Exhausted - 24/02

Have you ever woken up after a reasonable number of hours sleeping and just felt like you have spent the past 48 hours on a sugar high and you've finally crashed? No? Just me? Okay.

Basically, I woke up this morning in a travellodge a couple of hours away from my home (I had to go to a family party) with a very bad back (I was sleeping on a sofa, I'm not a middle-aged person...or so I say) and I just wanted to go back to sleep. But nooooooo, apparently I had to go back home. When I finally dragged my tired arse off the sofa, I had to do my morning routine.

That was the slowest I have ever completed my morning routine. Even when I wake up on a Saturday morning at sometime in the afternoon I go quicker than I did then...if you don't count the hours spent in my pjs after I get out of bed. I was so sluggish, it was painful.

Then I was outside, and I was about to get in the car so I could sleep or, as my mom puts it, drive home. Mom was doing the driving, I should probably have mentioned that. My uncle chose that point to tell me that I looked like shit. I'm not even paraphrasing, my uncle literally said to me "Anna, you look like shit."

Thanks.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Complaining - 22/02

Well, it's been a bloody brilliant week, but that all ends today and come Monday I'll have to return to school. I'm not exactly looking forward to it. There's something about school that I just cannot stand, I would rather be physically injured than have to actually go, and that's not right. And I'm not the only person who feels like this.

I used to absolutely love school, it was my favourite thing in the whole world. Not because of my friends (because I didn't have many growing up), but because I absolutely LOVE learning new things. Finding out facts about certain facts of life, or how one thing will fit with another, I love it all! But since I've started secondary school (muggle equivalent to Hogwarts) I have found my love for school decreasing rapidly.

Now that I'm in year 10 and I have my GCSEs next year, we have to learn the syllabus for these exams so that we can get the best marks possible in the exams, but these exams aren't testing what we learn, they're testing our memories and, with essay questions, they're testing how well we can outsmart the examiners. And our lessons are reflecting that.

I haven't really learned very many new things this year because my teachers are focusing more on the whole 'exam technique' thing, which I completely agree with, for these exams it is something that we need to know, but it is one of the reasons why I am finding school so unenjoyable. I'm not learning ANYTHING interesting, except maybe in maths.

And then you have the added amount of homework and the stress I can get over never doing it.

And then you have the lonliness.

And then you have the crappy teachers.

And I could go on.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Boring - 21/02

I haven't exactly been keeping up with this, I am aware of that, and I do apologize, but even now, writing something after a few days break, I realise that I have nothing to write about. What can I say, I lead a boring life. Nothing much to report.

However, I do have to mention that today is 2.21.13 in the American calender which does look like 221B which means that it must be a Sherlock day, like every other day in my life really but today the date reflects that. It just had to mentioned, like May 2nd, or July 31st. You just can't not.

And that is the highlight of my day.

See, I'm boring.

No wonder I lose inspiration for these things.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Chocolate - 18/02

I have just eaten a choclate brownie desert with a cheesecake like structure and YES IT WAS AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT SOUNDS! I AM IN HEAVEN RIGHT NOW AND I NEED MOOOORREEEE OF THIS AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS DESERT!!!!!!!!!!!

I likey me some nice food.

What have I done today other than sit on my arse, eat constantly and watch videos on my iPad? Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

It's been a bloody perfect day if you ask me.

And now I have nothing to report.

Hey! At least I'm updating this today!

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Sims - 17/02

Okay, I know, I'm getting seriously bad at this, but I've been soooo busy recently that I just haven't found the time to...

You guys don't believe me, do you?

Not that I blame you, I don't believe me either.

But hey, who actually keeps up with this blog??? Really?

Exxxxxxacty.

Now that that's out of the way...I have nothing to talk about. Come on guys, it's a Sunday and Sunday's are boring. I have literally spent all morning sitting around on my iPad doing nothing and eating so much that right now I feel ready to burst. Not really anything interesting to report...

Although my Sims did get divorced today, and then both left the house, leaving their twin daughters with the woman's recently preggers sister, so that was fun. The kids don't really seem that bothered to be honest, they just continued doing what they were doing.

See! My sims had a more interesting day than me! Maybe I should just give them a blog...

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Home alone - 15/02

My mom and step-dad are out right now due to this work thing that they have to do, so I have stayed in my house...all alone. Which is fantabulous! I can dance around like an idiot from room to room and eat ALL THE SNACKS in the kitchen and then spend my time in the way that I always spend my time.

Hello Interwebs.

Yes, even though I have the freedom of the WHOLE HOUSE tonight, I have decided to sit in my room in the exact same spot that I do every single day and do internet things. Because hey, who likes change?

Ah well, at least I can say that I've abused the HAVING ALL THE SNACKS rule. I eat like a pig. It's got to stop...but I DON'T WANT IT TO STOP!!!!!!

Ahhhhh, the woes of my life.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.

Valentines - 14/02

Despite the fact that most single people are supposed to be sad today, today has been one of my best days of the year.

It's been one awesome thing after the other, and I have just loved it. One thing that happened today is I received a Valentine from a friend of mine full of phandom pick up lines and it was HILARIOUS! Seriously, I haven't laughed so much in AGES.

Then there's the fact that I am now reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes...or some of them anyway. Saw a great big book in the school library, checked the title, saw Sherlock Holmes written in big plain font and I almost ran to the library desk to take it out. That's going to be a fun read.

So yeah, awesome Valentines Day which had absolutely nothing to do with Valentines Day-like things.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
