Oh the Skins effect. How I love thee.

Allow me to explain. Skins is a very good television program. Therefore I must watch it. However, it is also a very depressing, so I watch it and become depressed. Which I like. Because sad is happy for deep people.

But it makes life seem so shit. Friends who love you then leave you, people who you love but they hurt you. And it’s life and these people and it fucks you up.

And the problem is that I used to love who I was, and everyone else loved him too, but I can’t remember who that was anymore. I can’t remember who anyone was anymore. And I can’t see who anyone is, and I don’t they can either. Because everyone has a glass heart nowadays.

So, I think we should start again. All of us, just start again.

I want to try it. So hi, I’m Jack. And you know nothing about me. Here’s the first thing you know about me, I want to dance, really well.

Tell me something about you. Tell me something true.

Jack.

Yes that’s right!! I hate words with accents because they are difficult to type!! Like Beyoncé because if you don’t put the accent in, it sounds like ‘Bee-yonce’, not the proper ‘Bee-ons-ay’, that we all know and love!

I’m mentioned this because it has recently occured to me since I became her official biggest fan in the world. With my grand total of two of her songs!! Also I had to type a piece of French coursework up the other day, so it occured to me then as well. And before you ask; no. You still can’t get me started about french!!!

Anyway, that’s an aside, I only have three things I really wanted to say, so I’ll start with the first one, because as a guy who enjoys logical progressions of cause to effect, its exactly the place that people like me would start!

So, parents evening! Was tonight. And it was actually ok! I got all my appointments apart from English but that may have been a blessing what with that story I told you about the other day. And all my teachers said nice stuff; dead friendly, hardworking, talented etc etc etc. Chemistry, German and Drama even added ‘quirky’ on top of those!! Oooft. In fact, my drama teacher told me that she’d ‘never taught anyone like Jack’ which was awesome!! I think…

Anyway, number 2… I forgot about… so I’ll move onto number 3! SKINS IS ON TONIGHT!!!! I’m practically covered in excitement jizz, although obviously I’m not, because that’d be weird…

And finally, number 2! This one is for all of you guys who read Blue Scarf Blogging as well as this one! Just to let you know, that Episode 5 is coming very soon!! I’ve just had a bit of writer’s block in the past few days, so I’ll try to get it finished as soon as possible!!

Right then, blog – fun,

Jack out.

So guess what happened today?

I came the closest I’ve ever been to achieving one of my several dreams.

Despite not being anyway near to achieving my dreams of making life into a musical, I still felt it was worth blogging about, plus Brooke and Emily practically begged me to. So this is the thing; today, on the bus, we had me, Pete, Brooke, Emily, Sam, and maybe Lucy as well? Well, the fact is that we all singing the same song, at pretty much the same timing, which was frappin’ awesome!! So yeah, that was the first step in my plan to turn the real world into a musical!

I honestly cannot imagine anything better than people randomly bursting into song every few seconds, and then everyone around them doing a perfectly choreographed dance without any teaching of said dance whatsoever! It’d make the world such a happy place!!

I mean, fair play, every now and then you’d come across a song which was rubbish but then again, in real life you come across people that you don’t like, and you just have to put up with them I suppose…

Anyway, today. I’ve had one of those rare times when I’m sort of blank. I haven’t really felt anything all day… well, no. That’s not true, but I’ve had a net gain of 0 postive feelings, and a net loss of 0 negative feelings. So in that respect I’ve felt blank all day…

Maybe not blank, more sort of… blustery; like I’ve been hurrying around all day and doing so much stuff that I haven’t had time to think about stuff… it’s tres weird…

Speaking of french, don’t get me started on French!! This next few months of French lessons are gonna be awkward, but I’m gonna do my best to act normal, so it should turn out fine hopefully!!

Also I’ve been saying ‘That’s what I’m talking about!!’ all the time. Yes, I’m literally that cool.

Also Lauren has just tagged me as Kurt in someone’s Glee picture on Facebook!! LOL!! BANKS!!!!! Hahaha love for the Banks!!

Anyway, that is all, continue with your lives blog readers!!

Jack out.

I’ve decided that my school needs it’s very own Glee club!

Just because I love singing and dancing. Admittedly I am shocking at both, however I still think it would be amazing!! I’m telling you this because A) It’s only fifteen minutes until Glee is on, and B) I’m in a very gleeful mood at the moment.

I’m in a gleeful mood because today has been good! Huzzah!!

Why has it been good you ask? Well, I made up with someone who I fell out with, and in french we had a competant teacher for the first time in 2 years after the whole class complained about our old one, then in Maths I had such a lovely chat with some people who I haven’t had a good chat with in AGES!!!

And then after school, from 3.15 to 6.30 I stayed behind to rehearse my drama piece!! Ok, so I was technically the only person in my group who bothered to stay, but it’s ok because I had an AMAZING time!!! Firstly, watched Chloe, Emma and Katie’s piece, no offence on them, but its gone from a total shambles to masterful, amazing drama in just a few short weeks and honestly it was SO amazing to watch!!

Then, because my group were missing I understudied for someone who wasn’t there with Lauren and Caitlin which was SO fun!! Those two make me laugh so much!! We discussed cocks, slutishness, and did our own version of that thing they do with the doors off Scooby Doo!!! It was hilarious!! And then I got asked to stand in for someone on the day of moderation because apparently the examiner will rip the person who’s part it really is to shreds, so I got asked to do it instead!! Which is awesome news, if a little daunting… haha!!!

Anyway, gotta go for Glee, but before I leave you, look at this!! Lauren made it for me!!

LOL!!! What a babe!!! I love my female friends!!!

GLEE!!!!!

Hello blog reading chums!

Today was good. I have once again been into Preston avec Caitlin car c’est tres amusant! Also because I needed to pick up some birthday presents… ANYWAY!! Back to the point!

So I get up far too early at like 9.45 or something ridiculous like that, and then go downstairs and leave pretty much straight away. So while I’m walking to the station I realised that I haven’t had any breakfast, so I proceeded to go to the shop where I purchased my breakfast; a packet of sour vimto chews, and 2 of those small packets of Haribo Starmix. Because I’m fucking hilarious like that.

Anyway, so I got to the railway station about ten minutes early, so I just sat on a bench and listened to the Sugarbabes cover of ‘Spiralling’ which is pretty fair… then who should rock up than Brooke and her friend Emily! So I had a brief chattering sesh with them and then the trained appeared from out of the mists of Rufford like a… well like a train I suppose…

Anyway, so it was PROPER packed on the train so I was forced to sit across from this fugly old man who kept ogling me!! It was kinda creepy, so I gazed dreamily at a hot guy who was a few seats away.

Then we got to Preston and I called Caitlin and we met up! Then she suggested that we should go to Subway. It was at that point that I realised that I was wearing almost exactly the same outfit as I had worn last week when we went to Subway, so I demanded to go shopping for a new top, so that’s what we did! I picked up a nice blue hoody from Topman which is pretty Indie so s’all good! I then changed out of my scarf-jacket-green hoody combination, into my t-shirt-blue indie hoody, as we strolled through Preston. Sorted.

Then we went to Subway and I had a heart stopping moment where I thought that Subway Man wasn’t working!! I was so upset, then he popped up from behind the counter and breathed a sigh of relief! And also a sigh of lust, because he’s ridiculously hot. So me and Cait got our subs and sat upstairs, and guess who came around to clean tables? That’s right. Subway man. So while he was doing this, Caitlin and me chatted loudly about my sexuality, so now he knows that I’m availiable, and I also listed traits that I like in guys which I made sure he exhibited all of. Genius. So now he knows I’m availiable and want him. And that is how to play the game of love! Huzzah!!

Anyway, after waiting in Subway for a while we left to go do more shopping and I bought an iPod dock, then we were supposed to meet up with Emma and Chloe but they were late. So we got bored and went to Boots. AND YASMIN REMEMBERED US!!!

Just to explain that; before Christmas me and Caitlin went into Boots to get some Christmas presents on the 3 for 2 offer, and for Caitlin’s secret santa! Anyway, we were served by this woman called Yasmin who asked us if we had a Boots Advantage card and we replied that we were only in Boots to buy cheap rubbish Christmas presents for secret santa, she retorted that not all the stuff in Boots is cheap and rubbish, we told her it actually was, and she ended up agreeing with us.

So anyway, we went back in today so I could buy some photo albums and YASMIN REMEMBERED US!! She was like ‘So you’re back again huh?’ and I was like ‘AS IF YOU REMEMBERED US!!’ and she was like ‘Its hard to forget you two!’ and we all lolled, and she once again told us to get a Boots Advantage card, and so we told her we’d seriously consider it… But being remembered by a cashier actually made my day!!

Then we DID meet Emma and Chloe, then we got bored left them, bought the final thing I needed, met them again, got bored, and walked back to the station. Then we realised we’d have to wait nearly an hour for the next train, so we went to Starbucks and Caitlin asked for a frappacino with ‘extra extra extra extra extra’ cream. And this really sweet (and hot) American server made her one. But the top of Starbucks cups is like rounded, and he put cream coming out of it. So it looked like a boob!! Made us lol!!

Anyway, so we sat in Starbucks and wrote a dreadful poem for our drama teacher’s birthday! Finally we got the train home and met Brooke and Emily again, along with Harriet and Sam, so it was quite nice, and then we talked incessantly about the people in WH Smith who always say ‘Can I interest you in a half price chocolate orange?’ and decided to make a sketch to mock them with.

Then fast forward to when I got home and Caitlin had left. I was about to set my new iPod dock up (I bought it in town, I forgot if I mentioned that…) and then I realised that I needed to move some stuff around to find a space for it. So after ten minutes or so everything was off the shelves in my room, and an hour later my whole bedroom arrangement had been changed. It’s better this way though! It’s more logical! All the magazines are together, all my board games are together, all my electronic stuff is together, all the random stuff is together, and I even have a little scent station on top of my shelves with all my shampoos, deodorants and other cleaning equipment! Rocks my flippin’ socks it does!!

After all that I finally managed to fit my iPod dock in and now I’m listening to a vast number of You Me at Six songs with it! AWESOME!!

Anyway, I feel like I’ve bored you all, but I had a good day and I wanted to tell everyone! So, with that done,

Jack out.

So, I cried before. Just a little bit. As usual it was over something really stupid, but I had this beautiful music playing so I just couldn’t help myself. In fact, I think you should hear it dear blog readers, so I’ll post it at the bottom of this blog.

Anyway, don’t worry about me! I’m fine now! Nothing a few hours on Zoo Tycoon 2 can’t fix methinks! Hahaha!!

By the way, I’m just wondering because some of my blog readers on WordPress are a bit older than my Facebook friends who read this, so, in drama I’m doing this play called ‘Abigail’s Party’ I think it first came out in the eighties, (Please don’t be offended WordPress readers) so I’m just wondering if anyone’s seen it? My version is completely different to the original mind you!

Speaking of blog readers, I’m gonna give a shout out to Lee! Because he’s actually lovely and such an amazing guy to talk to so yeah! Lee FTW!!! In fact, just because I’m feeling crazy, I’m gonna even give you a link to his blog!! Ooooft. Aren’t you lucky?! http://btmyb.blogspot.com/ Check it out kiddos!!

Also, y’know what pissed me off today. Matrices. Or to say it in singular form, a matrix. Now, I’m not being funny, but I’ve always imagined a matrix to be somekind of vast, impossible, so ridiculously clever thing that humans just can’t understand it thing that only exists in sci-fi. However, much to my disappointment, I have recently found out in the past view days that matrices are in fact, vast, impossible, so ridiculously clever things that humans just can’t understand them, that are taught in high schools and collges up and down the country. I’m not amused. Not in the slighest. They are the most ludicrously pointless things ever. ADDITIONAL MATHS FOR THE LOSE!!

I would drop it, but we’re forced to take it. Admittedly they don’t technically ‘force’ us, but those teachers don’t act like it’s Christmas in July if you decide to drop it…

There’s another thing actually, it’s parents evening next week!! Eeeeeeeeek!!! Not that I’m worried about what the teachers will say to my parents, because I can honestly say that I work hard and try my best in all my lessons, I’m more worried about what my parents will say to my teachers… or to be specific, what my dad will say to my teachers. I mean, there won’t be a problem with maths, additional maths, science, french, german, or geography. But when we get onto English Language and Literature, things will start to go a little… off the rails… and when we go to see Drama and R.E. I will spend the whole interview wishing for a convinient fissure to swallow me up!

Y’see, my dad is very… umm… I’m trying to get the right word… he’s very… traditional. As in cooking is for girls, all men should play football, etc. So he doesn’t agree with my passion for drama, and writing, because he passes those off as ‘girly’ activities. And as for R.E, well I’ll say this, last year he told the teacher that it was ‘wishy washy’ and when she was explaining about the course for next year he makes a string of ridiculous statements including a casually racist comment, homophobia, how we should bring back capital punishments etc etc. It’s not looking good for Jack…

Actually, I have just thought though, I am SLIGHTLY worried about what my English teacher is gonna say to my parents. It’s just that for this exam we had to write a short story, and mine was about this guy on a school holiday to Germany, and he falls in love with another guy, and it’s a kind of twisted romance thing. But the thing is, my dad thinks I’m straight, and my mum thinks I’m having a ‘gay phase’ . So if they hear about that story, things may get a little… difficult… ouch.

And thats about all my musings for this evening… OH! Wait, get this! Fox of America have comissioned a pilot for a U.S. series of none other than… TORCHWOOD!! Penned by Russel T Davies and everything! So, what does this mean for our beloved Welsh version?! And will Torchwood even work in America?! Who knows!?!?!?!!

I’ll leave you to ponder…

Jack out.

P.S. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7MXAIVjwcY&feature=related <<<< Watch this. It’s a You Me at Six cover which is absolutely beautiful! Its part of what made me cry!

I don’t know what’s wrong with me at the minute blog readers!

I’m up one minute then down the next!! It’s like being on a rollercoaster! A roller coaster called… FIONA BRUCE!! You well thought I was gonna say LIFE then didn’t you? Don’t deny it!! I know it’s true!!

No I don’t really… ARGH!! My head is killing me!! I want to write sad stuff, then I want to write happy stuff, then sad stuff, and I just don’t know!! I think I’m actually going crazy…

It’s insane. So I’m really pissed off, because I actually cannot apologise!!! I find it really hard to do, even when I’m burning up inside, I still find it so incredibly difficult to apologise to people! I just wish I could do it!

But then, I figured out the cure for feeling shit. Two words. Blogs and musicals. Which is good. I went in a REALLY fast car today, which was totally amazing!! Such an adrenaline rush! I love adrenaline.

Someone told me before that I don’t think things through. Which is a pretty much fair assessment of me. I generally make things up as I go along, which I do brilliantly most of the time. But sometimes I make mistakes. Ok, ok, a lot of the time, but I do try to fix those mistakes whenever I can. So I’ve apologised a lot at the moment…

But it’s not all bad. I mean sometimes life is good. But sometimes its not. So good and bad aren’t really good or bad, they’re just life. And life is complicated.

And sadness? That’s good too. Sad is happy for deep people.

I’m deep.
