30 days of photos - Day 16: Lyrics

I was going to do a new self portrait for this but I decided against it. Why? Because every song I have been listening too lately and have stuck in my head are mellow kinda depressing ones. Mostly because I find crooning songs better to edit photos too (seriously, do you edit photos to a certain flavour of music?? I cant do really upbeat stuff while post processing).

I can honestly say that nearly every single self portrait i have done in the past has been either named with lyrics or inspired by lyrics so i decided to pick an old one.. but it was hard to do!

I was trolling through them all tonight searching for one for this project and got stuck instead strolling down memory lane.  Then I came across this one, and laughed my ass off.

Back story to this? Aaron and I had only just broken up. I was home alone as Dave was out shagging his then psychopathic girlfriend (not the lovely one hes managed to snag now) and I was in a slump. Dude I was so freaking depressed and I just needed to have some fun so I created the series of pictures (where this one is from) called 'When the flatmate is away..' and went a bit nuts with the music up loud and rocking my fishnets.



The music i was listening to? Seven by Vagiant. I was introduced the song by Jade in New Orleans and whenever I hear it i always end up jumping about and imagine us playing Rockband in our jammies drinking rum and being dorks. I remember the way she sang it. It was one of the first times I had actually heard her sing and she, seriously, can SING. Te song reminds me of how close Dave and I used to be, and how i thought I would seriously have to beat up his psychopathic girlfriend.

The song makes me happy and this picture makes me laugh my arse off. I really am a dick.

(oh and i miss my body! I thought i was hideously fat, waaah!!)
