I stole this off Brandon's blog, he's a really talented musician I discovered through myspace years ago, in 2005 or something. Goes by the name of
Abandoned Interstate. He wrote most of the stuff on his page in the 8th grade! He's now sixteen years old, signed to an indie label, and I think he's genius.
Anyway, it occured to me recently that through the magic of lijit - yep, that little box over there! - that I have readers I've never met. People that aren't my friends, whom like to read this and see if they're mentioned and laugh at my interpretations of our lives. (Thanks for that, by the way guys). These anonymous people - they keep coming back. People in London, Sheffield, Manchester, Glasgow.. Australia, America, France! And in the same town, time after time! So, I figured. They must be interested, or something. Let's tell them some more crap about me, that my crazy friends would already know.
1. I'd hit Madam Hooch (Harry Potter, fools!) so hard. Yum. ESPECIALLY in the movie.
2. I am a bit of a computer nerd. And I like gaming. A lot.
3. I started teaching myself drums aged eleven.
4. I love watching those police shows, when they chase idiotic drivers for miles and they end up crashing or running away.
5. Thursday night is visiting Grandma night. Since like, forever.
6. I live in a flat.
7. I like nothing more than going for aimless walks with my friends, talking about nothing in particular.
8. I actually practically live for summer.
9. I'm so addicted to Bejeweled, it's beyond amusement.
10. I'm secretly sad that everyone, including myself, got sick of Myspace.
11. A lot of my friends think I'm really old fashioned when it comes to relationships. Hey, maybe I am!
12. I love cooking. Sometimes I just cook because it makes me feel better when I'm not even hungry. Then someone else eats it and says it's nice! :D
13. I still haven't told my extended family I'm homosexual. And it bothers me how scared I am.
14. I love intelligent conversations about politics and world issues and stuff!
15. The current "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" crap in the american military and the Prop 8 shit makes me really upset.
16. I think
GayGod is AWESOME. Except when he dances.
17. I write songs constantly. I have like fifteen full notebooks or something. I also wrote a musical.
18. I'm starting to worry at my lack of motivation when it comes to education. I just want to travel and stalk bands and act. =/
19. For some reason being eighteen feels REALLY different to like.. well, being seventeen.
20. The TV series True Blood squicks the shit out of me. And I love vampires and shit!
21. I'm probably one of the most affectionate people you will ever meet.
22. I realised recently it's an unconcious effort of mine to see the best in everyone, even if they treat me like shit.
23. Girls, really, REALLY confuse me. And this bothers me, as I'm one myself.
24. I cut my hair short aged fourteen. To this day I don't know why I didn't do it earlier. Before then it went down to my waist. It was annoying.
25. I often get tears in my eyes whenever I talk with a friend about how much we love Paramore, or start reminiscing about the gig. This freaks me out.
26. I'd probably actually go insane if I couldn't write and scribble and stuff. Same goes with reading.
27. My first ever real concert was Steps. ;)
28. I started crying and had to sit down when we found out in the sixth form study room via wikipedia that Blink 182 were reforming.
29. Similarly, me and my best friend Charli were inconsolable when it seemed likely Travis Barker was going to die.
30. I took the day off from my part time job today because I'm sick.
31. 21 Guns is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. And I love Green Day.
32. I'm seriously, really badly obsessed with the punk movement in the late 1970's and the 1980's in general. Especially the New Romantic movement.
33. Adam Ant is an absolutely HUGE hero of mine.
34. I lurk on LJ communities. Like skins_fans, naomi_x_emily, torch_wood, etc. Reading fic and stealing icons and such to use on msn.
35. Torchwood WAS one of my favourite shows. RTF wrecked it. (Go back a few blogs to see my rage-fuelled recaps of the atrocity that was Children of Earth).
36. As much as I love Joss Whedon, I still can't quite forgive him for killing off Tara McClay. (BtVS).
37. I LOVE lolcats.
38. My last fm is primarily full of 80's bands. And I can't word how much I love Duran Duran.
39. I say "idk" out loud. =/
40. I'd seriously marry Hermione Granger.
41. I really, really, want a cat.
42. I practically have a comedy partner in the form of Tatti. (Her blog is in the links!)
43. Some of the best days of my life have been spent on a beach with a bbq.
44. I love kissing. Like, really. I fucking
love it.
45. I'm so loud.
46. I can sit and watch Only Fools and Horses for literally, days. And kill myself laughing at it all the while.
47. I'd love to have Naomi Campbell of Skins as a girlfriend, and JJ as my best mate.
48. I consider recieving a Starbucks mug, and their caramel syrup for my 18th birthday, one of the most awesome things EVER.
49. I wish I had a twin brother.
50. I found this quite difficult!
