'Tim is God'

Wow...

We well saw Tim Minchin last night. Wow...Again. ;)

Last Tim blog was about us getting tickets. Well Excited for it. It was worth it.

He was amazing, and beautiful, and his eyes, truley were as gorgeous as they seem on TV :P

WE got there well early 'cause we actually needed to find the place, but when we did we went and 'lunched' in M&S(Posh yeahh?!xD) We then just kinda wandered aimlessly until around 6ish, when we made our way to find the Guildhall again, and we sat on a wall which was the tiniest ever, which offended us, so we moved to the steps where we almost got killed by a crane that worked! I know right! A working crane?! What WERE they thinking! Anyway, loads more people turned up and we went in, and bought this 'souvenir set thing' Which consisted of a Tim Canvas bag(to take to the supermarket!) a programme and a poster. I must say, in all the photos, he seems like a very bendy man...don't know if anyone but us notices these things xD We went in and sat in Antici...pation for him, and I wow'd at his Sexy Piano. Honestly, I was making plans to steal it. They're well the best instrument ever ftr.
Then it went all dark and Tim spoke in his amazing Australian accent! He sung lots of songs, and well did 'Taboo' as like his second, I agree, Only a Ginger can call another Ginger Ginger! :P
We were in awe tbh, and he was hilarious, although the guildhall obviously fucked up ticketing, cause loads of people kept on going to the row in front of us and pissing us off. xD He finished the 1st half with Canvas Bags, in which he revealed his beautiful chest and had a fan(which he seems to be obsessed with tbh.) blow at him, to make him look all windswept and interesting!...and fit...2nd half was just as good, and he finished with Darkside, in which he showed off his fantastic piano skills....I Love Him ;)...We then clapped, lots. And he came out and did a BEAUTIFUL song about Christmas for an Encore and we melted.
When it was all over and we stood and clapped him we went outside to see him, after a while his manager or someone simular came out, we weren't very interested in him,. but we said hi to him anyway as he told us to be all good and nice, and try not to kill Tim etc etc... Then he came out and we were just like Wooooowwwww again. and we were lie right at the front for ages but he kept on going to the other side and signing other peoples shizz, and then he turned round and went 'Ah young people!' and we were like wheyy:) and he said he should turn left more often, and we agreed. :D He soon turned left and we stood and smiled as we were just kinda too ahhhh! Tim! To speak haha, he went Hi! and we went Hi! and he went You okayy, and we were just like yeahhh! All shy like! Which is totally not like us, and he signed out tickets and smiled with beautiful...face. He is a Very Pulchritudinous(google it.) Man. even up close, where as some people look amazing on TV, but in real life they're just average xD Not the case with Tim at all! We then had to run off and go catch a train (we're on a train! - Boosh quote, sorry.) and just wow'd a little more. We Just got in before the last ferry, which was very lucky! and we then walked all the way to mine, and then slept with good thoughts 'cause we saw Tim, and he was amazing, and we'd well been looking forward to this for ages!

5 Stars. Obviously. Some jokes were, of course obscene, but tbh, that's just Tim isn't it xD

This is officially the best weekend ever, 'cause on Sunday, We're also going up to London to see Greenday(AHHHHHHHHH<3)>

It was a VERY 'wow' night.

Do You Feel?!


Right, the other day we went to Southampton, it was a good day, and we went and got sherbet from the amazing sweetie shop! Everything was good, and soon after we set of adventuring to find the Harbour Lights Picture House. Tbh, we didn't know at all where we were going, so just kinda walked in a direction that suited us and hoped it was right. Well, after a while we felt lost, so we saw a co-op and decided to go and stock up on supplies, incase we were stuck in Southampton for years to come! In co-op we asked a nice man called Nick for directions, he told us to go find Ocean Village, then we 'couldn't miss it'. We would hold him to this. If we missed it, Nick was to be blamed. Well, can I say, we did almost miss it, but that was just us being a little blind, when we got there we realised that the first showing of what we wanted to see was on at 4...It was only 2:30 now! D: We bought tickets and just hung around for ages until we could go in, it was a well nice little cinema, and amongst the posters we saw The Bunny And The Bull - The new film by Paul King(Boosh Director) Which we got all excited about like years ago, and then completely forgot about, it's gonna be good! Go see if when it's out people! Anyway, we went into the tiny cinema screen, and we pretty certain it was just gonna be us in there! but just before it started 5 more people came in, all middle aged, but ohwell. (Also at this point i'll mention how Yummy Cadbury Nibbles are! XD)

I realise I havn't mentioned what film we went to see yet. I felt I'd keep you in suspense. :O

We went to see The Cove, it's a documentry about Ric O'Barry (Flipper Dolphin Trainer) and how he, and a team of people, are trying to stop the slaughter of around 23000 Dolphins in a little Japanese town of Taiji. We had heard before hand that it was quite graphic and disturbing, and for that we almost didn't go, as some people thought we were a little weird for us wanting to see Dolphins get murdered mercilessly. Nevertheless, we went and tbh, I think it was good we did. It wasn't as graphically disturbing until right at the end, where the managed to film the actual murder of these beautiful creatures, and the sea turned deep red, I'll admit, at that point I looked away, I was almost in tears, it was horrible, this one Dolphin chucked itself out of the water and tried to jump onto these sharp rocks to try and get away from it, it wa just a horrible 10 or so mintues. What shocked me most, was the numbers and statistics they reeled off all throughout the film. They were terrifying tbh, and tbh I think something needs to be done. I'm well in admiration of the lot who made the film, 'cause what they did was technically 'illegal' yet they didn't give up or anything. It was inspiring. There's a song by The wonderful Rocket Summer called Do You Feel, one of the verses has this in it... 'Sometimes I convince myself
that all is fine in the world
It's not mine
Why should I
have to try
to fix things I didn't create or contrive'
It's all about not acting on what we should in the world, cause we all have our own problems and are all too self centered to go and actually do anything about it. Well, that's what I get out of it anyway, I recommend you go check Him out, he's got an amazing voice, Sexy hair, and can write amazing songs. Why wouldn't you?! xD But back to the point, I think something more should be done about the Dolphins, and other situations like that. Originally, we decided we were just gonna watch the film 'cause we're obsessed with The Red Paintings, but it's actually made something in my head click, and I'd well love to be able to do something about it. I've also gotta talk to 10-11 year olds at some point about the charity Save The Whales! for My PSHE Coursework, and the film will be mentioned, even though they're technically too young for it, age certificate wise. Hopefully they'll want to try and do something aswell, and maybe force their parents to go see it with them.

My point? The Cove, an awesome film, that makes you think. It'll shock you, and will be difficult to watch, but it's well worth it. I admire Ric O'Barry, and his team. Hopefully their actions will make change.
Go to The Coves website, to see where it's showing.

I'll leave you with a line from the wonderful Trash McSweeney...

'I Tried To Ignore It'

Where is that from?!

It's a song, we're sure, we thought either Dresden Dolls, Placebo, or Duke Special, as they're the main bands we listen to (if you hadn't noticed) But we can't find the line on any lyrics websites, we might just be making it up, or twisting what the actual line is.

Help Meeeeeeee xD

I Just Wanna Get Of My Chest, That I Think Your Divine





















Sex!

The World Is Really All In Love...

Well... It's fucked up. And I thought I'd write on this, 'cause I'm meant to be doing Coursework, and I was on Twitter, generally wasting time, when I was flicking through people's posts, and I follow BBCNews, just to prove to my Dad that I do take an interest in the world. Which tbh, is a lie, I hate the news, I just skip past the news posts without reading them and nose on what famous people are thinking and doing! I just decided I should probably read them sometimes though, so I tried, and in 4 posts, in an hour and a half, all of them are horrible, about drugs, fraud, racists, economy and even more hate. Now, I avoid the News at all costs, for this reason, why do we Want to know about the fucked up world we live in? I'd much rather stay in my little 'bubble' where everything's good, and kids don't get abused, women don't get beaten, the BNP, and general racists, don't exist, the Economy is completely fine, and no one is forced to do anything illegal, against their will! Why is it like this anyway?
I was in History the other day, and people were talking about A and H bombs, and all of that, they then went on to talk about massive, destructive, horrible weapons that people are thinking of building now! I hadn't heard of any of this shitt until this lesson, due to my avoiding of the news, but I was sat there, in disbelief that people could just talk and joke about these Weapons of Mass Destruction, like they were nothing, like they weren't gonna kill millions of people like the Americans did at Hiroshima and that. It just doesn't make sense to me.
I know I'm completely naive, and way too 'innocent' in my head to actually think about this stuff and not worry about it! Is it right people arn't worried about how the world in general is atm? I really don't think it is!

Life Is No Cabaret...

Once there was this mate of mine called Steve...he was obsessed with cheesy 90's pop, and spent his time commenting on you tube videos, and arguing with innocent strangers. Steve was a good mate, he very closely resembled a roll of sellotape except was green and and had fantastically bright red hair which he wore in bunches.
One day Steve decided he loved 90's pop so much he would build a time machine and go back to live there forever. He went about collecting parts of old furniture and 716 balloons, and then set to work on the machine. It took Steve 13 years and 7 days to build it. Passers by would yell comments in his direction. "It'll never work" said a tall handsome grass hopper one day, watching Steve hammer away from a safe distance. Steve took no notice and carried on. He never slept or ate throughout the time of building, so when it was finished he was completely exhausted. The machine looked astounding. It stood 6ft high and 5 wide, decorated with old shoelaces and peacock feathers kindly donated by Winston, a wise old peacock who owned the apothecary down the road.
Steve was so exhausted that he has made a fatal error in the programming of his time machine...you know what programmings like. He had accidentally set his machine to 1890 instead of 1990. As you would imagine Steve was shocked and appalled wondering the streets desperately trying to find that guy from Blur...you know, the one who makes cheese. However insead of him Steve found an old boot discarded on the side of the road, and immediately fell in love. Him and the boot lived nice and happily under a bridge with an alligator who would visit on Tuesdays!

You've Never Seen Such Perseverance!


GCSE art, I think I'm going through the 5 stages of death with this last project! D:

(<<--That's it. Done. I think anyway, the pictures not too good quality anyway and my teacher says it's about a D, but tbh, I don't care if I pass Art or not anymore, the fact is, it's done!)

1)Denial - I didn't believe we only had liek a week to finish this. I denied that I would fail. ( if this counts)
2)Anger - I was Reaaaalllllly pissed off with my teacher, and most people in general, just cause I was getting so stressed over this work, which is gonna go in some local gallery in a week of so.
3)Bargining - We all asked our teacher for an extension. No, was her answer.
4)Depression - Last night I almost had a major breakdown over this! I was almost in tears over a piece of silk! XD
5) Acceptance - I've accepted it's to be in for like tomorrow, even though yesterday the deadline was today, so hopefully the same will happen again! (yn)

What I'm trying to say is, GCSE Art Sucks! It's so much work! That if you're not naturally completely amazing at art, then it's hell, takes up ALL of your time, upsets you, and generally ruins 2 years of your life. This is why I'm not having anything to do with it at college next year!

I should really get back to sewing sequins on now! It'll take forever, but I'm determined to get it done now. Hense the title from 'Haemoglobin.' I heard the line and was like...! I must tell the world(more like about 2 people who may or may not read this) about the hell this is, and how really, I'm getting over it :P

Really, this is all a massive waste of time, and I'm now out of tea...Any offers to make me another cup? Please?

The Girls Are Crying And The Boys Are Masterbating

Hey, good day?

So we've been on a bit of a learning curve recently. Through the wonders of msn we have been finding out how often males aged between 15-20ish masturbate. And tbh we got a surprising amount of results just by asking whoever was online "Outta interest, how often a week do you masturbate".

Here is the data we collected. The first number is the age of the male, while the second is their personal view on how much they believe they masturbate per week.

19:3-4

17: 1-2

19:2

15: 3-4

19: 2

17:2-3

16:2

17:9

15: 7-8

16: 0

18:3-4

15:2-3

17:0.5

18:3

16:3-4


To be quite honest, I don't have the energy to do anything with this data at the moment, but when I have time I'll get some averages and draw out some conclusions. Obviously this is a small sample size, however it varies in age and location as some of these participants are actually Scottish :). Even taking that into account our data is still completely unreliable and shows absolutely nothing except there's a good chance most of our friends lied.
