographic studio when needed. I can't wait until it's done, it'll give me no excuse not to be productive and bang on it as far as photography is concerned (which is what I need for sure).

Over the summer I'm doing a Disney glamour series featuring lots of gorgeous ladies so keep your eyes open for that. Details here on my fanpage. I've got a few other projects planned too, including one based around mythology which I'm really excited about as it gives me a chance to not only learn more about a subject I'm really interested in but to play homage to it too.

Been getting a lot of formspring haters recently, go have a read if you want a laugh at the idiocy of the human race. Always entertaining. #

Livejournal's 'detect location' has serious issues. It thinks I'm in Birmingham, a mere 240ish miles away.

My journal could do with a serious overhaul. I guess that's what I'm up to tonight... Maybe. Oh, and I decided that some entries will now be public. I don't feel the need to have mind-numbingly boring entries about my average life set to private for some reason. Odd that.
