Reliving the past again! My short magenta haircut happened pretty soon after I ditched the dreadlocks, it was my “growing the shaved undercut out” hairstyle.

This is from September 2004, and I know this because that’s the room from my second year at university, and I actually threw the magenta dye on my pretty blonde hair a couple of days after I moved in. Oh, those wild and crazy days.

Hurr, goffick! Me and my best friend Nell in uh… 2002 I think. We were about to head out on the town and her mum wanted a photo because she thought we looked ‘cool’. The shame.

It breaks my heart to have to leave my dog behind whenever I go to college. Especially when she climbs into my suitcase and looks at me like that.

I had the same experience during my undergraduate course. My weimaraner (Spooky, he was awesome!) was so sad I had to leave, but amazingly happy every time I came home. When I was away, apparently he used to sleep in my bedroom during the day.

Now, though, I’m going to commute from home to the university for my postgrad course. That way I still get to see my pup every day, and have none of the “I won’t see you for months!” guilt.

Granted, that’s not a possible solution for everyone, but having to move away from my dog again was just not going to happen.

Rocky is so spoilt. Not only does he get a fancy little crate downstairs (which he loves), he also gets my old (double-sized) duvet AND the old Egyptian-style duvet cover! See? It’s little Ancient Egyptian thingies all over it!

He also should be in there sleeping right now, but I might keep him in my room tonight and let him sleep on top of my bed. Just because I can.
