Sup? Long time no... blog?

So I should have really gotten back to blogging a while ago. Pretty much when I got Graham's 3 stick for internet.
But that accidental break from using the internet just ruined it for me honestly... Really annoying and poor timing.


I got my JSA on Tuesday and finally got my phone sorted, so I'm back on my phone's internet. It's good to have that back.


Over the weekend I was at home as I said before. Surprisingly I didn't get annoyed at all by my dad, brother or Carol.
That made an interesting change.


Carol sewed a couple buttons back onto my blazer for me, she forgot the hole in my pocket though but I just stuck a couple safety pins in there.


I meant to make a Hot Chocolate Time vlog, but that meant I'd have to render the last one, (first one) which would take hours on my laptop still and my brother still hasn't returned my pen drive so I couldn't transfer the files.
I could have used my external hard drive, but for some reason the plug doesn't work anymore, so I have a 1tb hard drive, which I can no longer use!
Oh and also, I forgot the hot chocolate I had at the flat! Go me...


Totally forgot, I watch the latest Muppets film. With Jason Segel and various other celebrities appearing as themselves, Jack Black, Whoopie Golberg, Neil Patrick Harris.
I actually was like "NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!" when he came on. Spammed Chrisseh XD
But yeah, the film was like, so good. I've never really watched the muppets or anything, but the movie was just oh so cheesey in all the right ways, and the casual breaking the fourth wall, "boy, this will be a short film!" for instance. It's not quite breaking the fourth wall but still. It was brilliant and I loved that film.
Even the credits were hilarious, all thanks to "Mahna Mahna! Doo doooo doo do doo" XD


Watched an amazing video on Sunday though. And I think it's changed me.
Whether it's temporary or permanent, I don't know. I hope it's permanent though.


I watched Shaytards "One Take Sunday" even though it had editing in it! At the end of it, it had a slideshow of pictures of Shay from the start of his vlogs, three years ago, to sometime recently, probably his birthday on March 5th I think it was?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjvVSZ4xX34
For one, Rocktard is just freaking adorable in this, but for another, the first song of the montage is an important factor in this new feeling I have.


So the montage, as I said, Shay from three years ago, to around about now.
When it was in the third year, I was watching Shay lose weight, shave his beard, grow it back again and I just felt something click.
Shay has really been an important part of my life, as weird as that is to even be possible considering I'm simply watching a video.
I posted a comment on the video, it's only got 3 thumbs up so far XD.




I just want to say, Thank you Shay for letting us into your life. I can't believe I've been watching you for two whole years. Give or take a few days! That ending of the video was just so amazing to me and seeing your face after you lost the weight and shaved off beardtard (again), it made me realise just how much you've been in my life and what you mean to me. I see you as one of the best friends I've ever had. Love you Shay and the Shaytards

I don't care if that seems sad in a way, and also I've been watching for over two years. Watching the video again, I saw one of the captions when they were in Vegas for Shay's flash mob video.
So yeah, I've been watching Shay and his family for over two years, he's a part of my life regardless of anything.
He's an inspirational man.
So that video made something click in my head, and I also downloaded the first song form the montage, Shaytards Rap by TobySOAP.
Every time I listen to it I smile.
I've not felt sad or anything since I saw that video.

It's nice to not feel sad for a long time for once.
So I have a goal now, I want to go another week, feeling just as happy, if not happier. And if I can manage that week, I'll do it again and again and again. Weeks will turn into months, months into years. I don't want to be sad. I want to be happy, and as the title of the picture that was painted for Shay, which is also now my phone's wallpaper: Happiness is a choice.
This is actually inspiration for me to make a video about. It'll be more dramatised for instance, in the video, the main character suffers verbal and physical abuse. I've never really faced that from anyone. I have been in fights with bullies, but they aren't typical bullies. They're just degenerates who shouldn't be in a private school. And as for my parents, sure my mum used a wooden spoon to hit me or my brother, but that was only when we were bad, granted it was a bit over the topic, but sod it. That's the past, that's MY past and I don't care.

So now I'm sitting here, it's Thursday night and I've been TRYING to write scripts to send to Stevenson College.
I went to a group interview on Monday. It wasn't really a proper interview, they were just telling us about the media courses
I definitely know I want to do NQ Media Technology now and I want to go onto HND Audio Visual Technology.
I just wish I had taken more than a single unfinished script to show them. So that's why I've been trying to write more.
It's so hard for me for some reason, I usually come up with video ideas quite easily but for some reason, I just couldn't...
So I've just expanded on a few ideas I've had before and turned them into scripts. So far I've written and finished scripts for two videos, I've started a script for a comic series, I could do animation, but I'd want the characters voiced by their real life selves, and it'd just be easier if it were a comic. And the fourth is this thing about Zombies. Not a typical Zombie film mind you. It's from the point of view of the zombies really. But I won't go into too much detail. Don't want any sneaky sods stealing my crappy ideas! XD
I also felt bad about not having a video to show the people at Stevenson. I do have videos on YouTube which took a fair amount of editing, but they were mostly based in RuneScape and I just didn't like the idea of only having those videos to show. That didn't stop me telling them they were there. I just didn't display anything. They can look themselves.
I also need to get a referee sheet filled in by someone.
But honestly, I don't think I need to put in so much effort. I'm sure I'll get a place on the course, but just for good measure, I'm going to show them what I'm capable of.
So I want to try and write a "serious" script, even though that's hard really... The "Happiness is a choice" thing is pretty close but I was wanting something more moody really. But that's just me. I may be wrong, it may be enough. I don't know.
But I also want to do a comedy video as well. I can cover both grounds so why not show that too. What video to do though, I don't know. I have a few comedy videos which I could do. But they require a fair bit of prop making and I can't really afford that and I doubt I could film in a store for one of them.
I suppose I could do this other idea I have, "I love you... Tango" or what ever other drink the character prefers.
Anyway, I want to write some more scripts, so I will, I will send them to who ever at Stevenson and then I shall make a couple videos and send the links.
I will also sort my referee, I think I have the email of the careers advisor at SMC although I may require someone else. I'll have to call and find out. Although, thinking about it... I think a careers advisor would be fine for this, this is the career path I truly want to go down.

So that's been my week more or less!
Was at Dan's last night, he got in trouble with his parents and he could have avoided it easily.
For some reason, they were under the impression that he had an exam the next day (This was Wednesday to Thursday) But he didn't. So his mum kept coming in and telling him to switch off everything and go to sleep. We weren't making noise so it's not like we woke her up. It was weird. She switched off the internet, buuut us being as resourceful as we are, we switched on our tethering on our phones, and we had internet again!
And then his dad came in, he apologised to me that I had to hear them yelling at Dan pretty much.
He then went downstairs and turned off all the electricity in the house.
Granted, we were using laptops... They generally run off battery! But I had to stop playing Assassin's Creed Revelations, which is fuuuuuuuuuun by the way!

But yeah, Dan could have avoided all this if he had just told them, he didn't actually have an exam the next day! But oh well. It's his choice. As poor as it was honestly!

So I think that's me for now. Think I'll go make a hot chocolate in a moment. Got some chocolate digestive biscuits to dunk in it :3
Also have a Simpsons episode to TRY and watch. May watch some other stuff too. But I have to write these scripts and send them off soon.

And just a little note for myself:
Goals: 
-Make a blog post, every day/night for the next month
-Stay happy for a week
-Write a couple more scripts
-Email the careers advisor at SMC for a reference
-Get a copy of SQA results
-Email Stevenson the scripts, SQA results and referee form as soon as possibubble!

Bye bye everyone! Much love to all!
<3
May be back later =] Depends!
