Hello, faithful readers.

Miss me?

I'll pretend you said yes, and continue on with this. Otherwise, well, just stop reading. Okay. Stop.

Stopped?

Okay. Good. Now that they're gone, let's get on with it.

I'm honestly not sure what to talk about as I can't remember what my last was on, so I'll just ramble and hopefully entertain some of you.

(If I don't, feel free to not tell me. I won't mind. Honest.)

My life has been somewhat dominated by Uni, lately. I started. I'm not sure I like it entirely yet, but it's early days. Theatre Studies is predictably full of pompously pretentious people, but I feel like I'm beginning to find people I can get along with, which is a good thing. A really good thing.

I instituted a new feature in essay/presentations, in which I get people to give me random words to put it. I did well, managed to get them all in with the first round of essays. The hardest one was from a friend of mine who gave me "Hammock". In a Theatre Studies essay. Not to be bested by her, I did it. I've yet to gloat to her face, but I did gloat-text her. Which will do for now.

I don't want this to become one of those things, but I just watched "Stand By Me". Made me think about the fact that this, right here and now, is generally the time where friends begin to shift and change and you lose touch with people. And I'm trying desperately not to have that happen.

There endeth serious real life talk. I promise.

Anyway, it's late. I've rambled enough. And I'll try and do this more often.

Until then, Au revoir, Faithful Readers.

The future's rappin' at my door...

Hello faithful readers!

It seems I neglect this blog a tad... But much of what I have to say can be accurately surmised in 140 characters or less, so therefore much of it goes to twitter. I can also twitter from my iPhone, and don't need to sit down at a computer and type something, which unless it's entirely procrastinatory I get ever so slightly twitchy... Less so with this blog than other writing endeavors, but still.

Anyhoodle, what have I been up to since my last blog post, I hear you ask? Well aren't you in luck, that's almost exactly what this blog is about! What a crazy random happenstance.

(Dr. Horrible FTW!)

What to start with? I suppose the fact that today was results day would be an ideal place to start, considering it is actually one of the reasons behind thinking I should do a new one of these.

Yes, today I got my results from my 6th year exams. Exciting, no? No. Since I'm in Uni, it was far less of a deal than the last two years, and even then I was cool as a cucumber -- Which I suppose are cool, given the reputation they've earned over the years. It's just my nature.

Moving on, I managed to get a B in Advanced Higher English, which made me happy because I did the Creative Writing Folio with a script (what I want to do in life) and the diary thing I posted a while back, which I just enjoyed writing. I also did my Dissertation on film, which is what I'll be doing at uni, so all in all the B made me smile.

I got a B in music, too! Which also made me happy, because I had the previously mentioned on this blog teacher who was my favourite and bought me a pint at prom. And I just kind of didn't wanna let her down, 'cause she kept saying how she wanted me to do well 'cause she felt I deserved it. I think she might appeal because she had me down as an A, but I'm just glad I did well.

I got an A in Modern Studies (politics and stuff for any yanks), which surprised me 'cause I did like no work in the class. Or at home. Or studying. Or any Mods in the month before the exam because our teacher was off the last week before exams and we didn't go in, then, again, no studying. I guess I can just rant well about politics sometimes.

All in all, good year results wise.

So, the last month I've been at this Summer Uni thing, which has been good... Except having to drag myself there. Being there has been alright, but the having to go has been kind of a drag. But, I dropped Psychology. Not enough Derren Brown learning why people do what they do stuff, too much statistics. I dropped it after a 2 1/2 hour lecture on stats, my mind died. No more.

I got a B in my Philosophy essay, though. My first Uni essay (and my first Philosophy essay) and I got a B. So good start. Find out about my Film & TV essay tomorrow, so watch the twitter thingy over there ( >> ) and I'm sure I'll tweet my result.

I had my Driving test all booked for yesterday, then they went and cancelled last minute! Moved it to the 17th! Gonna keep trying to get a closer date, though. It really pissed me off, though. I just want to drive already!!

I think that's about everything in my life right now. Or, at least, the stuff I care to blog about. There's other, slightly confusing even to me stuff, and other long story whiney stuff, but this isn't the place. We oughta keep this place light! And happy! And often sarcastic and bitter, but in a jovial lighthearted kind of way.

My Pink Floyd poster just fell down... Totally didn't scare me.

Anyhoo... Erm...

American Psycho... In My Pants.

Spinal Tap... In My Pants

Quick round of "... In My Pants" to lighten the mood.

Go forth, and spread the love faithful readers. Namaste.

Hello faithful reader.

I'm back with an actual post, as opposed to the writing piece I posted last time.

I haven't made an actual post since May, so I won't lie, much has happened, though unfortunately non of it very interesting. But alas, you'll now be treated to various ramblings about most of them.

Firstly, I finished my exams in May, and thusly as of the 26th of May I have no longer been a high school pupil. Huzzah. Blimey, almost a whole month of being a non-pupil. In saying that, this week was the first week I've not been at the school ever day for the show. Which was strange, really. Having to go in at lunch times/after school being officially done with the place as an educational establishment.

Luckily, it was just to see one of the teachers I actually liked (my music teacher, who was my favourite last year. And only 24. lol). So, it wasn't all bad.

Speaking of the show (Oh yes, master of the segue at work), it went rather well. I much preferred playing the sadist Dentist, and -- so I'm told, and do feel myself -- I did rather kill on the wednesday (My last dentist night). I was told -- by the very teacher mentioned above, amongst other -- that I was worryingly good at playing a drug-addict-woman-beating-sadistic-masochist-dentist. I wonder what they're trying to say...

This week was my first week at the University Summer School, too. It really picked up when I got to the Film & TV class, then Philosophy. Psychology... well... we'll wait and see...

There was Prom, too. Wound up meeting an old friend from Primary (Elementary for you yanks), getting bought a pint by a teacher (the afore mentioned), and crashing on a friends armchair and barely sleeping. Good night. Best part of the night was my Suit, though. And hanging with the drunk Music/Drama teachers.

For a month of non-posting, I can think of very little else to say that's not vaguely self pittying and way too much for this generally cheery themed blog. And so I leave you with this:

"The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you’re uncool." - Almost Famous.

Goodnight, Farewell and Namaste faithful reader.

The Long And Winding Road...

Hello, faithful reader.

It's been a while, yes? Well over a month, almost two. I apologise for that, I do. I don't know what happened.

So, what -- I hear you ask -- has been going on? Well... Surprisingly little. I've either had little to say, or simply been to busy to say anything. Last few days I have honestly had this blog making page open most of the time I spent on the computer. Other things just took over, both things I had to do and strange and sudden moods that were less than good.

(I won't bore you with the details, 'cause I'm half convinced I'm just crazy.)

Though, I do have a few tales to tell, I suppose.

The first involves neds and immeasurable and ridiculous racism.

(Granted, all racism is ridiculous, but, this takes the cake. Really)

(Also, speaking of cake: The phrase "Have your cake and eat it too"... Eh? What's the point in having the cake if not to eat it? I mean, really...)

Anyhoo.

My friends and I, over our easter break, took a trip to the... *ahem*... lovely town of Ayr. While there, we had an encounter, lets call it, with the local neds. Now, we did nothing whatsoever, I presume they just got angered by the townies in their presence. Who knows. The strangeness comes in what they shouted at us.

Now, I must preface this with saying that my friends and I are incredibly white. I mean, unbelievably. You know, burn at the hint of sun white.

So why these [or this, it was mainly one of them] shouted [such things as] "Black bastards!" at us... Well, not one of us has yet to figure it out, really. It's just racism for racisms sake, really. There's no way he could actually have seen any black people anywhere near us... So who the fuck knows.

This trip, incidentally, decided my university for me. Realising Ayr is a catastrophically boring place, even with my bestest of buddies [and Tommy... long story], and living there to go to UWS seems like a very dull prospect. So Glasgow it is, and i'm kind of leaning towards the joint degree -- the previous outsider.

I have till Star Wars day [Monday. May the forth (be with you). Get it?] to officially accept, though.

The school show [Little Shop Of Horrors] is going well, and currently one of the few things about the school I like anymore.

Good thing I only have like 5 days of actually being in the school as a pupil left, right? I can't wait to get out of that place. Honestly. I'll miss some of the people, and the Music and Drama departments, but other than that...

I mean, the people in charge of the school don't seem to give a shit about the pupils in that place. Most of the ordinary teachers do, but the ones at the top don't give a shit.

This has been slightly rantier than I had anticipated, but there we go. I could rant about various other things, to be honest, but there's a lot of backstory and qualifying that must be done for those, and that's a bit much for what I really intend to be a far more light hearted little blog.

And, to end on a light hearted note, I think we should campaign to have the Queen dethroned and replace her with Stephen Fry. Kind Stephen Fry of Great Britain, has a real ring to it, right?

Anyhoodle, that's all for now.

Ta ta for now, faithful reader.

(PS. Race, probably a good call with the mermaid award, to be honest. Though I do appreciate the mention. =])

(PPS. I hope your feeling better from your period of illness)

(PPPS. And now, it's actually fairwell, faithful readers.)

Welcome

Welcome, Faithful Readers, to the NEW blog of mine.

Complete facelift, since I recently discovered a world of templates beyond those in the template chooser. I looked around, this is easiest to install and use, and still pertty, too.

I think I transported everything over. Except the Random Fact. But, you know. 

I think It looks better, tbh. Let me know what you think, if you feel the need.

For anyone who happens to be interested, still no word from UWS. And all roads [aka advice] lead to Glasgow. And not leaving home until physically booted out. Bleh. I've yet to decide. Glasgow Applicants day on 31st March, though. Gonna check that out, see if the course is what I think it is in terms of practical:theory ratio.

In the meantime, when/if I have something meaningful/amusing/interesting to say, It'll be here.

Onwards to the School Show auditions [yet to be blogged about].

Fare-thee-well, Faithful Reader.

Classic...

Classic. Simply brilliant. 

And on a side note, as per my twitterings, I got an Unconditional acceptance to Glasgow Uni, which is apparently kind of a big deal. Waiting on UWS. Then the dreaded choice. Bleh. Don't know which to go for.

More on that when I get further replies. Until then, Faithful [Incorporeal] Reader, Aurevoir.
