There was a lot of twitter buzz too, but I don't have a twitter and, as a direct result, don't keep up with it very well.

Really pleased. Proud of everyone who worked so hard!

It's kind of surreal to think that's the end of uni ..for now anyway (I've been flirting with the idea of doing a master's in a few years...). I feel like I'm supposed to feel like something, but all I can think of is getting on with things and making sure I'm set for rent and food and such lol. It should be interesting being out of full time education for the first time in my life.. like a magic box of secrets!

I was reading something the other day that talked about creativity being a muscle that needs to be exercised just like any other muscle which made me think about body-builders. What a strange hobby. Did you know that Sean Connery was a body builder before he was an actor? Apparently he placed 3rd (although this is disputed) in 1950 for the Mr Universe title.

10 reasons not to go to the gym

I really enjoyed doing this one! It's been a while since I've enjoyed doing anything this much.. And oddly enough, the most fun part was the editing bit where I got to put all the words on! haha

I was looking through some of my stuff today (just from the past two or three months actually) and I think I'm getting better at this. There was a lot of thinking and stress since the beginning of third year as I tried to sort out some illustration mysteries. And it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears (and conversations (sometimes heated debates) with Daniel Hamilton) to finally get myself out of the dark place of pessimism and coldness.. but it feels good to be able to see other things besides doom and gloom.

Socialbot is Sociable

He really knows how to break the ice.

I could probably learn a thing or two from socialbot.
