Calum in Nappies

9 months ago

August 15, 2012 Thornton Heath, Greater London, UK When my cousins stayed over in the summer holidays. Keley, Calum, Maddie, and Lexi (only a bubby). And Calum (12) is so small he can fit into Maddie's (3) nappies. Tee Hee.

XD KLAUM "People can lick too..." Creepy McCreeperson

And then my mum came in and made us crap bricks when she told us off. *Scrambles back into bed*

Where did you and your friends hang out as teenagers?

10 months ago

September 12, 2010 London Borough of Camden, Greater London, UK I think when we were about thirteen or fourteen it was Camden... Because their market was awesome and they were always handing out free samples. But we also spent this one amazing day at Streatham park and we got absolutely drenched in the pool... Meant for children. I can't even remember what we did in the park at Camden... It was so distant

Describe your childhood home.

10 months ago

Hastings, East Sussex, UK There were many- but for the last seven years we've been in the same one and I can't believe how many shades of paint it's been in its life time. The one before this was in hastings, the bane of life... And the garden was huge... My stepbrothers used to come around and we made a game of jumping from the second floor windows, across the two metre gap and onto the top of the shed... But how we got down lord knows...

December 15, 2009 Norbury, Thornton Heath, London Borough of Croydon, London SW16, UK This is Peyton and I on one of the school snow days I think back in 2009-10. The three of us, Peyton, Hester and I used to walk to school together, that was until Hester the traitor left us. But we were always being loud and rowdy int he mornigns and waking up the neighbours. I remember one of the old ladies leant out her bedroom window and told us off. But this is just one of the examples of our street party's on the way to school

Who were your best friends in high school & what were they like?

11 months ago

Norbury, Thornton Heath, London Borough of Croydon, London SW16, UK That's a hard one, because we sat in a friendship group of nine people, and people used to just tag on... But there are three or four people I know were the close ones... Hester, Jenelle, Holly, Issie, Aisha, Rhianne, Rachel and Bria... But I had friends that didn't even sit with us that I felt a bond to...

Like Ruby- who was the first one to make me cry at the sky, and we sat doodling and jabbering phrases like 'saggy foreskin' and 'cunt muncher' til the cows come home.

But Jenelle was something else entirely- the babe who walks me half way home because she knows me inside and out and when left alone I am harmful to both myself and others. I just graviate towards her because she's fabulous at making me happy. I can't even begin to tell you about the fun we had. I love her family, especially Mama Addow, Lavelle and her uncle who plays sexy christian music. Not to mention her street dancing little sister, Danielle who is mah supah man. Jenelle is a natural rapper, that martin luther king rap was ace.

And then there's Issie, who was always flirting with me. We held hands all the time and I felt like she was my brother from another mother. I remember the time Kimberly threw up on her in our english class... Cringe...

Holly as well, In English she practically sat on my lap- always smiling and laughing and when Aisha and Holly and Issie got together there is non stop singing, 'the greatest love' and other whitney houston medley's...

Rhianne was the biggest help when it came tomy school work- and I feel like I'm connected to her family. The last event we went to with Rhianne was her sixteenth and I felt especially close to her sister, Misha who showed me her justin Bieber perfume and ate my rice... Her infatuation for cupcakes and all things pink always makes me laugh.

I'll never forget rachel, who put up with all of my stupid questions in physics as we discussed Victorious and how I was her Tori and she was my Andre and how Rhianne was Kat. We always used to scrap over who got the good chair and I'll never forget the way she used to pretend to ignore me sometimes when I pissed her off.

Along with those few there's also, Nausheen, my favourite terrorist rapper who is forever spitting out Lowkey, and posting on Fb about Islam and teaching me the Quran inside and out.

And then there's Aisha, who always wore more fake tan than neccesary- and in drama when she came in that day complteley orange muslim, we made a sketch in which she was called 'Satsuma hero'.

I'll eternally love Shannan, not Shannon, my twin- legit, because apart from our slight pigment differences and erm sizing issues, we look pretty much alike. She always comes out with the crazy's and our drama teacher couldn't tell us apart...

And Jazmine, who gave me hugs when I didn't want to give them out- she tickled me and played with my hair and has this knack of calling people Bubba... Our time at Creams after our mocks and that nom nom food and dressing up in Alex's scarf so we could be muslim...

Then there's Bira, and that one time I accidentally stole her Blackberry and took it home and she freaked out- I didn't even notice... Too distracted during the talent show by Jenelle's wrapping. Bria has always been there with words of comfort... She's my angel.

Seaford, East Sussex, UK The day we went to the sea side, for a completely irrelevant georaphy trip. "Don't go too far into the sea!" Yeah right.

Where did you go to school?

12 months ago

Thornton Heath, Greater London CR7 8BT, UK Norbury Manor- probably the most... troubled school in the world... All those moments on the back field with the... erm.. Bees and beer. (cringe) And that time Issie and Aisha got stung by the wasp. Then holly put the condom on her ponytail. And those bundle piles. Never will forget those 'crazy' highs. And those cute days back in year seven, everybody was so small, and some still are.

What's your best photo from a party?

12 months ago

April 30, 2012 Purley, Greater London, UK We walked in looking all smug "we can do this"- an hour later, and less than half way through the burger, we hit the wall, and went on a burger high. Never eaten (or at least tried to) that much meat in my life...
