being like, hiya, I’m trying to get some work experience with an ad agency cause I wanna be a copywright and yours is really good so can you give me some advice on how to get work experience with you’s? (wink wink nudge nudge just fucking give me some i dont need paid) It was worded well, and he was like, write a portfolio. I KNOW I NEED A PORTFOLIO YOU FUCK BUT IF YOU LET ME COME WORK WITH YOUS I CAN START CREATING ONE. 

Ken how if at first you dont succeed try try again? I’m more like give it a half arsed attempt and if you dont get the result you wanted find another ambition..

Right, I went to go see titanic last night. And it was wonderful. And I cried bucket loads, like proper sobbing, cause ken it’s me and i’ve been told I am ‘very responsive to films’. Anyways..

I know so many folk were like ‘blaaaah why would people pay extra money to go see the 3D, waaaaah they’re just trying to make more money lallalala’ and I was like, yeah, fair point, and I HATE 3D films cause its pointless and shite but I like watching films in the cinema much better so I went regardless.

And I paid my extra money.

And I bought my 3D glasses.

And I enjoyed it.

Then, when shit got real and the ship was proper sinking I started getting really angry. 
Because It suddenly dawned on me just how exploitative of a massive disaster the whole re-release was. I’m gonna be biased now in saying that maybe the original release wasn’t because I love the film, but actually, even though so much detail’s in it it’s pretty educational but as i’m writing this it totally is.
Re-releasing the film in the same month as the 100th Anniversary, in fucking 3D as well in order to encourage people to spend more money to watch a film that makes entertainment out of a disaster is so tactless and just horrible. It literally made me feel a bit sick, when i’m watching this scene where a third class passengers putting her kids to bed when she knows they’re going to die, and then I start thinking ‘that could have actually happened’ and then I just felt disgusted in myself for sitting in 3D glasses 100 years later being entertained. 

Then there’s the Belfast thing. I totally disagree with advertising the ‘home of the titanic’ as a tourism attraction, and spending all that money on the docks so that people can come and they can get more tourism and hence more money. Whilst it was one of the biggest tragedy’s of the 20th Century and yeah, museums and what not to share the history are important, it’s just so disgustingly exploitative I’m so dissapointed with myself.

And to contradict everything i’ve just said, 
you can’t deny it’s an amazing film. 

So obsessed with the hunger games i’m even ploughing through the book now and i stopped reading properly after Harry Potter. I’m so dissapointed/proud of myself.

I sometimes think friendships are based around having someone to bitch about other people to. Or to tell all your own gossip to because we have this need to tell people private things. Thats no really healthy though is it?
So many people that are friends aren’t actually pals.
You need to actually care about them for that to be the case.

This isn’t all bitter and based on anyone btw, it’s just an overall thought.
