What's on my mind..?

Not a whole lot... And that happens a lot... I want to try and do a blog once a day if I can. If I miss a day, meh... But I'll try not to miss 2 days or more. Anyway!
So I'm in the flat once more... Bored out of my mind.
I did the washing up and then Zoe and Graham get here with their friend, I keep forgetting her name... Zoe decides to make mac & cheese for her and their friend. Makes a nice mess of stuff which I have to wash because Graham has gone back home to Dunfermline for the weekend and I'm not about to leave stuff for when he's back...
Anyhoo, They then go out ice skating, Graham asks if I want to come, I can't because I lack money and I doubt I'd have much fun anyway. Graham is my only friend out of those who were going, the others either don't really know me or don't like me much.
So I stick on When The Kids Go To Sleep, Shaycarl and Katielette's podcast, which I was a few shows behind on.
For one, they had a guest on an episode, Omar! He's a fun guy, he apparently IS KassemG's brother as well. Unless Shay be trolling...
But they were talking about Maker Studios, the company Shay, KassemG and a couple others I think? set up a long time ago. It's doing so well. And I've thought about it before, but if I had the subscriber base and money. I'd love to talk to the makers of Maker Studios about starting up a UK based Maker Studios. They're based in California.
There are quite a few well known UK YouTubers. Charlieissocoollike being the obvious and only one to some... But there's the guys behind Eddsworld, Edd, Tom and Matt. Mainly Edd behind that though. The guys behind Hat Films, I've forgotten their actual names so I'll use their game names, DJH3Max, Trottimus and Alsmithy. I myself don't know about many UK based youtubers. Most I'm aware of seem to be game or cartoon/animation related.
But still, if OssyVlogs took off in my new, multiple direction, and The DaS Show with the game news and such. It'd be pretty awesome to have a UK Maker Studio. Plus perhaps people like Shay or Kassem may consider coming to the UK to be in videos and so on.
And yeah... that's all that's on my mind really...
Other than that, I'm still getting depressed easily about multiple things...  Usual stuff like being single being the main cause of it all really, but then there's also, I'm essentially sleeping on the floor every night in a cold flat. There's no insulation and so the heating suuucks, I'm having to live off £50 and I can't manage that because I want so much and don't tend to think before doing... blahblahblah...
I cannot wait till I get a good enough job to earn plenty, so that I can get a flat with a few others, at least 3 others. Do a part time job while I do my new course at Stevenson College.
It's taken a while really but I've worked out, I think, that Film production is really my thing. Making videos, writing scripts, filming, editing, working with sound and so on. So I've looked at courses and Stevenson offers the best course for me to do to work out 100% where I'm headed and then I might be able to go to Uni for the next few years or what ever.
It's NQ Media Technology. What I'd be doing in the course would be, Video Production, Camera Operation, Editing, Sound Multimedia, Animation, Photography and Research and Project Management.
It's definitely something that suits me but where it'll take me, I don't know... That course can lead into HNC/D Audio Visual Technology which seems right from what Graham told me when he did it. And he didn't like it because it was that. The other option was HNC/D Creative Industries: Television.
I do actually have an issue with Stevenson being a bit fail on their website. Their application forms are written only at the moment, you can't apply online yet till Feb 1st, WHY?! I don't want to be waiting for so long for goodness sake... But anyway, those applications are out of date. It's amusing. There's so much on the site that's out of date or just wrong... I tried to be clever and add /apply to the end of the URL on the course page and it took me to a sort of unfinished page.
Anyway... Yeah soo I actually sent an email about this to my dad, about the course, a possible job I applied for which is from March 5th to September 2nd which is pretty convenient. It'll end pretty much when college starts. And it'd be very useful to have a macbook and canon 550D for the course, I could afford it after that job because I'll have hopefully earned about £5,500. The Mac and camera would be around £2,500. But it'd be helpful to have more left over to live on so I asked my dad if he'd be willing to contribute to it. But he replied with something like:
That's a lot to think about! I'm in France right now, chat later!
He's so useless sometimes...


But I guess that's about it for me for now... more on my mind than I thought...
And just for future reference, I may have said it before but still, I have a feeling my mental instability or what ever the hell it is that's wrong with me, that basically puts me in a position where I can't help but be so depressed about being single and shit, that stuff is bound to come up quite a bit in future. You have been warned!


See you laters.
