Smarty Arty Pants Rachy

20 03 2007

Howdily ho neighbourinos! Distinct lack of the Rachy vibe around the place at the moment isn’t there. Thankyou all for your emails recently, but worry not friends, I am indeed fine and dandy :) I have been very busy at the moment, I have finally decided which degree I want to do – woo hoo!!! It’s a foundation degree, leading on to a BA (hons) in media design and publishing. In short it covers web design, page layout, typography, general graphic design and a little photography – ie bloody all of my strong points except fashion and textile design, woo hoo! I don’t think I could find a course to cover that many of my (amazing array of) talents if I tried. So anyhoo I’ve been working a lot on my design portfolio, but I think I have quite a bit of time to spend on it as the course doesn’t start til September 2008! Yep missed the deadline for 2007 – i could probably get a last minute interview, but I don’t have a portfolio yet so that’d be pretty pointless. Not many of you have actually seen my graphical talents outside of my dinky little website and various bits and pieces that I’ve put together for people so here ya go, some random tat (aka grade A material, biyatches!) from my a-levels last year:

Pretty nifty eh?

Ok also I am starting a sketching and drawing class very soon (tomorrow night actually, eep!) so that will take up a bit of my time in the future. Drawing isn’t something I’m great at and I fancied a challenge so why not! I’m going on my own and I’m scared, the course has been running for a while now and I turn up on my own not being able to draw for shit?! Uh oh! *does a funny panicky dance* Just call me Dr Panickypill!

So there ya go, I’m plodding along nicely as usual, I’m just setting myself more challenges for the time being. I love to learn new things, hence my new site design. Learning XHTML and CSS so quickly was just to push myself and work myself hard so now I have it nailed, I’m bored of it! I get like that a lot, I like to have goals and challenges, something to work for.

Also since I’ve been working more, I’ve been giving myself more lazing around time as my health has been sorta neglected recently. I’m a little behind on my mails as always but I know you all understand that, and those of you that don’t aren’t worth bothering with ;) Part of the Rachy charm!

Oooh and something special!! Two poems about me from my wonderful friend Tomacy:

Ther was a sweet gal called rachy, if you ask her for fun & games she’ll say ‘maybe’. Her panties are sweet and tasty, id love to eat them like pastry!!

Rachy oh rachy that babe who lives north up in blighty, when you are ther take a good sniff on the air you may just just get a wiff under her nightie!!!

Attempt one….hmmm. Pastry?! *makes a yuck face* But the second one gave me a big smile so it’s a success in my book! Well done my arty farty friend! *hugs* You make me smile :)

Anyway that’s all from me for tonight, just wanted to let you all know I’m feeling grrrRRRRrrreat! Hope you all are too, and I hope you all gave your mummies a happy day on Sunday :)

Take care peeps,
Rachy

PS – For those of you who don’t get the Dr Panickypill comment, didn’t you ever see Doctor Snuggles?!

Hi Rachy,
I’m sure everything will be just fine with the drawing class as you’re such a talented lady :)
Don’t worry about falling behind with you mails, you just take care of yourself so that when the time comes to return to your studies you are fit and well.

All my love,

Geordie Pete

Clever girl sweety, keep flexing that muscle :)

CSS you can study for years, it still keeps me going even now and it’s enough to drive you crazy when there’s a problem you can see no reason for. I love it though, I’m a coder at heart.

Oh, while I’m here, I bring help. If you want your blog onsite like we talked about before then go to these people: http://www.install4free.wordpress.com. They’re trsutworthy people that will have your blog set up on your site in a flash. There is an IMPORT button on the WordPress dashboard and you can flip that switch and have your posts moved over. Then you can play with your templates etc and learn some more stuff :)

*squeezes*

It’s so good to see you upbeat and bubbly Rachy, and taking on a new challenge. I’m sure the drawing class will go well. I hope you will show us some of your drawings when you are happy with them.
The design bits look very professional, very impressive.

Good luck for this evening. let us know how you get on.

Love Den xxxxx

Hope all goes well on your sketching class. I am sure you will enjoy it as you are a very creative girl. When I got married I gave up photography as I could not not afford the time or money so I started to go to the local Art Association. Although I enjoyed it I eventually returned to photography as I found it easier than painting and had far more success.

So you are going to do a foundation degree in media design and publishing. Knowing you I am sure you will find it a breeze and you have plenty of time to prepare for it.
