    Who wants to join me? Everyone! Go on it would be fun to come in every evening and go through your feelings about the paper of the day and stuff, and to feel like you're not alone!
    Here's me:

    Don't listen to them, that was totally uncalled for! I'd join you but I'm too shy >_<


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    Aww don't be shy! If you wanted you could even hide your face there's nothing stopping you! Oh but if you don't want to do it then don't!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,229 ✭✭✭pathway33

    Best of luck in the Leaving. Did mine 2 years ago. Did ok. Will probably watch a couple of your vids to see how it goes this year for you/others. Know a couple of people doing the leaving cert this year.

    Remember, the Leaving Cert isn't everything, if you do bad, do a PLC and then go onto the course you want into college.

    Folks that is a lie, if you dont do well in your leaving cert you will, overnight, become a junkie...

    true story

    Yeah I'm pretty much planning on going down the panhandling route if I don't get 189375293475 points. I hear it's a viable career path which a lot of people are getting into! I'm glad to hear that everyone has such a positive attitude about this! Delighted! I'm practically excited about doing the Leaving Cert now... Almost!

    I thought tigerblob and rbvlogs were good till I saw this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fQck10sMGs&feature=related

    He's doing 30 subjects!!!!!! Didn't view it all but apparently he has tips for home ec tomorrow


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 80 ✭✭Enid.


    Janey mac 30 subjects? That's a bit...much.
    Excellent idea the vlogging, but I am also a bitteen shy. :D
    For those of you too shy to vlog, ye should come over to http://leaving-cert.net/ and discuss the exams in verbal form. I'll be doing it most days!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭SirDelboy18


    That Rich bloke looks like he has sage wisdom to offer.


    That'll be the vlog that I frequent.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 327 ✭✭zoom!


    It's a good idea but If I were you i'd be studying rather than doing vlogs. i think 1 long one at the end of the exams would be better.

    It wont take up a lot of time, 10 minutes max, I wont be editing or anything, just saying a few words and uploading it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭green909


    Great Idea

    Hope you get want you want!

    Best of luck

    Your vlog made me happy :) You reflected everything running through my head!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭SirDelboy18


    I recommend toning down the general eccentricity level for the next one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 829 ✭✭✭zam

    Since when does happy/positive = eccentric? :P
    I really enjoyed the vlog! Keep it up.

    Subscribed! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    I'm glad it reflected your thoughts! And I didn't realise I was eccentric, but I'm cool with it :cool: Sorry if I'm a bit loud for you though!! :) I'm glad people like it! Good luck tomorrow everyone!

    You're very giddy, but I wouldn't say loud! Gotta turn my speakers up to max to barely hear you :pac:

    Keep em up.
    You're a lot more likable than the 'I got a B' dick. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,232 ✭✭✭DGRulz


    I was planning to vlogg through it all, but for some reason the mic on my camera just went on a day trip to banjaxed last week and never came back :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    Oh, I didn't realise I was giddy, sorry! Ha, I feel a bit sorry for the "I got a B" guy, I know when I'm good at something I'll say so, too, because I prefer when other people are honest about their strengths and weaknesses as well. Aww man there are so few people doing this too, I'm sad that your camera mic broke!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 307 ✭✭Orlaladuck


    I really liked it - it was interesting and kept my attention. I was going to make one but I started the camera and realised I'm a little bit tooo shy.. it's a good perspective though and I like the fact you don't go down the whole 'It went amazingly, A1 For sure' or ' It was so0o0o0o baaad!' It was cool :)
    I subscribed anyway!Definitely want to see more!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Rich1691


    Just posted a talk through of the paper there, nothing as "eccentric":D as Tigerblob, just a little vloggity http://www.youtube.com/RBVlogs

    Cool. Tell us the rollercoaster of emotions as you search frantically for your poet tomorrow. Take note of any heart sinking or metaphorical jumping for joy. Best of luck

    A bit of eccentricity never hurt anyone.

    Though if tigerblob is eccentric, you should meet some of my friends!

    And we won't even mention some senior heads around this here site!! :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 302 ✭✭Rich1691

    Yeah, I agree with you, just quoting a previous comment;)

    Will do, It'll either be total ecstacy or agony or possibly a combination of the two!:p

    you'll be kicking yourself if rich comes up. Don't forget her poem Aunt Jennifers Tigers. Given the usernames of our 2 vloggers there must be a ding ding ding ding moment there

    EDIT: Only the repeats LCers would understand 'ding ding ding ding' but I have missed it even though paddy is doin a great job

    Where do you start with Lear though, Characters, Themes, I don't know! I'm doing general vision and viewpoint for Comparative but have yet to read over an answer, thankfully the exam is in the afternoon!

    Can you wear a fake mustache in it?

    Also I request a shout out to my best pal, William is his name. F*cking hero.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 262 ✭✭tigerblob


    Apologies for the delay with my video, too! I'm so sorry, my computer is really slow and my videos take about two hours to go up. Mine's been uploading since half eight and it's 93% done now so it's up soon hold tight! I'm so sorry, I started late this evening anyway because I was getting some help with maths after the English exam! :rolleyes:
