Talk talk talk....

Away from london.. this shud be the next title to a book... it sounds captivating dont you think?

i could be wrong, i could be right! always try a place once if you miss it go back to it.

????

Almost 2 months and i havent posted anything... ive had so much to say but nothing to write...



so much has happened in the past 2-3 months i dont know where to begin..

ITS BEEN A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS..

from film to play to NOTHING but having fun..

traveling..parties..sleeping..shopping.. the IT girl life....

but its so not me.. im so bored with it all, the jordan life of the manicured girl!!! im more of the east side trailtrash girl.. different to the social form of this small society

some one once said - ur too big for this place and i never understood it, its not an ego thing, more of a creative aspect!!!

Destination unknown is the way i like to see it..but the beats still rocken' and my bodies moven'...

LONDON-JORDAN-BEIRUT

next step

?

but i want more... so it will happen.

Big fish in a small pond

Small fish in a big pond

I can't see the LINES!!!

IT GOT THE POINT WHERE.......N.O.T.H.I.N.G

nothing changes..everythings the same except for the gorgoues studio, EAST SIDE!

one way taxi ride to Dalston, 10 minute bus ride to the russian bar and from there the night is ours.

ahhhhh im breathing fire..down the strawberry yogurt, light a cig and do it again <3

Russina bar

M&F mixing till 3 am

L&L playing table football and using the bathroom every 5 minutes for reasons one cannot explain!

Smoking outside

this is weird but i guess better..

U DONT STINK

everything feels good, my eyes are bright my body sticky, my head is flying but im with my people again.

THANKS FOR THE GOOD TIMES

"good to see...no wait! wicked to have you here! HABIBI!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!"

I LOVE YOU MORE

AND THE STORY CONTINUES... ill be bk for another 2 day receipy at #9...

OH NOOOOOOOOOO HERE IT GOES AGAINNNNN!!!! X

OK so its been a while!!!
lifes been hectic, first stuck in the desert chewing on sand and enjoying the shooting stars... sleeping 12 hours and still being tired...
second well, wait a sec, i dont think there is one!

however as always a trip to the dead sea seems to always make you feel better.. of course poping a pill at the same time, lifes a joy!!!!


Bk to Wihdat we go, madaba streeet.. damn!!!!!! look like a tramp and you wont get the whistles HAHAHAHA. you got arms legs and tits watever u look like, theyre stares will burn your clothes off

THE SIMPLE LIFE - by Hollie Johnson


Amman summer 2007 - feels like home..
Old friends, new memories:


Sun, swimming, drinking always.. Reunited - poppet and petal.

Not a care in the world - other than when poppet will be free to meet petal.!
Summer loving for for the siblings - give us a wedding to look forward to - make us relatives!


Long hot days, longer hotter nights - this is all we want it to be.

Simple Life.

Poem by Patchi: -

Pounani Days

i like green ham and eggs

Green ham likes me,

so clearly pounani has

nothing to do with this...

hahahahaha!!! weirdo!!

Heat & Army L.O.V.E

43 degree's heat!
Can't sleep and at least 3 showers a day!

A heat wave yet again

This summer is wild. The most random and hectic of all.

Sometimes i really don't know whats happening, and yes i truely am an actress, only these things tend to occur in my life schedule.

A week ago -

Make a list of all army requirements!

What the hell do i know about Army Requirements?

A week later -

Damn...!

I think i love the Army!!!

APC M113

Rattles

Humvees

AK 47's

M4's

HUEY HELICOPTER - "Please ride it...you'd make my year!!"

Some things in life happen for a reason, a season or a life time!

for me i'm odd and will always stay odd....

listening to Hot Chip

BOY FROM SCHOOL

and yes i like it

i want to be it, embodie it, work for it, be the bitch for it...

WHY?

BECAUSE IM AN ACTRESS THATS WHY!

AMMAN NATION

A day in the life of a dust princess..

Buddha-bar volume 7 slowly playing to the mood of a saturday afternoon
DAY OFF?? not today and not for the next 3 months..

how would you describe AMMAN?

S - "a old modern city! i dont know.. youll find a roman ruin next to a high rise building.. shit! its like your favourite pair of jeans, no matter how ripped they are you can never throw them away."

L - "high class vs lower class- now thats a deep conversation! mercedes S class, Hummers, BMW, 4x4- land rovers, range rovers, mercedes box rover, Porsche.. roaming the streets of a 6 million society city."

its like a love hate relationship

"you know its so wrong but its the wrongness that keeps you"

A land of desert, technology, tribes, kings and queens, princes and princess.. no matter if not royalty, society will class you as a higher person because its what it is.

i tend to describe it as an egg - white being the poor side, the yellow the rich - sounds odd but true.

To see it you'll beleive it.

Thats Amman, Thats Jordan, Thats The Middle East

Executive Producers turned to 3 angels

DAY 5

The Boss has left!!! 2 am flight to Santa Fe...

Blondie and Brunnette living the dream only separated for the time being!!!

To Her

When the sun shines
We'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
