The Just Thought I'd Share Thread

I like Labour in principal, but, in practice, I just don't think it works. Look at the Blair generation, it was on the news today that only 40% of Primary schools are at the standard level in reading, writing and maths. Which is quite shocking really.

Although, I look at the work my younger cousins have, and it looks so much easier than the work I had when I was their age. I don't know if that's just because I'm older and it IS easier... or what.

Sorry. I totally went off on one. This is why I don't talk politics, I get really into it and just babble boring crap for ages. Sorry

Back to fun stuff! My brother took great delight in telling me that there's a 100% chance of snow (according to a MET office website) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Yays.

I don't think Politics in general works in practice, to be honest with you. For every action a Government take to ammend a wrong, there is a positive and a negative aspect to the decision. And naturally (Being British and thus cynical I'm sure has alot to do with this lol) we as the public focus on the negative, attacking the Government for it whilst missing the positive completely. Although I suppose that does depend on the magnitude and scale of the positive and negative reactions in balance. Eg. Plus side of recycling = One new box of Kleenex. Negative side of recycling = Some schmo at the factory blowing his nose on every fifth tissue "for a laugh". You're not going to buy a box of Kleenex, are you? Pretty crude example, but the point made sense in my head at least hehe! It's half past 1 in the morning. Go to bed Bee. You're typing backwards (but correcting still).

Don't worry lol! I'm a sucker for tangents. They're so shiny and full of possibilities they can't live up too. Ooo.. just like Campaign Pledges hehe.

My Mum seems to think they've forecast blizzard heavy snow on Christmas Day which should be a lark.

Oho, I see what you did thar! Although, I fully support the students who are pissed with the Lib-Dems. They lied. Simples.

Although, swinging on the centopath and attacking the Royal Family? Not cool.

They should activate the Queen, I reckon she'd be a great absolute monarch.

Then we might get more 999 calls like this -

I support them too. Been to a ton of Protests myself, although as a Pacifist it's always been peaceful with me. Although I'm not a fan of Camilla at all (The greatest compliment ever being Rupert Everett *licks his gorgeous flowery face* using her as the blueprint for Fritton hehe) I didn't agree with it either. There's ways and means of getting your point across, and violence only alienates the people you need to listen.

Activate the Queen? You make her sound like a weapon. Ooo...Is her Pacemaker connected to the shiny red button in the Governmental Office? I may just start referring to her as the Omega 13 from now on lol (Joke only makes sense if you've seen Galaxy Quest hehe)

I heard about that lol! I felt like finding out her number and calling her myself, just so I could call her a Daft B with an Itch before hanging up again lol.

Haha! Got to love Procrastination. I love those days where you walk into your Studio at 9am intent to paint and by 6pm you realise that instead of picking up a paintbrush, you've actually constructed a full body cast from Sellotape. Constructive use of time

I tend to get my assignment up... and then drift towards ebay. I've spent £30 tonight on Christmas presents... for myself. (In my defence, I've already done the rest of my Christmas shopping )

If you wrap them and put them under the Tree for yourself then we are really on the same Page As a treat I wrapped up a Rolling Stones T Shirt and four Stevie albums for me to open gleefully Christmas morn

So glad I'm not the only one who does that.

Although, I don't think I'll wrap them up, I'll just stash them in my room. I totally geeked out and bought an adorable Aerith plushie, and an adorable Cloud plushie. I had a nerd moment of weakness.



Too cute.

Hahaha. I bought myself a peace sign necklace that is totally Nancy Wilson. I also have 3 Stevie albums coming from myself! I don't know if they are going to get here before Christmas, but if they do they might just go under the tree, .
My Mom bought me Heart tickets as part of my Christmas present, and I'm going to print them out soon and wrap them so I can open them on Christmas and be all surprised and happy. Mom thinks I'm nuts, so don't feel bad..

But then it all crashes down on you?
