Ever so slight controversy

I don't like Harry Potter. I really don't. Hence the reason that tomorrow I will not be watching it at the cinema, but will instead go to see Brüno with my father, hopefully not getting caught in the crowds of fans dressed as wizards.

I'd choose flamboyant homosexuals over fantasy and magic any day :)

Wow

Perhaps I sometimes worry excessively because I know what's going to happen so I'm given an opportunity to dread it. Maybe my life would work out better for me if it was more spontaneous. Then again, one can always be apprehensive about the uncertainty of the future.

People tell me that I'd look pretty with straightened hair and makeup, but then isn't that just saying that my mask is pretty, and not the actual me? Therefore, I feel most honoured when someone compliments my appearance when I have my hair up in a ponytail.

I secretly really, really, enjoy watching makeup videos on Youtube even though I don't wear any makeup.

I already dislike the dusting of a tan that the sun has given me with a few sprinkles of burning. This is odd considering I have been regularly applying SPF 25 suncream.

I wash my hair everyday unless I have no intention of leaving the house. And I'm very meticulous about my showering and toothbrushing habits, also.

There are so many people that I see and think 'I want to be you' but I realise that even if their life seems to be much better than mine, there's always an attribute of myself that I wouldn't be willing to give up just to be someone else. Well, nearly always.

How do I have 49 profile views? Hmm, interesting.

I really want to start making Youtube videos, but I'm still unsure about it. I'd like to be part of the nerdfighter community (not people who fight nerds, rather nerds that fight, but not literally... oh, just go her http://nerdfighters.ning.com/)

I'd quite like to go to Alton Towers after having to go to Drayton Manor for 3 years.

More people should really own cats.

Only 3 more years that I have to stay here, only one more year at secondary school.

A friend's rabbit just died :(

That's all for now.

Admiration

Today I heard my father on the radio and it made me really want to follow in his footsteps. He's a comedian and I've always thought that would be a great career to have. It's not always stable, but the feeling of amusing people is so rewarding that it doesn't matter.

I think I'd love to be so many things at once - actress, comedian, author, photographer and so many other things that I've considered. But they're the four main dreams. It's odd that none of them are particularly academic. Even so, I'll probably do a degree in some kind of science/psychology/philosophy at university if the whole RADA dream fails. Ultimately, I want to do both. I want to have an academic career and a creative career.

Hmm, I never imagined myself to be the kind of child saying 'When I grow up, I want to be just like my mummy/daddy'. Well, in some ways I do. I wouldn't want my mum's career (being a secretary seems a bit tedious) but I hope I've inherited her compassion and warm heart (and on a purely vain note, her young, relatively wrinkle-free skin). And I'd like my dad's comedy skills and that something about him that's hard to put my finger on but draws people in. Also, thankfully I think I have his fast metabolism. Both parents have plenty of charisma so I hope I've got that, too.

Another reason to love Drama (the acting kind)

Today in Drama we did a lot of improvisation and warm-up games. One of the most fun is when everyone adopts a character and an improvisation takes place in a particular situation, usually transport. These characters are taken through various emotions and phases, instructed by the teacher. Today it was on a cruise that all characters had won as a prize. My character was incredibly snobby and turned her nose up at the 'common' cruise, constantly professing that she could afford so much better. She was horrified to discover that champagne and caviar were not served, and could not cope without her milk bath that she expected to have run for her by the staff.

At one point, the scenario was that everyone had just gotten their period and the captain was the only man. It was incredibly funny (I think you'd have to be there) with everyone either filled with rage, pain, misery or a combination of the three. The best part was the captain trying to cope with the whole situation. I just hope I'm never on an all-women cruise where everyone has their period.

Last day of school tomorrow :) Then a 7 week summer. I just hope I can sort things out and be the me I really want to be by the end of it.

Have an open mind

Providing that a faith or religion has a positive outlook on life and can exist in harmony with the rest of the world, I respect it. I just really wish that people could respect a lack of religion, too.

I'm agnostic and would need solid scientific evidence to believe in a religion. And I fully believe in evolution because there is solid scientific evidence to prove it. It's not just 'silly monkeys' as some misinformed religious people believe. Religion and evolution can coincide.

In other news, I went to Drayton Manor today for the end-of-school-year trip. It was fun, but rife with chavs. Without doubt, I prefer Alton Towers. I went there with school in Year 7, but ever since then we've always gone t0 Drayton Manor. It's getting boring now. Thankfully, that's the last time I'll have to go.

I just found out something which perhaps I shouldn't have ;)

Unimpressed

I don't want to go to Drayton Manor. Enough said.

I know some people who are being taken out of school for the remainder of the term in case they catch Swine Flu. This is their parents' doing.

I just want to shake some sense into them. Swine Flu is no more dangerous than normal flu unless there are underlying health problems. There are only 3 days left at school. Ridiculous.

I'm buying a Swine Flu Giant Microbe http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ for a friend. We enjoyed the Swine Flu pandemic panic. I was quite happy then. Also, I made a new friend thanks to our Swine Flu banter exchanged on a popular social networking site thanks to the aforementioned friend.

Need to blog

No time to blog. Can't blog well if lacking the time. Tomorrow (maybe).

For a few minutes I really appreciated where I lived. Now I feel out of place again.
