My Second Meet With Victor

MSN Conversation with Victor - Wednesday 13th May 2009

13:05

Victor: Hey! Hows You?

Katie: I’m good thanks are you up for coming over later so I can ask you some more questions relating to my project?

Victor: Yeah sure, I’ve just got up so gonna jump in the shower then come straight over but I have to be done by 5 because I need to go to this training course thing later.

Katie: Ok kool… Do you want lunch? Have you eaten?
Victor: Not yet…yeah if your making something that would be great! See you in a bit, just need to sort myself out.

14:15

Victor: I’m walking around now :0).

I check out Victor’s last status on Face Book:

Victor MuMufasa Amzie is Munchin! – 7:47pm (12th may).

He has quite a few messages from friends and his activity shows that he had been playing cards the night before.

14:30 - When I let Victor in I heard that he sounded a bit down and upset in his voice. I asked him what was wrong and he just said it was todo with him lacking in the money department. He said he felt a bit low because he had no money to do anything and felt like he was missing out on a lot of stuff because he couldn’t get there. He also said he was worried that he couldn’t get to his 2nd audition of the x factor the following Thursday.

14:35 – I tell Victor we are having prawns and rice for lunch which made him smile and then I asked him what he had been up to.

“Apart from going to a BBQ yesterday and getting in at 7:!5 this morning, I’ve just been job hunting and moning around the house really….nothing special at all. I really wanna go out but I’m going to have to wait until pay day”.

Victor has just been chilling round his mates houses who live local for the past week or so and has been debating how much longer he can take working at his job for. He then reminds himself that he clearly needs the money but at the same time doesn’t want to compromise his free time for more shifts. He still seems a bit tired from the night before.

14:40 – I serve the food for us to eat. Victor talks about the training his doing for American football and says that its wearing him out.

Victor - “I’ve had a dead leg for the past three days it’s been really annoying but I guess I’ve just got to get on with it”.

Katie – “So how is the weight loss going? Are you a happy weight now?”

Victor – It’s up and down, some days I will be really good and get down to the gym or play football but other days I just do nothing and eat crap food. It really depends how inspired I feel.

Katie – “What made you decide that you wanted to loose weight any way?”

Victor – Comfort, general heath, and sport basically. I am glad I have lost this much weight but I would like to loose more.

15:05 – After we eat I offer him some chocolate and he says that he is going to take it home for his brothers. I then ask him to record a video talking about his relationship to Facebook and what he does when he is on there. He talks for over a minute about the different applications he uses and his general routine when he goes online. He also says that most of the time when his online his actually on the go on his blackberry just catching up with anything that may be going on. He tells me that this makes life for him so much more easier because it means he doesn’t have to go home first to check where he needs to go next…he can just go straight there.

15:15 – After doing the video I get down to asking Victor some questions. He is watching Rikki Lake in the background ‘Girls who lovegays’ (his choice of channel) with a low volume. He is constantly giggling.

Katie – So you haven’t been clubbing recently? When you do go to a club, what makes you go to the particular ones that you go to?

Victor – No I’ve been a good boy and haven’t been raving in a while.I normally go to the places because of the prices, the people who are there, the atmosphere, the location (if its long to get home and I’m not staying at no body’s or no one is driving back then its not happening!), the interior and the music (because I ain’t dancing to no techno druggy music!).

Katie – Your last outfit I saw you in the first time we met for this project was quite bright, can you talk me through why you chose to wear this outfit today?

Victor – (sarcastic voice) well I chose the combat shorts because I wanted to give my legs some air, the same goes with the rolled down socks to my ankles. Eventhough it looks a bit dull outside it is actually quite warm so I chose to wear the layered look so I could take off my jacket if need be. I am wearing a slim fitted t-shirt to show off my new physique and my hair is in a du-rag because it’s a mess and I need to get it sorted out. Plus I’m probably going to be running around quite a lot later so I needed it out of the way.

Katie – (laughing at previous answer) So do you have any events coming up that you plan to attend?

Victor – Well apart from my usual scattering about town I have got my second audition for x factor tomorrow, got a friends birthday party at a club at the weekend and a football tournament at the weekend (I hope my leg gets better).

Katie – Sorry this was more to do with the clubbing question – what do drink when you are out clubbing? Do you tend to get a take away or any kind of food after?

Victor – I normally drink beers or spirits. Sometimes when I have promoted for clubs they have given me a bottle of champagne or winebut I don’t tend to buy this because it gets me pretty drunk fast. I do like the feeling of being tipsy but I like to be sober most of the time to face the night bus journey on the way home….or more often then not to look after the girls who are out with me (some of them end up getting into arguments or end up feeling ill themselves). I normally always get some kind of junk food after….i completely ignore the diet if I’m hungry after a night out!

Katie – What are the last 5 things you purchased?

Victor – Well not a lot because I’m super broke! Erm…I would say money on my oyster card in the local corner shop, some burgers for the BBQ last night, a slush puppy from work yesterday, a bottle of water at the shop and some pasta from Tesco’s on my lunch on Monday.



Katie – If you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?

Victor – (Thinks for ages) Erm….Lively, Active and Rhythmic

Katie – Interesting….and where would you like to see yourself in 5 years?

Victor – Comfortable with money, maybe living abroad in a nice house, with a teaching job and a nice car.

Katie – If you had £5000 to spend now what would you spend it on?

Victor – Firstly a car because I have wanted one for ages and probably a holiday abroad.



Katie – Would you say you have any fashion inspiration from celebrities?

Victor – Not really, actually I would say sports figures like Beckham. But generally no…I just throw stuff together and hope it looks good. I would consider my style as a sporty, urban and unique.



Katie – Are there any celebrities that your into at the moment?

Victor – I wouldn’t say so…I suppose I have used some inspiration from Donell Jones, Usher and Sisqo for my X Factor auditions and I like them as singers but I wouldn’t follow up on their lives or anything.



Katie - So are there any songs that you really like at the moment or artists?

Victor – I’m into J Holiday, The Dream and I’m liking T-Pain at the moment. Any kinds of slow jams I love! Everyone is kind of into funky house at the moment so that’s pretty obvious!




Katie – What are the last 3 films you saw?

Victor – I love going to the cinema…especially on orange Wednesdays!The last films I saw were The Haunting In Connecticut, Too Fast To Furious and 17 Again. I am a bit bummed though because there are still loads I haven’t seen because I haven’t had the chance….I might go tonight though!

Katie – What cinema’s do you tend to go to?


Victor – Vue cinemas because I can use my Orange Wednesdays there. The last 3 I went to were at the o2 arena, South Woodford and Surry Quays because they were quite local to where I was at the time.

Katie – And finally if you had a top five of things from you week what would they be? For example a favourite quote, food, a song, a film, an object…

Victor – Erm…………….My first would be….1. T-shirts2. End of the football season3. X Factor auditions4. End of exams – Start of social life (for my friends)5. Facebook on blackberry

Katie - And what would be a bad thing of the week for you?

Victor – Wii Fit saying that I’m obese!



Katie – Any Jjokes of the week?
Victor – How do you wake up lady gag a?............Poke-Her-Face!
