Half Term

So, half term has dawned. It's a well deserved break, I must say. I had 9 exams this week, surprisingly enough the art exam was the best! Me and Beth have decided that Mr Lymer is only ever happy when the art exams are in process. So, I'm looking forward to the next one!

Today, however, I am off to see The Devil Wears Prada mit meine Familie. Well my brother and my mum, my dad is still enjoyin himself in Rio. Then we are to buy a load of stationary (notebooks, calendar/ diary etc etc) in and around the beloved Chav City that is Crawley.

Anywayz, that's not interesting. Yesterday evening me and Beth watched Forrest Gump - yes, I have not seen it before - and I think it's quite good. Also quite strange but you get used to the annoying accents and stuff. She also stole half an hour of that time on this computer because "I'm going to die without the internet for 4 weeeeeeeeeks!" - nuff said.

Going to Wales with beth on Wed-nes-daaaaay. Should be fun. She is, however, expecting a ton of surf shops but there is only like one. Ther eis an old fashioned sweetshop though which i m sure she could spend all her time in! Haha. We are staying in Aberporth, just along the coast from Cardigan Bay.

Currently listening to The Click Five - Just The Girl. It's the first time I've heard it, tis tres bon. Sound a bit like Busted! Haha, cept better - obvs. Currently reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. I lent Beth The Girl In Times Square and she thought she wouldn't like it but she's glued!!! Haha, that showed her!

On Tuesday I'm working. 6 hours, not 5 hours this time. I gotta get there early to tidy up and stay late to tidy away - boring! But an extra £6! That's £36 for the next few weeks. It'll be gone as soon as I've been payed, I tell ya. I hope I have a nice kid on Tues, hopefully Annie or Dan White or Gareth or Ellie. But I bet I won't cuz I've said that now, damn it!

Will write again as soon as I'm back from Wales.

LuvOO

The Life Of The Average

Another day, another person.
They sweep through your mind in a whirlwind of frustration.
"Hello, Sam", "Hey, Kate".
Manners, rules, everything you wish to hate.

The expected and the unsurprising.
Nothing out of the ordinary, same old, same old.
Useless facts from books and school.
Like dipping your toes in a poisonous pool.

Elizabeth, Juliet, Emma and friends.
All those heroines whom you've never met.
Their graceful manners swamped with pride.
Their thieving brothers, sneaky and snide.

All these books, all these films.
Never tell the truth, only their fancys.
Fantasy witheld, secrets revealed.
The entire story is mixed, unnoticed and congealed.

The confusing elements undecided.
For which the confused never wonder upon.
Expressions of amazement, faces of sadness.
All within these are moments of madness.

Out of this madness comes focus and sensibility.
The idiots walk as the clever ones talk.
The girls watch the boys as they go by.
Showing off as the girls ask why.

And through this curtain of time and forever.
There holds a place hearts can renew.
Beating only to let you exist.
To give you life - the life you missed.
