Challenge - Day 7: A photo that makes me happy

This photo makes me happy for quite a sad reason. This was taken at the end of 2003, 1st year of uni. A few weeks later in the early days/weeks of 2004 I would become a different person. Broken and sad.

This is a picture that would only say so much to me, because to you it's just a girl in a badly taken picture (webcam woo hoo!) so I will try my best to explain to you what this picture is about.

I can tell from the background that this pic was taken in my bedroom back in London (as opposed to in Kent where I was at uni) which meant I would have been quite happy to be visiting London because I did not like Kent/being away from London - there was no KFC at the time, for god's sake!!!!

I am supporting my infamous big fringe - and this was the first time I had one (not counting if I had one under the age of 5 years old) which meant we had just had a house party in the Kent house where everyone was drunk and I woke up in the morning with a haircut. I was bloody traumatised at the time but in retrospect I would probably have had the same hair style for my whole life is that never happened and I've given myself a fringe a few times since - noone apart from me seems to like it though... KMT

The jacket LOL Faux fur from a charity shop in Kent (Canterbury btw) I still have it in my wardrobe at my parents house taking up loads of room but I won't ever throw this away unless an animal tries to make a home in it...and even then I might still keep it. I brought it before I....gave up on life I guess...and to me it's a symbol of my more happier, carefree and fun side.

And another symbol of "before", my infamous giant hoop earrings! Throughout my late teens I had the worst taste in jewelly. Gigantic crosses throughtout school, and then gigantic hoops throughtout college and uni. I use to be able to put them all the way up my arm, and they fit around my ankle too.

Erm, so wow I feel a bit vulnerable now. But that's the point of my blog; to be open and honest, and to talk about whatever so there you go!!!

This photo makes me happy because it reminds me of who I can be....Penny from the block lol
