Yep, I'm a linguistic genius today.
Apols for lack of accents, I'm lazy, but anyway I hope you all had a great day.

(Let's face it, am I ever gonna update this blog again? Rarely. Ah, well. Enjoy the archives babes x)

A Quote for Today.

Obviously this isn't my quote, because I'm not that inventive. But it's pretty brilliant, even if I did jack it from Glamour magazine.


"Lust tastes like tequila and love tastes like whiskey. Love burns for longer and warms you up on the inside and sometimes it makes you do stupid things. Tequila just makes you wasted" - Jackson Rathbone

(Why is everything orange? I didn't do this.)

Old Buggers

Let me start off by saying that I have the utmost of respect for those who fought in WWII. Seriously, I'm eternally grateful to those who gave their lives, suffered great hardships etc; I appreciate that without them I'd be speaking German right now. And I wouldn't be writing a blog (no freedom of speech) or...actually, I wouldn't be born. Part-Jewish, you see.

So now that that's out of the way, I'm going to rant about an article I read in the Daily Mail today. In essence, it was war veterans who had answered a question along the lines of: was it worth it? Is Britain as a country worse than it used to be? The answer, in short, was no. But there was no focus on things that might actually be an issue, oh no. The focus was vastly on immigration. Example: "I don't like all these people in Muslim and Sikh costumes on the streets," "they come over here laughing at us and taking our welfare whilst we scrimp and save on our pensions," "was it worth it? no."

Paraphrased, but you get my point. And if there's one thing that really, SERIOUSLY makes my blood boil, its racism like this - mindless, pointless, generalisations that victimise one sector of society. When you have a heart attack, old man, and there's a muslim doctor and a sikh nurse, I hope you refuse treatment and die. Or are you willing to take advantage of it? I think you are.
And when you fought in the war, was it to secure Britain as a country, make Britain great above all others. Was this your ultimate aim: a British utopia, when every other country was post-armageddon, a radioactive wasteland? No, you were fighting for the greater good and for peace throughout Europe. Why should you guard our priveleges so closely, deny them to others who, let's face it, want to get ahead in life? It's a natural human instinct.
And I bet you never buy *anything* made abroad, either. You don't support human sweatshops, where 11 year old kids are forced to work 14 hours a day to recieve what your pension gives you in a week every year. If one of them needed life saving treatment on the NHS, I bet you wouldn't begrudge them it.
The point is, you can't pick and choose who you give benefits to. It's not right, it's not something you have the power to make decisions on - if you're religious, it's God. For me, it's nobody. I wouldn't deny anyone the right to healthcare, the right to want what's best in life. Is that a mentality so very different from yours?
I know, I understand I do that it's hard to accept the nature of immigration. It's hard to understand how it can be fair to share the country you fought for with those who didn't.
I didn't fight for the right to live in this country.

I think I blame the Daily Mail itself, mostly. The audacity they have to spin ONE QUESTION at the end of ONE QUESTIONNAIRE into a double page, 'the atrocity of britain today' is dreadful. And blatantly, disgustingly racist.
I don't know why I'm surprised, given it's reputation.

So I don't know. Maybe I come across a little harsh, maybe I don't make much sense, but you get my point. Britain. Is. Fine.

End of.

Oblobadobblobadobblobadob,

I genuinely have nothing to say, but I realised I haven't done anything resembling a blog in a while. I'm watching Spooks on replay at the moment, it's not the same since Adam and Zaf went.
Spooks aficionados: I appreciate this was a long time ago. I watch things out of order.
On another note: GUY OF GISBURNE :O:O what's he doing in Spooks?!?
Mm, hott.


This wasn't supposed to be a drool post, let me tell you something else interesting. Buttercream makes my teeth ache.

Here we go: facebook applications. I set up a fishtank on my Happy Aquarium and NOW I feel bad for letting my fish die because they have cool names: Sonic, Otto, Tetra, DaVinci, Eureka, Boomer, Chip, and Radatad.
You want my fish.

Urgh, whatever.

Technology :(

I amuse myself.

I really, really would like to put something in my story right now. I wrote it yesterday some time, and realised on the toilet just what I'd done.

(Aside: I realise alot of things in the toilet. Don't ask we why. Clearly the Force is strong in there.)


""Thanks a bunch," I said, taking a deep breath in as the group advanced forwards into the mouth of the tunnel, "I feel so much better now."
"Pleasure," said the boy distractedly, taking in the way ahead, "big, aint it?" "

The quick-minded amongst you will already have guessed the punchline, but anyway.

That's what she said.

X Factorrrr :)

What, you didn't see an X Factor post coming sooner or later?
Anyway, the final 12 acts are announced and through, and for me...some of the decisions were good, some bad. More below.



Simon Cowell - Over-25s

Simon had easily the most talented category this year. Some really good acts had to get sent home, but I think he made the right decision. Although I liked TreyC Cohen, because she was from Brumtown like me :)

Danyl Johnson

Just amazing, deserves every chance he gets. Simon was right when he said his was the best first audition ever.

Jamie Afro

A legend in name and in hair. Quite similar to Danyl imo, I think Ethan should have gone through instead. But still a talent.

Olly Murs

My personal favourite. I love his moooves and his soul voice and just generally, I think he's awesome. I think he'll come 2nd.


Groups this year... weren't great. But really, they never are, are they? But my first and most HATEFUL point here.

John + Edward Grimes

UGH HATE HATE HATE! Talentless, arrogant idiots without the brains to fill a teacup between them. If they get any further than the first week I'll cry. Hate hate hate.

Miss Frank

On the other hand, I think Miss Frank are ah-mazing! I love how they're all amazing singers in their own right, they have such a great thing and when Graziella does her little Spanish rap...WOW. I genuinely think they should win, they're my favourite and they're amazing.

Kandy Rain

Generic and won't get far. Yes, they're pretty, but limited talent. Out in the first or third week with any luck.
Firstly, I've totally warmed to Danni this series. She's so nice :)

Her girls are pretty good too. I'm sad Despina didn't get through, but the rest I think were the right decision.

Rachel Adeji

I don't like her hair, but that's a bit rude of me. Great voice, great personality.

Lucie Jones

Oh my gosh so pretty! I'm utterly jealous. Also has an amazing voice, she's not exactly different though is she? I'll be interested to see how she does with uptempo songs and dancing and things. Hopefully she'll pull it off.

Stacey Solomon

I'm withholding judgement until I see more of her. Sweet though.

Cheryl, in my humble opinion, made many BAD decisions. SEXY ETHAN?! What happened to him!? I loved him!

Daniel McElderry

Great voice, something of a personality. Might do well, but I'm not a massive fan.

Lloyd Daniels

Fit as, and only 16 which is shocking. Not as fit as Ethan, and his voice isn't very strong. Also, wearing his hat backwards?!



Anyway, I'm excited for the live series :):):)

Predictions:

First out: Kandy Rain
Winners: Miss Frank.
