Slum Life

Hello friends.

So as I mentioned in my last post, I am now living with my mom. But fortunately, i got paid on Saturday, so I’ve booked the ferry tickets to see +Tracey Ryan. And I damn well can’t wait to get out of here. It’s been horrible.

  • There’s no working vacuums
  • The hot water takes ages to warm up
  • Most parts of the house don’t have a carpet
  • You have to put money in the TV to watch it. Luckily i have my TV
  • Nail clippers are very hard to find
  • My bedroom (which used to be my half sister’s, so is pink and has glow in the dark fairies on the wall) is full of my sister’s stuff. When i first got here, it had loads of junk, most of which was moved into the attic or thrown out. There’s still some junk in there now
  • No-one opens the curtains. I have to do it
  • No-one closes doors behind them. I have to do it
  • No-one does the washing up. It’s always “someone else’s turn”. I usually end up doing it
  • There’s junk everywhere. Even before i brought my stuff here
  • Pretty much everything is dirty. I’m literally scared to walk around in bare feet. I’m always in my slippers
  • My half sister is a lazy, stupid, uncaring git who only gives a damn about herself and whatever boyfriend she happens to be with at the time
  • There’s always stuff left around the floor for people to trip over. Mostly left by my sister
  • When people finish off a toilet paper roll, no-one changes it. I have to
  • There’s no space for my few toiletries (razors and the like). They have LOADS of it
  • They’re both female smokers. They are constantly coughing. Especially mom with her “chest infection”

That’s all I can think of right now, but I’m sure there’s more i haven’t thought of. I might add more later.

For a while there was no internet, but being the genius I am, i used a SIM that my mom uses in a “broadband” dongle, and put it in my phone and used it as a wi-fi hotspot, so now we all have internet instead of just one computer. Although obviously it’s slow. And signal is usually quite bad, and sometimes didn’t work at all. Another problem with the T-mobile/EE SIM is that they block content which they deem “adult”, and when you go over the unfair fair usage policy (which isn’t much), they also stop you watching YouTube, even when the videos are embedded on a website or something. Chances are, if you use YouTube a lot, you’re going to get through that fair use policy very quickly.

I also didn’t have any internet on my phone because I’ve used it all and it doesn’t get renewed until 4th November. So for several days

Because of the lack of internet, I wasn’t able to do much for job searching. I told them that at the job centre and they seemed to let me off. Especially since it’s their fault. But eventually they paid me, and now i have a decent amount of money (for now). I’m going to try not to spend too much of it. I might buy a PlayStation Vita when the knobcentre pays me again on Monday, but other than that, not much else.

On an unrelated note, this my my 50th post. I think I’ve done pretty well. I’ve got over 13,700 views. To other people, that may not seem a lot, but it is to me. I’m sure there’s more popular blogs out there by normal people like me, but ah well. I do seem to be getting several views every day. It’s pretty consistent actually. Just today I’ve had 8, and yesterday I had 7. Last month i had 354!

I did have my stats displayed here, but they don’t display anymore, probably because i closed my Blogger account after this was originally posted. so i removed the stats.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Next time i blog, I’ll be living in Ireland with my girlfriend. Until then, chums. Toodles

Let’s Play!

Hello me ole chums.

So guess what i did last night. Not that, you dirty bastards. I made a Let’s Play! video on YouTube. As i type this up, it’s currently processing. But when it’s done, i’ll have my first Let’s Play video up. I’ve been thinking of doing one for a while. So there’s my first one. Ooh, it’s done! I’ll paste it below for your viewing pleasure. And yes, that is my real voice

It’s about 8 minutes long and it’s in full HD, so if you’re on mobile, it’ll eat up your data and battery if you’re not on wi-fi. I’m quite impressed with it. The sounds were a bit loud though, i should turn them down for next time.

On another note, i’m still unemployed. Employ me, someone. I’m quite good with computers. I think that’s all I have to say for now. I mainly just wanted to tell you about my new video. So go watch it and let me know what you think.

Google AdWords Monies and Another Broken Phone

So (notice how i start most of my posts with “so”?), this morning (actually this afternoon, but it feels like morning because i’ve already been to work and come back home by 12), I received a letter from a company you might know. This small company known as Google. Yeah, them. In it was an introduction to Google AdWords and a pretty decent £75 coupon. Unfortunately it can only be used for advertising in AdWords. I got excited when i saw it at first, then i thought “OK, don’t get your hopes up”.

But i got £75 for something, and who can’t get excited about that? It’s money i can use for something, not Monopoly money. So i set it all up. I set up text ads for my blogspot (the one you’re reading) and YouTube account. So hopefully you’ll be seeing ads for them occasionally. I’m hoping 25p a day is enough to get me some more views, subscribers, followers etc. That’d be coolios.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Guess what? No, go on, guess. Wrong, try again. Nope, one more try. Wrong again. My phone has broke AGAIN. So i took it back to the Carphone Warehouse to be repaired. It’s been a while, i can’t remember how long, let me get the whatsit… It went in the 14th and it;s now the… 24th? no, 23rd. I’ve been checking the website to track how it’s going. And i just checked now and they’ve fixed it and it’s being sent back to where i sent it in.

So hopefully i’ll have it back over the weekend. So yeah, that’s all the news for now. Now i have 3 days off work.

Here’s a song to see us out…

The First

ok so this is obviously my first blog. as you can tell by this being my only one. i didn’t want to name it “my first blog”. That’s too common. So what i plan to do is occasionally make a blog telling anyone that looks at this thing things that happen in my life. the interesting things. not a lot happens in my life so don’t expect many.

I’m currently typing this on my android phone. it doesn’t seem to work very well with it so i should remember to go on it on my computer when i get home.
ok well I’m out of things to say now. when I’m on a computer I’ll use better grammar and punctuation. i just cant be bothered on mobile. next time i’ll tell you more about myself. also i have a youtube account on youtube.com/user/micol19 (i think).

Have fun and no rioting!
