Quick Update of Nothing

So far, I have seen no proof that my guardian angel is a leprechaun. The only time a respectable adult has taken any interest in my blog, I've written about a used condom. Not cool, actually, it's pretty embarrassing.

I've been watching Desperate Romantics, mainly because Aidan Turner is in it, but I do like the Pre-Raphalites as well! So I am watching it for the art as well. I always wandered how they painted that Ophelia picture. Oof! That reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from some kid two years younger than me in school. He ran up to Carys (who's an amazing artist) and said "Are you that person that paints photographs?" Classic!

I have a walrus load of work to do over the holiday. It sucks! Somebody please remind me why I took Art? There's absolutely no self-expression and I'm completely useless when it comes to faking passion. It takes ages as well...

Stephen Fry (God) is Mottophobic, so now I'm not worried about being a freak because even if it does class me as one, I'm a tad bit like Stephen Fry!

I'm 50 pages away from finishing Hubert Selby Jr's Requiem For a Dream. I like the story, but the writing style is simply awful. Basically, one scene, or mini story, is written in one paragraph, and one paragraph is around 4 pages. That makes it tiresome to read and as I have to finish a paragraph before I put the bookmark in so I don't loose my place, I don't start reading a new paragraph unless I know how long it is.

After I'm done with this book, I'm moving onto Prey by Rachel Vincent, Diary by (my favourite author) Chuck Palahniuk and Moab is My Washpot by Stephen Fry.

Thanks a Bunch, Mom

Mother just walked in holding a box from my sister's room. She shook the box at me, signalling that I was suppose to open it, so I laughed and asked if it was scary. I thought that maybe there were dead bugs in there or a huge spider or something. Mother said it wasn't insects or anything, but she sounded like she was going to cry. So I opened it.

Now being a virgin (do I get a cash prize?), I've never really seen anything like this. In the middle of the box was a knotted condom, and when I lifted it up a bit, there was all this gunky stuff in there. It was pretty rank... I'll give you that!

Mother burst out crying saying she was going to put some Winnie The Pooh stuff in there (bless my Mom, she's so sweet) but she didn't see the point now. She asked what it was and I told her, the I asked if she's ever seen one and she shook her head saying that women her age don't usually see used condoms.

The worst part is that I don't know how old it is and I touched something that had not only been on a penis, but inside my sister's vagina... Gross! I think I might just die. Before I die though, I'm going to call Tess and ask her what the hell is wrong with her.

Boys Boys Boys!

Okay, like on the Sims, I have a Life Goal...

I Aim To Be An Author.

When I say Author, I mean to have a book published. It doesn't have to be a best seller. It doesn't have to be liked. It just has to be published. I'll sit at home and see a published version of something I wrote and that will make me eternally happy. You see, I don't ask for much, it just sounds like a lot!

At the moment, I'm working on a book with a male Irish lead character. The hard part? He's male. Now, this may surprise you, but I'm not. Therefore I doubt my ability to write from a male's perspective and make it convincing.

This is where you guys come in (if you are willing to lend a helping hand). If you could please email me a brief (or detailed if possible) description of your feelings and reactions to certain events, then I shall be ever so grateful.

Don't Worry... These will not be seen by anybody else apart from me and I will not be using them word for word as a part of the book. They will be put into the research part of my huge folder and then I shall try and put myself into the mindset that is present in the email. I don't need names, or examples of when it's happened to you before. It can be completely impersonal. I just need something to draw on when I'm worried my character is speaking with a female's mind.

If you are willing to help me out, the email is:

jupiterstar@hotmail.co.uk

In the subject box, please just put something along the lines of YOUR BOOK or RESEARCH or, if you have a sense of humour, I'M YOUR LAB RAT.

Topics may include whatever you feel is important to be spoken from a males point of view. Examples include: When a girl you like talks to you. When you get nervous. When you feel like you're the odd one out. When you get a *cough cough*... When you have a less than dry dream (why does that happen?)

Any ideas are welcome... I' kind of desperate to be honest!

Kindest Regards,

Just a Quickie...

Okay, so I haven't posted a blog for ages, and I've been on work experience all week and will be tomorrow as well. Basically, I don't really have time to blog right this second! However, hopefully, my next blog will be all about my work experience, so don't worry, all shall be revealed soon! I also have a play on the 23rd and 24th, but the script hasn't been completed yet, so that's kind of stressful and time consuming as well. On top of that Welsh Bac shizzle that I need to do!

Jade McSorley didn't win Britain's Next Top Model, but then again, neither did that Sophie bitch... Mecia won, and she's living in London with Jade now. Both of them pursuing their modelling careers. Jade lost out due to her weight but everyone is ultra-confident that we'll see her again. I have her picture on my mirror next to Ray Quinn and Stephen Fry. She's up there with the stars!

Don't Cry

Okay, maybe I get to attached to people on the television, but it's not my fault. On Britain's Next Top Model, Jade (who I am pretty much in love with) won a challenge and the prize was a couture dress. She was trying one on, and was all excited (it was seriously sweet) and she looked over to the other girls because she was so proud of herself but they just glared back. In the speaking parts they do, she was nearly crying saying that she was so proud of herself but when she saw the other girls, it was upsetting to realise how they don't want you to be in that position. It was really sad since she was practically crying. Why can't people be happy for others, even if it is a competition? Anyway, it really upset me.

On a more uplifting note, I bought La Roux's album today on Amazon. I'm excited as my favourite band (Cobra Starship) are releasing their album this month. Elliot Minor's will be soon as well. I'm still loving Green Day's new album, I was not disappointed. Plus the 4th book in the werecat series by Rachel Vincent came out today, I shall be receiving that soon as I pre-ordered it with last weeks pocket money. I didn't realise I spent my pocket money before I received it this much! It's okay though. I have £75 in my purse and £60 in the bank. I also have some money boxes, so I'm not turning into a spendaholic!

Oh and before I go, I've gone back to writing. Padraig O'Doherty (the Irish main character) and Matthew Shepherd (the hot American friend) were very happy to see my return. I need to change their names, as when I googled them, Padraig O'Doherty turned out to be some random guy on FaceBook, and Matthew Shepherd was a gay 21-year-old student in America who was tortured and murdered by two guys who acted gay to win his trust, although his surname is spelt without the H after the P. This is actually a tad bit like the character I had written. Plus I think I'm developing a thing for Ed Byrne, an Irish comedian. Yes I know, it's totally the Irish thing again! Oh well... as long as my guardian angel is a leprechaun I'm happy!

Kindest Regards,

A Boiling Hot,
