Simple Enough

Just to start off....Green Day was awesome! I'm going to see them again in Manchester sometime next year, I forgot the date but I am going!

Ah, anyway, better write what I was supposed to write...
Nobody exactly knows this, but I like to write in my free time. Not ranting on blogs type of writing, I only do this for my own amusement. I do creative writing, like stories and stuff.
I had a fresh idea about an hour ago, and so far I've written this much on it:

As the brisk wind caressed my face, I wondered to myself, what exactly am I doing in a graveyard? I sighed at the attempted thought, I actually had no clue whatsoever as to why I was here, something inside my just screamed: ‘Hey, let’s go to the graveyard today!’ and I just couldn’t ignore the urge. I wandered to the east a bit until I reached a tall statue which towered over me by quite a bit. It was a tower of Jesus Christ in the middle of a graveyard, how comfortable, not only can you mourn for your loved ones but you can stare at dead Jesus whilst you’re doing it. Delightful, utterly delightful. I never really got religion, I decided as a child that it was a waste of my time; trawling to Church every Sunday just to listen to a pensioner read an immensely tedious section of the bible, only to fall asleep half-way through. I stared up at the statue, not interested in the slightest. The brisk wind batted my skin once again, this time with a force.
“Jesus it’s cold.” I muttered to myself without thinking, smirking at the irony. I gave the Jesus statue one cold look and then made my way back west, hopefully no smack-heads have stolen my car by now. I flicked my arm out in front of me and checked the time, 1am the clock read. Graveyards are never closed; they’re open all hours since it’s a public area. It’s more like a park, only less fun and full of dead people.


So, if someone's actually reading this, tell me what you think, because I want to actually be an author, even though the pay is the equivilent of a Pizza boy, perhaps less. I think I'm off to write more on this little story, I think I'll post updates if people actually read this (:

A Little Review...

Well, today I watched 'Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant', which I had actually been waiting years for. I've read almost all 12 books of the series, and so, I was pretty happy for the film. The film was based on the first three books...Well, supposed to be anyway. So, here's my littler review:
First off, the setting was wrong. It's set in Ireland, not some random place in America [I think it was Baltamore]. Then, there's the age...Darren is meant to be 14, not 16. They've got the heights wrong too...

Well, they skimmed through the first 100 pages of the first book. All the events were mashed up into one big scene. It skipped them so much, it left out most of the important bits. Sure, they got SOME of it right. But they didn't even bother to show them catching the tickets, the bleeding-knee scene and other important stuff. Then there's the Steve-wanting-to-be-a-vampire scene...They got MOST of it right...

My laptops dying so here's the basics:

30% 1st book, 10% second book, 10% 3rd book, 50p% random made-up crap

Oh yus!

Haha, long time no see, eh? Well, there's not much to talk about but here it goes:
I got tickets for Kerrang's Relentless Energy Drink Tour [All Time Low, The Blackout, My Passion, Young Guns]. So I'm pretty excited about that, I mean I'll be in the same room as Alex Gaskarth....*Fangirlygiggle* But enough of my fangirliness, I have tickets for Reel Big Fish too!
Green Day, Paramore, Relentless Energy Drink Tour, You Me At Six and Reel Big Fish to look forward to. Life's sweet for me, gigwise.

In other news...I've managed to increase my iTunes library by 300 songs in a day. Whilst searching for one Bring Me The Horizon CD, I stumbled upon a box full to the brim with CDs. Heaven, absolute heaven. I've picked out the ones I want, which came up to about 30 CDs. This included Limp Bizkit, Aerosmith, blink-182, Killswitch Engage, Guns 'N' Roses and Sum 41. There's still about 15 more CDs to go, I think Alexisonfire is in the pile.

All I seem to talk about is music, might as well talk about the hell-hole I call school. My history lessons with Merlin are pretty messed up, every time he reaches an important point he practically jizzes in pants. And I have no idea why I'm in the lower set for English, I know everything that's being taught to me. Seriously, we were give 45 minutes to write a story called 'Theif', I did three pages of introduction by the end of the time. Then Miss Bee tells me that she loved the story, and so did her husband! Why would her husband like a story on a vampire? A VAMPIRE?! I had lines from the book Cirque Du Freak stuck in my brain, mixed with a bit of Marked and a tiiiny bit of Eclipse...Which are all vampire books. So that musta been why I wrote about a vampire who stole stuff. And in german & French, Bateman (AKA, BATMAN) treats me like I'm a Jeffy. If you didn't understand that watch The Ringer NOW. Ah, but Treen is gone on Friday, so there'll be no more depressing 'People-die-from-gymnastics-and-my-daughter-has-leukimea-and-alchoholics-are-on-the-rise' speeches.

Yeah, I'm tired :/

Cool Beans

Yeah, I like saying that now. So, I had quite a productive day. I woke up and looked like crap; I had to go through TONS of beauty procedures to look a bit decent. I'm gonna put the rest in list form:
Got out the house, started to rain.
Got to the bus-stop.
Got attacked by a leaf, one of those big ass ones aswell.
Got to town, tripped out the bus.
Ran into Alice.
Almost bought Babycakes tickets from Alice.
Ran into Hannah.
Hannah dragged me to see Emo Dan.
Emo Dan don't like me.
Ran into Alice again.
Waited outside Cafe Nero for my lift.
Realised it was Match Day.
Got home.

So yeah, that's pretty much what happened. In other news...I have three new albums. Common Dreads (Enter Shikari), Brand New Eyes (Paramore) and Take Of Your Colours Deluxe (YouMeAtSix).

Common Dreads - It was pretty awesome, it's the kinda stuff I like so...Yeah.
Brand New Eyes - Probably the best Paramore album yet.
Take Off Your Colours Deluxe - FINALLY, they have Finders Keepers on a CD! Thanks YMAS!

I decided to actually buy YMAS's album, because I never got it when they supported FOB last year, and they're supporting Paramore this year. The deluxe version has two discs, complete with music videos and their new tracks which weren't on the original Take Off Your Colours.
Brand New Eyes was well worth the wait, it's been quite long since Riot! was released, so it's good to hear new stuff from Paramore.
Common Dreads...It was just epic. It came off as noise at first, but I've warmed up to it.

I completly forgot to buy Muse's new album, since Uprising sounded awesome and had a hint of Blondie in it. Oh well, I'll get it eventually.

Well, I'm off to...Be random somewhere else.

Raid My Music Collection

So, I was searching through my cupboard yesterday, well, more cleaning it out. Anyways, I found a buncha old CD's that I just gad to burn onto my computer. These included "Crossroad" by Bon Jovi, "The Very Best Of Meat Loaf", "Dumb And Dumber Soundtrack" and "The Jam's Greatest Hits". And so far, I'm in love with the albums! I've always loved Bon Jovi and Meat Loaf, but I never really had any songs by them.

Anyway, I thought I might rant on about my music collection. I've been trying to collect as many CDs as possible, just to take up space in my room. So far, I've managed to add a total of one new album in the past week. Well, I would say two but the other I bought was just replacing an old CD that has broke, and the mayonaise in the freezer trick wasn't working on it. I've got at least £80 to spend, so about £30 of that will go towards some new albums, like Muse's new album and YouMeAtSix's deluxe album. Oh, and The Used's new album.

The range of my iTunes library isn't too wide. I wish I could say the same for my brothers, his goes from Metallica to N-Dubz, to Avenged Sevonfold to Lethal Bizzle. Mine ranges from The Gallows to Busted, Flobots to Fall Out Boy, Meat Loaf to BrokeNCYDE. Pretty much a mixture, apart from that "'Ard innit" music that most other people listen to.

At the moment, I've opened myself to an all-new genre of music named Crunk. I'm pretty much into it. It's like sleazy alternative with the beats of R 'N' B, it's basically like Grind Core and Dance Core but different. You need to listen to soem Crunk artists, I love tons of 'em, especially 3OH!3 and BrokeNCYDE and The Medic Droid.

Apart from the bombardment of Crunk in my iTunes library, I do have a lot other genres. Acoustic, Acid Punk, Alternative, Rock, Metal, Comedy, Electronic/Electronica, 8-Bit. Tons. But it's mainly Alternative & Punk, because that's my favourite. I'm not that keen on Metal, but I do like a bit of it, like Metallica, System Of A Down, Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Marilyn Manson. As far as alternative goes, I'm pretty much an expert on it.

Music plays an important part in my life, I have many more songs than any of my friends. They only have tiny little iPod Nano's with enough room for 400 songs. I have no idea how they live with such little music, I have 2077 songs on my iTunes library. Music is definetly one of my main priorities, I always have spare earphones on me and my iPod. HMV hardly stocks any good bands anymore and Zavvi shut down so Amazon.com is my music source - And Limewire. Don't stab me because I use Limewire, you have to understand my situation. My laptop only accepts certain Regions of CDs, so I'm limited. And most of the bands I like aren't even popular in this country and are only known in the states. I'm at least resonable with my downloading, I refuse to illegally download some artists. Like my favourites, such as Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, Muse, Kids In Glass Houses, YouMeAtSix, blink-182, Paramore and My Chemical Romance.

I'm no wannabe, have you SEEN this ages wannabes? UGH! They say stuff like "Oh yah, I'm soooo emo! Look at my side fringe!" when really their side- fringe is just an altered hair cut that resembles a comb-over. I, myself, know quite a few wannabes. I refuse to believe I was like them, which frankly I wasn't . Even from the age of three I was into Linkin Park, Bon Jovi, Metallica and Aerosmith. Back to these wannabes, I do know a few. They say "I'm so emo!" but they listen to Avril Lavigne, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and other Disney-Powered 'Stars'. I've tried to tolerate them, but in the past few weeks I've just give them evil-eyes. AND this one particular one says that they love Fall Out Boy, when they only know about three songs.

That's what else annoys me, those people who are like "O ya, I LUV dis band, I'm gonna see dem" when they only know one song and then buy a great ticket to just 'Rave' to one song, that might not even be in the set list! I know all the lyrics to every Fall Out Boy song, except for a few that I haven't gotten yet. And, since I'm going to see Paramore, I know most of their lyrics to their two albums, and waiting on the new one in a few weeks. Green Day, I know A LOT of their songs and I'm gonna see them. Bring Me The Horizon, I know the screams to most of their 'Suicide Season' album and, since my brother exposed them to me years ago, I know some of the lyrics to their older albums. That was a bit off topic.

Wow, I really do ramble. Yeah, so I'm off to watch Scrubs (:

Ramblings

Ha, ha and triple ha. I've managed to remember that I've created this. Well, that was short lived. Y'know, creative writing is pretty awesome. Ever tried it? It's a release from reality. If you're angry, write something about tons of demons killing innocent people. Or if you're happy, write something about daisies and whatnot...Anyways, it's fun to me. But, I never want to write for a magazine or newspaper; I hate deadlines.

Is it me or is Facebook seemingly better than Myspace? I don't like Social Networking sites much anymore, I think I'm a lot more mature than most of the kids in the lower years WhO tLk LiAk DiS, and use phrases such as "Yo, that was sick blud" and "Man, that was sick." Etc. But back on subject: Facebook just happens to have more stuff to do. If spit could travel through the Internet, I'd spit on Tom the creator of Myspace's shoe.

I don't like Twitter. I quote from David Cameron: "Too many tweets make a twat". Why is everyone 'Tweeting' random crap about their lives? Nobody cares if you just ate an orange and it had a seed in it, or that you saw a bear today! NOBODY! I must confess, I have got a Twitter account, but I rarely use it and, to be frank, it's a queer. I could just imagine the Twitter bird in a crop top and tight-fitted deep blue jeans and sandals, even though it's a bird and doesn't technically have proper feet and legs.

I've suddenly become addicted to YouTube. If anyone is actually reading this, check out the favourites on my channel: www.youtube.com/screaminstar
Sure, half of them are Twilight related stuff and random Japanese make up tutoritals, but most other things are random songs, random videos and random spoofs....Random. But, if there's one minorly popular YouTube channel I love the most, it's this: www.youtube.com/dexterboy124

The dude who owns the channel is called Dexter, he's really nice to talk to. His videos are epically hilarious, adult humour mixed up with Your Mom jokes and just...Epicness. If you have the time, watch all of his Super Smash Brothers Melee and Super Smash Brothers Brawl machinima vids and other videos; I think they're hilarious. Speaking of Dexter, he just signed into MSN. Weird.

Anyways, it's twenty past one in the morning. See ya.

Hmm...

Well, I've basically only created this blog to comment of Daniel Water's blog, but ah well.

It's...Okay, so far. But I don't think I have the heart to make much of this, but I will try.
