All About Jazz
Hi, I'm Jazz, the owner of this Neocities site. If you want to get to know me more and check out some other cool stuff that doesn't really fit elsewhere on my site, have a read and scroll down.
Stuff I like
● Little things, and finding or noticing them. Like the cooling breeze on a warm day
● Sleeping in and taking daytime naps
● Days where I have no obligations, and I can do anything I want
● The feeling when my house is finally clean
● Going down a nostalgia hole and feeling like I am a little kid again
● Feeling totally at home being myself with my partner :)
Stuff I dislike
● The word "anyways" and “youse”. The first one feels very American and the second one is very bogan-Australian
● People online who act like America is the only place that exists
● People who comment negative stuff about how you look, or give backhanded compliments
● When people are rude for no reason at all online. How hard is it just to be nice to the person behind the screen?
Myspace Quiz
Future stuff I want to add to this page
● A proper blurb about me
● Some of my photos. Or maybe I'll pop that on the Media page?
● More Myspace quizzes
● List of words that I like the sound of, such as "Cake"
● Fun facts about me
● Fun facts about stuff I like
● I need to think of more stuff!

Flash Stuff
Books and Films I studied in high school
I have this weird thing where I like to remember everything I've read and watched in my life, and so I don't forget, here's a list of what I do remember. To preface this, I only wanted to watch and study the Disney movie Holes. The classes a year or two below me got to study Holes, which was my favourite movie, and one I could watch over and over and still love. Plus, I was very rigid around what I watched and read when I was a teenager. If I was forced to study something for school then the odds were I probably didn't like it. Some of these books and movies might actually be fantastic.
In health class, we watched Super Size Me. It's kind of funny, because duh, eating McDonalds all the time is bad for you.
We watched Romeo + Juliet, the 1996 "modern" version. I remember finding the dialogue hard to follow but I enjoyed some of the imagery. I think I was around year 10. Around this time, we also read Macbeth. I have no memory of this though.
We read Deadly, Unna? and watched the movie about it, which goes by the title Australian Rules. I don't remember much about it, except that it’s about AFL (Australian football) and Aboriginal people are in it and relevant to the story.
I read Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, by Geraldine Brooks when I was in year 12. I remember feeling it was so incredibly boring and bleak, and I hated it. I remember a lot of people in the book died, and around the middle of the book, the main character hooked up with someone else... meanwhile everyone was busy dying of the plague. That was super weird to 17 year old me.
In media class, we covered Slumdog Millionaire. My attention span wasn't great, so at the time, I found it hard to follow. I noticed the other kids in my class were super into it, so I knew it must have been a great movie. I ended up watching it again a few years ago and enjoyed it.
We had a young but intense science teacher, who showed us a documentary about a body farm. It was extremely graphic and shocking stuff to see at that age. I remember seeing a bloated body that had turned yellow, and he reminded me of Homer Simpson, which I found disturbing. Years later I found it on YouTube, but it seems to be wiped from the platform and replaced with similar documentaries.
As an honourary mention, in primary school, we watched a lot of The Land Before Time! I remember how exciting it was when the lights were dimmed, and they rolled in a TV.
