The price of cheese and other such rubbish.

I say rubbish, I'm sure to some people the price of cheese is an interesting topic of conversation - if you are that person, I apologise for using your epically awesome topic subject interest thing as my example of supposed rubbish but it's nearly midnight and I am, quite frankly, a little tired.

This blog is going to be a little bit of everything. And by that I mean a bit of me complaining about my inability to revise, my love for procrastination (which seems to increase a tenfold around exam time), Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. They should technically be in italics but I cannot. be. bothered. Oh and I might talk about the Saturday which happens to be approaching very, very quickly! But I may fall asleep before then to grow too tired or catch typhus... or something.

I make timetables, I plan, I have everything sorted, I feel productive and then, and then, aaaaand then: I do nothing. Well, that's a little bit of a lie - because I have done something today, I've done half of my essay and some of my philosophy questions. I kind of procrastinated a lot of the day by re-doing my revision timetable and sorting out the stuff school sent us, rather than focusing on my actual notes... DOH. Tomorrow I'm set to do Biology, Philosophy unit 1 and German oral prep; this is stuff I can actually do... so I will do it. Yes. I will -- on top of that I have more of a time frame and stuff because I've got physio at 3pm so I will push myself more.
I hope.

One of my favourite way of procrastinating right now is to start new books - I've just began reading the Harry Potter series again. Probably not a good idea because I want to re-read Jane Eyre this week. Once again, DOH. Though - it's kind of my fault this time... as it was last time. DOUBLE DOH. I'm actually enjoying the series and I've talked about it a bit on the collab blog I'm part of here.

Finally, well probably more likely penultimately, I have just been to see The Hunger Games at the cinema - it was surprisingly good, but I will talk about that more in a video. :-) watch this... or that (meaning the Youtubes) space!

Actually finally - I'm going to a Youtube Gathering on Saturday 14 April and I'm very excited. :-) It's in LONDON. A place I have only been to twice in my whole entire life. I shall be vlogging lots and I will write a blog post too, I should think.

Anyway... this blog is getting a little nonsensical.

Also... I may have met Alex Day. Teehee
Keep smiling and DFTBA <3

"Teens don't read"

Earlier today Maureen Johnson pointed out that the view of "teens don't read" in the UK is deeply entrenched (which is a word that I now love  and had never heard before). As a teenager in the UK, the stigma around reading seems to be - to me - it's "uncool", it's "geeky", there "aren't any good books out there". I think the fact that a lot of teenagers in British schools are exposed to older literature or, perhaps, not that popular literature in lessons and forced into over-analysing and spending countless hours on 'what the author meant'. A point that was raised in this twitter discussion was that people didn't want to be seen reading, or didn't want to be seen reading certain books. It's made me realise that I never   ever ever  see people reading in the older years in my school ( ever ). Perhaps the odd year 7 (12 year old) or year 8 (13 year old) will read, but - from experience - they will probably be ...

The concept of 'okayness'

Something I've noticed through both personal experience and observing other individuals is how human beings deal with the concept of being 'okay'. Generally we all have good things and bad things going on in their lives, take me for example: bad - back pain, medicine; good - family, friends, home, life, food, money... good stuff happening and change (change is an 'okay' right now rather than a 'not okay'). I happen to think that my life is  okay at the moment because, for me, the good stuff out ways the bad stuff by a milestone. Throughout a day I may become not okay but on the whole I am - on the whole I'm happy. I have noticed though, through reflection and looking at others, that we almost have this desire... this tendency to want to point at the 'not okay' bits of out lives and make them of a higher importance than our 'okay' bits. If I'm having an average day it can much more easily become a bad day than a good because I reme...

Girls on YouTube

You know something that is really  annoying me lately: slimey YouTube comments. I posted a video, admittedly yes because I knew it would get attention because I'm a girl talking about Skyrim, wearing a vest top because that happened to be what I was wearing at the time and I've had really... objectifying comments. It's not even as if some of these comments are commenting on my looks, they're commenting on my body. I don't even care if guys think when they see a girl in a low-cut top "ooh, boobs!" but they don't (usually) voice this in person, so why should they be allowed to do it on the internet? It annoys me greatly; imagine if I was two years younger and had done the same thing? It would put me in a very vulnerable situation, and it still does in a way. I want people to view my content because they like what comes out of my mouth, not because I'm female and film in casual clothing. I've even had someone accuse me of angling my camera so ...
