I don’t like having numbers as a title, silly WordPress

Sunday is normally my day to write, because it is the only day of the week which I am not either a) at school or b) working. However, at the moment, my Sundays are FILLED with essays, research and assignments. It’s not fun. I’ve managed to pull myself away from my busy busy schedule to [...]

Glasses

Once I wrote on here about smoking, and how ridiculous it is. I completely stand by everything I said (although I am just remembering, so that might be a bit inaccurate.)
HOWEVER, I realised recently that I am a bit of a hypocrite.
I do not smoke, and wouldn’t because I am not an idiot, however I [...]

Lists

I like lists, mostly.
When I think of lists, I think of short term lists and long term lists.
A short term list is your bog standard list of favourite things, likes/dislikes, reminders of things you have to do, shopping lists, weighing out pros and cons, etc. All of the above. I love writing lists like these. [...]

One blog to read before you die

Today, I was looking at a selection of ‘before you die’ lists (100 books to read, 25 films to see, 100 things to do, etc.) and it got me thinking. What do I want to do before I die?
I decided that I was going to write my own list, so I looked around google to [...]

National Peanut Day

Apparently, today is National Peanut Day, and since I have nothing else to talk about, this will have to do.
I love peanuts, honey-roasted in particular. I am also an avid peanut butter fan. However, everbody knows someone who is allergic to peanuts, it is a common allergy. Thus, this must be one on the shittiest [...]

Narration

I’ve mentioned before about an internal monologue, and narration, but this is a bit different.
Today in English Lit, my teacher was talking about narration, and how we are all biased narrators for several reasons. He continued to discuss the process of narration and what information we tend to include.
I don’t tell you everything, and what [...]

Sometimes parents make me angry

Generally, I have a good relationship with my parents, particularly with my Mum. But, sometimes I just feel like my Mum doesn’t appreciate that I am a good daughter. I do/don’t do a lot of things for the benefit of my parents, and my brother does the exact opposite. However, he’s blatantly the favourite. He’s [...]

01 – Man or Animal

This is a part of my series ‘the Unhelpful genie’
 
Aladdin rubbed a shiny, antique, golden lamp; I rubbed a £9, shitty, plastic lamp from Matalan. Aladdin travelled deep into the unknown and risked his life for his lamp; I got a lift from my Mum to our local town. You get what you pay for.
So, [...]

Introduction – the unhelpful Genie

I have had an idea (shock horror) for a new ’style’ of blog. I would like to propose a kind of series which I will start here on my blog. The title for this series of posts is ‘the unhelpful Genie’ and I find it quite hard to describe as it is quite a weird [...]
