Twickenham- where dreams are made............

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-30 – 00:22:50

Just a short post today- i hope.
I'm rather excited (though that doesn't take much) because I'm going to London in a few days to go and watch my school's team play rugby. There are a few things you have to understand about this.
1) I don't have much of a clue about Rugby at all, i just wanted to go to London, and there are some people in the team i know.
2) My best friend is hoping some of the players are hot so that will be a small consolation for getting up at 4.00 am to drive down to London in time to watch a sport which looks to me like a huge fight.
3) Despite these things, I'M STILL EXCITED because i will get to wear lots of blue eye make up and paint my face.

The reason why this post is called 'Twickenham- where dreams are made' is because all the simple country folk around and about here seem to think that London is some kind of fantasy land (they don't get out much). It's kinda like this- if you can't take your sheep with you, you don't go. This rules out most interesting places. Obviously, i'm excited for the team for getting to final of this national competition and i suppose playing the final at Twickenham is a big deal for them, and of course, i want to support them (that's why i'm going) even if it means being up at all hours, and looking really stupid (that doesn't make much of a change!).
And, London is an amazing place - i want to go and live there when i'm older because i'm sick of the countryside, but for some reason all this rushing around screaming about it sounds all a bit hectic for those poor farmers! It's not good for them - normally it's front page news if an animal escapes, so this MUST be too much.

Anyway, like i've said, i'm probably as excited as anyone, even if it's just a rugby match, and now i've written this i've just realised how contradictary this is for talking about over-exited farmers when i'm over-excited, so excuse me for writing a load of complete bollocks. My only excuse is that listening to IAMX and trying to write this at 3.00am is not a good combination, but i seem to write that on every post (or something similar).

The point of this post was basically a warning- if in the next few days i post raving about how wonderful London is, simply for existing, then the rugby has gone to my head, and i can't take any more of being trapped in 'cow-muck county'. If i have a good time there, i'll definately blog about it, so beware.

So much for a short post!

Mighty Boosh Movie- what we've all been waiting for...

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-28 – 00:56:03

Ok. Well as i'm sure any self-respecting Boosh fan will know Noel and Julian have signed a deal with BBC films (or something like that) to make a Mighty Boosh Film.

I'm VERY excited about this.

YAY!

If it's good i reckon my life may be complete.....

Anyway, after my brother broke this wonderful news to me about a month ago, I thought I'd better blog about it and see what everyone else thinks. I doubt I'll know much more than the rest of you (i'll probably know less), but here goes.
As far as i'm aware the whole thing's a bit mysterious, but i suppose it's early days so what do i expect?!

Apparently, there's all sorts of people that they want to be in it, despite the boosh being adament that they don't want any 'pointless celebrities' in it: they have to be 'icons', and they have to be cleverly 'written into the script'. As far as i know, Noel wants Mick Jagger to be in it as well as Gary Numan (that'd be consistent with series 3 if he's shut in a cupboard!). Apparently Steve Coogan may also be in it seen as he's wanted to be in it for a while and hasn't he produced it or something in the past? I reckon even though some people have told me that all these celebrities will ruin it, i really can't decide whteher they're right or not, because part of me thinks that these type of people have always been part of the show- i mean, in series 1 they even put in that Brian Ferry brought Vince up in a forest, even if Brian Ferry was just Julian with two chins and a wierd hairstyle! And all sorts have people have been in it already!

This sounds like a lot to get excited about but there's one major drawback. Obviously, they've got the tour to do at the end of this year (which is brilliant too -even if i don't get to see them) and so they reckon they'll start work on the film after that.
So......... effectively, this means we may have to wait a loooooooooooooong time before we actually get to see it. I've heard that we're likely to be able to go and see it at the end of next year!
I don't know if i can wait that long!
People seem to be criticizing it a lot at the moment, because they think the film will be crap. I think if it was i wouldn't care, because i seem to be so deluded now that whatever they do i will like it.

The only thing that properly bothers me about the film is that the boosh might try and change to appeal to an american audience. This probably isn't likely, but seen as films are normally released in America first, then they might have to. This would be such a shame, because (no offence to any american booshers) i'm sure everyone will agree that would completely ruin it.

Anyway I hope i'm not the only one overly excited about all this booshy action, and if you have any more information then comment because after writing this i'm now more confused than i have ever been about it! Sorry if i've confused you too- this probably doesn't make any sense, i've been trying to write this at 1.42 am while listenening to RiD ( i don't multi-task very well).

Wow. That was a long post!

Boosh Marathon....................

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-23 – 01:45:03

This is just a short post i expect, compared to the past few scribblings you've had to put up with on here........................................

ANYWAY!
I just want to express once again my undying love for the Mighty Boosh - Noel Fielding and Julian Barrat you're amazing!
Did anyone watch the boosh marathon on bbc three??? or was it just me sad enough to do it!!?? I've been up all night watching episode after episode.....that's why i'm on here so late (but then again it always seems to be really late). Anybody got a favorite episode, because i've got about ten favourites!!

We've got all three series and the live show on dvd, and i still never get bored of it! It seems to be the only program on tv that has this affect on me- even though i know the story, i'll still watch everything! Is that healthy? actually, that's a stupid question, i already know i have an unhealthy obsession to start with!

Despite this i'm still so depressed that i won't get to see them live!! *sniff* I've tried to get tickets but they've all been eaten up so quickly! and living in the wild wilderness of wherever this wierd countryside-place is where i happen to be, my parents aren't exactly going out-of-their-way to get them!! not fair... i'll just have to go and cry for a very long time, until i get over myself!

Anyway, just to say boosh i love you, and for anyone who is unaware of this work of genius you are seriously missing out! boosh it -up baby!! rawr!!

Love the boosh!?-- then you should hate sugar-puffs........

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-22 – 02:05:48

For anyone who is obsessed with the world of the Mighty Boosh, it is a sad day.
I am utterly shocked! Gobsmacked even! Sorry, give me a minute to recover and I'll explain what the hell I'm blathering on about......................

Has anyone seen the sugar-puffs advert with the song in it????? because if you have I'm sure you will have noticed that it's a totally blatent rip-off of the soup song! if you haven't seen it, just imagine the soup song but all the soup references changed to sugar-puffy references, and prince at the end changed to princess and stuff like that, and there you have it. A totally 'original' sugar-puffs advert!!!!

When i first saw it thanks to a clever blogger who posted it (so thank you) it took me a minute to realise how bad it was. I'm sure everyone thinks this is a huge overreaction but as far as i'm concerned i think the boosh are right to take legal action, i'm behind them all the way. I can't believe they could do this so obviously and it even get this far without someone picking up on it. Besides, if it was a more mainstream show (which the boosh is fast becoming grrrr..., but thats another rant for another day) then it wouldn't have even been thought about, but because only the coooooooolest among us have been enlightened to the boosh (or thats how it used to be anyway) they think it'll be alright!

Of all the things they were going to rip off? The soup song is one of the boosh's best known crimps, (or that's what i think, seen as some people who don't really watch it that much can sing the soup song back to me) and even then, it's not as if they couldn't have thought of a completely different little song, as long as it wasn't AT ALL like the boosh format. Better still, they could just have thought of their own ideas for a stupid advert, INSTEAD OF STEALING the boosh's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BETTER STILL, they could just stop making sugar puffs??????

I never thought i'd say this, but i've never been so angry with a breakfast cereal in my entire life! If something isn't done very soon i'll have to take matters into my own hands: kidnap the honey monster and feed him all-bran for breakfast........ i know it's harsh, but it's what he deserves................................................RAWR!!!

rant over.

Help!?.....am I saying the right thing???

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-21 – 01:52:47

Ok. So it's the day before the Easter Holidays- everyone in the entire school is bouncing of the walls. Except me.
I'm so worried for this poor girl. She's kind-of my friend, as in we talk on msn and when i see her I normally sit with her but we don't have many lessons together so it's maybe just once a week. Anyway, I was attempting the impossible and trying to do my coursework while chatting on msn (which is never a good idea, but we all do it) when I got a really odd message from this friend (i'm not naming names because i'm just about to post this so the entire world can read it).
She just said 'Am I good at anything?'. At first I thought she'd accidently started a conversation with me and really meant to send this to someone else, but it turned out she was asking my advice. She told me she was feeling really left out and isolated by her friends (who i know and i used to be part of that group until this type of thing started where they would single out one person) and she asks ME (!?) the one person who managed to be in the dark about how nasty certain people were for a grand total of three years before having the light painfully shone in my eyes then the torch thrown at me if you get the metaphor (which you probably don't seen as none of this makes any sense). Anyway, back to the point, this girl was so unhappy. I would have said they were bullying her really, but for some reason it sounds a bit over-dramatic. I can see it clearly now- now that I'm looking for it. They don't just insult her, but they bitch about her- to her face- you know the way girls do, all huddle up in a corner to make themselves look important and included, then point and stare at the subject of the conversation. Except these girls talk just loud enough so that everyone can just about hear, although it still sounds like a private conversation.
Looking over, as an outsider, I can see that they're doing it almost as a warning- they make it obvious enough so that everyone else knows that if they get on the wrong side of them, this will happen to you. It must be horrendous: to have what is basically continuous insults from the people you're supposed to trust most in the world- your friends. The worst thing is they do it because they know she won't retaliate. She said 'It's really breaking me.' But i don't really know what that's supposed to mean.

I just wanted to cry for her. As far as I know,she's not perfect, she boasts about beating everyone in exams, but i presume she doesn't deserve this (although i don't really know her that well) and ok, she's a bit of a nerd, but that just demonstrates my point in the previous post about everyone wanting to be 'random'.

And I've no idea what to do- I'd say something, but like I say in my profile I'm too shy, and to tell the truth I'm probably to selfish. I told her if she was ever on her own she could always come and hang around with me and my two best friends, (even though i don't think they'd be too happy) and that if she ever needed a chat I'd be there. I said she should just be herself and let people like her for who she is, but not let herself be a doormat.

But it sounds like I've reeled off a load of advice from every problem page in every magazine in the world. Is it enough?

Why do people always try to be 'random' when really they're just not?!???

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-21 – 00:47:47

It's the middle of the night. I can't sleep. so I thought let's blog.
I've been thinking, how do you know whether someone is really what they say they are?
I mean, everyone is always trying to be cool or popular, and even if they say they're not then they're only saying that because they think that by acting like they don't care will make them cool and popular. Maybe it's just a school thing. but it's definately there. I'm sick of everyone pretending to be 'wierd' and 'random' just because they think everyone will like them if they act 'slightly retarded' as they like to call it. In the end, they're not being random or wierd at all, because everypne's acting like that so in the end you're just doing what everyone else is doing, so you're not wierd or random at all. There are people who I've known for years now, who I'd never have described as 'random' but for some reason, that's what they're all telling me: 'omigosh! i'm sooooooooo random'.
I reckon if you really were wierd/mental/random you'd have the piss ripped out of you at my school- i know, i'm guilty of doing that myself. I just don't get it, if you're only friends with people because they're supposedly mad and unpredictable, then do you really know them?
I'd say not.
People should like you for who you really are- not because you happen to be 'random' which seems to be the most important thing in the world right now.
I know of course that everyone'll have some moment when you say something stupid, or totally irrelevant and your friends joke about it for a while, but I don't see why it has to be all the time!!!!
What really gets me is when you can tell somone's just saying this type of stuff so they can 'get in' with certain people, but maybe that's just because I'm bitter and twisted from my past experiences with so called 'friends'.
It seems like everyone's trying so hard to be random/wierd they forget you. If you're not random enough for them they've forgotten your name within hours because they're just 'sooooooo random/wierd', but I have issues with people who try too hard to be something they're not anyway.

I suppose I'd better round this off now seen as anyone who's not got so bored that they've stopped reading soon will.

(by the way you might think I'm being a bit of a hippocrite seen as many people would say that all that stuff about Andy was pretty 'random' but that really is what my little brother told me, and I was genuinely frightened by that. Then again, I'm scared of loads of things.)

The Academy Is....?

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-18 – 18:01:06

Hey.

I've recently dicovered a band called the Academy is...( you lot have probably all heard about this and i've just been sitting in a little box, facing the wall for a loooong time).
Anybody know anything about them?

I don'y really know how to describe them, but if i had a go i'd probably say they were alternative/ kinda punky at a push. The only songs I've heard so far are: the 'Phrase that Pays', 'Classifieds', and 'Everything We Had' and so far I've really liked them all...

Also, is it just me who thinks the singer is quite hot?
QUITE good looking but not way Noel Fielding hot.

Anybody know any good songs i can listen to?
These are a good band aren't they, and I'm not just going mental!

Here are some pictures, see what you think.....

i also love mindless self indulgence, the used, and am kinda into the horrors etc, crystal castles, you know, most electro stuff really of course Robots in Disguise, but this is a bit more alternative / rocky- so its a bit different for me...

On second listening, I've just realised how 'poppy' this band sounds. Nothing like MSI so if you like them and have a VERY limited taste in music then you won't like this. They sound a bit like 'Fall out boy' so I may have gone off them a bit. It was a temproary lapse. I apologize...some of the songs are still good- i reckon the best one is 'we've got a big mess on our hands'.

aNdY.......??? a pretty wierd 2nd post..........

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-17 – 23:00:07

Andy is my brother's imaginary friend. Andy apparently watches me while i sleep. Andy has half a face- the other half is a toad anus.
Andy used to have a pet which was a straw kangaroo... until it set on fire. Andy now has a pet moulded from shower gel, to keep his andy-money for him. Andy-money is sand and gravel, so gardens are rich in andy-money.
Andy can sit on people's laps and backs without them knowing. Andy is ALWAYS 'over there'.
I think Andy is creepy.
He scares me- doesn't he scare you?!?!???

And yeah, doesn't he sound like Charlie from the boosh?

Except................
I don't think he's made of bubblegum................ who knows?????

1st post...here goes.............

by xElectro-girlx @ 2008-03-16 – 23:41:41

Hey,
this is my first blog so i don't reallly know what to write about, i'm just a girl....in love with the mighty boosh, and indie/alternative/emo/punky/nu-rave/electroclash music.

I know it sounds strange but i suppose setting this up is a new thing, to start a new attitude to life. I set this up so I can just vent my feelings somtimes, because I know how it feels to keep some things bottled up - everyone needs to be able to let it out, even if it's just onto a computer screen.

I hope you won't get bored with all this or any of my posts, even though i know i tend to ramble a bit.

I hope i sound like a 'real' person too, and not just showing off or trying to be cool, because this is what it's supposed to be about isn't it? Sharing your feelings, even if it's totally anon. and does anyone really want to know about what's going on in my little world?

Anyway, i've done it now- no going back.
I've no idea what this blog's gonna be about..sad? happy? wierd? who knows.... probably just all the stupid shizzle floating about in my head! Anyways if you like it, leave me a comment!
