Hey people!
Sigh... the death month is nearing its end. Thank goodness.
And sadly, it has lived up to its name; Toulouse, my loyal companion I've owned for nearly twelve years, was put down on the 21st. It's really sad.
Still, it's not characteristic of me to stay down in the dumps :) besides, with this unfortunate death, there was a blessing of the birth of the kittens earlier this month as well. They're growing up so fast! In fact, the video's up on Youtube now, if you haven't looked at it. Search "Pikachu Galileo Scaramouche Garfield" or something like that, you should see it. I warn you, the quality of sound and light is pretty bad with the recording camera, but you can't have everything!
So how are you?! Well, in the course of since the last time I've blogged, a lot has happened.
The biggest achievement so far for me is probably surviving the concert on Friday, that was scary, what with actually having to play my first solo piece to everyone who came (thanks to all my friends who did come, Rose, Ellie, Alice... the lot of ya XD)!
Then, up there with that, I GOT A SENIOR PREFECT INTERVIEW! Quite chuffed (is that the positive terminology? I get mixed up with "chuffed" and "gutted", they're so similar! *rolls eyes*)! Interview's next Wednesday. Good luck to all the others who managed to get this far :)
Plus, last time I blogged I was still on holiday. I'm back now. Whoop-dee. What better way to celebrate than with a Spanish oral?! Well, that said, it wasn't TOO disastrous. Just used the same words over and over (oh, they were good ones though!) so hopefully if they can overlook the overloading of this, then I should - in theory - be okay!
Birthday shoutouts to Alice last Saturday, and Rose tomorrow! WOO!
So, may May bring more happiness to you all.
And to the person involved who I know probably won't be celebrating too much due to a truly horrific incident recently, my thoughts go to you, and if you ever want to talk about it, I'm right here :)
Love you ALL! (except you and you and you)
Jimbob! xoxoxox

The Easter Bloggy
Hey guys! I'm back from Spain! Miss meh? Thought not XD
So yeah, the past couple of weeks have been absolutely phenomenal. There was Spain, and before that I helped out with the cast of We Will Rock You at the College of West Anglia. Great guys, and they absolutely rock.
I'd probably even consider performing that if our school were to do it... only problem being that it contains rather a lot of swearing XD it even says that everyone from I'm A Celebrity are "a bunch of twats", haaa!!! But seriously, I enjoyed it, and I'm actually quite interested in the music of Queen because of it. Nice one, guys!
But now onto the most interesting part of my life so far... well, this holiday, anyway :> SPAIN!
Man, it rocked.
The family? ROCKED. The food? ROCKED. The partying? SUCKED (well, the sangria was quite nice actually, so the terminology "sucked" is a compliment because it's on a higher end of the spectrum...). The views? ROCKED. The activities? PRETTY GOOD. The weather? MEH.
However, the main thing that twisted it for me were - trying, and failing, to not be cliched here - my friends :> Matthew, Vince, Emily, Catherine, Emily (from another school), Sammy, Kim... oh to heck with it, they were all awesome!
Either way, I learnt so much about myself and others. For instance, I feared that I was quite lacklustre (or is it lacklustER? I dunno!) in terms of general passion. Sloth kinda does that to you, you don't give a damn either way about a lot of things. But it hit me on the final night (last night) when me, Matthew and Vince just stood in the Plaza Mayor, staring at the lights for one last time. Absolutely amazing, and I actually cried.
There is some sentiment behind my cold logic :>
But yeah, and also it's Easter. Happy Easter! And yes, I will hopefully be uploading photos later to do with the Salamanca trip, if you really wanna see them. And even if you don't, I do :P

Blog of Rascalness
Hey guys!
So anyway, it's been one whole month since I made a decent blog! Well, decent to my standards... how would I know? It's not as if anyone reads this anymore! XD
Ladies and gentlemen, if you're reading this, you ARE actually in the cubby-hole that is my brain. This blog is just a way of getting things off my chest and spewing all kinds of stuff that's automatically classified as heartfelt by me.
Speaking of which, I thought I might as well start with some heartfelt stuff (coincidence much?!)
Anyway, the last couple of weeks have been rather eventful... you probably read my whinging about March being a busy month. Well, that's completely out of the way now :> and to be honest, even though there were many successes as of recent, what with the play and the concert and all, I actually kinda feel indifferent. Why? Because I'm too bloody nakered. Plus, of all the contemplation I do, I haven't really gone back to contemplating everything that's happened as of recent. Too much stuff to do, what with exams and everything.
Yep. The Easter holidays have arrived. Bring on the revision.
Alas, it's not all black-and-white good-slash-badness. There've been other things keeping me going and knocking me back as well. For instance, in typical Jimmeh rascal fashion (*cheesy grin*) I've professed my love to yet another person. Lo and behold, I find she's actually got a boyfriend.
In some respects, that's a Godsend. I mean, it could have ended badly. And seeing my track record of these kind of things... yeah, my esteem on that matters isn't actually that high, no matter how high it may seem.
But yes, I've made a new friend, and it also seems that as I asked her out, she still wants to stay friends. For that, I genuinely respect her, no matter how much I rue the situation deep down(!).
The Samuel Beckett plays were successful, the concert truly was kinda cool, applied for both Senior and Form Prefect in the end, and in terms of definite occurrences, that's about as far as it went. Oh yeah, and I saw Watchmen.... Yeah, I didn't follow the storyline a lot. But then again, it was a Saturday night, I was nakered, but it was pretty good eye candy.
In truth, I'd never even heard of Watchmen before the film came out. It was only when Eddy sent me a link to the trailer and the opening credits that I thought that it looked pretty damn good.
And speaking of pretty damn good, I'm going to Thorpe Park on Sunday!!! CAN'T WAIT :>
And on top of that, it's another Spanish trip to the area of Salamanca on the 5th! I am so lucky... though on the other hand, that all contributes to less time for revision. Even though I'll be going to Spanish School in Salamanca... Simply Splendid! (oh come on, I was bound to put something else cheesy in this blog... this IS me we're talking about :P)
But yes, that is the situation of my life at the moment, as I type into this and watch an orchestra perform "To Zanarkand" on my iPod (from Final Fantasy X... wasn't too keen on the game, but when you see a large orchestra perform it, and not only that but make it seem extremely beautiful, it really makes you remember the true beauty of music. In my opinion, another reason why I absolutely adore life. But that's just me...)
Chances are I'll be blogging in another half month to express my feelings on stuff. But will miss you all in Salamanca!
Love to all!

Blog of Normalness
Hey!
So here I am, in the centre of normality... which, as you probably know by now, is HELL to keep up with!
I'm trying to think of anything intelligent to say... failing miserably... it's all after preparations of a debate speech for tomorrow. "This house believes that under-21's should not consume alcohol". And I think I have tons of useful, fantastic statistics on the matter... haven't really linked them in any way...
And by the way, before you start bitching at me, "oh why haven't you updated in a long time lol lol", I tried. The internet closed on me!
So, sorry for the short, rubbishy blog. Oh well :>
Laters.

Blog of the Change of Seasonness + Abe Simpson rant
Hey peeps.
I'm quite happy today... It's lovely when you walk to the market through Wisbech Park (by day: quite the pleasant area when there aren't youth around... by night: dangerous like the ghetto) and it actually isn't cold! Whatsmore, you can actually smell the blooming flowers!
And for the record, that's not me trying to shield a swear word. If I was, I wouldn't bother. I refer to the gerundio form of the verb "to bloom".
......Because sometimes AS-level languages can tip your vocabulary in English to the point of no-one caring!
With that happily put aside, it has been half term... and I have spent most of it without the internet. Oh well, the withdrawal symptoms luckily haven't set in. However there's so much stuff I need to download.
Legally, thank you very much :P.
Not that you want me to list my iTunes list. That would make one awful blog. But let's just say I'm moving away from my modern rock, and starting to hit on the '90s stuff. Because if there's one thing I absolutely adore, it's nostalgia.
I'm seventeen going on one hundred and seventeen, it seems. Ouch.

To be honest, I can't think of anything else to write, so I'm just gonna list some things that annoy me. Heck, maybe you'll learn something new about me.
- Those texts/messages that have a really pointless story that usually involves a teenager finding love and then breaking it off, or some scary story about the creepy death of some fictional character. Why? Because what often follows is "Send tihs messsgae 2 evry1 u no!!1!1one!" And to be honest, I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO WASTE MY CREDIT AND TIME ON... like Persona 3: FES... shut up...
- Chick Flicks. They mainly have a really pointless story that usually involves a teenager finding love and then breaking it off, or some scary story about the creepy death of some fictional character. Well, maybe not the latter part of that... but my point still stands.
- People who take the piss out of other people. However much they may or may not deserve it.
- Celebrities who sell their stories to give themselves more money than they already have. However, as much as I hate to admit it, I do agree that Jade Goody's idea of getting money for her children through this isn't too much of a bad idea...
- ...unfortunate for her that I'm adding her to this list. Oops!
- The poetic form of teenage angst. I'm not saying that teenage angst is such a bad thing, because I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel it now and again. However I hate the following:
- Sentences with no purpose with a full stop.
- Sentencesthathavenospacesandafullstop.
- Selling the angst for popularity.
- When people have a completely different alter ego that are ONLY about angst. - Robert Pattinson fans. CHANGE THE SUBJECT!
- The fact that the newest Guitar Hero game features so much emo music. Guitar Hero is the game for people who want to play guitars. And feel cool about it. Kay?
And that sums up my Grandpa Abraham Simpson rant. Who knows, I might make more in the future.
Till then, stay classy San Diego. Jimbob xxxoxoxox

Blog of Laborousnessness
Snow... the white sugary stuff that canes like hell when compacted into... um... compact (for lack of a better word) three-dimensional amoebas that our species lob at others of our species for fun.
Unfortunately I haven't thrown very many this time round. Although I have discovered that the kittens like eating them!
Still, it absolutely sucked yesterday that most of the one day off I could get was spent doing Chemistry homework. Man that was hard. At least it was handed in on time :>
Either way, I'm at the age when snowball fights just aren't really that exciting anymore! Snowman building, however, ROCKS. I didn't do one of them, unfortunately, but I did make handprints in Wisbech Park, just to see if I could hear some people's reactions... I couldn't, but I still found some of them in the ground when I walked in it today :>
That made me smile :)
Chinese food also makes me smile. How can anyone not like Chicken Chow Mein? [except for those vegetarians... they just don't know what they're missing...] And shredded crispy spicy beef. If only that could be abbreviated.
"SCSB". Sounds like a game in which Pikachu can kick the hell out of Super Mario and Princess Zelda... oh wait, that's "SSBB". Oh well.
You may have figured that I'm experimenting with a new writing style tonight. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid I've hit the stage of only checking the blog sites about once every two weeks. Only one of the people I follow frequently updates their blogs. And to be honest, I'm starting to hit that point in my own blog in which I'm actually losing interest in everything I'm writing.
Probably because you all are too! Just as well, really.
How am I? Actually, quite happy :>
Anyway, enough. I'm bored, and several people are MSNing me.
Gotta blast!

Blog of "Miss me?"ness
Wow, I really am cutting down on the blogs... don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Then again, I don't know how many people read these. Maybe it's more beneficial to me because nobody's reading the bloody things...
...either way, it helps to clarify my trail of thoughts sometimes. And sometimes it completely screws it up. I dunno.
Anyway, HEY!
So yeah, life, as usual, is pretty good at the minute. Mocks came out so-so (A, B, B, D... yes, ladies and gentlemen, the afro can have its off days :P), I had my first driving test today!!! It was so cool... went from the Walton Road area through Terrington St. Clement BACK to my own house! I mean... that's quite the adrenaline rush for me, considering I didn't go too far above 30mph the whole time...
Whatsmore, its success is marked by the fact that I'm still right here with everything still mobile :)
Anyway, today I'm resolved to myself to actually make a blog out of this. Y'know, not one of those short ones. Woop.
And some thoughts have been occurring to me, what with a change in behaviour I've noticed in some people... do people see me as arrogant? Or very VERY confident of myself? Or alternative state of mind that comes across as unsettling?
Answers on a postcard please. Or over MSN or blog comment. I promise I won't take offence, 'specially because I would very much like to know. Just lay off the heavy insults, please :>
But yes, I just can't help but get the feeling that I'm being hinted at here.
To all of those I've hurt or offended (or alternative), I sincerely apologise.
If it's any consellation, I don't love myself. I have many faults, many of which I wish I could change. And who knows, maybe some of them I can actually change. But is there anything wrong with having a positive outlook on life? I can fully accept that in some cases it may be quite the opposite, and understandably so. Not everyone has "easy" lives (though that said, mine isn't), and I suppose I should be more thankful for having such great opportunities and experiences.
I'm not perfect. If you think I think otherwise, you're seriously wrong.
*sigh* I don't know... am I too overpowering in my happiness?
C'est une enigma pour moi. (Enigma, coincidentally, is my favourite Gladiator. Not that you really needed to know that, but, y'know...)
So yes. Off my chest. Long live the blog. Hallelujah.
Right, so it seems 2009's proving to have gotten off to a better start this year than last. So far so good. Heath and Cathy are growing up to be right characters, and Toulouse and Ayla are starting to go with the new flow now. Good for them :>
And with that, and with a lack of things to say, I'm off!
Adios amigos, laters homes, Charmander char. Diddly.

PS: thanks a LOT to eddy who got bored and put up a non-functioning website in my honour. You rock :P the address: www.jimmehisasexybeast.com . Who'd've thought...
PPS: Yes, I'm aware that the PS very much contradicts the rest of the blog. I suppose if I made the website in my honour it would be a different story... anyway, sorry if you're now getting the idea that I'm a hypocrite.
PPPS: I'll shut up now :> BYE! xxxx
