Darren Does Darth...Again!

Hey hey everyone,

It was roughly 3 or 4 years ago that Darren asked me to do his face paint for Halloween as Darth Maul. I loved doing it and it took me a good hour to complete in my lunch hour whilst working in GAME.
So I was excited to do it all again today but with a difference, he had to fit in with the green and white army for the Northern Ireland match. Off I went to meet him in Laverys, haven't been in there in years, packed full of green football tops and plently of banter. We headed to his mates after a few minutes and I got started on the makeup. I wasn't quite as particular this time, its just not the same when you aren't using the dramatic original colours of red and black. Still I had fun here come the pics....

Sunday Yet again!

Ok so the working week goes by so damn fast, but so do the weekends!! Will someone please put the brakes on, there's not enough hours in the day, especially when daylight saving steals one.
Went to see "Hot Fuzz" last night, hmmmm can't decide whether is was really good or really horrendous, there's a fine line between the two. I think i'm wavering towards horrendous, the storyline is just stupid!! It did have its comedy moments though, but still I wouldn't watch it again.
Anyway onto more impotant things! I'm currently printing out all my fav pics for a portfolio i'm putting together, the buzz i'm getting off this is fantastic, I just love it all. They are printing out pretty good and I have more decent ones that I thought..eh I think so anyway, others may disagree.
Hopefully in the coming weeks the wonderful Neil is going to start on a site for me to showcase everything. Lets face it i'm not the talented one when it comes to websites, I can only do basic stuff. Best to leave it to the professional..cue Neil!
So watch this space for karenmcclintock.co.uk its gonna rock like a big hard thing!

Monday yet again!

How can it possibly be Monday again!!
damn weekend went far too fast for my liking. I hate Mondays and we have an arsehole of a customer annoyin' me on a daily basis at the moment, he's an English Nightmare!
Anyway I did get a raise today, which is great since i've only been there for 7 months, wow its ACTUALLY 7 months, thats crazy!!
I gotta save loads now, Rome in August, and Skiing/snowboarding in January, lovin' it all!
So Jill and I are goin' to this kicksercise or something like that on Friday. Then we've decided to go home and drink champagne hahaha, the cheap stuff ofcourse. We were talking about the time we went into town when the market was on, and ended up in the Apartment drinkin' a shed load of champers, laughin' sooo much, lyin' on the floor and generally havin' a blast. Champagne definitely gets you the best kinda drunk!................
So role on the weekend aleady, i'm celebrating!

Manky Fruit

So I said the mouldy manky fruit was still to come, so here it is. Anyone fancy a bite? mmmmmm

ooohh fruity..with a bit of veg thrown in!

Well hello reader, hope you are having a pleasant Sunday.

Its the control section time in my GCSE photography, this is were we are given a time limit on a specitic subject. I have choosen decay of fruit and veg, i reckon I can get some great shots with this topic..So check out below what I've got so far, and ofcourse still to come is the decay stage.
I have all the below fruit and veg by the window, justing waiting for it to go all manky and mouldy mmmm pleasant! Such a waste I hear you cry, but I only used a tiny amount, and a bought it all in lidel for next to nothing....
bye for now, keep checkin' back for the rest of the topic!

Check out my jawline! If you think that's bad you should have seen the other girl!

Yeah ok ok, so I didn't get into a fight, but it sure looks like I did.
Today i went to get my final bottom wisdom tooth out. I didn't get the gas as that's for chickens mahahah. Nah the gas would probably make me throw up, and there really is no need for it. SOOO 2 or three jabs of the needle, a cut with a knife, a grind of the drill, a few yanks, and a few stitches, and i was good to go again!
I thought all was grand until gradually thoughout the day people kept sayin "jesus look at your face" it looks like i have a golfball in my mouth, the pic just doesn't do it justice.
My mum even said to me it was awful looking and i looked deformed, ahh nothin like motherly love. whatever happened to a face only a mother could love haha
anyway my weekend outings shall be limited i'm sure, but its all good in the long run.
Ps i had rice pudding for lunch and failed to notice it was all over my face. The injection hadn't worn off and i couldn't feel a thing haha!

Brunette is the new Blonde

Didn't stay blonde for long eh?
Excuse me lookin a bit tried and a bit pale, but its the hair we're talkin about here!
So what do you think, it certainly feels a lot better condition wise thats for sure!

Bald is the new Blonde!

hahahah, Have you seen this, Britney Spears has decided to shave all her hair off. I think this is hilarious, apparently she ran away from rehab after only being in there for 24 hours. If she wasn't soo screwed up I'd say good on her for being a bit different.
God knows how many times i've wanted to shave all my hair off as it bugs me on a regular basis! I never have because I'd get the precog comparisons all over again from Neil hehe!

Neil Photo Shoot Part Deux!

Well hello avid reader,

So I had a few days off at the start of the week, thank the Lord.
Neil, Stephen McGrath and I headed to W5 for a photo exhibit. Not a bad display of images, think I was expecting to see a lot more though.
All the same it put me in the mood for more snapping, so after a de-tour back to Neil's I went about adding to my "Judge head Story" .Think I got some pretty decent shots I certainly enjoyed my self as usual. Photography makes me happy :-)
Now my printer is playing up, which is a right pain in the ass. I keep getting excess green, and proceeded to waste all my black ink. Crappy unoffical cartridges, buy cheap buy twice. Hopefully I will have some new ones in the post today, and I can get some good prints.
So anyway happy days its Wednesday, I spy the weekend, who's up for some shenanigans??

Dreaming..

I've been having one of those day dream days, were the mind runs wild and concentration is far far away.
Wouldn't it be great if we could give up our mundane day jobs and do what we want all day every day. Alas money rules in this big bad world, and such luxury is a slim chance.
All I want to do these days is take pics and work on them, but when I come home from work I can only do a little bit as I cant sit at the computer all over again. Also I cant take pics in the dark!!
A few days off is in order, hopefully get that sorted next week, a bit short notice, but when I want something I want it NOW *stamping my feet*

K anyone who is reading this, if you could give up your day job, what would you be doing right now instead?

Photography Session Number 2

Hi there,

So more photo taking obession at the weekend, this time Neil AKA
Judge Head was my victim . You couldn't really ask for a more willing participant! Out came the black and white makeup and a set of chilling facial expressions. Cannot believe how quick the time went by, all of a sudden it was 4am. I must have been really enjoyin' myself, as I don't normally see that time of the morning!

I haven't spent much time working on these, but do have a browse and tell me what you think (also posted on my bebo and myspace)
































Do give me a call if you fancy being my next subject ;-)

Jill photo shoot!

Okay, so I've got a lot of photography work to do so decided to rope Jill into my Portrait type work.
Little bit unfair on her having the early start since we'd consumed a load of vino the night before. Still off we trotted round her house and into town.
Have a look and see what we came up with:

Oh and excuse the ropey arrangement I haven't time to piss about with this lol

Didn't think I was that extreme....I think I like it!

You Are From Uranus

You shine with brilliant creativity, and you're more than a little eccentric.You love everything unusual and shocking. You're one far-out chick or dude.Anything unconventional excites you - and you have genius potential.Just don't let your rebel side get the best of you, or else you'll alienate everyone.Your original thinking and funky attitude is all you need to be you.

arrghhhh

K i fancy a rant that may or may not go on and on, and on a bit more!
i'm at that stage again, where i'm bored of everything, bored of my life, the places I go and the weather that surrounds me...
Why did I not go to New Zealand this year...ehh prob didn't save enough money, and a job came up. Is this it then, am i stuck here forever? I'm torn between being sensible and down right crazy and spontaneous...
I'm just really feeling very claustrophobic (typo?) right now. I need that light, that defining moment that makes you say, yip this is it, this is what I want to do with my life. Is that really supposed to happen, or are we just supposed to be grateful with what we've got , shut the hell up, and get on with it!
i do believe we are the makers of our own destiny, good things dont just happen to people. You have to put the effort in to reap the rewards. I just wish I knew where to start!...
Phew, wasn't as bad as I thought...maybe I should go on a bit more for the avid reader...
nah, back to work...ohhh hum drum.

Well happy new year to everyone..

Here's some thoughts for you all to think about! Same old crap from me really

PS Join bebo if u wanna see any of my pics, it easier to use!

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us are special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Dont take for granted the things closest to your heart, cling to them as you would your life for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living one day at a time you live all the days of your life.

Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Dont be afraid to admit your less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.

Dont be afraid to encounter risks, it is by taking chances we learn how to be brave.

Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible, to find the quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to loose love is to hold onto it too tightly. The best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without a dream is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Dont run through life so fast that you forget, not only where you've been but where you're going, Life is not a race but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.
