Re: breaking down

while im here, i thought it would be a good time to point out that i have yet to do any of the things i planned to do in "Breaking Down" but i have found some new time sinks, so its all fine I havent gone mental. or atleast, im not any more mental than usual.

I said it was a bad idea.

I tweeted about this idea, someone said it would be funny, so i did it. heres the recipe: take the questions froma random interview, remove the awsers and fill them in yourself.

For this first (and probably last) edition: New magazine's blue interview (with a few questions removed because it didn't make sense) let me know if you liked the idea, I happy to take requests over what to do on this blog.

It’s good to have you back, boys, but Eurovision – really?

Well, first of all thanks, I didn’t even realise I had gone, but to answer the question, yeah I quite like Eurovision.

Are you scared of getting “nul points”?
Oh, no well I wouldn’t ever compete in it, I can’t sing or dance.

Would you have signed up if the voting system hadn’t changed?
Um, I just said I didn’t sign up?

And Jedward are representing Ireland in the competition…
that’s already happened, they were alright they had a catchy song.

So, will you beat them?
Hey look, I know they are annoying but I could never condone violence, especially over something so trivial.

Antony, do you think you’ll, err, pee all over the competition?
Erm, just Tony actually, but no, like I said I’m wouldn’t compete.

Are you scared Eurovision could end in disaster? Your former manager, Daniel Glatman, said anything less than a win will leave your reputation in tatters…

Well he always was incredibly pessimistic, I’m not even doing it how could it ruin me? And what is there to ruin anyway? A few blog posts and an unreasonable amount of tweets? I’ve got like 12 followers I’m hardly a public figure.

Will you trawl internet forums to gauge fans’ reaction?
Fans reaction? Look if I wanted that to know what my mum thought I’d just ask her.

What’s your favourite Eurovision song?
Flying the flag. It’s brilliant.

Antony, this is your second stab at Eurovision glory, isn’t it?
Tony, and no I’ve not done Eurovision, and I never will.

So, are you all going to start working out to get in shape?
HA no I love cake too much to bother with that.

What's the funniest joke you know?

do you know that you hear jokes all the time and some says "tell us a joke" and you mind goes completely blank? yeah, well that. before i really understood how jokes worked i remeber laughing till it hurt at "knock knock, whos there, polar who, polar bear." thats probably the hardest i ever laughed. clearly you had to be there. and also you had to be five years old or something.

Breaking Down

I suppose for me to properly be able to describe what it is want to describe it is important first to establish the facts. From this you will hopefully see it as i see it, even if i an unable to make you understand. 

Since the 28th of May I have been living in some strange... state of mind. That day was the day, having finished the first year of university, and with no work left over for completion before September, I moved out of Canterbury and back home. I have been invariably sleeping dead into the afternoon, between 2 and 3 o' clock as an average, and not sleeping until, well its 2:30 now and i won’t be asleep at 4. I get up often with just enough time to, i dunno, empty the dishwasher, wash up a bit, iron maybe, do some sort of housework so as to appease my parents (and more importantly to me the feeling of guilt i get if i do literally nothing as opposed to next to nothing). 

On the 28th of May i was asked "what will i do for all that time?", all that time being the 3 months until term starts (never say degrees are value for money). I said I’d be fine, i love doing nothing. Unfortunately nearly 4 weeks in and i think i was wrong. 

This is the thing i wanted to describe. Living like this, with nothing to do, no real reason to do anything, no motivation... I’m going slowly insane. We went to a harvester yesterday. I started singing in the car park, i was still singing to myself hours later. This is not normal for me, a chronic hermit. I can’t imagine how much I’m annoying my family, but judging but how quickly we get into arguments this week, i think it’s reasonable to say that i must be very. 

when I’m not being plain weird, I’m being, well i guess I’m being myself, in that i revert back into cyberspace, flicking between websites, just 5 of them, again and again, despite the fact nothing’s changed for half an hour on any of them. Eventually i get so mind numbingly bored i stop even that and just, stare. 

I can’t go on like this so i propose to myself now a 3 part plan. 

Part one is to stop being nocturnal. That motivation to get out of bed to do nothing is quite hard to find, but it’s something that i will have to do. It really shouldn’t be so hard to wake up at 9 everyday, so that’s my first target. Wake up at 9, even on weekends (because every day is a weekend if you have no job) 

Part 2 is to give myself a long term goal. If i cant motivate myself because i have nothing to do, i must give myself something to do. I’ve already decided I’m going to learn how to ride a bike. (There are flaws to this one, such as the need for someone to do this with Me. details, details)

Part 3 is to think of short term goals. Why just get out of bed to stare 5 websites repeatedly? I don’t know what these will be but I’m thinking i need things to do every day, like wash the kitchen floor, hoover or even watch all the star wars films again. 

So there you go. That’s the plan. It’s a bad plan. It’s based mainly on thinking, what do i need? And then hoping that those needs will be fulfilled. Will i be able to think of something to do every day for a month? How about 3? I’m not convinced. At least I’ve got some things to look forward too, like narrow boat holiday and a trip to chesington. 

Still

Fingers crossed

What's the worst injury you've had, and how did it happen?

i dont think ive ever had a bad injury. the benefits of having no desire to go anywhere include a great deal of safety. the furthest ive fallen is off a chair.

What's the biggest lie you've ever told and gotten away with?

well the obvious one before coming out and being in secondary school having to say that i wasnt gay. the stand out moment being "hey guys, please stop calling me gay because obviously im not" said to my, at the time, best friends.

(which raises the issue "your best friends called you gay as an insult?" "yes thats true, but everyone did it in our school. i caught myself doing it just because i heard it used like that so much, something im ashamed of now. but if i had to go back in time i wouldnt have stopped being friends with the people i were friends with, they supported me when i did come out and only one of them really meant it homophobicly but i think i changed his view on it when i told him about me. )
