So, I have 9 A level exams. Four of these are resits, because I failed them the first time. Oh dear.

In about four weeks, I have to learn two years worth of maths, a years work of Chemistry, and a years worth of English.

I’m getting there. Slowly. VERY slowly.

As I have mentioned on here before, (effort to link, find it yourself if you’re that bothered really), I am an excellent procrastinator. It also doesn’t help that the cat is attention seeking.

I have been playing WAY too much Minecraft. Seriously, that game sucks you in. Almost literally.

F1 also occasionally rears its awesome head to further distract me. But I really don’t mind that too much.

What annoys me the most is the overwhelming urge to complete as many mundane tasks I possibly can. Like rearranging my itunes, or my shoes, (which doesn’t take long, there aren’t really that many to organise), or trying on every item of clothing I can find. Which does take long. VERY LONG.

Also plucking my eyebrows. I’ve become extremely vigilant.

Yes, I know I probably shouldn’t be writing this right now. In fact I almost definitely shouldn’t. But I have managed to justify it to myself as practice for my English exam. Which is in two days.

I am extremely excellent at unnecessary justification. Especially recently. (Check that vocabulary. Totally going to pass that thing. Aww yeah…)

I dislike writing on my iPad.
I have become too accustomed to the spellchecker on this. I was writing with a real pen today, spelt something wrong and was confused that I couldn’t delete it or have another option.
I AM TERRIBLE AT STAYING ON TOPIC, and for that I wholeheartedly apologise. I feel like doing Chemistry now, so I’d better do it before that feeling goes.

Anyway, whenever someone I know finds out what I like to listen to, they judge me terribly. Or try to disown me.     It depends on how much they know me, to be honest.

One of my favourite artists is Eminem. If you look at me, face to face, I really don’t seem like the type of person who listens to angry rap about murder, and other such odd subjects. I’m quite shy, and a little bit strange. I HAVE A BLOG. TYPICAL EMINEM FANS DO NOT BLOG.

I just love his music. The anger that he shows seems to trivialise my problems, and just generally cheer me up. I really started listening to it when my parents split up, and I found an old Marshal Mathers LP in the cupboard. I remembered these songs from when I was young (the clean versions obviously) and started to get into his music.

Recently, I have become slightly obsessed with Queen. I went to stage school, and so have been brainwashed into constantly singing and/or dancing. For the past week, I’ve had ‘Fat Bottomed Girls‘ stuck in my head, and have infected several people.

Last summer, my friend and I (proper grammar there) went down to London. It was a strange journey. We went to see We Will Rock You, and, due to lack of sleep, I became convinced that I had been ‘Inceptioned’ and it was all just a dream. And now I can’t remember the first half of the show. Which is disappointing as the tickets were rather expensive.

There is more I want to talk about, but I’m tired and also lazy.

I might turn this into a two-part thing.

Yes. I will.

To be continued…(maybe)…

In the true spirit of oddity, I will start with the second subject mentioned in the title. Punctuality. Something I am terrible at. It has got so bad, that my friend and I discussed telling each other to meet half an hour before we actually want to meet.

THIS IS VERY BAD, especially when you are 17 and can’t get anywhere on time. I don’t even know how I manage it. It is getting ridiculous. I truly believe that I need help.

I’m not really sure of the relevance of that, but smeh, anyway, on with the blogging!

I find it difficult to keep to a schedule of when to post, so it normally ends up being totally random. I apologise. I also need to start planning things, instead of improvising. Off topic AGAIN. SORRY.

What I actually wanted to say, is that I don’t know how people do it.

How they manage to blog every day, or every week, or whenever they have time.

Because I am so bad at life, I genuinely can’t keep to an actual schedule for anything.

I struggle enough at college trying to remember what day it is. I AM DOOMED.

So… this had no point at all, and just turned into a giant bunch of ramble. SORRY. I will try to put something meaningful, or more on an actual topic, sometime in the future.

I’ll set a reminder, or write it on my face or something. I will try REALLY hard not to forget (and that’ll work) SHUT UP BRACKETED TEXT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY LIFE

Maybe I should try to sleep now.

One thing I like to do is to listen to some awesome music. Oasis normally works, but if I feel angry then rap always cheers me up. Music has been proven to improve mood through studies, but you don’t need a study to prove that, really. Also, ridiculously cheesy or bad music seems to make you feel better. I don’t know why this happens, but it gives me an excuse to listen to it so I just accept it.

Drinking tea works for me. This may be because I am English, and stereotype dictates that I must drink tea to be classed as an English person. Or food in general. But too much food makes you fat. Remember that.

Painting, or drawing is extremely therapeutic (spelt that right FIRST TIME…BOOM) and pretty too. The feeling of having done something that you can be proud of, of achievement, is very fulfilling. I’ve been doing quite a lot of that recently.

Learning something new! Like learning pi to as many places as you can (3.14159265358979323846), or something maybe more useful would be better. Like the ukulele, or Latin. Latin is good.

I hope this helped. This is only what makes me feel better, but maybe one of these will work for you.

Apparently, three weeks ago was the optimum time to sell old iPad 2′s. This was also the time I got my iPad. This irritated me, as I had no idea that there was a new one coming out, and would have completely waited a few weeks for the new one.

The only thing is, I don’t think that there is really enough difference between the new and the old model to warrant a whole new iPad. If there is a new one, I think that it should be radically different. Like the iPad 2 had a front facing camera, which the original iPad didn’t.

The only real difference in the iPad 3 is the fact that it has a higher resolution screen. Which will, in about three seconds, be completely covered with fingerprints that you will be unable to see anything anyway.

I’m not prejudiced, or an Apple hater, (in fact, I am quite a lover of both Apple and apples), but I don’t think it is revolutionary enough. There should be lasers, or downloadable food or kittens or something.

There you go, Apple. Downloadable kittens. Something for you to work on. An ultimate goal.

You’re welcome.

DO NOT WANT.

I will stop ranting so much, and post more awesome things like apples. Apples are still awesome and underrated. STILL. After all of my most heartfelt effort to save them, they are still going down in popularity. Bring them back!

Also groovy. That needs to come back.

Apples are groovy.

THERE!!!! I am a genius.

I was going to leave it there, but decided that was completely unacceptable for a post. I just think that generally, fanfiction is awesome.

There is some that is a bit… well… odd, to say the least. And some that is rather badly spelt. But once in a while, you come across a real gem of a story. One with original ideas, and without badly written sex scenes every ten lines.

That is the kind of fanfiction I like.

In a completely unrelated vein, I have decided to start writing fanfiction. I have started a crossover story about The Legend of Zelda, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

It will be TOTALLY awesome.

Also, I want an apple.

This can often be a problem for me. For example, I like to read fanfiction. But if that story is not spelt perfectly, then my attention just wanders. I understand that the author may have spent a lot of time and effort on their story, and it may be an excellent story, but I just can’t take you seriously if you don’t know how to spell.

I underlined that bit for emphasis. I hope that shows.

Yes, this is now a bit of a rant, but I feel that this is a problem. Many people can’t distinguish between their, there and they’re or your and you’re. Nowadays, all you need is a spell checker and an internet thesaurus and you sound like a bloody genius.

In my writing, I naturally use long, or ‘fancy’ sounding words, often prompting my teachers to ask if I use a thesaurus. It all comes from my brain. I think that people should spend more time learning their English, and less time posting inane nonsense on the Facebook.

Rant over.

Many apologies.

(I just read this over, and it gets more ranty as it goes on. Strange)

Years ago, apples were the only fruit available to the poor, as they were one of the easiest fruits to grow in the climate of England. They were also cheaper than other, more exotic fruits, such as grapes. This is mainly where the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away!” comes from.

Eating an apple in the morning is more effective at waking you up than caffeine, they are a good source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E, and K, and contain minerals such as potassium, calcium, manganese and magnesium. (There are other vitamins and minerals, but most of them just sound scary and off-putting.) They are hydrating, and there are lots of other, medical reasons to eat them. For those reasons which I cannot be bothered to write, click this exciting link here. –> http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/10-health-benefits-of-apples.html

Apples are pretty and also bloody delicious. Think about it, would Snow White have risked her life for an orange? NO. She would have not. They’re just not the same, are they?
