I need to take control of the direction that my life is heading in. I need to get a job. I need to try alot harder is my AS Levels. I need to start thinking about the career path which I want to pursue.

"To write is to write is to write is to write is to write is to write is to write.”

Sixth Form and my Future.

So I've started sixth form. I like it so far. I feel like it's given more confidence, which is always a good thing. I'm doing; Media, Film, English and Business. I'm not going to lie, I haven't been putting much effort in thus far. That's going to change, from today I'm going to try harder in all of my lessons, especially English and Media, as I've now decided I want to go into a career as a writer.

Friendships. (Or the lack of...)

Hello.

I haven't written a "proper" blog in a while. Well, in fact, I don't believe I've ever really written a "proper" blog. But how does one define proper?
"9. normal or regular." So no. In that repect, I definately haven't ever written a proper blog. Anyhow, I'm getting off from the point here...

What I really wanted to blog about was friendships. I don't belong to a specific group of friends. There's no point denying it, I just don't. I don't hang around with a select group of people all the time, and I don't meet up with a group out of school, either. I then get invited out places by groups of people. More often than not, I don't go. I tell myself it's because I don't have money, or I can't get there. I'm not lying when I say this, but I know I could probably ask my parents for some money, or I could ask one of my friends for a lift. This is probably due to confidence issue, stemed from the fact that I don't belong in a group of friends. It's a vicious cycle, really.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not just going to whine about this fact for the rest of my life. Worse things have happened. But, occasionally, it would be nice to belong to a group. I do love the people I'm friends with, and I do meet up with select individuals out of school, but never in a group larger than three.

Who knows, maybe I'll end up in a 'group' at some point in my life.

(And no, if anyone from a group of people that I know who are reading this, this is NOT a dig at you.)

I don't care what people think, as of now.
I am going to change myself, as of now.
I will do it.

Sixth Form.

I haven't posted a proper blog on here in... forever... Oh well.
Anyway, sixth form starts tomorrow! I don't know how I feel about it. I'm staying at my school for sixth form, so there's no big change but still... it's going to be different. I think I'm looking forward to it. I mean, if I work really hard I can do well. And the teachers treat you better. And I get a netbook. And I'll be doing classes I want to do. And I will never have to do PE!
I guess it'll be good. I'm going into it with an optimistic attitude (like I do with most things.)

Nostalgia

I'm currently watching The Nightmare Before Christmas. I love that film. I love children's films, actually. You know, the old Disney classics like Sleeping Beauty and The Lion King? I think the main reason why I love those kind of films is because it brings me back to my childhood. I both love and hate nostalgia. It makes you feel happy because you've remembered something, yet you also feel sad because it is only a distant memory. I probably think about the past too much.

I hate the nature of human beings.

No, really, I do.
If it wasn't for the selfishness of human beings in general then everything would be free, and there would be no money. This would be we could sit around in fields all day like hippies, because nobody would buy land. But oh no, humans are selfish and greedy, and everything's about money. Nothing's just for fun anymore.

Inception Review.

Well, I did plan on writing a review for the film 'Inception' for my grand total of two followers (I didn't make them follow me... I swear...) but seeing as I did not understand the film one bit, I can't. The girl was pretty, though.

Yeah but seriously, Inception is a really good film, even if it is very confusing. Definately worth going to see. The music, sound effects and acting is all top-notch.

Things that make me happy.

I felt that after that last moaning  ranting blog, I needed to make a happier one. :D

• Random acts of kindness.

• Nice people.

• Video games/Films/Books. I like escaping from this world into another. There's nothing like good old escapism.

• Music. I love how if I listen to happy music, it puts me into a good mood.

• Friends/Family. They're always there for you. (If they're decent friends/members of your family, anyway.)

• My dog. He's always there, always happy. He has loyalty that you cannot get from humans. He lives in the moment, and has no worries.

• Having fun. I love days that you look back on and go "Wow, that was great!"

• Having no worries. The best feeling in the world.

• Sunny days. Obvious reason.

• Rainy days. I like rainy days. Instead of complaining about it, I stay inside, snuggle up and watch a movie. If I have to go out then I don't mind, I like walking in the rain.

• Nature. It's incredibly beautiful, when you think about it.

• Optimists. They make me happy :)

• Food! OMNOMNOMNOM.

Things that make me sad.

Well, I thought I haven't done a ranting blog yet, so I might as well stuff several things that irritate me into one post.

• When people: "typ lik dizz." It makes you looks like an eleven year old, to be honest. I like abbreviation as much as the next guy, but abbreviation such as 'u' instead of 'you.' That's far more useful.

• People 'liking' statuses that shouldn't be 'liked' on Facebook. People use the 'like' button as a form of agreeing with someone, which is wrong.

• People with bad manners. No explanation needed.

• When I can't find things. It has to be the most annoying thing ever. And then someone comes along and says: 'Where did you last have it?' Well, if I knew that I wouldn't have lost it, would I?

• Disappointing film/book/TV show endings. Sometimes writers can just get so lazy.

• Celebrities. I mean, alot of celebrities are great, and they deserve to be recognized, like actors, authors, musicians etc. But celebrities that just sit around for seven weeks and do nothing that get fame? It's so annoying. (I'm probably just jealous.)

• Stereotypes/Labels. Especially when it comes to music. "Oh, you like Bring Me The Horizon? You MUST be a goth." Or, "Ew, you like N-Dubz?! You chav!" Err, no, I just have a diverse music taste.

• Chavs. Yeah, I know, hypocritical as I was just talking about stereotypes, right? But there really isn't any other words do describe a 'chav', really. I hate them. Why do they randomly vandalize/beat people up? It's pathetic. They all need to grow up.

• Attention seeking people. One word... UGHGHGHHGHG.

• People that complain about everything. You're probably thinking that this is hypocritical, but it's not. I don't really complain that much, and I do tend to look on the bright side of things. But people that moan about every little thing annoy me so much. Take my Dad, for example (I do love my Dad, but I'm just using him as an example). We were waiting to cross the road, and there was alot of traffic. He stood there complaining about it, and going 'Ugh, this is going to take ages to cross. Oh great more cars are coming.' Why?! We didn't have to be anywhere at any time, so we could have just stood there and chatted or something. I just really do not get people that are pessimistic.

Well, that's my rant over.

Four posts in one day. Impressive, if I may say so myself. Which I have. So saying that was kind of pointless, really.

It's odd how in my previous blogs I struggled about what to write. Now I can't stop writing. Anyway, onto the point of this blog...

Me and my friend Elinor are writing a book together. I actually love it. It is so much fun. It's just that in life there is normally always something bothering you, nibbling away at the back of your mind. But on the other hand, there's also some amazing, incredible things going on, and for me, this one of those 'incredible moments'. I know how to appreciate things in life (or at least, I hope I do,) and this is definately something to appreciate. It isn't stressful or anything, it's just pure fun. It's just a nice thing that I'm doing with one of my best friends, and a thing that I'll probably always remember. Elinor, if you're reading this, thanks for writing this book with me. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal from outsiders, but, I'm really, really enjoying it, and it's taking my mind of some of the crap that's going on in my life.

Friendships.

I love friends that instantly cheer you up.

Lately, I've been feeling as though I've been drifting away from some friends. But more recently, I've been feeling slightly closer to other people. These other people are amazing.

Life.

When I was in holiday in Turkey the other week, my Grandad said something to me that has stuck:
"In life you don't get a rehearsal."

This is very, very true. (Unless you are a theatre performer. Heh, I'm joking, of course.) It made me think about life. I mean, you have to take oppurtunities in life to get anywhere, and more often than not, this is a scary thing to do. You have to live life to the full, and appreciate everything that you have.

I really am going to try and stick with this positive outlook on life. I have tried before, but evidently not hard enough.  Life really is too short, and, at the end of the day, worrying doesn't solve anything.

When you are a child (or even animals live this way..) you have no worries, everything is fun and you live in the moment. What a fantastic way of life.

Wow, what a deep blog post. I feel the need to talk about something less-mature now...
OMGGG THERES TWO PIGEONS ON THE ROOF.
There, now I feel better.

Hello there.

This is my 3403474th blogger acount. Perhaps that was a slight over exaggeration, but still, I have made several blogs, got bored, and started afresh. But this one will be here to stay, honest.
