Hooray for me!

Interview by MyssK!

1. What is one of the most influential books you’ve read? If you don’t feel there’s been one, choose a “most” option from this list: creepiest, worst, best, boring, or erotic.

Influential…. hmm, I guess the book coming closest to that category would be To Kill A Mockingbird – I can’t remember the author right now. I wouldn’t say it directly influenced me, as I already agreed with the moral ideas put across, but it was certainly an amazing read and, without turning this into English coursework, I did enjoy the end where the girl (can’t remember the name, I read this book a little while ago) meets Boo and it’s a reminder that not only should you not judge on appearance, as so many in the town did, but you shouldn’t judge on reputation either, as the kids did with Boo. I like to read. I’ve been told to read Catcher in the Rye too. Macca’s also told me to buy the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett but I doubt they fall into the same category.

2. If you felt you could live with no limits – no self-imposed, no outwardly-imposed – what would be some of the first things you’d do?

*grins* No limits? As in, free to do whatever the fuck I want without a solitary mental or physical negative consequence or barrier? Sweet! The material side of me would immediately get tickets to every Green Day gig going, and fight my way onto the stage every night, knock Jason White cold, and play second guitar with the band instead of him. Amazing. That would be a total dream come true. Other than that? I dunno. I think I’d probably do something really weird if the mood took me, like, say, I dunno, streak through the town centre on a Saturday. That would make everyone pay attention. Or walk up to *someone* and knock out a few teeth. Hell yeah. Or maybe not him. Maybe Butler. GOD, I hate him. At least he’s not Runshaw-ing. *happy* Then I’d do your average things, like bungee jumping, free falling, parachuting, paragliding…. extreme stuff that I wouldn’t normally be able to do. I’d go to Japan, I’d tour America… ideas are coming thick and fast now…

3. Here’s a fun one: Pussy hair – wild, trim, or shave? Why?

Shave. Heh, for some reason I found myself discussing this at a party with 4 lads. I dont know how it happened. They were all off their faces, and I wasn’t, which was rather amusing. (I would have been too, but I had a wedding to sing at in the morning and post-hangover singing voice is not the one I pick for performing in.) I should try being sober in drunken company more often. But, I digress. I guess shaving is just hassle-free. I can’t be arsed doing anything fiddly or complicated.

4. What is one of your favorite accomplishments so far in life?

So far…. getting distinctions in all my singing exams to date? I’m quite proud of that. Or maybe getting 12 GCSE’s, none below a B? Certainly did my Runshawing a world of good. Getting into Runshaw? That’s an achievement I’m proud of! God, I love it…. Or… possibly…. GETTING A MUSIC A* WHERE *SOMEONE ELSE* DIDN’T?? HAHAHAHAHA!!! Life is GOOD, folks.

5. If you could have any career, regardless of finances and reality, what would you choose? If you don’t know the answer to this, give me some random closing remark. 😉

Oh, I’d be the biggest rock star the world has ever known. I’d play the guitar like a bitch, I’d write amazing songs about politics and social misgivings, and I’d have FUN. I’d be doing something I loved – singing, playing the guitar, and putting on a hell of a show – and, well, it would be just so incredible to live the dream, really. I could also become a jazz singer. I like jazz too, and it suits my voice. I just want to sing. To be honest thats the only career I’ve ever been able to conceivably picture myself in. I wouldnt be happy doing anything else, I guess. But whatever I do eventually do, singing or not, it’s gotta incorporate music in in some way. Or I would probably die.

Random closing remark, huh? Well, I cant think of one. But seeing as how I’m continuing this into a long overdue entry, it doesnt really matter, and would in fact be deemed highly innappropriate. <— I love that word. It's my word of the day. Ohhh yes yes yes.

GCSE results!

Music – A*
English Language – A*
English Literature – A*
Maths – A (Bloody hell.)
Double Science – AA
Statistics – A (And again I say unto you – Bloody hell.)
ICT (Applied) – BB
Art – BB
German – B (HAHAAAAAAAA!!!)

Well, fuck me!! 3 A*s!! Far better than I ever hoped! I’m WELL proud of my little Music A* there…. I’d have been a little bit gutted if I missed out on it, it’s the only A* I really really wanted… but 3! Amazing, I tell ye. And B! In German!! HAHAHAHAHA!! Cram that up yer jacksie, Balders! Fail grade, my arse! Cleared it with room to fucking SPARE.

What’s even more amazing are my As in Maths and Science. I’m quietly stunned at those. That was some kind of miracle.

And was Mr Clay overestimating me or did the examiner not like BBEC? I was predicted A*, and I got A* in my coursework. Everyone I know who took Drama at BBEC got marked down from what they were predicted. Which sucks. Apparently there’s an enquiry going on? Some odd rumours going round. But I dont care that much. I only needed a B to take the course at Runshaw. And I got me a B! And I am happy.

Runshaw. Fucking. Rocks. Its SO much better than high school. I miss the people at BBEC, sure, but hell. There are some ace people at Runshaw too. And I love my subjects (incidentally, Music, Drama and Theatre Studies, Performance Studies, and English Lang/Lit Combined)and I love my new friends and I love my old friends and I love the way we have time off between some subjects and I love the whole frickin’ system and… wow, college just…. rocks. I seriously love it. I wish more BBEC people came. But it still rocks. I’ve met some ace people – Catherine, Frasier, Hannah, Kieran, Sophie, and many more besides – and it’s just so cool and wow and love and yeah. I’ll shut up now. Just thought you all ought to know that I’m settling right on in.

Haha, the irony is that after 5 years of staying behind after school and during lunches to do extra-curric music stuff, while everyone skipped merrily away, I have hardly any homework now I’ve started college, while everyone else is laden with it. I’ll get shitloads when it gets later on in the year. But I like it like this. Easy transition. Good for settling in. And plenty of free time to socialise, guilt free. Good times, friends, good times….

Got sick of purple hair that nobody could see. Went black instead. Used 2 bottles of dye and even that wasnt enough. :S But ahwel. Black = good. Purple = gone.

Just like I, in fact, am now gone.

Bye!
