Srsly, it felt like two days in one, it was mad. Got up at eight, went to the Skins auditions. Not as exciting as it sounds xD a lot of waiting around, you fill out a form, wait around some more, then they make you wait stood up, then I watched Nikki draw fuck awesome tattoos allover this guy we were with, srsly, amaze, a flaming Ace of Spades, a naked fantasy-style lady and a coy. Anyway, then, after being there from ten am til about two o'clock, you go into a room, get given an improve to work on for like two minutes,s how it, then they pick. Good system I guess, but there were, no word of a lile about four thousand people. 0_o. Who was I kidding? ah well, they have my deets so if I end up as a backround randomer in Skins I'll letcha know and you can say 'Look mum I knows her11!11!' in an excitable fashion =3

Anyway, then, turns out the venue is about fifteen seconds from the road I lived on from aged two til around six or seven. So I went up there and was suddenly hit by this wave of... past, in the park and outside the house and had a bit of a cry (I love you Froggy). It looked so much smaller... I remember the front steps and concrete bit as massive and it's the size of a shoebox. Very disorienting.

Then we went to Camden. We hung out, did nothing. Then this guy started hitting on my mate Soph, srsly, creepy little trampy dude who first off asked if we had any gange then startiung hitting on her huge time and when he asked if she had a guy she, stupidly, said no. So i thought I'd help out and sya 'no, she has a girlfriend, it's me.' and gave him this look xD We lied badly for about ten minutes then when he sia dhe didn't beleive we were lesbians and told us to prove it, we scarpered. Then decided to go be cultured and go to the Portrait Gallery. We didn't get that far becasue THERE'S A TOKYO TOYS IN CAMDEN! Oh yes! It's below a a shoe shop and the guy who's always in the trocadero one (I knows his name now, he Hideki, I such a a stalker xD) and the poor guy was there by himself. In Camden you get a lot of people with shop signs on stick outside so the poor dudes out there, with his Sonic hat on, in the cold and wind, trying to get people's attention, then whenever someone does go in he has to chcuk the sign and motor off downstairs xD so... while chatting we ended up offering to hold it for a bit. Turns out we're good at yelling and making people go in xDDD So me and Froggy are stood on a cold camden pavement with the goths and the punks and the indies walking by yelling 'ANIME AND MANGA MERCHENDISE DOWNSTAIRS, GO CHECK IT OUT!' then occasionally 'we're not being payed we just love it go look!' and we got a load of people to go in xD It's cause Froggy was being so cute I thinks. And we made friends with the guys on the ground flooor selling knock-off converses for twenty quid. And after an hour our other mates we'd left walked past and di a double take like 'what the HELL are you doing!?' We just shoved them towards the shop and told them to tell Hideki to get back up cause we were cold. Then I bought a trilby. It looks fit

So yeah, we were paid in a big box of Japanese cookies and made him promise if a job space opened up at the soon-to-be new Tottenham (why the hell can't I spell that...?) Court Road location. Yes. THREE Toyko Toys! Fuck yeah!

Oh yeah and turns out the Orbital guys are a bunch of gits who're trying to rumour TTs out of business so fuck them. But yeah, we eventually buggered off to the art gallery and I drew a bust and some fat guy. I so cultured kthx...
