Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again...

  Watching X-factor with my family is probably the most eventful part of my week. We all take our places in the lounge, preparing for the excitement. Silence lingers for all of five seconds and then the arguments begin. Dad is arguing his point about how the judges could all fit in one car, mum is trying to imitate the accents she hears, and I'm trying to tell them both to shut up so I can actually watch the program we go out of our way for watching.
 I swear I live in a madhouse, where the men in white coats have brought me to. Unfortunately this isn't one of my books, this is reality. If this were my own story then I would be some kick ass ninja style heroin, who gets the really hot guy (at least that bits true :)) I might write a story about my time here one day, jazz it up a bit, make it more eventful, some awesome girl that is just that bit more extraordinary than me.

Moving on to something more interesting: Books
The one I've been reading this week is called 'The Handmaids Tale' my English literature teacher recommended it to me. I'm so glad she did.

Now if you're addicted to Sci-Fi novels then this is right up your street. Set in an alternate time, 'The Handmaids Tale' is the story of a woman who remembers her life before everything was drastically changed, however she is not allowed to deviate from her designated path, if she does then she will be put to death. Being one of the few women left able to have children she is forced to travel from commanders houses to have their children. However she longs for the freedom she knew from the times before and is determined to find a way out of this hell.

I have loved this book so far, it is written beautifully and the characters are portrayed in such a way that it is as though they are standing next to you.  A definite recommendation!

Seriously can not stop listening to this song, I heard it on an advert on Five USA and couldn't get it out of my head. Thought other people should hear it too, its soooooo good, Rokhsan is very talented.

Now its time to watch Vampire Diaries!!! TTFN.

Annoying A.

Angered and Aching. 

  Another cold. I hate being ill, but for some reason illnesses love me. In fact they can't get enough of me. I'm the easy A of the virus world. On top of that, my day hasn't been all fine and dandy either. It was not only cold, but windy, and standing at a makeshift bus stop at half eight in the morning with rain spitting in my face, really didn't set my day up for a good start. Pathetic fallacy much. The bus was late, as usual, it has serious issues with punctuality. When it did arrive it stunk of school kids and sweat, as soon as I pass my driving test I will swear an oath to never set foot on that bus again. Until that day, however, I will have to grit my teeth and deal with the many feet and gangly legs that clutter the aisle as I walk to the back seat.

  I hope it's not just me who converts to a moody cow when they're ill. I like to think I'm not the only one anyway, makes me feel less guilty if/when I snap at someone for doing the smallest of things.

  I started to feel better by lunch time. Food is the cure to any illness!! Unfortunately mine was bland, my mum said it was so it didn't upset my stomach. The blandness of the food upset me. So when I got home I made myself an extravagant snack and snuggled up to watch '16 and Pregnant'. Ahhhh perfect.

As we are on the theme of A, here is a list of my favorite things beginning with A: 

Astro-Duck!

- Aloe Vera (Not the actual stuff, but the word, mainly because every time my mum says it she impersonates a parrot that's trying to say "Hello Vera". Utter madness.)
- Appetizers (They're not quite the main meal, but you're always happy when they arrive)
- Astronaut Duck... (Yes my friend, I hear your amazement and it is true, I do own a rubber duck that is an Astronaut.)
- Animal Biscuits (Whoever came up with those is pure genius)
- Aesop's Fables (Because they put a smile on my face)
- ♫ Again by NeedtoBreathe ♫
- Angels (Because in my books the boys are FIT!!)

Let's hope for the best that I will be happy and healthy tomorrow, opposed to angered and aching.
