Creativity

Ah yes, while I haven't really been spending much of my time trying to keep this updated, I'll be honest in saying there have been many reasons. Mostly, because you don't want to hear how I bit my nail and chewed on it for an hour or two, but also because of: INTERNET PROBLEMS. Yes, but I won't go into those right now. I'm leaving for Uni tomorrow, which actually means I'll only have access to the INTERNET via my University, and while it's pretty close, it's still a walk there which will ultimately mean, overall, absolutely nothing. So don't you go worrying your pretty little head about it.

I have a few things worth mentioning actually, and I'm cheating because this stuff has accumulated over a few days and is there condensed into one fantastic, mega filled blog post. First of all, a friend of mine called Ceri had her birthday a few days ago, and I missed it. God I feel like such an idiot because I knew it was the seventeenth, but of october and not the true month of September. After shooting me for it, and a trip to the ER later, I went and hung out with her for the most part of an afternoon, and we checked out Nando's. By the way, to that jerk who went there and mentioned that it sucked, I'm GLAD I didn't take your advice because it was great! Like the one in Colchester, so there you have it, Nando's doesn't suck. We had a beer, and some spicy chicken and peri peri chips, and then we went and watched Neighbours on her TV, and I am now worryingly interested in it again. I don't know who Paul Robinson is but she told me he is indestructible. We'll soon find out! Go Monday!

Other news, which bears the brunt of the focus of today's blog title, is that I started writing my Essex Uni soap script today, and I am enjoying it. I spent some time over the summer trying to figure out where to go with it, because it's a brand new idea and only if its successful will it be carried on, and then i can herald it my legacy to the Uni. I gave up a few drafts, but one bit of advice, the sort you see on television where the young kid wishes to be a good writer, and the grown up tells them to 'base it on what you know', well it worked. I just put down descriptions of the most interesting people I know, changed the names and tweaked them to live in Essex, and voila! I now have a functional and very memorable cast of characters. I can't wait to show you what I've written. We will probably hold auditions for all the main parts, something else which will be entertaining because I can be a Simon Cowell type. Maybe I'll chuck some water on the bad ones and be a Louis Walsh type instead [coincidentally, the auditions phase of X Factor is now over, meaning the same applies to my interest in the show :D]. I have also figured out an excellent and original way to kick off the show.

Related to University is my Radio show, which i am pleased to say has a big event planned for Wednesday the 4th October! I am having a singer songwriter come onto my radio show and do a set followed by an interview. You wont have heard of him, but he is up and coming in the land of Essex, and I am pleased as he seems really eager and happy to do this :) I'll keep you posted on that. Also, I have sent of my application for the press accreditation passes for the London Film Festival, so I am keeping my fingers crossed [figuratively speaking] that I get a good news response from the lovely people at Premier PR.

When i get back tomorrow night, there is word that there will be a party, of probably small proportions, involving all my excellent mate/friend types of Essex Uni, and if that is true I am all the more looking forward to going back. Also I would like to thank all two of you who read my last blog post for the positive comments. Somebody agrees with me about the oil thing, which i am so annoyed about even now! :D But at least they've stopped showing it on TV now.

Good night for now, I'll leave you with a short convo me and my friend Rach had, just as she was getting a bit tired, and me trying to help her stay awake ;)
