Oliver.

Hey guys


So during the past three days I've been performing my school play Oliver, and one thing is for sure that I miss it already.

I remember ranting about how majority of people who sign up for the are girls and how we would never finish this play in time but in all truth, it was probably the best play we'd ever done in three years. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a school play so much.

So in this production I played Charlotte, the funeral parlour's daughter, and boy did I love my onstage family. In all honesty I loved the everyone as my own theatrical family really, I always tell myself the play isn't worth it but when I'm fully in the musical mind set I can't help but become positive and all I want to do is act. So it does effect my grades slightly but only just because in all honesty I'd rather be on stage than learn Pythagoras' theory on bloody boring triangles which won't effect me when I'm older.

I've made new friends and connected with people I never thought I would, I have also been shipped with many and started a film partnership which I hope goes well.

That's the thing about productions, I'm not a social person in general but somehow theses performances really makes me out going and just talk and be sociable to everyone, even those I don't necessarily get along with.

So all in all it suck that I will have to wait yet another till the next play comes around, but it doesn't stop me from my busy schedule.
Just one 7.5 (excluding weekends) days left at school and I still have the carol service, Costco singing and School Christmas celebration (concert) not to mention an outside of school rock concert (but a post on that will be coming later).

Maybe that's a downside to my school, its brilliant musically but boy does it love to jam pack as many concerts during Christmas.

Sorry this post wasn't the longest I'll try and update more over Christmas (especially since it will be a year anniversary on boxing day I believe )

How I am a Pathetic Human Being

Hey Guys,

So weirdly this week was eventful, and not in the best way...

I am pathetic.
Let me tell you why.

You see I've been talking to this boy for a while now (don't worry he isn't a pervert we have met I haven't been cat fished it's all good guys) and I guess I had grown to like him, to a point where I had a crush.
It was just the jokes he made and I thought we really clicked and everything really.

So one day he asks for advice, girl advice, so knowing me I agreed and BAM he asked about this girl he liked from his school who is a year below him (my year, but not my school) and how he wasn't sure if he liked her and what he should do.

My heart sunk.

It was stupid, I knew he didn't feel the same way and I still didn't entirely know if I proper liked him or not, but when those words lit up on my screen. I knew then exactly how I felt for him.

Now I am one to hide my emotions extremely well, for instance I hate crying. I don't do it often but when I do it makes me angry so I end up in a mood and a headache, which just makes everything worse quite frankly.

But somehow after learning this information from the boy I liked it really hurt and I did cry, and it was pathetic. I knew he'd never like me back and somehow I hoped he would, but then he said something.
"I doubt anyone feels like I do rn"
And somehow I had the courage to say "I do" and when he asked how I gave him this message about a boy who I liked but wasn't sure on it, hinting everyway that it was him who was the boy.
He still doesn't realise I meant him in that message and it frustrates me.

See how pathetic I am?
hinting that I like him instead of telling, crying over someone who was never mine to have and getting frustrating at something silly.

I am pathetic but you know what? I accept it, because I learnt from the experience.

I guess that's something good about blogging and life.

I can tell you guys (or no one) everything that has happened to me without anyone I know finding out. It also helps because it makes me re think the situation and learn from it too which actually helps me a lot as well.


But please I know you all don't comment much but I need your opinion, was it okay for me to cry to do what I did?

I mean the boy and I are friends still but I really want to know.

want more posts like this? add me if you ant and comment below because I want to know what is interesting and what isn't, I know I need to be confident and post what I want but still, doesn't hurt to ask right?

Why The 25th Was The Best Day Ever

Hi guys

I know, I know I have been MIA for a long time but the thing is, nothing happened!
That was until the 25th October happened.


Okay so just a heads his is no way a bragging post but a general holy crap best day ever wtf post.

Okay, so I'm sure people from the UK have heard of the Radio station BBC Radio 1 right? Well yearly they have their teen awards and happened to be giving away up to ten tickets per lucky potential winner until they all ran out. So on the 24th my friend (let's call her thg) THG and I are listening in about the competition and THG says "Omg we should enter!" so as the sort of person that I am I shrug and agree. We didn't get on air that day I decided to have a go at winning them the next day.

SO the 25th came and I was sat like an agile eagle by the radio listening to try and find a song that would allow me to enter the competition. No joke, every time a family member came through my kitchen door I would scream and go back to my position, I think they thought I was possessed.

But then the first few chords of 5SOS's She's Kinda Hot came on and like a bullet I was dialling radio one's number, and guess what? I got through! Then they told me to wait and if they called back then it meant I would be live on air trying to win up to ten tickets to the teen awards. I got through on air, I now my friends laugh because my voice was so awkward and sounded nothing like me. (If you want to listen be my guess, it's dev's Saturday show and its 2 hours and 52 minutes into the show, P.S I don't have a lisp in real life it is because I had my braces tightened.)

But all in all it was amazing because I won 8/10 tickets to the teen awards and I'm still taken back that it actually happened.

Thing is, this was only the beginning. why you may ask? Because later that day I was seeing THE AMAZING TOUR IS NOT ON FIRE.

AND OMG IT WAS INCREDIBLE I LOVED IT AND I THINK I ETERNALLY DAMAGED MY VOICE FROM SCREAMING!

I was allowed to buy a tour t-shirt which I sleep in every night because I'm a crazy fan girl, and was able to buy a signed copy of the book (yes, yes I am obsessed with Dan and Phil. your point?!)

All in all the 25th was a great day as well as it being m eldest brother's 21st brother over all meaning that I am the only non-adult in my family, eek!

Like I said I am very sorry for being gone but nothing happened at all but don't worry another post shall be coming shortly about my problems.

Also, have you had a great day where everything seem to go your way? let me know in the comments below! Also any improvements I can make on my blog? please leave a comment on that too ;)

See ya next post!

That four lettered word simply called LOVE

Hey Guys

I decided to quit on the whole review thing because 1) I was crap at it and 2) it was boring.

The update thing kind of went to pots too because I'm in the school play and holy crap do they want to rehearse! Anyway I'm not really sure about the whole inspiration behind this post but let's just see where it goes, plus I have a big feeling I've done something like this before but eh time for a new version!

Love is complicated. I remember when I was little and how I watched everyone around me fall in and out of love with someone whether it was real life or on a TV show, now at first I thought it was disgusting having to kiss and get married and have children with another person because that was who I was, someone who wasn't a fan of that four lettered word.

Granted I was six till around ten at the time but after expanding on my romance film and book collection I realise that love isn't just  loving your other half, that actually it's way more than that like; sharing their interests, having fun, being happy and comfortable with that special guy or girl. It's all of the above and more.

Now I think I'm getting to that stage in my life where love can be acceptable and I can start letting my heart wander to it's other half and fall in love and get my heartbroken (I'm year ten so I'd like to think I'm a year away from all the relationships). Yes, I think if you say you're in love at 11 that it isn't love  and don't you dare even say "Well Juliet was young when she was with Romeo" because that story ended in death and it lasted for three days if not five.

The thing is when thinking of love there are loads of types of it, not the being in love part but who you're in love with. You could be straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, the list goes on. Now I think I'm straight and have a love for boys but you know what? I may not find out that I'm gay till I'm about 18 and realise that my gender could be way better or that like I both. But right now I like boys and have one in particular in mind (that's another story).

Okay so this goes a bit personal and sharing this on internet could go either way but lets just bite the bullet and do it. Is it wrong for me to want to experiment as to which gender I like? I mean there are some girls that maybe pretty or not that I just get this awkward thought in my head that says "What would your kiss be like? Who'd be the metaphorical guy in the relationship? Would you be cute? Would people understand at your age?" now I do try and push those thoughts away because although those thoughts come into my head for some girls they do for guys too. Now I don't know what the thoughts mean but I might as well keep them there because my mind is a weird place which NO ONE needs to see.

But here's the weird thing, I've never been in a relationship. I mean I did say that I shouldn't be falling in love just now and maybe a year later I can but I mean I haven't even been in those petty relationships. You know the ones, those weird ones with that boy in year four where you sit and hold hand in the playground but never meet outside of school and find the whole experience awkward, yeah those ones. I like to think (although it's a bad thing on my confidence) that I am a boy repellent I mean I can talk to boys but I can't keep the conversation going. My friend on the other hand gets boys dropping to her feet practically everyday ( I won't go into that story though because 1) it's a very long one and 2) it's her personal stuff).

I guess that's partially why I hate romance films, although they're sweet and cute and funny as hell I just feel like I'll never be able to get that with someone ever, because like I said I am a boy repellent.

I don't know I guess through the years my knowledge on this topic has grown and weirdly have given relationship advice to (annoyingly) a boy I really liked, probably because I had a vast knowledge of it from books because trust me his situation could have been made into a film it was an exact replica of those love triangles you see today.

Well that's my post on this topic for you. I think I might just post weekly whenever and see where that goes to be honest so I will see you when I see you.

Comment your thoughts and hey if you want some stories on this or something just ask and I'll give my view or story it.

First Day Back, Nothing's change :/

Hey Guys,

So I went back to school on Wednesday and  just like normal, nothing has happened. Thankfully I'm not alone in my classes with my friends by my side but still something doesn't seem right.

Don't get me wrong, year Ten will be a good year and yet it will also be a year of responsibility and stress. I mean as I like on all the work that lies ahead to get the A* result, Frankly I'm terrified for it. All I see when I like at my work is confusion and surely I shouldn't see that straight away right?

On the bright I've already made a teacher hate and showed my disinterest in the school. We had to sit through two hours of photos which no one gave two Fudges about just because we made these petty awards which we won't win. I mean, come on, our school is a shithole where nothing gets done and where all the two-faced teachers come to work.

On Friday the school were hosting school auditions for Oliver and it couldn't have been a worse play for us. Why? Because not only is the full of boys and majority of girls signed up but the boys who audition didn't even want to sing. They would have been better off doing something like Wizard of Oz or something really. Nether the less I signed up and I bet you a thousand pounds I will be a rock.

Anyway Sorry this is late, that I have no excuse other than I forgot about this post, and also that this post was short and boring. Like I said nothing goes n in my school to blog about so what's the point? Well see you tomorrow for a film review, let's just say it wont be a happy one either.

Let's Review

Hey guys


So as I have probably explained on my old blog I have a HUGE interest in movies and making them. So I was thinking, Hey! I watch a tonne of films so why not share my opinion. Maybe after my review it may inspire you to watch and then that film will become your favourite movie too, who knows?

NOTE: Have a film you want me to review? Leave a comment down below and I will watch and give my opinion, and sorry if its a bad review because I have to be honest okay?

So coincidentally I went to see Me And Earl And The Dying Girl (Trailer to the side of this post) with my friend. Now the rating is a 12A but I wouldn't be surprised if it were a 15 at some points with it's jokes and rude parts but then again the rating does fit it perfectly. Now this is a book adaptation which I haven't read but do have a copy which I intend to read.

I have to say although my friend likes to refer every new movie to an old one saying "it was just a copy" Is really pointless. I thought it was a good watch with some great humour and all in all some good acting.

I mean it wasn't exceptional but I'd probably watch it again and if you knew you'd know that I'm not one to watch movies again unless I think that they're great. It was a good story line with a sad but good ending. I have to say I am saying 'good' a lot but in all honesty there isn't much else to say about it other than that it was good. Granted it was just me and my friend in the cinema watching it but I enjoyed it.

This is probably a crappy review but here's the storyline:

Awkward, lanky, and self-loathing, Greg Gaines is a senior at Pittsburgh's Schenley High school who appears to drift through life while only seeming to broadly associate himself with the various cliques within Schenley's halls. He learns that a fellow student and former childhood friend of his, Rachel Kushner, has been diagnosed with leukemia, and is forced by his overbearing parents and to befriend her in her time of need. Despite neither of them truly wanting the other's company, Greg manages to strike up a conversation about her pillow collection. She finds his quirky personality endearing, and they make plans to meet on a regular basis.

There is no romance but a great friendship, which I love because with all the films coming out these days romance is getting a tad boring and I think it's time a little guns and action came back.
Something 2016 is hopefully going to kick ass with.

Now reading upon some of the awards that The film received it did pretty lucky to get into cinemas but I doubt it will remain there for long. I don't know if you all like something along the lines of  TFIOS then maybe this film is for because apparently it's very similar to it. Probably because there's a boy, a girl and the girl has cancer and there's a letter. No Joke because apparently those things represent TFIOS to my friend.


But all joking aside I would rate this film
3.5/5

It was a good film and definitely my taste of indie types movies but sometimes that taste isn't the majority of what people like. So yes, I would recommend watching it and hopefully you take this review into thought or not I'll still type these posts anyway.


Now I have something to ask.
Hows this for a type of schedule:
  • Monday - movie review (either recent films I've seen or one you've asked me to recommend)
  • Life posts on Friday.
Knowing me I probably won't stick to this but as I am entering GCSE's I do have to kind of grow up and get organised so I will do my best to stick to this schedule type thing.


So that's all from me and like I said If you have a Film you want me to review please just ask and I will.

Is This bad?

Hey guys,

now don't let the title deceive in any way because today I'm not asking for opinions, well I am just not in the way the title suggests (if that makes sense).

So today is my birthday and unlike most people I really couldn't care less about it. I'm not sure should 14 year olds not care about their birthday? Am I the only one? It's just that last year I was so excited for my birthday and now I just find it an ordinary like the other person. I mean sure, you find adults who see their birthday like I do but not people my age.

Just if you guys were wondering or anything here's a list of what I received. I'm not much or a haul person but just in case any of you wanted to know.

  • A Computer. Finally I can have privacy writing this blog and writing my books in general!
  • chocolate
  • money
  • nail stuff (but I can't paint my nails to save my life so this should be interesting)
  • books (always a good thing for me I got the first two books of THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS collection)
  • stationary (always a good thing for me since I'm OBSESSED)
  • a film clapper to hang on my wall since I love films and making them
  • The DUFF DVD I have read the book and apparently it isn't anything like the movie so it may be a 50/50 chance as to whether I enjoy it or not
I mean don't get me wrong, all of those things I received were phenomenally brilliant for me and yes I am grateful for everyone but it doesn't feel like todays my birthday. As if I wasn't born today but another date like I don't know 19th June. Not sure why that date I just like the number 19 and June was all I could think about.

I guess the only reason I have for not feeling like today is my birthday is because I'm the youngest of my year. Like I said I'm about to go into Year ten and YES I'm supposed to be ion the year below (it's a long story, don't worry I'm not smart or anything, seriously). A lot of people don't realised the youngest and I guess it's because I don't look like I am.

I don't know guys am I overreacting, underreacting, being too dramatic? Please be honest I just want to know and what you think. I thought I'd do a post because I'm kind of bored and I wanted to post.

No more anonymous, Just Izzy


Hey guys,

As the previous owner of My Life And A Computer I realised I needed a change. Something new and better, which in my case, is quite hard.

I guess I was tired of being anonymous and having to think of ways to tell you all a story without giving myself away so you know what? I'm not being anonymous anymore and you can all see me for me.

So hello, I'm Izzy. I live in England and am about to start Year ten which in all honesty I'm frightened for. It's a pretty big two years for me before A levels and I'm stepping into my last four years at school. That may seem like a long time but when I think about it, those months and years are going to go so quick and I need to make the most of it.

I'm no way in any shape or form perfect. I can be cruel and mean just like the other person but then again I can be kooky and creative and kind. Thinking about it now I think everyone is like that, some people just have more adjectives of themselves than others.

I may show my face in the future as the idea of starting a YouTube channel looms over my mind everyday but given my age I just feel like I'm way too young to start that sort of thing so it will most probably happen in a couple years time.

I want to hear your opinions, if I rant on about something I love to hear what you have to say on the matter in  hand and how you feel it can be resolved or not. I want to be connected to people on a social level where we can talk and be friends and stuff like that.

Even as I'm typing this now and when it's published I just hope that maybe someone out there reads this and thinks something that motivates them or something, maybe boosts their confidence. Now I know I'm no counselor or psychiatrist but maybe I can give words of wisdom in a an Izzy way. Who knows? maybe this blog will turn into a helping site where people send questions and I answer them, maybe I just rant and you read, the options are endless.


Well that's all I have to say and like I said I want to hear your voice and see what you have to say.
No more hiding, no more anonymous, Just me.
