Week four

Mornings,

This week seems to have gone so quickly. I'm sitting here again with another bag of skittles, wondering what the heck do I write about. There isn't too much to update from my last writtings... Oh I've been getting very into sims social on facebook. And I've also learned that facebook doesn't have any quarms about incest; one of my friends who is my sister on facebook, also married me on facebook... and facebook is fine with this?!?!?!?!?

I'm really annoyed because I can't find my chicago DVD and its annoying because I don't remember lending it to anyone so I must be in one of the bookcases... but it isn't.
 
I pretty much summed up my week in comments from a friend. Unless you'd like to know mum got me a load of yellow self sticking notes, which I am in love with and trying to contain the urge to lable everything in my room. Give me til the end of the week.

I'm going to another open day this Thusday, not that exciting and I'm missing three hours of lessons I'll have to catch up, joy. Not that I mind overly, because I do need a backup option... but I just can't be bothered to get up early again, not when I know where I want to go.

Oh, I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, and hopefully will be getting some photos this Wed, so might have a half decent one to post up.

For now,
Ankh.

Comments from a friend

Morning,

A friend, who has been reading my blog, told me today I was being too depressing. So, I've decided no more of that, never on my blog again.

I also had a revelation today. Dear Fool, I believe I won.

In dragon related new, we had a big draw at school, and of course I drew a politics dragon. It's now proudly displayed next to Fred the Stegosaurus and the unnamed Narwhal, at the top of the stairs between the two art room. Makes me smile every time I walk down that corridor. Which is handy because I practically live down that corridor now. It was depressing today, having general studies not down the corridor. Actually had to walk over to the other side of the school.

I've started revising European history, because I'm doing a retake in Jan and realised I'm actually going to have to learn everything again... strange all I can remember is how much I hate them all. The Catholics annoy me, Luther annoys me, Zwingly annoys me, Calvin annoys me, the Jesuits annoy me, Erasmus is alright though because his real name was Gerrit Gerritzoon. And that is epic. Dear Catholic Chruch, why isn't there more dragons?

For now,
Ankh

Of dragons part two

Mornings,

Keeping to my promise of only one totally dragon related topic per month.
Oh, I've just posted up the first chapter of Cyril and Human in case you'd like to read it, its on the link to the left... I think. Don't know left from rig... I mean... I just need to check which side the tool bar is on... ha... ha...

Moving on. Dragons. And I thought this month, I'd talk about the dragon time clock thingy in Wicked. It was above the stage in the production that I when to see and I still don't understand what the heck that thing is. I love the books, and I've read it a couple times, also read Son of a Witch, and I'm waiting for one of my friends, cough, Emily, cough, to get the one about the Lion so I can read that one as well.

I've looked on quite a few online articals to see if anyone really understand what the time dragon is, and there are quite a few theories. One which I quite like is that the time dragon is the one that is telling the story. Got to love a story from a dragon's point of view.

This is going to have to be short and sweet... I seem to have misplaced a DVD... the hunt begins. I'll hopefully finish this... might not... might just write something else. Oh, I'm so mysterious... yep. Alright then.

For now,
Ankh

Week three

Morning,

Had a wisdom tooth finish coming through today, and while I managed to get a bag of skittles out of it, I do also now reek of oil of cloves. Smells kinda like Christmas, but tastes foul.

Talking about Christmas, my sopio cards did come eventually, and myself and a couple friends have our own tournament, losers buy the winner a bag of skittles at Yule. So far, I've won two games, Emily's won four *cough* cheat, and Zoe's still on the roundest of all numbers... 0.

In other news, I drew a politics dragon on the school big draw. Not that exciting, but I have yet to draw a politics dragon in politics this term. Politics is getting a bit more interesting, isms. Yay. Done Ecology, basically go environment, and Liberalism, basically go freedoms.

Got some new lipstick, MUA shade two, I like it.

Yep, I know its like turning onto the news and there is an article about Marvin the trombone playing meerkat... I really don't have anything to report. This week has pretty much been dull.

Well, I did get to play hero, I think... but the story isn't finished yet, and there is nothing more annoying that a cliffhanger. So next week I'll tell all... maybe.

I've downloaded the Still Got Legs album to my mp, along with the Starship soundtrack... so kinda confusing when I get the songs mixed up... but they are both about Aliens.

Dragons!

For now,
Ankh

Oh, I am starting to learn Middle Egyptian, in preparation for university. And therefore the word that has made my laugh the loudest is the symbols for 'donkey' which goes, symbol for a, symbol for phallus, determinative symbol for donkey... why... its a strange language but I actually really like it. It's logical.

Week two

Morning,

Feeling low, yay. Things just don't seem to be going quite right, and little things are irrating me so much. I've broken one of my nails, its actually depressing. I know... sounds so stupid. I have a to do list longer than all the dragons in the world tail to tooth. Dragons should cheer me up. I've got a note on my phone that says;

Strip out everything,
All the lies, more importantly;
The truth.
And throw it all away.
Throw it far away.

Yet the yesteryear forgets,
All the grey beginnings.
And the baptisms in red
And let it fly away.
Let it fly far away.

I don't even remember writing it. I feel an emptiness in my life, something missing, taunting me from the sides lines. Words from whispered conversations keep going over in my head that I daren't write down for fear of making them true.

A tree fell down in the strong winds we've been having this week. There used to be two, standing on each side of the road, one was a crab apple tree and the other looked dead. The second tree never had any leaves, but both of the trees curved so they looked like they were trying to form a gate over the road. The dead tree as I used to call it, suddenly started flowering year before last. Now it has fallen, it didn't have any roots. I feel like the gate is closed, no way back.

Dear Fool, I knew the toll when I crossed the bridge.

Maybe things could have been different, but I never said I was a good person. 

For now,

Week one

Morning,

Well its been a week since I've posted anything... and its been a long week. School has been good to get back to, and I did an RS essay, twice. But still its been good to get back. It's unfortunate to see some people have managed to get back when I was sure their grades wouldn't be high enough, fool.ish people. I don't think I'll mention any names just to keep things ambiguous, because I hardly want to get sued.

In other news, I've started writing a story called Cyril and the Human, which is a rewrite of George and the Dragon but from the dragon's point of view. I'm writing not only because I'm awesome but as the creative writing part of the girl guiding Commonwealth award. Yay. When it's done I think I'll add Cyril to the site for entertainment purposes... hopefully.

Yesterday I went down with Dad to Swansea University, which I think I'm in love with! I was to study Egyptology there, and we went to look around to see if 'I liked the atmosphere' not quite sure what that means but I liked it. I'm actually in love with the Egyptian Museum. Talked to a few people there about the course and its so beautiful, and one of them gave me a reading list... only problem is I can't for the life of me remember her name and I left the reading list on the side next to the game of Senet. Therefore I can't exactly email saying dear really friendly person I talked to yesterday, I was the person in the blue top, and I'm an idiot. I think I've managed to find all the books on amazon, or at least the authors that were suggested so panic is temporarily averted.

I still need to write my personal statement... I'm not too sure how to translate; omgoshimsoexcitingthisisgoingtobesobeautifuliloveegpytomgoshwoop. Into enthusiastic English without ending up on the 'crazy' pile. Oh well, shiz happens.

For now,
Ankh


Sunday 4 September 2011

Oh, woe

Morning,

Tomorrow I go back to school. I'm actually half excited because I want to see my friends again, and being an extrovert and desperate to get back to gossip. But since I haven't done an essay yet that I need for tomorrow... I'm blogging. Yer I know; honestly I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. We go in until break; yay for 6th form. Then we come home again.

I've just got a poster of Daenerys Targaryen that I've been waiting for. I love it, except I would prefer it to have the words 'Fire doesn't kill a dragon' rather than 'I do not have a gentle heart' but it's still awesome.

I had an odd feeling this morning, it doesn't feel like a Sunday. I guess I'm excited about going back; but some of my friends might not be getting back into the next year because they didn't get the grades. I know its selfish but I really want them to stay because it feels likes slowly (and in certain cases spectacularly) I've been losing friends this year... I think I'm down to 1.5 really close friends. Heck I don't know why I'm complaining, I've had less and survived. Shit happens and you throw them back and ask for lemonade... I think I got that saying confused...

I'm really annoyed with Sopio cards. I ordered the first deck and bonus pack at the start of August and I'm still waiting for them to turn up. I know post doesn't come on a Sunday, (thank you Harry Potter 1) but I'm still looking out the window expectantly. Even more annoying, is that next Saturday there is a tournament in Birmingham and I'm going to be in Birmingham but there is no point even looking if I'll be able to get there because the stupid cards haven't turned up. I would have liked to go but instead I'll be looking round the university. Yay, Ancient History!

Just in mention to Harry Potter I just realised there are 7 dragons in it that I can think of... I'll have to dedicate a month!

For now,
Ankh

Thursday 1 September 2011

Pinch, punch, first of the month.

Morning,

So and update on all things dragonishus... okay scrap that line.
Yesterday I when to London and saw Potted Potter. All 7 books in 70 minutes. It was awesome; thank you last minute tickets! £25 for stall tickets. Got to say I loved the firebreathing-really expensive-googlie-eyed dragon from book four! And our side won the quidditch game; go Slytheryin!

I've also decided that as much as I love the prices in Primark... I hate the people that shop there. After attempting to take back a skirt that I realised I'd picked up in the wrong side... I was cut three times in the cue and ended up just buying another skirt without taking the other one back because it's only £7 I've lost and I wanted to actually get home that night. Just wondering, if someone cuts the cue in front of you, does anyone actually tell them to get to the back? I considered it a couple times but did the British thing and tried to ignore it. Sigh.

I brought the Golden Compass, because I hoped that would clarify the plot of Northern Lights... which I really don't understand. I also don't understand what was so hard about the title Northern Lights... but hey. Golden monkey. I think the reason I don't really like it, is because there isn't any dragons. I am joking, I just don't like the whole, 'Lyra is going to do something! And it's going to bad.' The whole way through the book, but no one has actually said what she's going to do. I understand foreshadowing (thanks AVPM) but a bit of a clue would be nice.

For now,
Ankh
