Dear Andrew:

I know you're reading this, because you're that bored. I am very sorry I didn't play checkers with you. I'm sure I will soon. On the plus side- Keira Knightley!! WAHEY!

luv Colleen

I needed to get that out of the way because he's not on the internet *gasp* but left a slightly pissy comment last night. Don't ask about the Keira Knightley thing, it's born out of Bloom-jealousy and sheer immaturity on both sides.

I was an Intellectual and an Early Riser today. This is very true in one sense, and a complete lie in the other. I actually woke up at 11.00, and got out of bed which is something of an achievement. I have to be up at 9.30 tomorrow for my interview. Yuck. But 11.00 is a good two hours earlier than the time I normally surface, so I feel proud.

Intellectual? Well, not by even my during-term standards, but I haven't lifted a finger, schoolworky wise, since June 17th. Fanfiction has kept my English brain alive and kicking, so the English homework was easy. But history...

I trailed down to the library, sat down, got a book which looked promising: "An Encyclopedia Of British History." Aha! I thought. That should easily yield the results for six facts about Henry VII and the names of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs!

In the books favour, it was very in depth on the subject of Henry VIII, and I already knew the Tudors- I spent a year on them in Primary school and it's stuck since then. However, the Stuarts are a new thing for me... I'm not sure how, but I managed to skip them and the Civil War in every school I've been too. And the book I was using just ASSUMED that I knew things, and so the Stuarts became a bit of a mystery.

So, eventually, I found four names (in thier English forms) which were- James I, Charles I, Charles II and James II. Where there any more Stuart kings, or did it go onto the Oranges, which was what I basically gathered? Help!

Media Studies tomorrow, and Politics after that. I have this sorted. I just need to bully my brain into working again...

You can tell September is a bad month. After a good run of calender pages (Gimli! Legolas! Eowyn!) it's now Wormtongue month. Oh, yay.

Something occured to me, about half an hour ago. And only now am I sort of thinking about putting it down in word, because it's a very scary notion.

I'm not doing a dance A-Level. This means...

I have no reason to continue dancing.

None. At all. Why should I put myself through the sheer hell that is advanced level, why should I struggle as The Crap One At The Back Of The Class, why should I be with people who, well, I don't dislike but I'm not uber-keen on, why should I be paranoid about my weight because of leotards, why should I give up my Saturdays?

Then of course, there are a few reasons why I should... I'm mates with Laura, I've been dancing for ten years, I need the exercise, it's a release, it looks good on my CV...

But do they outweigh the reasons why I shouldn't?

This is a choice I really don't want to make. But I think it's getting to the point where I'll have to. I'll go and see what dance is like on Saturday (Saturday? Surely it can't be that soon). And then I might actually have to make a decision.

Wibble, people.

What's Your Movie Dream Car?

by Auto Glass America

That's... nice.

I have job interview tomorrow. To be a cashier. At Homebase. Isn't that nice? I am going to have to put on a pair of heels, my old school pants (New Look, people. I grew out of M&S a while ago) and a blouse. And god knows what I'll have to do with my earrings if I actually get the job. Basically, it's going to be a scary Back To Work Experience type of thing. And I hated work experience. At least at Homebase there will be no envelopes. This is a good thing...

In other news, I just spent my night typing out my Mum's college work. Surely she's uspposed to do that? Oh, wait, she can't turn on a computer. Sigh. It's when you start mentally fringedwelling it that you have the problems. "For security, staff are encouraged to carry sawn-off shotguns mobile phones... the centre has recently undergone a refurbishment, but I feel this is only cosmetic, and the real problem is that the Feng Shui is all wrong the underlying structure..."

Yeah, I'm REALLY bored.
