I'm going into sixth form.

Yes, yes, yes. I am old.
It's scary.
I have responsibility.
I am doing A-Levels.
I don't have to wear school uniform (that's actually a good thing)
But it's like I'm leaving my childhood behind, and I'm not ready!!!!
Anyways, dinner.
Catcha later.

Futility

If I've learnt anything through my sixteen years on this desolate planet, it is that there is no point in loving or hating anything too much. If you love, it disappears. If you hate, it wastes precious time.
We have too short a period here, and there is no time to plan, or dream or while away our time in fanciful flights of the imagination. We must live every minute, risk nothing and gain everything.

Irreligon

Due to my parents' refusal to attend/practice/believe in any particular religion, I have been prevented from attending one third of all the schools in my country.
Now, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. My secular(ish) primary school didn't seriously damage me, and I think that I'm not overly disadvantaged by avoiding being force-fed the scripture of a religion that I may not believe in or that my parents don't believe in. It dodged the mixed messages, and stopped me from turning into a god-loving, prayer-saying robot.
But, surely, it's unfair. The schools with the best SATs scores are unfailingly religious schools. Why should I, a child of agnostic, and all round lovely, kind and intelligent parents, be prevented from attending a school who Ofsted describe as good to outstanding, which I fell into the catchment area for, and instead had to go to a school that scored significantly lower, just because I wasn't Catholic.
If this occurred due to skin colour, or my parents income, there would be an outcry.
Why is division alongside religious lines allowed?

It's been a while...

Yes, yes, it has.
Sorry.
I'm listening to Harry Freaking Potter from AVPS. And it's FREAKING cool.
Yes, sometimes, I just love Harry Potter.
Actually, it's not sometimes. It's all the time.
Me and Harry, we're like THAT.

In other news, I recently purchased B Min/E by All Caps.
BEST LIFE DECISION EVER.
It was amazing, well structured, beautiful, with lyrics that really mean stuff.
GO BUY IT so Kristina and Luke can live together in a little house with a lawn and a picket fence and a few adorable little kids.
