This is not going to be a...

Long blog post because I posted earlier (it was yesterdays technically, but I'm tired and just want to go to bed).

Since my interview now yesterday, I've thought loads about what I did yesterday, I know some of my answers were stupid now that I think about it. I know I could have sold myself better and you know in retail, the customer always comes before the employee. I knew that, why I didn't vocalize it is behind me. I'm just going to pin this one down on nerves because it was my first interview, and the company did tell me I did well for a first timer.

Anyway, a job seems to have come up in Primark, which is my next destination I guess, luckily I'm in town tomorrow so it won't be hard to pick up an application form :D

To be honest with you, it's getting to one of them stages where you really have to wonder about how your going to make ends meet if you never get a footing on the retail economy if no one hires you because your a newcomer, know what I mean? Which is where Primark comes in, they seem to bring in anyone, so hopefully I can rely on them to get a job even if they do treat me like shit as long as their paying me :D

Anyway, I'm going to be going now, seriously tired and I have another early morning tomorrow.

Night!

The Job Interview

Written yesterday, but my internet died out....

Okay, it was fail.

I didn't get the job, I answered like all the questions wrong, and I know it. I look back and think, why the hell did I answer the question like that? I know myself I could have answered them better.

It sucks really, but it looks like I'm back on the hunt. Not that I ever got off the hunt, I just hoped that I'd have to stop hunting, know what I mean? Life just sucks. 

I've actually lost count of how many jobs I've applied for lately.

Anyway, to the interview, I won't write about it in detail about the interview as I have school in the morning. Maths revision, the idea totally drives me up the wall of waking up early two days in a row, but I know I'll benefit from tomorrow. It's maths, I fail at maths.....

Just because the interview is kind of a sore subject, I'm going to be moving on to a new one.

Chrono Crusade. I love Chrono Crusade. I think I have the right to say that when I spent like £100 on the series when it was first coming out. The idea behind the show is very original, it's heartwarming, but also heartbreaking at the same time. I listen to them on some episodes vowing never to die on one another, but in the end they do die together, which has to be like the saddest anime episode in history. 

The show is superbly done in English and Japanese. I could watch every episode multiple times and I have watched the show multiple times and the show has not seen the end of me.

I love how the internet decides to die on me seconds before I get to post this, so I guess I'll have to miss today's blog. That sucks.

Technically it's Tuesday anyway, but I haven't gone to bed yet, meaning that it's still the day before to me..... Damn. That sucks.

I'd better save it to word and come back to it in the morning, before going to school...... TT.TT

Night. Or it'll be Morning! When I come back to it now....

See you tonight for another one!

Again, not a long post

I seem to feel like I get into these phases of blogging where I don't really blog much. It's either because I have no time, I leave it until there's no time, or that I'm too tired to blog, or I just don't have much to blog about.


So I've got my interview tomorrow and I'm totally nervous. I've read all these things about what to expect and how to act, some of them I do naturally, but I have a really bad habit of cursing. I know it doesn't sound like a bad thing here, but apparently in a job interview it's very very bad.


I think really it's just something that'll happen and if it doesn't go all that well, it doesn't matter it's not a life or death situation. I know what to not raise, I know just answer the questions and do as told, I read that that's a good sign to an employer because it shows that you can follow orders. I've done some background history on the retailer, I've got like 4 copies of my CV, I've got references, my NI number, the lot, it's just showering and picking a suitable outfit in the morning, shoes will be my biggest downfall, I don't think converse will pass off as good enough shoes so I might borrow a pair from my sister, but hopefully things will go well.

Anyway, I'm off, I need a good nights rest ready for the half an hour of my life that it's really going to account for much of the day but surely the biggest part of my life. I'll write about it as soon as I get home so that I don't forget anything even if it doesn't go according to plan :D

Night!

Happy Birthday, Haley Joel Osment

Basically, this is going to be like the only thing I'll be doing today. I did an all-nighter last night and I'm out for the count.

I've got mixed feelings currently about the interview on Monday, I'm just so happy that someone has given me the chance. I'm going to be doing a lot of research into the company tomorrow and we'll see how things go from there, right? That's what I'll probably be blogging about on Monday, probably in tears for how much I screwed up......

I had an awesome night last night, I just learned that now I'm going to never drink Red Bull before going to bed, and sugar, obviously a bad combo, I couldn't get to sleep at all.

Anyway, the last thing I'm going to say before going to bed now is....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HALEY JOEL OSMENT.

Night!

I don't think I've been so happy

In my life. Or at least for a while.

This is going to be a short post because I'm going out now soon.

But....

There is a reason why I'm posting.

I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW!

Yes, someone actually got back to me. PC World rang me this morning and told me they wanted to see me for an interview, so I'm going now on Monday, at 11 for an interview.
I'm so happy, excited, but nervous at the same time.

It's a weekend job which I can easily do.

I'm so happy I can barely think!

Anyway, I have to be going now.

Happy Friday!

Another Day, Another story

One thing I know that scares me is typing this post and listening outside because I can hear the cats running around fighting on the roof. They do it at moments when you least expect it. It's really a lot scarier than what it sounds to be.

Okay, so the main reason for this would be I revisited my childhood tonight. To the first horror movie I ever saw. Ghost Ship. I know, I know, it's not a very scary film, but at 12 anything and everything is a lot scarier than what it is. So the film has pacing issues, what films don't? One of the main reasons I'd say I saw the film is because of Emily Browning. Now, I'm no fan of her stuff, I don't hate her either, I know she exists and I know she's a good actress, Ghost Ship was my first horror movie, I saw the film Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events, which I've noticed has not gained many positive feedback from fans and reviewers alike. Then I saw her film The Uninvited and I was completely gobsmacked by her performance (In a good way, of course), and I was curious to see Ghost Ship again. I think I'd like to keep a close eye on her, see how she turns out. I've watched a total of one interviews with her and she seems like a pretty level headed girl.

But yeah, that is not the main focus of my blog today, at least I wasn't planning for it to be.

I don't think I'll be blogging tomorrow. I have a sleep over and dance is starting back tomorrow. I'll be in racks and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon I don't think I'll have much to say really. So it depends really, if I get like a response from a company in which I have applied for work, then obviously I'll blog it, but to be honest with you it won't be a very long blog post.

They never are these days are there?

Things are just so mundane, I don't know what to say. I'd be saying the same things repeatedly if I didn't control what I was putting on here, and by putting too much on here means that it'll show and it'll become messy.

I'm afraid people will find this blog, my friends in particular. I have this weird thing where I can admit to a load of people whom I don't know all these deep dark secrets but I can't tell my friends them. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this kind of thing. I don't feel confident enough to pour my heart out to them because I've built an image of a person that just doesn't care when in all honesty I don't, but I do have things I care for too. I'm a growing kid and we all have worries.

Speaking of worries. I promised my sister that I'd have a whole novel finished by the end of the year. Is that possible? I don't know, but since I promised it it means I have to do it.

That just means extra work for me, don't I do enough as is? I mean, I know I was the one who promised it, but I thought that she might forget about it and I wouldn't have to worry. But of course, as sisters are, she remembers that conversation quite clearly and I have to do it now.

Anyway, I'm feeling tired, I have to be awake early-ish tomorrow morning, I have washing to do before going on my sleep over, then I have to sort everything out and I have to write tonight before I go to bed. I've come to this thing where I have to do at least some writing before going to sleep now too. So that's two things I have to do before I go to bed these days .... TT.TT At this rate I won't be going to sleep until the early hours of the morning....

Night!

Clash of the Titans

Was as I feared. The trailers make it out to seem like the new thing since Avatar, especially with Avatar's own Sam Worthington playing lead.

So I went to the screening with high hopes of amazing effects, story, music and acting. I was also hoping for The Used to make an appearance at some point. But sadly that too was taken from me.

The film itself (this is coming from someone whom has not seen the original, so I have nothing to compare it to) is dismal. It's an okay film if you want to go and see it as an all out brawl with nothing else. There's not much of a plot. I wasn't quite following plot wise. It started out with Perseus and his human father, fishing. Then they were killed. Suddenly there was a rebellion. Perseus was casted into the army after being discovered to be a demi god. He won in the end, even though he was meant to die. All's well that ends well, right? Wrong.

To be honest with you. I'm still quite undecided about the film, I might have to go and see it again to get a proper feeling on the film.

Here's the synopsis for those who don't know about it

In “Clash of the Titans,” the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

So I'll start on some basic things.

1) Actors: The acting was okay for some. Ralph Fiennes (Hades) brought the acting standards up by quite a lot. Though he did sound like he had some form of a throat infection. Sam Worthington (Perseus) just couldn't seem to decide on what kind of accent to use. I know he's an Aussie, so at least I knew why sometimes he had an Australian accent. Liam Neeson (Zeus) looked bored.

2) Characters: Okay, so there's not much change you can do character wise, because of the setting, and the type of film. Though Zeus and Hades got quite a lot of say in it, Poseidon and the other Olympian Gods didn't get much of a say in at all. I think Poseidon might have said maybe 2 lines maximum. Perseus was quite boring and there wasn't really much development in him. The other characters were all killed off before anything decent could happen to them.

3) Music: To be honest with you, I didn't think too much of the music. It wasn't spectacular and it wasn't as bad some soundtracks I've heard.

4) Plot: As I've said, plot was quite monotonous. It seemed to lack a certain oomph, know what I mean? And the way they rewrote some of the Greek Mythology was way out of place. I know that it's Mythology and it's open to change, but the changes they made just weren't the right changes. And I felt that some scenes really dragged out, like when they were traveling seemed really long compared to some of the fight scenes in the film. And I thought that the fighting was going to be the main part of the film. Considering the type of movie it's advertised as anyway. So pacing wasn't the best either.

But I guess, as usual, my opinion is never going to be accounted for, so I'm only going to mention those four small (well rather large) things.

Over all I'd give the movie about a 4.5/10. The parts that tried to be humorous just weren't all that humorous and it was mundane in plot. I'd go and see it if I was feeling especially depressed. Of course, I'll probably buy it on DVD in a few years when it's worth like £3 or something.
