WhO arE YoU

Currently typing from home, the christmas holidays are upon most of us uni students; The stress and hand ins of our very first term (semester's) are over. I practically ran back to Worthing where my parents house is. Now don't read that and think oh she hates university; I LOVE UNIVERSITY but of course like most things there are downs sides like being poor 24/7 unless your on some amazing student loan or from Qatar there is a chance in the past three months you have been eating frozen £1 garlic bread as dinner. With no mayo. Or having to sit on either your bed of a uncomfortable desk chair that is strangely starting to bobble. Can desk chairs bobble? sitting on a sofa after not being able to sit on any sofa's for a number of weeks in like heaven to your arse. I tell you.

Anyway...
"Who am I?' at the start of my course of Make-up & Hair design at Southampton Solent we had to do a mini summer project of where we saw ourselves in 5 years... In my head I thought the most obvious thing of wanting to work in the theatre and on movies but will that change? probably; I've discovered I like writing, writing a point, writing something that you will randomly stumble across whilst googling honey bees and my blog of what in my mind useful and witty posts you come across.
Make-up was never something I thought I would end up doing a degree on to be fair in college I didn't think I would be doing anything as I though going out socialising was my entire world; how things change. I left college with the worst grades ever (if you're american of course this would be high school) feeling pretty shitty about wasting two years of my life and spending a ridiculous amount of money a week on Mayfair 20 packs. God knows how but I managed to get into Northbrook a local college my way to do a art foundation for a year. The slowest year at the time of my life; I couldn't stand the place but in a way my dislike for the ridiculous ways I was being told spurred me on to actually work. Work hard. Heading into the area of 3-D was when Make-up finally struck me in the heart it was like Cher in Clueless realising her love for Josh.







Quite obviously I ended up doing alright and getting a place at Solent. Now Solent was literally my dream, I was begging and begging who ever to get me into Solent. Its a degree; its not some day course where suddenly you are a Makeup artist. This was the big mamma. I remember in my interview practically begging my interviewer to see my potential.

Getting into there and deciding who I wanted to has changed everything I'm living in Southampton; of course its no London but its still good and I'm working extremely hard. Lameeeee I know. I learnt maybe the hard way things are NOT given to you on a golden plate of life. You won't look like Beyonce sitting on the sofa for eight hours a day eating beef monster munch.

Yes but who are you?
I need to learn how to get to the point.
I'm Amy Curtis but most people that know me call me AJ... 'Amy Jane Curtis' it was a nickname my nan called me and it kind of stuck. Also as I have a extremely common name and it being one of those typical things I had a girl in my year at school called Amy Curtis which sucked balls as there was always eye rolling jokes about who anyone actually meant.

I'm 20; just turned the ripe old age in September. I always find 20 like a waiting room to being 21 like 17 is to 18. Who on earth wants to wait another year until their legal to go out. 21 and I'll be legal everywhere i.e. Hello you big beautiful Apple.

I'm vegetarian. Don't ask me why; I don't like the taste the animal rights views have grown with age and increasing knowledge

I have a mum a dad a sister and a brother who all smell except myself
I am also the baby of the family.

Thats pretty much all that needs to be known right now. Well maybe the exception of my ridiculous and to some mental love for my dog Honey (BlogTitle) she is ten and my furry bestie 4 lyf.
