Exam Results

Busy every morning this week. I'm a leader at a Church holiday club, so I suffered the tease of my exam results waiting for me for two hours before I could make it home.

My Dad sent me a PICTURE OF THE ENVELOPE to make it even worse for me.

And the moment I opened that thang, it was an overloaded blast of information. I wish they told you each subject on individual pages. It was just all thrown at me. Months of back and forth pondering my success; "I did this so I got a 1! But wait, I missed that out...". All launched at me with one conclusion...

But it didn't disappoint.

From my two last prelims, I got grade 3's for Maths. Grade 4 3 usually which would become a 3. I GOT A 1 FOR MATHS!!! YAY! I got a 1 for English and Physics also. 2's for Physics, Drama, Graphic Communication, Art.

And of course, a 5 for French - which I TRIED to fail.

Most of my friends all did well. Everyone's chuffed.

In my school, there is an Achievement award in each subject per year group. In other words, only one person gets it for a subject in their year group. If you get one, it means you're the best in that subject in your year group. There are also three Endeavour awards per subject, per year group. These are awarded for people who made a runner up effort.

But, in all schools, there is the girl that steals all the gold. She gets all the achievements and top marks in all exams. We have one. 

At the award ceremony, the Deputy Head reads her name out:

"Achievment in Chemistry, Maths, Geography, Home Economics, French, Computing Studies and Endeavour in English, RMPS and Physical Education" and she walks accross proudly, collects her cerificate, and by the time she is offstage and nowhere to be seen - her awards are still being announced.
Next, my friend's name is announced and the Deputy Head says:
"Endeavour in Home Economics". He was finished talking before he had even reached his certificate. There was a brief applause that died to nothing just as he collected his reward and sheepishly paced offstage.


True story.


Miss Perfect here that I was talking about got all 1's in her exams and an A. She worked for it! She deserved it! But did she really deserve all of those achievements? Personally, I don't think she did! I mean really, there is no way that she is the best in the year group in all of those subjects! There are over 100 people in my year group and she stole the best for HALF of the subjects? That is ridiculous! AND it caused other pupils dire embarassment.


Well done to her highness for getting such good grades. I'm not jealous or anything, but my social life is fantastic and I didn't spend all of my time studying religiously. I traded study time for the benefit of general life experience. No one needs all 1's in their subjects - that's if they even need those grades at all...


I'm just happy that I studied an enjoyable amount and didnt force myself to study when I didn't want to. I enjoyed the exam leave more than the summer holidays and still got credit grades for the subjects im taking to higher!


So I don't know about you, but I think I did better than Miss Perfect.

For the record or past reference, I am a sixteen year old Scot living in a horrible village with a fantastic history. I make videos as a main hobby - from parody documentries to short films; I aspire to a lengthy career in the film industry.

My sixteenth birthday was a few days ago and so I decided to make this blog subsequently. 

With this blog, I intend to flamboyantly share my interests, rants and experiences.

I'm a bit of a wierd kind of nerd. This is because I watch movies and think about the cinematographic and editing techniques in play. My favourite musician is Hans Zimmer. I would often rather listen to the soundtrack of a game than actually play the game. I abhor generic behaviour. I use words like 'abhor' naturally. I find fun in making videos, attending energetic church events and belittling people that think they are better than me. 
I can also freely admit that if I read this in 5-10 years time, I will probably curl up into a cringing prune; because, predictably, 'Cool' will have found a new definition in me. This means also that perhaps my intelligence will decrease, given that I am able to make that prediction now.

I've had an interesting past. At the beginning, I was born with a gigantic lump on my head. I believe this lump was the symptom of having larger brain capacity than the norm. My personal evidence for the aforementioned lump symptom is that I seem to be able to remember moments from the days before walking was possible for me - unlike most people. I also remembered my house being black and green. The house was actually white and red - the opposite colours of black and green. 
I started using a computers when I was about five years old, making drawings on MS Paint. From then I have developed my computer skills. My typing speed is faster than anyone I know. I improved not because I wanted to be good with computers, but because I loved them and became obsessed with using them.
In my earlier days, we lived in a town nearer the city centre. My memory tells me that my life there was a pleasurable haven of fun and luxury - the reality is that it was a brown council flat spat on by intimidating anti-social behaviour: and the television was never on. Yet I thoroughly enjoyed my first two and a half years there. 
After this, we moved away from the city and to an enchanted bungalow in a small ex mining village. The move and my uncomplete potty training course meant that I missed a year of nursery - I had only one year. Everyone else got two.
Most of my Primary school career after this was a boring blur.


Brought up in a Christian family, I have never consciously, physically stolen. Admitabally I have downloaded some music illegaly, 'here and there', nothing out of a shop or anything though. In my lifetime I have sworn very few times. I am also really nice. Since birth I have generally referred to myself at least a 'Basic Christian'. People will say that being one only introduces limits to lifes enjoyment - but I have found quite the contrary. My social life, for instance. I have spent lots of time with degenerate underachievers that weren't Christians. Usually in this environment, you are targeted or forced to bully someone. The atmosphere isn't nice at all. Now, however, I have lots of Christian friends. When you spend time with them, everyone is easy going, no-one is bullied and we all have a fantastic hilarious fun time. Such an experience would require large measures of alcohol with those other people. Not only can I enjoy life without melting my brain, I can be with friends comfortably without the worry of being targeted or unpredictabally turned on. 
And those are just the social benefits.
Incidently, my current Non-Christian friends are great people. Most of them believe in a God but sort of, 'leave it at that'.


Three years ago, my nerdiness wen't through the roof. I found YouTube. It is absolutely the coolest website on the internet. At the time I had no social life (which is understandable) and spent most of my time on the computer, but this time earned me an audience of 1,600 people. By day a bully victim, by night an adored celebrity. Some of which absolutely adored me. I did this by making silly animations that people liked. The numbers got higher, higher. The hundreds of thousands of views allowed me to start making money for my videos. FOR STICKFIGURES! I was building a career! I was part of the most successful stickfigure animation group on youtube that I made with a friend. My accidentally popular memes had everyone savouring the stickfigure animation hayday on youtube.
But then, like most good things, it died. People lost interest in stickfigures. I left my legacy early last year. This is when I moved on to film work - and I am still working at that now. 
 I didn't visually reveal myself until last year as before this I avoided exposing my piglike self. Fortunately adolescent development and orthodontal support has fed me the confidence I needed to show myself. I had to start the climb from scratch again, entering into a different market, but I was getting there. At this point, there was high demand for me to begin animating again. So I said I'd make a comeback. And I was making it, right before my computer was hacked after I downloaded a trojan - like someone who hadn't been using computers for over 10 years. I had to start from scratch. For the third time. This time, I was lucky enough to have one of my favourite, top 100 youtubers subscribe to me on two of his accounts, tweet two of my videos AND comment on my videos! How awesome is that? My video made the front page of youtube for 30 seconds which gave me about 50 subscribers, and so on, I got back on track.


Then, I turned 16 and joined blogger.
Hello guys.
