Life and Times of Adam: 2011

Branching out

Posted by Adam at 20:31

Oh, hey there blog, didn't expect to see you there...Uhhh, how're you? Good, yeah I'm good thanks too. How's life? Good to hear it, no, things are good for me too...My new gir- you mean twitter? No, it's not like that, it's just fun you know?

Oh come on, you know why we had to split. I just found it hard to communicate with you like i used to, we weren't new and popular anymore, it was just you and I and I just couldn't talk to you like I used to be able to. I don't have that problem with twitter because I don't feel forced to write multiple paragraphs with each post, it's just short and sweet, like mini blogging!

I think we should still be friends though. Look, I even wrote something for you, check it out:

I went to Edgware to see a friend the other day and while on the bus I realised how quickly my life was expanding. No seriously, hear me out here.

I'll skip being born and everything and go straight to when I was 8 and moved to Abbots Langley, since this is where I am now and is considered to be central to this expansion of life or whatever we're calling it. First up is primary education, in Leavesden. That's pretty much where it stayed, I don't remember visiting anyone in town or anything, it was all based at other people's houses.

Then I went to secondary school, I won't mention the name or anything bad about it since my blog is already banned there for 'hate speech'. So the initial shift was from Leavesden to Garston, nothing entirely new since my grandparents lived there, but my social activity quickly expanded out to areas such as Meriden and Rushden, I still wasn't really travelling into central watford or out of watford altogether until my GCSE years. I started going into the town centres of both Hemel and Watford. See how the areas are slowly increasing in size in this suddenly extremely boring post? It's crazy.

Anyway, then I went to Harrow. Now, most people there seem to live in either Edgware or Wembley, meaning I have to travel to Edgware or Harrow to meet any of them (which by the way is not a problem with me). But where's next? Will the areas increase to the size of cities, countries, continents? It seems pretty exciting from where I'm standing.

Sorry blog, I tried my best.

Whoa, what happened there then?!

Posted by Adam at 18:22

See that big gap in the archive down the side? What happened there then?!

Basically, things are all good. Repetitive, yes. Boring to others, most probably, but I'm content with it all, so that's what matters, right?

In the past couple of months I have certainly had my fair share of adventures, Pantomimes, visiting a friend's family and sometimes just driting around london! Not exactly skiing down the side of a volcano but it's still adventure. I have pics, therefore they happened. More of those later. However, we all know that my life at present is all about education, and when you're in college 20 hours a week, if you aren't happy with education, you're not really happy with life. That was me last year, but now I'm genuinely enjoying it all. Don't worry, I wont force the joys of calculus upon you, just the fact that I like it.

So yeah, life's alright. I'm probably going to talk about more serious less-adam related things at some point, or films, as long as things on here aren't "hey, look at my life!"

You know, stuff like that.

This is you, reacting to my blog post.

Bloggy.

Posted by Adam at 14:13

Some people would be interested to know that my blog is SO VERY FUCKING NEARLY TWO YEARS OLD!

Sadly you aren't those people, damn I wish I was more popular on the interwebs!

Yesterday was Thursday (Thursday). Today it is Friday.

Posted by Adam at 11:51

Today was kinda cool, so I'll tell you about it. Just kidding, you should probably just skip through to the bit with pictures.

THE BORING BACK STORY PART:

Basically, a girl I met recently when attending Ultra Culture's last event (WHICH WAS AWESOME) had a spare ticket for Milton Jones' stand-up show (no, I didn't know who he was at the time either). I was interested, having never been to a stand-up show before, so got in there quick like and nabbed the spot.

WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY:

It turned out that the tickets for said stand-up gig were in THE SECOND ROW.

Really unclear picture of how close I was to the stage!

Equally unclear picture of the venue.

Basically, I just wanted to gloat about how close I was to the stage...

Also, I saw Nicole prior to this, which was really cool. We bitched about the education system and I learned that cappuccino cups are the most awkward things to hold (or really easy to hold if you want to destroy your hands). I thought she deserved a mention because of this, 'cause she's cool.

Second also, Milton Jones and his support act who's name I forget (Googled: James Acaster) were extremely good, I recommend them to any and all who will inevitably ask regardless of what I say here, so what's the point in telling you here? Honestly...

But seriously, SECOND ROW!

P.S. Afterwards I bumped into Karolina at Euston station which was REALLY CREEPY.

P.P.S. I understand that my blogging style has become awful. I apologise.

Twi-live part three!

Posted by Adam at 21:06

WARNING: This picture is likely to be more exciting than the entirety of the film I'm watching

Fucking finally, we get to Eclipse! You know how it goes, I start out trying to make artistic comments and inevitably deviate to Alice's legs.

21:25 Okay, blueberry ice cream, check. Laptop, check. Ready to go!

21:26 RAINING, RUNNING, SHOUTING! SO MUCH ACTION!

21:27 SCREAMING, SQUIRMING, oh...title screen.

21:28 She just said she had an english friend! Fuck you Edward, you ruined an anecdote which probably wouldn't have affected the plot at all but would have enchanced character depth. My ice cream is completely frozen, this is depressing.

This picture breaks all Twilight canon because they are smiling.

21:30 but Bella, you can get married and be home for 4pm!

21:34 You know, all Edward has done is prevent the development of the plot, he's a terrible character.

21:37 mother broke the continuation of my timings, so i'm going by GMT now...

21:39 Now the dad guy has gotten all angsty and awkward, now that makes just about everyone in the film.

21:40 Intense is not the word i would use to describe the atmosphere of this film...

21:41 OH WOW, YOU GAVE YOUR DAUGHTER A BOX! Oh, it's a quilt, well that showed me...

21:43 RUNNING! BLURRY! CHASING! WOMAN! WOODS! JUMPING! WOLVING! SLOW MOTION! STAND OFFING! Wow, quality action scene.

21:45 My mum just referred to Jacob as "eye-candy", oh yeah, some plot developing facts were revealed.

21:47 They're like frat boys, but wolves. Is that what this story is, frat boys versus rich kids?!

21:55 "this isn't about war, this is about my safety" how fucking selfish do you need to be?!

21:57 Oh god, not more fucking back story. Where did Alice go?

21:58 blah blah spirits blah blah warriors blah blah tribe blah blah fighing. What a waste of time.

22:03 an army of bad vampires, to go alongside the army of werewolves, and the army of leadery vampires, Stephanie meyer needs to sort it out.

22:07 "I'm in love with you Bella, blah blah" I swear, who said Alice was in this film a lot?

22:08 there's a lesson in life, don't punch werewolves.

22:10 "bella I envy you" FOR FUCK'S SAKE, IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT BELLA IN THIS FILM, YET SHE'S STILL ONE OF THE MOST SHALLOW MAIN CHARACTERS EVER!

22:12 MORE FUCKING BACKSTORY! ARGHHH! OH LOOK! I ACTUALLY KILLED EVERYONE, THIS IS SO FUCKING ESSENTIAL TO THE STORY! WHAT ABOUT YOUR ENGLISH FRIEND BELLA? WHAT ABOUT THEM?!

22:16 Anna, I don't know how to put this, I don't think I love you anymore...it's not you, it's Alice!

22:17 Unidentifiable pop song, followed by Unidentifiable Muse track. Followed by Jacob.

22:18 ALICE IS THERE!

See, with that bow, it's like she's all wrapped up for me...

22:20 Wolves and Vampires team up against bad vampires, this is getting stupidly predictable.

22:22 How come Edward speaks wolf? It's so obvious that training will just result in a standoff between Edward and Jacob.

22:25 but it didn't, how useless. Oh look, moreeeee back story!

Useless picture from some blog to accompany equally useless back story.

22:28 How come vampires speed up whenever they do something bad?

22:34 Losing...interest...in...film...Alice...not around...enough. Oh there she is!

22:37 NO! HAVE "THE TALK"! PLEASE! I NEED TO KNOW THIS! Why does this film avoid EVERYTHING?!

22:39 Just TRY to fuck her, no one else wants to...

22:41 No, I didn't think so.

22:44 A marriage! I love weddings!

22:49 going camping with your boyfriend and the guy who loves you, sounds like a good rom com.

22:51 not a very funny rom com...

22:53 the two guys are having a rational conversation! Edward sounds sounds ridiculously british when his voice is lowered. Like some crumpet with that humble pie?

22:54 THIS JUST IN! THERE ARE NO WORDS! source: edward cullen.

22:56 since when did Bella sound so manly? A manly slut.

22:59 cheating IN FRONT of your fiancé? Awkward...

23:06 Climax fight...yawn. some people fought some people.

Quick, everyone! Stereotypcial vampire poses!

23:08 Oh it's the italians. Jacob's hurt but Doctor vampire's on the case.

23:10 Twilight, the touching story of how a bratty girl managed to bring frat boys and rich kids together, then took her boyfriend on a camping trip with the boy she knew loved her.

23:14 There's a 50/50 chance he wants you back, but there's only a 10% chance of that.

23:16 MORE BREAKING NEWS! GIRL WHO HANGS OUT WITH VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES ADMITS SHE'S NOT NORMAL!

23:17 hahaha, how foolish edward, it was never "all about you", it's all about Bella. Always.

23:18 okay, it's over...that was much harder than sitting through the last one...

23:19 voices are raised in argument with mother.

23:20 Okay, fucking conclusions, let's go:

That was the worst of them all, because it was well made but horribly written, at least the first one was horribly made and gave me something to laugh at. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it through the next film.
Now I have to wade through google images until i find some pictures suitable to post on this thing.
People told me there would be more Alice in the film, they lied.
I'm not very good at making conclusions.

Whatever, the point is this stuff isn't good for my health. Maybe I should do a music thing instead.

Have your stupid twi-live blog.

P bloody S.

I'd also like to add to my previous post that I had a draft post lined up from a month or so ago that said "there is a time for blogging and a time for sorting your life out". I'm now predicted an A in further maths, getting 81% and 84% in my S1 and C2 mocks respectively. I'm still working on the sciences but hey, I guess I'm halfway there.

There you have it, I actually made some progress with my education, be proud of me.

An apology.

Posted by Adam at 01:02

I haven't blogged in two months, yes. I have neglected you all, Yes. You want me to explain why, probably not. Tough.

There are different types of blogs, blogs that review, blogs that inform, blogs with no particular reason. I kind of like to believe that my blog was one of those journey blogs. It was kind of a journey in it's development alone, from average-that-wont-last to not-so-average-that-probably-could-last-a-few-more-months. But you can't really write a journey blog when your life isn't moving far. Obviously it's going some places, I could tell you plenty about calculus, fibre optics and enzymes but we all know that you don't want me to tell you and I don't want to write it. Therefore we are at a stand still.

However, I have done things recently. I went to Nottingham, I lost at golf and tonight I went to Ultra Culture Cinema #6. These are all stories I may choose to document another time. No promises though.

So yeah, sorry and stuff.

Death is easy, peaceful. Watching Twilight is so, so much harder.

Posted by Adam at 21:05

Not much I can say to justify watching New Moon, after the disaster that was Twilight. Let's just call it a dangerous desire to complete what I've started. Dangerous.

00:00 I'm not exactly comfortable, but let's begin anyway...It's not like I have much choice.

00:03 She's concerned about having grey hair?! Oh hey Anna.

00:05 Kissing, gay. Ugh, maybe I need to actually say some proper media stuff.

00:07 You know I think Alice's legs turned up before she did...no problems here. Anyway, conversation seems to flow a little better this time around, and the shots seem slightly less ambitious. Might make up for the terrible storyline.

0:10 The pale kid recites Shakespeare, how romantic.

0:12 Effects are still kinda crap though, oh well. Oh hey Alice ^.^

0:13 Spoilt brat tries hard not to enjoy her birthday. Still loves a truck.

00:15 Oh cool, we're actually getting some character depth this time! Not from anyone REALLY important though, that would be stupid. However, it's a character I kinda like, so I'll let it slide.

0:18 They can't even kiss! Ahah! Beautiful.

0:19 Oh hey anna. Pale kid sneaks into his girlfriend's bedroom.

0:20 Oh god, the woods, now something emotional is going to happen...

0:25 What a dick. I like how they're not showing the speedy effects anymore, because they were shite. Yet haven't bothered to replace them...

0:27 It's suddenly October. Spoilt bitch's hair has gone dark. NOW IT'S NOVEMBER! LIKE MAGIC! The camera work is so much better.

0:28 Dear Alice, please bring your legs back into this film.

0:29 Wow, dad was quick to let go too. Good job.

0:31 Hey Anna, you're being kinda annoying. Where's Alice?

0:33 What kind of girl does this at all?! AND ANNA FUCKING WAITED FOR HER?!

0:35 Awkward conversation is back, Jacob is kind of annoying. Do girls seriously like him? Edward I kinda get, but not him.

0:37 Who are these geeks?!

0:38 Montage that almost flows.

0:44 Fuck off Edward, put your top back on Jacob! What is this fucking film?!

0:46 Facepunch, a film with punching faces. Stop being a bitch Anna! Where's Alice gone?!

0:47 Lucas Lee is probably starring in this film...Face punch, that is.

0:50 Thank you What'syourface! Taylor Lautner needs to fuck off. At least Edward can sport sunglasses!

0:53 Oh hey, he cut his hair.

0:56 Alice, please bring your legs back into this film.

0:57 What's this, appendix failure?!

0:59 A black guy in the woods? Horrible stereotyping.

1:00 AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! THE WOLF LOOKS LIKE A PUPPET! AHAHAHAH! Perfect for an hour in.

1:03 Why do guys keep coming into her room like this?!

1:05 WHY HAVEN'T YOU FUCKING FIGURED IT OUT YET?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS FILM! ANNA'S A BITCH NOW, BELLA STOPPED BITING HER LIP AND ALICE HAS GONE! THIS IS JUST ABOUT MEN TAKING THEIR TOPS OFF NOW!

1:07 Maybe if you weren't so stupid wolfy wouldn't be getting so fucked up right now.

1:08 I think this is a statement that there are four topless men in a room and a woman with a horribly scarred face. A statement against Alice's legs.

1:12 Kiss her you fool, obvious flirting alert! Actually don't, I still don't like you.

1:15 Fight! Or run, whatever.

1:17 So they swapped bad effects for bad animation, okay. Sure.

1:19 LET HER DIE, SAVE ME FROM THIS!

1:21 I just realised how hard the guys have to think while talking in this film. Furrowed brows everywhere.

1:23 ALICE! I've missed you!

1:25 Don't go...

1:29 Jacob, fuck off, can't you see Alice is here now?! Virgin plug, also, there was a Burger King plug too, and this animation is awful.

1:34 Run through the fountain, take off some clothes while you're at it.

1:35 She looks really cross eyed in this scene, beautiful.

1:36 horrible kissing.

1:38 Elevator music joke?

1:43 Okay, so she's immune, create a vaccine, maybe?

1:49 I hate the way that new antagonists are introduced so close to the end of a film, we already know there are going to be at least two more.

1:52: Is this the bit where people formed teams for these guys? Is there a team for Alice?

1:54 LIP BITE! WOOOOOO!

1:57 I'm glad that's over. I have to admit, it was better than the first film in terms of visuals, for the most part anyway, camera work was better and stuff, still not impressed with the whole turnaround with women being overshadowed with topless men. But hey, whatever. Time to look up whoever played Alice on the IMDB.

Team Alice <3.

A live(ish) movie Review

Posted by Adam at 20:09

Okay, I'm sitting here, and apparently I'm about to watch Twilight the whole way through for the first time. Ugh. Oh hey, maybe you should watch while reading this, it'll be like watching with me so I never have to do it again. Enjoy my breakdown!

Okay, so we're in the cafeteria like 11 mins in, let's go.

11 mins, so far, a girl is getting swarmed and should be perfectly fucking happy, but is all "ugh, I'm depressed, I wanna hang out with the pale kids."

Oh look, Anna Kendrick, she's kinda hot.

Lol a fan joke, way to lighten the mood in the weird town. And Edward Cullen has wings, like an angel, give me a fucking break.

00:14 What?! Blue and orange together?! What are they trying to make out this school to be?!

Everyone knows her, I get the fucking point, this broken tension is already pissing me off!

Oh, okay, she likes her mum, that's something at least. Spoilt brat. Oh, nevermind. More avoidance.

00:15 Internal monologues! This is amazing...Wait, so the pale kids drive trucks and the popularish kids who like her are hippies? What the fuck is this?

00:16 Oh cool, some action, some motherfucker's being killed by...things. WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THAT POLICE CAR?! THIS ISN'T FUCKING METROPOLIS?

00:17 She slipped on ice, lol. Oh wait, I should concentrate on media things.

Think, you did media lessons.

00:18 Sexy lip bite...oh hey the pale kid's back, he's called Edward or something. OH HEY MITOSIS, I KNOW ABOUT THAT SHIT! Oh never mind, they're talking like awkward freaks again...another sexy lip bite.

Oh yeah.

00:20 Shouting at television, arguing with mother who demands to see this film. Not sure how much longer I can take.

00:21 "It's metaphase, wanna check it?" He's pulled.

00:22 WALK AWAY IN ANGST YOU FREAK!

00:23 WHY DID YOU SAVE HER? YOU COULD HAVE DONE THE WORLD A FAVOUR AND ENDED THIS THING IN 23 MINS YOU FREAK!

I think I'm already showing signs of a breakdown.

00:24 This is the coolest doctor I've ever seen, I want to be like that. Things are kinda bluey, that probably signifies that the town is...underwater? NO, IT'S DEPRESSING! Scored.

Oh god, how much more awkward conversation do we have to take? Is this supposed to be some kind of sexual tension or fucking what?! Is this appealing to teen girls in America?! I think...I think I'm gonna cry

00:27 She'd be pretty sexy if she wasn't such a spoilt little bitch.

00:28 A garden centre, this signifies something. He said hi, what an angsty freak.

00:29 The cat turned the television over! Freedom!!! Damn, mum turned it over.

00:30 Yeah Edward, why didn't you let the van crush her and save us from this horror? You're the real fucking antagonist here. OH BURN, YOUR DAD HE SAID YOUR MUM'S HAPPY WITHOUT YOU!

00:31 "Your mood swings are giving me whiplash" Pretty good for a bitch. LOOK AT HIS FANGS YOU STUPID COW! HE'S A FUCKING VAMPIRE. Oh cool, flags on the wall of places I've never heard of, probably signifies that they're in the middle of nowhere, or something.

00:33 Anna Kendrick in a wetsuit. I'd zip her up. The hippies are dissing the pale kids, maybe they should have a dance off.

00:34 Jacob is talking about wolves, what a freak. Cullens are vampires, word. Treaty, blah blah blah, history that I don't care about and doesn't really make any impact on the film.

00:35 everything's so drab, some boat motherfucker's about to die. Not like he's got anything to do with the story at all. Bad blurring effects are perfect for werewolves!

00:37 google plug! Good job with your shameless self promotion. Oh hai Anna.

00:38 shaky camera, like homevideo! Wait, the shop is across the road from the school?! HAVE THEY NOT FUCKING HEARD OF THE INTERNET?!

00:40 Stalkers, is that Jack Black? Car storms in, pale kid gets out. He can do a handbreak turn, what a hero!

00:41 Is he crying? Oh, hey Anna.

00:42 Mother asks if this film gets better at any point. We could be watching The Boat that Rocked right now, with Bill Nighy

00:43 More awkward conversation. Just kill me now. HE'S A FUCKING STALKER, FIGURE IT OUT! BITE YOUR LIP SOME MORE! Now he can read minds, because all vampires can do that. He can't read her mind, because there's nothing there to read. Can we end the film yet?

00:45 Sweeping car shot! Because if you move a camera in the opposite direction to the car, you don't have to drive as fast!

00:46 Flashback, it was Edward all along!

00:48 Wait, why did she buy that book, are there no libraries where they are? And she looked on the internet to get a book to find more things to look up on the internet? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS FUCKING NARRATIVE?! Seriously.

00:49 Honestly, I can't look at him without thinking of Jedward.

00:50 What do you fucking mean he doesn't go out in the sunlight?! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE STANDING IN?!

00:51 that was the worst rotating shot thing I've ever seen. Please kill her.

00:53 Oh hey, suddenly he's sparkling, what a twist. Cue more angst and shite effects to prove he's a vampire.

00:54 PLEASE KILL HER! PLEASE! Pale kid compares blood to heroin.

00:55 Will you just kill her and/or have sex with her already? Preferably the first, she hasn't bitten her lip in ages.

00:56 Ugh, I need to learn some media so I can complain about this awful camera work while naming it.

00:57 Maybe he should just wipe the glitter off of his face. New internal monologue, like this is a detective movie where you haven't figured it all out already.

00:58 Lip bite! He actually looks alright in those sunglasses.

00:59 More history, with bad sepia effects.

01:00 I can't actually believe I've made it this far. He spoke about killing her, awkward. And the killings were actually done by other vampires, those bastards.

01:03 Oh of course, all vampires are ludicrously rich, how silly of me.

01:05 Family troubles, just like a good american sitcom.

01:07 he took you to his room, he wants to sex you. Talking about music, like a regular couple, how cute. Bite your lip!

01:08 LOL WHAT AMAZING WIRE EFFECTS!

01:10, please can we turn this off...He can play the piano too, who doesn't love this guy. That shot was better than Ghost.

01:12 Maybe she should take meat, if you know what I mean. I'm actually beginning to fear how anticlimatic this film is going to be.

01:13 Mum's back, I forgot about her, never mind, the pale kid interupted her.

01:14 He likes watching her sleep, I've been waiting for that line for 74 minutes, what a freak.

01:15 Can they kiss? Tune in next week to find out! To be honest, I'd rather she bit her own lip. And I'd rather he killed her.

01:16 bed montage! Vampire ponders how human sleeps! How cute!

01:17 She didn't even open the door to let him in! Argh! Fuck this film.

Oh and the green stuff was pepper spray.

01:18 Baseball...and Muse?! Hey that Alice girl is pretty sexy. Lift those legs girl! The baseball idea is forgiven.

Easily my favourite shot in the entire film.

01:20 the bad guys arrive with a guitar riff in tow! Obviously they walk in slow motion too.

01:22 Oh, nevermind, they just wanted to play baseball, hooray!

01:23 Quick! Everyone stand like stereotypical vampires! Alice, put your legs out some more!

01:24 He's gonna kill someone and it isn't her, for fuck's sake.

01:26 come on dad, here's your chance to ditch the spoilt bitch

01:27 I guess at least their conversation is less awkward...He seems more chilled, lol get it?

01:28 The bad vampire is actually good, it's just his homeboy who's evil.

01:29 More family tension, more of Alice's legs. Stop whining and bite your lip!

01:32 The super detective vampire finally figured it out. And he kidnapped mum, nice one.

BREAK TIME: Fucking finally, this is painful. I need to check how long this post is. Kinda long, oh well. I should add some pictures of Anna or the lip bite or Alice's legs.

01:34 Maybe they're gonna have a dance off. This doesn't look much like a dance studio.

01:36 Yeah that's right, beat her up some, but let the pale kid kill her. Speak of the devil.

01:37 This fight scene is awful, I'm kind of expecting some badly dubbed Dialogue.

01:38 Alice is back, with those legs.

01:39 Moral choices! More of Alice's legs.

01:40 Please kill her.

Death is peaceful, easy. Life is harder. It'd stop me having to endure this film any further.

01:42 She wants to live in the place she's hated for the entire film, the moral turn around! Tying loose fucking ends.

01:43 I can't carry on, why does this continue!

I guess we're close to the end now anyway...Thank god.

01:44 Bad sweeping shot.

Jedward and the 70s detective, could be a sitcom. Alice's legs would look better in that dress, maybe I'd compromise if she bit her lip.

01:45 Oh god, prom!

01:47 She isn't limping very well...Oh, hey Anna.

01:48 Wait, is she wearing converses with that dress?! What the fuck. Oh god, more moral things.

01:49 KILL HER! For fuck's sake.

01:51 Please let this be the closing monologue...Oh look, a stalker! Why did it go black and white?! Oh thank god, credits.

01:53 Oh cool, we get to see the actors who played minor characters too!

Well, I actually made it! I don't really think I need a closing statement, other than the fact that New Moon is showing on Friday. So I guess I'll inevitably have to carry on then...

(Please, please kill me).

This is going to be my first proper blog post in a long time. A post where I actually talk about myself and not a post about what I've been doing, only to get lazy halfway through and let my bad photography take over.

It's 2011, it kinda crept in, didn't it? no, okay. I was ill anyway, it must have been 2010's bitter revenge for me letting go so quickly. It's okay though, because 2011 has kindly nursed me back to health. It's a scary thing though, the new year, because you're almost forced to give yourself a peer review and come up with solutions. I wasn't really forced.

In the past year, it's safe to say that I've changed a hell of a lot, I had to to make it. In the past few months alone I've had to change to accomodate college into my life, which is really hard. I mean, I've gone from being the slacker back at Francis Combe to being the super geek at Harrow College, I'm the one to beat (supposedly). That doesn't mean I'm working to my standards though, I need to be doing so much better if I want to carry on succeeding. This is why I'm up now, writing on a Sunday morning so you can be reading this on a Monday afternoon. There you go, those are resolutions one and two (which I'm making up while writing this post). Sleeping pattern and general organization. Three days in and they aren't going too badly, it has to stay on track though, I have an exam on the 10th and another on the 19th, and I don't think retakes are on the house this year.

I know that more changes are in order, some essential, some not so much. For the latter, I'm going to delete most of the music off of my phone, i don't listen to 90% of it, and the playtime for all of it is something stupid like 73 hours. Start watching BBC news, stupid little things like that. Yes, it's boring, I know, but when you step back from life that's what you get. I mean, if you snowboard down the side of a mountain through explosions and gunfire every morning, you'd get bored of it eventually, right? Besides, I don't find it boring, it's new and exciting!

...yeah. It's not like I'll change much of what I am, just how I act when it comes to responsible things, so you probably wont see any of this. It's not like my life is riddled with responsibility anyway, it's just responsibility for myself, maybe picking up things that need to be done around the house, stuff like that. I'm going to have to do it all some day anyway, so why not start now?

Either way, it's time to embrace 2011.

My top 20 songs of 2010 (according to my phone)

When I started my blog waaaaaay back in the last decade, I promised some things. I doubt I've kept any of those promises, I can't be bothered to check. However, I do remember promising lists, I've got an amazing one for you today (see blog post title for details).

This is the "most played" playlist on my phone, which I've had since around January 2010 time (perfect!). You'll notice a couple of bands completely dominate it, but this is probably the fairest list you're going to get from me all year.
