Did you miss me?
I’m back! At least until I decide that I’m too cool for this again. I’m not too cool for this at all, and as you all know I’m extremely cool. There are a lot of things to update. My about me page is pretty much obsolete now, apart from the Kaiser Chiefs fanatic thing; that’s still true. In the space of six months I have seen them live twice, met them once and spent about £300 on them. On May 24 I saw them at Elland Road stadium in Leeds - what a gig. I was on the barrier (I should think so after queuing for six hours) and I could spot myself in various photos, and even on TV
My hand made it’s debut on a poster in NME magazine, which I thought was quite nice. On several photos however, I manage to have picked a spot where I’m behind Ricky’s arse on one, and behind a cameraman on a photo of the band thanking the crowd at the end of the show, which I would quite like to have been a part of. I also didn’t take any pictures for the entire duration of the gig. It’s almost like I wasn’t there, and the whole thing was just a creation of my imagination. Anyway, enough of me harping on about them. I know quite a lot of people hate them as much as I love them, so unless I want to lose friends I should probably change the subject.
What else has happened… I’ve taken four GCSE exams, so I now officially have two GCSEs. Well, providing I’ve passed (which I think I have). I got the results back for my science module one exam and I got 98/100 (a scaled mark, not an actual percentage), which is pretty good. I have an A* for my coursework too, so providing I’ve done as well in the exam I took on Tuesday, I have an A* in general science. Religious Studies was a different matter. We were given two very mean exam papers, and as soon as I sat down I promptly managed to forget everything I’d learned over the past two years. And next year, I have to do citizenship. As an actual subject. Brilliant.
I haven’t written anything in quite a while, so apologies if my writing seems very choppy. I’ve also become self conscious of using “I” too much. In English we’ve been doing poems and in quite a few, the interpretation seems to be “the writer has used I a lot in this monologue to make the character come across as self important or egotistical”. Is that how I come across? Self important? Egotistical? I hope not. There I go again. I can’t stop using I, can I? Maybe I am egotistical deep down and it expresses itself through my writing. Who knows.
I shall now leave you all so I can look at t-shirts on Think Geek and dye my hair a vivid red colour ![]()
