It seems to be the latest trend to setup a form on formspring and have people ask questions, or tell you things anon. As I flooded everyone on Twitter, I thought I’d shove all the Q&A into here too.
- Q: “How large is too large?” A: 8/9″
- Q: “Ever felt a ladies boob?” A: Yes, @Tooory has a lovely pair.
- Q: “would you ever date michael jackson?” A: Not really into dead guys (sorry, Michael!).
- Q: “Would you ever consider a huggle?” A: Why yes, yes I would
- Q: “how long does it take you to be comfortable around a complete stranger?” A: A complete stranger, about a week, but less if we’ve spoken.
- Q: “Do you wanna H5 @Tarastaunton :D” A: OF COURSE!
- Q: “Would you rather sleep with a homeless guy or a rich woman?” A: The homeless guy can shower at mine first, then we can sleep, THAT’S ALL
- Q: “who do you have a crush on, on twitter?” A: Hm…I dunno, @duncn, @charlotteis, @Tooory, @FlorenceRasin@steinhardt and @Leydon are cool.
- Q: “do you believe in love?” A: ‘Course I do, Cher x
- Q: “Blue Tit or regular, flesh-coloured tit? Hey-Oh!” A: Flesh, the blue ones make such a racket BANG BANG I WANNA KILL THEM.
- Q: “Spit or swallow?” A: Gonna say spit, though I may change my mind at the time.
- Q: “Have you ever watched Naruto? If not, why not? If you have, BADASS, amirite?” A: Sorry, Oscar!
- Q: “muscled guys or chubby guys?” A: NEITHER, Twinks please ;D
- Q: “what’s a twink? I feel so stupid” A: http://bit.ly/18OE8v
- Q: “Who would you rather sleep with? Johnny Depp or Colin Farrell?” A: COLIN FARRELL COLIN FARRELL COLIN FARRELL COLIN FARRELL
Now, before you judge me I would like to say that I am usually a very organised person. I don’t think I’ve been late to anything more than three times, which if you ask me I’d say is good going. This however, is a story of how I can easily fuck things up.
“Due to this status as Mr. Bigshot-City…”
I live in the not so fabulous city of Bristol, which if your geography is terrible or you live in another country, is in the west of England. London seems to be the place to be. I can’t see this myself. I mean, who wants to live in a highly congested, highly polluted, and highly expensive city — lots, that’s who. Due to this status as Mr. Bigshot-City, EVERY-SINGLE-TWEETUP seemed to take place in there, much to my hate.
Let’s Do This Thing!
It was in the insane Skype chat that had been going on for a few weeks that the subject of tweetups cropped up. Some idiot organised one during school and working hours, when neither he or anyone else could go (I think only two showed up in the end). I thought that a tweetup should be in Bristol, just because. An obvious location for this kinda nerdy shizzle seemed to be The Watershed. I emailed them (I’m really not a talk-on-the-phone kinda guy, maybe that’s a social defect but I don’t care) to find that they want £TOOMUCH.
They did however forward me to Pervasive Media Studio, where I spoke to Genevieve (I say spoke to when I really mean typed to). Gotta bring me on biccys and cake but it’s all organised for the 24th [Friday]. I setup a twtvite to track who is coming et cetera. Most of the people I wanted to come, were.
“Shit!”
‘Awesome!’ I thought. Well, that was when it all start to go a little…Erm…Shit. I suppose it was a little unfair of me to expect people who live farther than London to come to a meetup some two-hundred miles away in Bristol. Anyhoo, Angelique and Jack said they couldn’t make and Charlotte was having some doubts about coming, it wasn’t until this week that she booked her tickets.
This is also the week that I got my first job at Sainsbury’s but I’ll talk about that in later. It is how relevant to this story, a little. My first shift is this Friday, 10:30 - 2:30, bang in the middle of Tweetup West — looks like I’m gonna be missing it, this is just how bad my organisation is.
I’m not worried about missing it all too much if I’m honest; I just worry that Charlotte will be okay. She’s never been to Bristol before and Chris can’t make it so she’ll be all alone when she come in to Temple Meads at 12:30 this Friday. Thankfully Kurt, Oscar, and possibly Tory will be there to meet her and then I can meet up with them at Tweetup West when I arrive.
Ho hum.
As well as the ‘In The Summertime’ playlist, I decided I’d write a list of all the things I would like to (but probably won’t get around to doing) this summer.
- Go on holiday // This one is a dead cert. The family and I are off for a week to Goodrington/Paington/Torbay — I’m gonna feel like a kid again; it was always one of our top destinations when I was younger.
- Get a job // This I cannot see happening if I’m honest, but it sure would be nice. I’ve applied to a few places already with no success, and not many are hiring at all. [Looks like I got a job after all. I'm a checkout dude in Sainsbury's]
- Barbecue // We’ve already had a couple this year, and I guess this is just hoping the weather stays good enough for more.
- Read- a lot // As I’ve got nothing else to do I can see this being possible. There is nothing better than reading a good book by the pool or on the beach; I’m currently reading Stephen King’s ‘Misery’. I want some more stuff to read, so let me know if you know of anything.
- Have a moviemarathon™ // Mr. Hanks may be coming back out as I need something to watch now that I’ve almost finished watching ‘House’. [Did this with Tor last night ]
- Photograph // I want to photograph more people as I don’t really get a chance to. Holiday should be a chance to do this.
- Not worry about my GCSEs // This is one thing that is not going to happen. I worry too much and the closer it gets to the results day, the more worried I seem to get.
- Coffee // This may seem a bit loser-ish, but blame Oscar— he suggested it. I guess coffee is just an excuse to meet up with friends to make sure we don’t lose contact, and there’s the fact that Pret’s coffee is amazing /trufax! [I met up for coffee with Oscar and Charlie, and then we went for coffee with Chris and Charlotte during Tweetup West]
- Bike ride // This would mean getting my bike fixed, but I think it would be a lot of fun. The county is literally 5 miles away from my house and cycling over to there with my camera would be awesome. Just gotta see if I can drag some lazy people with me.
- Picnic // I have never had a planned, proper picnic with friends. [Did this last week, it may not have been as planned as I would have liked, but it was a picnic and it was with friends].
- Fishing // I went mackerel fishing with school on camp way back when and I’ve always wanted to try it again — can’t see it happening though.
- Paintballing // I’ve always been too much of a pussy to try this as everyone has said it hurts, maybe this year is the time to actually do it.
- Learn guitar // Duncan, master of the acoustic, has made me want to learn the guitar badly. Being able to play Ryan Adam’s ‘I See Monsters’ would be epic.
- Tweetup // Tweetup West is coming up and I hope all the awesome people I chat to on a day to day basis are coming. [The tweetup wasn't really a success, but it was darn fun hanging out with Chris and Charlotte <3]
I feel so dirty leaving the list at
8 12 13 14, but I think that is all I can think of that I would like to do this summer. I might add some more if people come up with some good suggestions like
Chris and
Oscar did.
