Hungry
As the title of this entry states, I am hungry. Today I have eaten the following: an apple (the size of which would have insulted a mouse if you had given it to him for a snack) and half a packet of crisps. I am, therefore, starving (metaphorically, of course). Does 'my brain is too food deprived to fuction' count as an excuse not to revise? I ( Read more... ) -
*Weeps*
Just read an article about Rivers (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pagerender.fcgi?artid=1296434&pageindex=2#page) which concludes thusly:
'I am left wondering what Rivers would have thought of Chronic fatigue syndrome? Or Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, having treated patients at Criaglockhart Military Hospital which was 'a museum of twitches ( Read more... ) -
Revision technique
I may just have to steal potatofiend's amazing Victorian revision skills. Here's my revised version:
1. RELIGION
- Fallen women are bad, BAD I tell ye
- God makes Hardy depressed

2. HOMOSEXUALITY ( ( Read more... ) -

School was pretty okay this week; did some lessons, exposed my luminous off-blue skin to the sun, had some random attacks of hayfever, moaned about the head- all good.

Catharsis
You look at me expectantly,
I speak words, you hang off them,
Expecting something I cannot give.
I know what it is you want;

Hanging just overhead…
But I can never reach it.
You want her star to shine;
“You’re so much like your mother,”
As you look at me, your gaze is far away,
I see the memories, they are not my own.

It's my life... (perhaps)
Once upon a time there was a girl named Kayleigh. She was born, despite her own best efforts, on the 12th of January 1989. She was blue purple and yellow and it was all down hill in the looks department from then on ( Read more... ) -
The Personal Statement I SHOULD have sent...
According to the Buddhist principal of Anatta, there is a distinct lack of ‘self’ existent in beings- therefore, if we are to be truly multi-cultural and bear the opinions of all cultures in mind, this personal statement is, in fact, superfluous and a waste of valuable meditation time. Still, the drudgery of Samsara continues and I am driven by the ( Read more... ) -

Good Lord my essay is dull! "Compare how these George Orwell and Margaret Atwood explore the importance of language in their novels, ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’" who cares- I mean, honestly, what IS the point? Would it REALLY make any would it really make any difference to the make-up of the world if I were not to inflict this ( Read more... )
