Wow, this is my 50th post in my blog! Feels like yesterday when I first opened the account. How time flies...
Anyway, just a short post really. Amanda sent me some really positive feedback about my 'Youths' play so far. I asked her for her thoughts on what should happen in my play - I have enough character stuff to keep it ticking over but I want something to happen to bring all of them together at the end - and Amanda couldn't think of anything. I would like something that's not really life altering, something simple and relatively small in the grand scheme of things but something that will impact their lives and also show how futile and mundane their existances are. Current ideas include breaking a shop window and losing something (eg cash or a family possession).
How you can help
If anyone out there has any funny/poignant/stupid stories about stuff you or your mates, etc got up to when you were thirteen-fifteen years old, then please post them in the comments section. I'm not going to nick all of it, honest, but I thought a bit of research might do the play a bit of good!
I think, as usual, I need to sit down and think this one through. Finding time though is a bit difficult at the moment as it is coming up to my show, and they keep adding in extra rehearsals. My next evening off is Thursday, so will have a crack at it then.

silly story: my friends were down at the reailway tracks smoking cigerettes in the heat of summer 1996. the bank was dry and totally barren. they chucked a fag on the ground and the whole bank was ablaze in seconds, then when the fire brigade was called they ran off. Helicopter and everyhting ensued and hte wrong group of people got arrested for Arson!
I'm not proud of this... one night we tied a stone to the end of a piece of string and wrap stickytape round it with the sticky site outward, and go 'fishing' in post-boxes. The most interesting catch was the master copy of a Chinese restaurant menu being sent to the printers, asking for 2000 copies. We scanned it into a computer and made certain corrections, changing some of the dishes to things like "stir-fried dog's intestines" or "jism on a stick", printed out the amended version, and put it back in the post. This is the worst thing I've ever done.
that's geniosity
I told you about my first dope experience right? after I got taken in by the police?
No, I don't think so, but please do!
Thanks you guys for sharing!
I was obviously a very boring child. Didn't really do anything naughty. Even when I hung around with a bit of a tearaway. Obviously have a very strong moral compass.
I had a little bit of a pyromaniac thing, but who doesn't.
Then I got into porn and it was goodbye childhood
