@afterdarks got me this singing bird thing from China :) You put water in it and when you blow through it it sounds like a bird. I haven't had one of these since the 90s!
Cheers G. You rawk.
Went for lunch with @afterdarks today, then we ended up in the pub with some friends for three hours, then we had dinner, now we're going out, yay life!
AN INVALUABLE MOMENT CAUGHT IN TIME.
this is @afterdarks. i stole her NUS number to buy something on newlook.com. she then wanted to buy stuff on there and couldn't use the code as it was attached to my account. so i just had to sort that out. georgie is a lovely person, but hot damn she's ugly.
Erm, I guess I should update you loads about all the well exciting stuff that I've been up to, recently.
Let's go in reverse order.
New Year was amazing. I spent it with so many amazing people, too many to list in a sporadicbooth blurb, but they were all amazing. If you were there, I probably like you, in some capacity.
Christmas was right nice. Spent it with family and had a well awesome lunch. I got these headphones as one of my presents. They are by weSC and are the White Bongo headphones. They are the tits, quite frankly.
I stopped making videos on YouTube "indefinitely". I unlisted all of my videos as I get no joy from making them.
I make films at college, the last thing I want to do is to come home and make films. I wasn't happy with any of them, the only ones that I really enjoyed making were the ones with my friends, and that's only two of them, and the same person appears in both of them... You can however watch any videos I make from college at
Y U MAD BRO Productions is a production company set up by myself and some of my friends. We'll be uploading short films, documentaries, adverts, anything we film. Speaking of documentaries...
I wrote a mockumentary. More on this to come in the future.
I wrote a short black comedy/drama. More on this to come in the future.
LOL, come in the future.
I haven't matured.
I've been panicking loads about university and UCAS applications, even though I got it sent well before deadline day. I've heard back from some unis about my application being processed, which is good, as it means I'm on track.
I've been talking a lot with friends about university.
My first choice since the beginning of applications has been King's College London. The prestige and everything that comes with it stands out and it looks absolutely amazing. The film studies course looks incredibly interesting, and suits me down to the ground.
If I got in, I'd live in London, I'd only be a 30+ minute train journey home if it got too awful, I'd know my way around the place and, above all, the accent is totally bearable.
The downside, that I hadn't taken into any consideration, is that I'd be the only person I know going there. No one else from my college is going there to study film. I'd have to make a whole new bundle of friends, for the second time in three years, and that's not something that looks too appealing.
I'm not amazing at making new groups of friends. I find it awkward, I dislike most people, I'm painfully shy, and I just don't enjoy it.
And here is what the other side to the argument is:
I've also applied for film studies at Portsmouth uni. My sister went there and she enjoyed it. All of my friends (from YUMADBRO) have also applied there for film related courses.
It's not all of our primary choices, but it's definitely up there. We were talking about it yesterday, saying how awesome it would be if we all went through uni together.
The more we were talking about it, the more and more I wanted to go to Portsmouth. I'd be learning the exact same thing but with my friends.
Obviously, it doesn't come down to "my friends go there, i'll go there", that would be ludicrous.
I just don't really know what to do... I should probably wait for some offers first... :/
Apart from that, I haven't been doing a great deal. Just watching films (50/50, Clue), listening to music (Radio Moscow, The Flaming Lips) and reading books (This is a Book by Demetri Martin and the Scott Pilgrim series by Bryan Lee O'Malley).
So the questions to find answers to today are:
Will I ever make YouTube videos again? I don't know, but probably no.
When will I booth next? I don't know.
Where will I go to university? I don't know.
Do I look like a ponce in this picture? I do know.
