Dude, no-one wears pants in London.  
School is crap. At this rate, I am going to fail all my A-levels and won't get into Bradford, let alone Cardiff. I have read my whole friends list, I don't have the energy to comment but I have read. Anyway, here are my horribly biased mini-reviews/summaries/opinions of the finales of Shameless and Skins 'cause I ain't posted 'em yet.

Also. Can someone please tell my how is my little brother turning 12 tomorrow? Srsly! My little surrogate cousin is four soon as well, if he hasn't turned four already. Tell them to stop it, they shouldn't be that old.

What was it, space pig?  
I haven't updated in a month. That is really rather bad isn't it. I've been a terrible commenter too. Nothing much has happened. Had Easter. RPed. Went back to school. Need to revise. I'm 18 in a month. etc.

Torchwood finale was on Friday. I am polite enough not to post pretty major spoilers without cuts.
Torchwood )

All the TV programs I've been watching are finishing series now, British ones anyway. Torchwoods last episode was on Friday, Shameless finishes this Tuesday and Skins is finishing a week on Monday. I still have Reaper (although we've caught up the US so no new episodes for a while) and Heroes should be starting again soon. Doctor Who is going to be the only British program on my television schedule. Some of the good panel shows better be starting up soon. All American programs is probably not good for me.

I have writers block and need to wirte some more stuff it write up. Pretty please give me some ideas for original short stories. I would love you forever... or a few hours at least. The more random the better. I promise to have 'em posted up within a month.  (I've abandoned that world book day story as crap)

It wasn't me hallucinating or a very big gust of wind! Fuck!

I was watching Shameless and the house jumped forward, then the settee vibrated a bit.

Also, I'm writing a short story for a 'World book Day' competion at school. I will have to cut the gay sex out of it for the copy I hand in. In my current plan, it is quite important to the plot... but it needs sutible for school librarians and any 12-year-olds that might read it by accident. Maybe I should just change my plot! ...How coy and innuendo-laden do you think I can make sex?
I also need to include: teacups, beer, bears, pears, ambulances, impact, fizzbang (ha, I just found an innuendo!), stairs, photos, a video camera and flowers. This isn't part of the competition, I just wanted to make it harder for myself.

I need to get better at not ignoring the internet. 

Robert Gordon have invited me to an 'Applicants' Day' in March. I wonder just how long it is going to take me to get to Aberdeen. I'm probably going to catch the train down after school and then stay overnight. My current plan is to go to Cardiff (Nottingham isn't completely out of the question yet though) and have Bradford as my backup. I'm going to look at Robert Gordon anyways though. It gets me a day off school.
I can't wait to leave. I think 'Soul-Sucking' is the best adjective for describing. Leaving and never coming back seems such a lovely idea. However, I don't think there is a way of de-deferring  my university entry so I go this year rather than next. It's probably for the best. The work experience will do me good and money.

Anyways:

Why is humanity such nasty species? Seriously, if we were just a teeny bit nicer to each other the world would be a great place to live. I think someone should make a law that says you have to do one nice thing per day or you shan't be allowed chocolate for a year. It would be brillant, especially with random people being nice. Few things can make my day more random acts of kindness from strangers.
For example on my tenth birthday, we were visiting my aunt in France and we were at this replication old village. (Which is unbelieveably awesome but not the point of this) There was an old man there making and selling wooden spinning tops and someone mentioned that it was my birthday so he made me a little spinning top as a present. It was very sweet.That's really silly but it's stuck with me. I can't actually recall keeping any of the other presents from my tenth birthday. (Although I would have liked to keep the candles on my cake for potential winding-people-up purposes. They resused point blank to go out no matter what we tried.)

I feel really crappy today. Can you tell? ...And I think I have something wrong with the blood vessels my legs, like a blood clot or something. I keep getting deep pains in midway down my thigh, usually my right but sometimes my left as well. I've also had purpura (which is purplish non-fading rash you get with meningitis) on my left leg. (I really should have had that looked at actually) I'm probably just being a hypochondriac. It might just be from spending too much time sitting on my arse.

Since it's January 11th and I haven't said anything about my christmas yet: It was alright, nothing to write home about. I suffered from a mild case of 'family' and got Heroes DVDs. I didn't do anything for new years. I would have liked to but meh. I'll go out next New Year. 

I sat a physics paper of pure evil today. (I am aware that physics exams tend to be evil but this one went to a whole new level of evil, previously only occupied by cats. Maybe it was cats that wrote it and that's why it was so evil.) One question involved two sealed boxes in a circuit each with two resistors in parallel in it and we were supposed to say what measurement to take 'with the aid of a voltmeter' and how to determine which box had the 1ohm resistor in it. If I wanted to consider the content of boxes, I would have played deal or no deal... And I will swear that that wasn't on the syllabus.

I want to emigrate and get away and make a new life where no-one knows me. Not in the immediate, or even the very near, future but eventually. I don't know where to, somewhere nice and probably where english is spoken. (Although, I would be very willing to learn a new language.) Not the USA 'cause in all honesty, it scares me, and probably not Canada because I have relatives there. Australia maybe or Hong Kong. I would love to live in Germany, at least for a little bit. I'd have to a lot of work to improve on my horrendous, GCSE German but it would be worth it. 
Maybe I should just get a string of foreign lovers and live with them.

I have to go back to school tomorrow and I don't want to. I will make a proper update eventually, I just don't feel like it right now.

1. Leave me a casual comment of no particular significance, like a lyric to your current favorite song, your favorite kind of sandwich, or maybe your favorite game. Any remark, meaningless or not.

2. I will respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.

3. Update your LJ with the answers to the questions.

4. Include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in your own post.

5. When others respond with a desultory comment, you will ask them five questions.


From [info]firedragon9

1. What's your favorite color sweatshirt?
Dark purple. That top seems to collect my hair though. (I wonder what it does with it... I hope it's not black magic) I don't wear it very often for that reason.

2. Do you like camping?
It's not my favourite thing to do. I'm not the outdoorsy type. 

3. What fandom can you just not get into?
Fullmetal Alchemist. I've tried as hard as I can but I keep being faced with the incest fics and running. 

4. What movie/book needs more fiction?
Billy's Beetle! Actually. No... please don't. Um... I'd quite like to see some more fic for some of Garth Nix books. 

5. Who do you hate?
Um... Well, on an individual level, a couple of people who I won't name... And groups (ZOMG prejudice) I hate neo-nazis and I'm not fond of scary conservative christians.

Want! 
Why did I not come across this site earlier? I could have asked for Typhoid fever for Christmas. Typhoid fever should definitely not be that cute. (Polio is a suitably ugly fuck though.) However, it is my birthday at the start of May. I must bookmark this site for use in April. 

Since I probably won't be online until at least the 27th: 

Merry Christmas!

I've got all my offers! I just need to reply to them now and I have until May to do that. I need to choose a firm choice and an insurance choice, in case I don't get the grades and pleading doesn't work. I guess I have until May to choose between Cardiff and Nottingham and I think Bradford will be my insurance.

I've done all my university interviews! I went to Cardiff on Wednesday and Bradford last Wednesday. (That was ages ago and I am only posting now?) Bradford has given me offer of BBC and I think Cardiff are going to give me one. Cardiff seems geekish. Geekish and nice. They have a 'Harry Potter' society! (and 'Custard Wrestling' society) I have to choose between Cardiff and Nottingham now... if Cardiff give me the offer. I'll try not to think about that for now.

I also managed to buy the last of my Christmas presents in Cardiff. Yay! Most importantly, of course, I bought me a pretty goldstone heart necklace. My present is clearly the most important.
It doesn't feel chistmassy yet but it is in two weeks. The decorations are up everywhere, bad TV is starting, I have all my presents and people are playing Christmas songs in the sixth form room. (And Lion King... Until you've seen (heard?) several 17-year-olds singing along off-key to 'Hakuna Matata' at the top of their voices, you are missing a valuble life experience) It should feel like Christmas! Damn it!

Mrs Gibbs is doing the 'sixth form must give money to charity or else' thing again. It's only compulsary for year 12 though this year, which is good. I hate being forced to give to charity, it feels unethical. Charity is about choosing to give to cause that you care about. It isn't about being 'encouraged' to give because it'll make the school look good if they raise a lot for charity. (Cynical, me? Never!) Rawr, I are an annoyed Volunteer.

I just looked Volunteer up on wiki: A volunteer is someone who serves in a community or helps out the homeless or eats some pie for the benefit of natural environment primarily because they choose to do so... Why have I not had any pie yet?

 Nottingham wants me for nefarious purposes They sent me a letter saying that I receive their 'standard offer for entry to the MPharm degree in September 2009'... so ABB then. They havn't actually told UCAS yet (they say they're going to) but I'm in! ...if I get the grades.

Also, if you plan to play gitish practical 'jokes', would it not be a good idea to make you arn't being watched by a member of the staff? Some moron turned our 'Open' sign around today. This is not in itself a hideous crime, it would have caused a few problems if not caught soon but is easily sorted, but I was watching him do this and making no effort whatsoever to hide the fact that I was watching him do this.  When I told him to 'Turn that back the right way, please' (because you can't say 'Turn that back the right way now, Dickwad' to potential customers) he just looked pleased with himself and walked out. 
No! You would only have the right to be pleased with yourself if you had managed to do that without being noticed by anyone. That would make me, that shop-dwelling girl who was visibly watching you, rather confused and a bit annoyed and would be quite funny. Honestly, don't try gitish practical 'jokes' unless you know how to do them properly.

I'm thinking of changing my name to something masculine. I could claim it was for feminist reasons but really I just prefer how male names sound compared to female names and I want to confuse people. I quite like the name 'Theodore'.

First of all and very importantly, I have to say Happy Birthday to [info]firedragon9. (because I am crap and forgotted it)

Less importantly and sorry to lower the mood, I have to say Fuck You to the religious post on my flist a few days ago.
