My name is Nicola Amelia. I don't use this page very much any more. In fact, it is now going to be more of a page through which I can keep up with a few things I really like that happen around by me and also a page through which I can find lots of nice music.
I will say some things though. I like to take pictures and draw pictures and see lovely things and appreciate the most wonderful things in life. I sometimes write about these things or show these things at the place just below here:
www.papershapes.blogspot.com
I sometimes put pictures up at the place below, but that doesn't happen very often anymore:
You're right -- it feels both just like yesterday and ages ago haha. I think the strangest part for me is that the first-years who I had classes with there have now graduated! Anyway, I'm very glad to hear that you're alive and I hope to hear more details at some point :).
the guardian was very exciting wasn't it?? look at u gettin ur pictures pulished in a national broadsheet! that's not gonna look too bad on the old CV is it?
I need to see you soon. We need to have some form of drink, be it cold and in a lovely pub or warm and in a kitchen/livingroom/bedroom and have a good ol natter about the world. Let me know when you are free for such activities Nicola. xx
