THE THINGS I DON’T LIKE
Parts Of Reality I Don’t Like
Part 1
I don’t like coming across children being naughty and the parent is telling the child off but I don’t want people thinking that I’m blaming the parent for that especially because it’s supposed to have nothing to do with me. It’s just that when I’m out I worry in case I hear someone shout as it bothers me which is why I don’t go out very often even though I know walking is very good exercise. What I would never do though is get involved because I know I’d be doing the right thing if I mind my own business which is what you’re supposed to do, however I do like coming across children having fun and being well behaved.
Part 2
I don’t like hearing about children wanting something now and sulking because they can’t have it or are having to wait till later, as I would never behave like that. I’m sick and tired of kids being naughty and arguing with their parents and driving them potty. I really do wish brothers and sisters as children would stop quarrelling with each other and constantly be nice to each other and share things with each other. I also don’t like kids pretending to be ill so that they can skip school.
Also, I don’t believe in straight competition. I actually feel that it should be eradicated from the world completely so that children and adults can relax better. I would be well pleased if that happened but whether it will happen or not I don’t know. I’m also particularly fed up with the same old “I don’t care who started it, I’m finishing it!” I wouldn’t blame the adult for saying it, but I would prefer it if it died out completely.
Also, I wish that there were no kids who would bite the floats when they’re at swimming
with their parents, something that stand-
Part 3
I think I share something in common with the singer, Mika because I read something about him in one of my Q magazines where he said that much of what he does exists in fantasy and that he doesn’t face certain realities. I do identify quite strongly with that. For those who don’t know what Q magazines are, they’re music magazines and I started collecting them in January 2007 and I carried on collecting them until February 2010 when I lost interest in collecting them. I gave them all away because it was during my dark phase that I collected them and read them. My dark phase hadn’t quite ended at the time I stopped collecting them.
Films That Put Me Off
Part 1
I really dislike films where someone has been arrested for a crime that they didn’t commit and ones where a young couple are seeing each other and the girl’s Mum or Dad is not happy with her about it and that they don’t like the man she is seeing and that she’s locked in her room for it and also ones where a man’s girlfriend is being kidnapped and he’s on a mission to save her and people think he’s the villain.
Part 2
I wish I never went to see Spiderman 1 with my Nan and Granddad in August 2002 but what made me go was Nan telling me that I’d wish I had seen it if I didn’t go but obviously she was wrong. I also don’t like films where a woman is interested in a man just because he’s rich.
Bits Of Films That Put Me Off
Part 1
I dislike the bit where in the 1971 version of the film ‘Charlie And The Chocolate Factory’ it said on the news that the fifth and final ticket has been found and Grandpa Joe asks Mrs. Bucket to turn it off and then he says, “Well that’s that, no more golden tickets”. The next day Charlie comes home from school hears someone say that in the paper there was the fifth ticket fraud and Charlie has the chocolate bar and he finds the last ticket. Then he rushes home to his family and I dislike the bit where he screams with excitement and says that he found the last ticket and Grandpa Joe says, “You’re pulling our leg Charlie, there aren’t anymore golden tickets”.
Part 2
I dislike the bit where in ‘Toy Story 1’ Woody is in the moving van and a dog named Scott has got Buzz and Woody gets the toy racing car out and gets it out of the van to try and get Buzz back and the toys are horrified and thinking that he was at it again so they throw him off for that because before he previously knocked Buzz out of the window in the old house.
Part 3
I also hate the bit where in ‘101 Dalmatians’ the two dogs are taken for a walk in the park and Pongo gives word to the Great Dane that their 15 puppies have been stolen and Roger says, “Quiet boy!” and soon both dogs run away to find them and near the end of the film Roger says that he can’t understand why they did run away. It’s misunderstandings like that in films, which I detest but I do understand that’s what makes them interesting.
The Kind Of Television I Hate
Part 1
The programmes Emmerdale, Eastenders and Coronation Street absolutely drive me insane and I’m trying to avoid every single reference to them and what’s going on in them because they’re driving me that mad, especially the most down sides about them like court cases not working out, relationships not working out, victims being kidnapped and tied to chairs and gagged, the mother or the father of a teenaged girl finding his or her daughter in the living room with a male adult and that they’re embarking on a relationship, people dying, couples breaking up, innocent people being accused of something they didn’t do and being sent to prison, men getting dumped, love triangles, weddings fiascoes, parents forbidding their daughters from seeing their boyfriends, things like that. I get very stressed if I come across a reference to any of those programmes even though I know the idea is not to care because they’re only photographs and they can’t hurt me.
In late 2009 I came across a reference to Eastenders in the Radio Times mentioning something about a row in the Jackson household leading to a revelation and I got instantly stressed and it led to a major outburst which I had in my bedroom. Thankfully my Mum was out shopping at the time. Apparently she doesn’t buy or order the Radio Times anymore so that’s made it easy for me.
Valentine’s Day is the day I’m trying to avoid the soaps most because of the tragic love stories and love triangles and relationship break ups, which always seem to feature on that day. This means I get anxious towards Valentine’s Day. Although I don’t like the storylines in the soaps I don’t dislike the actors in them. I don’t like it when the woman is mad at the man but I very much understand that it’s only acting. I can fully appreciate people watching them because they like them but they’re not for me. I was well pleased when I heard that ‘The Bill’ was being axed.
Part 2
Also I used to like a television comedy quiz show called ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ but I went right off it after I saw this episode where Samuel Preston from the band ‘The Ordinary Boys’ was on the programme as a guest panellist and during the ‘Intros Round’, ex presenter Simon Amstell made jokes at his ex wife’s expense, by which he was offended, so he got up and walked out of the studio. Just afterwards, ex regular of the programme Bill Bailey picked out an audience member who looked very much like Preston as his replacement. Not to mention the fact that it happened during my dark phase. I haven’t watched the programme since.
Part 3
I’ve also lost interest in another television comedy quiz show called ‘Mock The Week’ because of the stuff they talk about on there news wise. I wouldn’t say I despise that programme but I find it difficult to handle the things that they talk about on there such as kids not knowing how to sit and listen properly and the economy being in a dire straits. Of course it can be interesting stuff and it’s a very good thing indeed that there are people in this world who like watching the news and reading newspapers, only I wouldn’t be doing it even though I do care very much for society.
