The latest arty self-portrait.

Est with Jimmy Saville.

Missing the train.

Tim and I, discussing the pros and cons of abusing painkillers.

Jusq'ici tout va bien.

Tom.

Liz looking blurry and beautiful.

An artistic rendering of the Geology Crew (Prev Sam, Toby, Scrumpy Sam and Gaz) by Scrumpy Sam.

Me on the stairs in Covent Garden underground station, having a marathon style breather (30 seconds before I emptied the water over my head and carried on running).

Insanity Hell - that's Gaz's cheeky little face in the foreground.

SURHUL at it's best.

Jo eating chocolate. If that doesn't make you cry you're probably dead inside.

Ro and I get marauded by the local bully at School Disco.

"Seriously, marra, I could eat a cigarette."

Sam, Jo and Est back in September. Est and Jo met that day and randomly had their photo taken with Sam, who then became our mate sometime in November, at which point this photo was discovered and we all went - that's weird.

Mr Jaggar tearing up the decks at the union.

Previously-long-haired-Sam, Toby, Scrumpy Sam and Gaz at Emergency Services... looking good.

Me and Kate at Insanity Hell. Apparently FHM voted Royal Holloway the most beautiful university in the UK, women-wise...

Kate, with what appears to be two giant Polo mints stuck in her eyes.

Endrit, not looking particularly hellish.

Adam, looking very helllish indeed.

Gaz and Elise.

Me (wearing my clothes) and Gaz (also wearing my clothes) on the night we got dolled up and made an inedible chocolate cake.

Esther gets the horn at Insanity Hell night.

Frankie and Emilie on the steps in the quad at night.

Joe, me, Dave, Est and Tom on Est's birthday.

Kate and I, different night, same place, same pub.

Naomi, Liz, Fflur (pronounced Flee-rr) and Jo at Insanity Hell.

Joe and me on Esther's birthday.

My aunty Daisy's Yorkshire terrier, Jamie. The only dog in the world that doesn't scare me... Self-portrait.

Heddle Cottage, Orkney. My mum grew up here; it's the most peaceful place in the world. Taken by Andrew.

A painting of an aubergine by Adam Townsend. Scanning did not do this picture justice. On the back of the painting it says "All thee who stand before these gates shall be judged - 31-01-2003". That was our favourite quote at the time :) 

The name 'Angelic Fruitcake' comes from a Placebo lyric. The reason I'm using it for my blog is because once upon a time a friend of mine wrote me a letter and addressed it to Angelic Fruitcake. This is that letter. Copyright Adam Townsend 'cos it's his handwriting! 

A letter from Emilie, with art and our special secret password which no one else knows about. Shit. What you can't see is the bit where she discusses Big Brothel and my being chained to a sink. Copyright Emilie! 

Soulinthecity badge and travel pass. The pink sticker was given to me on my 17th birthday by a guy who painted my nails for me as a present; the paint splodges are from decorating the Ivybridge centre in Hounslow. 

Awful picture, gorgeous sunset. First night at Soulinthecity. The lights at the campsite against the sunset made the whole place look like a giant airstrip. You can't see that in the picture though, sadly.
