Sorry For The Delay

Sorry For The Delay

We collectively, GISEYE, would like to endow you all with our INFINITE APOLOGIES, for the reason being our lack of any updates for a grand period of exactly one month. Or, if you’d rather not waste your time reading the material we write, we apologise for updating.

If you require an apology in person, we will only gladly oblige to provide one in verbal and physical form.

In other news, to have happened over the past month in no particular order (although there is an order, an inexplicable platonically romantic prize for who correctly guesses it)

1. Prom (we were, unfortunately, very wrong)
2. Disco Inferno
3. Interhouse Softball
4. Some mysterious Cheerleading sessions
5. Eid Ul Adha
6. Christmas
7. New Year (several members of our year enjoyed Souled Out, others, Karaoke, others, home)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Not a Merry Christmas and Not a Happy New Year If You Are:

• Not of the Christian faith
• Following a different calendar
• An enemy
• Undergoing negative emotional difficulties
• Unfortunate, Generally
• Probably if you are emo as well

Picking up on a magician down, although we’re not too sure as to the definition of emo itself, we editors collectively reckon that being emo involves:

we reckon it involves being a person who wishes to gain attention from certain peoples or to make themselves part of a group as they cannot fit into society and involves secluding yourself from modern activities, and emotions such as being happy, and trying to act like you have some sort of super emotionally advanced brain - which enables them to achieve superbly extreme emotions - which they do not have

An almost certainly more reliable source defines emo as:

An entire subculture of people (usually angsty teens) with a fake personality. The concept of Emo is actually a vicious cycle that never ends, to the utter failing of humanity, and it goes something like this:

1. Girls say they like "sensitive guys" (lie)
2. Guy finds out, so he listens to faggy emo music and dresses like a dork so chicks will see that he is sensitive and not afraid to express himself (lie). He dyes his hair black, wraps himself in a stupid looking scarf, develops an eating disorder, and rants about how "nobody understands".
3. Now an emo guy, he meets Emo chick and they start dating, talking about how their well-off suburban lifestyles are terrible and depressing (lie)
4. Emo guy is just too much of a pussy. His penis is too small, he's too depressed to bathe, and has more mood swings than emo chick, and he doesn't even have a menstrual cycle. Emo chick dumps him, saying "It's not you, it's me." (lie) as she drives off with Wayne, the school jock and captain of the football team.
5. Emo guy goes home and cries, proceeds to write a weak song and strum a single string on his acoustic guitar. Another emo chick sees how he is so in touch with his feelings, and the cycle continues.

Being eloquently respectable editors, we don’t in truth understand the above. So to help clear things up, we pronounce the topic of this post as ‘Defining emo’ therefore please feel free to add your own definitions and various other general comments of a positive nature.

In fact, we’re getting quite irritated by the word ‘emo’ right around now, or perhaps you’re getting (as we are) annoyed at us, for our continuing discussion of that word, so we’ll stop, and instead start discussing about something else.

Filth aside, we feel that if you want to be something, then be it, after all, this is we believe, the time of your life where you learn what your personality, and character really is, so who’s to say what you should be? If you don’t understand that, then imagine a small hermit man living in an isolated acoustically-perfect cave, we don’t know how he appeared there, but that’s aside the point, point is, he’s got no one to tell him what kind of person he is, so is he of no kind? Kindless? Personalityless? Whether you want to become what we’ve been narrating above, gothic, ah-beng (Co-editor 1 may disagree violently with being this), ah lian, fashion-conscious, tall, or whatever really. It’s a free world. Air is free. Do what you want, when you want.

But emos really do...suck. honest. Come on get over yourself, prats

SONG

Which brings us nicely onto the subject that the band OK Go, with their song ‘Do What You Want’ (get it http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/site/music-plus/), is the incredible most catchy and addictive of music. It’s community head-banging in the safety of our rooms and empty spaces in public areas-galore. hooked to that catchy guitar riff thing. Perhaps you think it’s overplayed, repetitive, meaningless lyrically mainstream rubbish. So as ever, it’s up to you as the reading public really.
We also liked the video.

In other news,

EXPLOSION

Recently we have witnessed with our own GISEYES, an explosion in blogs in the sixth form internet community.

Why, the sudden interest? Why, the sudden coming out? Why, following the crowd? We, utilizing the various statistical tools we have at hand, and after careful analysis, have come out with a number of severe consequences of the recent flaring up like a rash, of blogs:

• Even more people getting blogs, up to a point where everyone in the year bar-none will own a blog, and then people will start getting two blogs each, or four each, posting about the days they could have had.
• Those that don’t have blogs will form an anti-blog clan. And spam the facilities of current blog owners, whilst stirring up negative emotions and hatred towards them. Resulting in the downfall of several of the smaller weaker blogs, and
• Someone posting something slightly indirectly inflammatory-ily pessimistic towards a member of the staff of our educational institution. Result being the closing down of all blogs. The few that survive will communicate with their viewers in paper or verbal form
• Nothing

But aside from that ambiguous forecasting above, we all feel that the recent spate of an uprise in blogs, is all for the better. For the better of bringing our year closer together, as we get to know each other better, unless of course, all that is blogged about are cleverly constructed lies to mislead the general reading public; for giving bored sixth formers at home something to do; for giving us editors something to fill up our trivial lives with; various other currently mysterious social benefits, SHALL SOON BE REVEALED. TUNE IN NEXT TIME TO FIND OUT.

NECESSARY COMPLIMENTS

In fact, some, if not all, of the recent new blogs (Magician Down, Kit’s Abyss, Ann, that is all) to have gone public are of a high quality, better than this vagueencouraging-fest. We’ve been recently impressed with the intellectual eminence being produced non/representing our year. More please.

Other compliments must be directed at the cast and everybody involved with disco inferno, a recent audible and visual feast for all to enjoy. The performance was a success of a positive nature in all aspects for the 3 night duration that it ran (bar annoying elders who do not know the meaning of 'silent' function on phones). Congratulations to everyone involved once more and may there be more to come from our wonderful drama department!

It was very good. Several stamps of approval all round.

SEX

To CHEE MENG, it’s not rape it’s surprise sex. Not it’s not it’s rape. And rape is serious. And we at GISEYE wholeheartedly unequivocally oppose rape.

And on that fitting note, we end. but not forever, not like NO YOU'RE NOT BACK Andy’s blog (expected to make a glorious comeback).

Expect future updates in the future.
