For one reason or another, it has felt more like Easter this year than it ever has before. It seemed to be as though, everywhere you looked there were either over-priced Easter egg's made from the finest organic 70% cocoa chocolate or the telly was moaning about the awful weather we were to have. Perhaps Easter was exacerbated by the fact that we got 2 extra days relief from TSH and i also received paid leave from work. Triumph!
I've recently been moaning about how poor i am, as, for the first time ever in my life, i went into overdraft. Only by £1.29, but still. I felt the pinch! Now that i've been paid however, with 5 weeks wages (to compensate the week holiday they fucked up and didn't pay me) plus the very generous 20% JLP bonus, i am RICH! Ok, maybe not rich, but richer than i've ever been in my life. And i earnt it all. Every penny. So i fucking deserve it.
I'm not being stupid and blowing it all in one go, i'm saving for the summer. The GF and i are planning on going inter-railing around eastern Europe. But the silly fish still hasn't researched where exactly she wants to go. So we haven't booked the tickets yet. We still have time, but not that long. I will soon start nagging.
Trust the Catholic Church, scaremoungerers that they are, to go and induce something like this. Fucking ignorant idiots. Too stupid to even question what the actual science behind the intentions of the scientists is. Injecting the nuclei of a human cell into an empty shell of an animal cell will not create "monsters" as there is nothing left of the animal remaining in the cell. That's the whole point of removing the bloody nuclei, where all DNA is stored in eukaryotic cells. But then, when Their doctrine is based on the science propsed by Aquinas in the 12th century, i wouldn't really expect anything more. What's more terrifying, and what the article highlights brilliantly, is the implications of their scaremongering. The PM is answerable to no-one. Especially not the Fucking Church. Religion has no say in politics, and it should be kept that way. Brown should never have bowed to those idiots.

Pissed
Nat, a very good friend of mine, had her final drama performace exam last night and to celebrate the entire drama class went out galavanting. I tagged along as i didn't have anything much else to be doing and i know a few of the people anyway. Gosh. Everyone was rather pissed by the end of it.
I went to meet them at around 10-ish thinking they would all be sat in a pub talking and chatting etc. but they were in a trendy bar type place with booming drum and bass music. Drunken people look like monkies whilst dancing to drum and bass. But then drum and bass is easily to dance to, because all you do is bob up and down like you're on a pogo stick and flap you're arms as if making invisible rolls of fat on your arms wobble.
I seem to be having this party next saturday (although it feels as though someone else is having the party and i'm just attending) and Nat kindly invited her entire drama group. On top of all who i know that are coming. At the last party i had there were 10 people in my kitchen alone. And my kitchen is not very large. I have a dredful feeling that the police will be called, and i really do not want that to happen. Living in a cul-de-sac means you have to be nice to the neighbours.
Apart from being incredibly pissed last night, or rather, because i was incredibly pissed last night, i was able to speak to KK, a girl who i've liked for over a year. I think we have a "connection" and i persue every ounce of evidence which will support my theory. The GF, very kindly, listens to my rubbish and nods at the appropriate points. Even she admits there is a slight glimmer of truth in my thinking.
There has only been one other time when i've spoken to KK one on one and to do that took litres of beer and much courage. This time it wasn't so hard, but i discovered that she had my mobile phone number. More proof that there is a "connection" between us as;
1) I'd not given her my number
2) On the record i've spoken to her twice before

"You Look Better In Your Myspace Pictures"
The title say's it all really.
Some people, unfortuanetely do look better in their myspace pictues. Not due to shere chance. Oh no. But to the countless hours spend posing on Myspace, ensuring only the perfect images were captured.
I am having a "Pimp's & Hoe's party." Lord knows why i chose that name; i hate the word hoe, ti is so incredibly demeaning to women. I hate it. It just perpetuates the maddness. But the worst thing about this party business is that i've given upthe will to care how it turns out. 2 people or 200 people could turn up and i would remain indifferent as all that is essential is the GF''s presence; if she is there the night will be amazing, not matter how many attend.
It is quite insane. I admit this redily. It can flop lika a bitch; as long as The GF is there i don't mid.

Disaster for TSH
Sr Headmistress is leaving at the end of this academic year and her replacement has been found. Her replacement comes from within the school, an internal replacement, and is just about the worst person ever. It is the homophobic head of sixth who tried to tell Mother Dearest about her big fat lesbo of a daughter. The one who tried, against the advice of the current head of year, to inform my Mother that her daughter was a lesbian (to put it more formally) explicitely against my will.
Say i'm holding a grudge; i'll agree. But her behaviour i will never forget. Ever.
It is this woman, whose "moral convictions" drove her to want to -effectively- destroy the life of a young person who was in her duty of care. "Moral convictions" are utter bollocks. How she acted was due to bare faced, unadulterated homophobia fuelled by religious fundamentalism. And TSH will no doubt worsen in its hardline approach to individuality now she has been appointed head.
It is pricesly the attitude taken by Her, the embodyment of that attitude by the Schools Governers that filters down to grass roots level, which caused me to have such an awful time throughout my secondary education. It's that attitude which results in so many LGBT teens killing themselves. Because they just can not take it anymore. And that attitude will intensify within TSH now that she has been appointed head.
Sr Headmistress was scary and strict, but i truely believe that in her heart, she cared about the girls. She, honestly, has an agenda of her own. What is best for the individual does not come into play in her mind, only Church Propa-fucking-ganda. Jesus would cry if he saw her. But that's what you get if you're Catholic. That's what the Church represents. And that is why reconsiling one's faith with one's sexuality is an incredibly hard feat.
I do loathe Her. I really do. And i shall complain to a trusted teacher about her treatment and attitude towards LGB people, anonymously, before i leave. I may even contact the LEA. Because, my god, if another girl has to go through what i did because of her i will scream.

eBay
I am no longer an eBay virgin. I bought my first item, a cheap mobile phone to replace the one i lost, whilst my phone is being repaired (for the 2nd time) by tmobile.
I'm getting rather addicted, some of the bargins you can get there are quite amazing. I'm in dire need of an external hard drive to enable me to easily transport all the files from the PC to the lap-top and for me to start saving my media into, but the start price, even on amazon is £60. Which is rather a lot for a glorified memory stick. On eBay, a second hand 500GB went for £25 including postage and packaging. OK, it was a vile blue colour and looked quite chunky but a hard drive is a hard drive and i'm not particularly picky when its sold for half the retail value.
In other news, one of my fellow bretherin (the check-out girls) got sacked for nicking from the tills. Shock. Horror. Although the source of this information is highly unreliable something tells me there is an element of truth in it. And whilst we were cashing up on Thursday night one of the girls was taken aside and dissapeared into a side room, aparently never to be seen again. Oh, the halarity.
Stupid person. If you're going to nick something, at least do it properly. Nick a whole days takings by breaking in at night and stealing it the proper way, don't just nick a few hundred. Duh.
But then people are short sighted. And it serves her right getting caught. Only stupid people get caught because stupid people can't cover their tracks properly. Over the past 2 weeks they've introduced several measures to insure people don't nick from tills; plastic bags you have to seal and sign, supervision whilst handling cash, supervision so you're not alone with large amounts of money etc. and still the silly girl pushed her luck one step too far. She deserves everything she gets.
I've also discovered the joy of torrents. Don't ask me what they are, because i don't fully understand the oncept yet myself, but they allow you to download movies in a matter of hours. Brilliant, really. And as the connection i have is uber-fast i can download a movie in an hour and a half. Extreme piracy! Yey!
Serves Vue cinema's bloody well right for charging £5.65 a ticket. And that's with a student discount! Without it you're facing loosing the best part of £10 for one person to see a movie. Fucking ridiculous.

Friends
As i've grown more independant, the issue of having "friends" has become less and less important to me. But, by friend, i don't mean those who you truly care about and would go far out of your way to help, i mean..the plastic kind. Those who, somehow, seem to be part of your social group but who you don't particularly like or wish to speak to. But who you save face by talking to when you're alone so you don't feel like a loser.
The number of those people has drastically decreased. Infact, they are non-existant. And almost as a by-product, i don't really talk to that many people during my lessons. I feel it most in Chemistry, where i sit at the back a space apart from a dopy girl who is, unfortunately, set to get an E. I don't mind, infact, its quite liberating. It's just strange how unaffected i've become by the lack of someone to cling on to. Biology it is less so as there is always a conversation to join, but i have absolutely nothing in common with the people in Chem.
I guess this is a positive thing. It's the same at waitrose, although to a lesser extent. I do try and make conversation with people sometimes, if possible. Eugh. Waitrose. I have to work again tommorow. And i really don't want to. It's driving me fucking mad. But the money is good, and by the time summer comes running around, i should have at least a grand saved for fun and debauchery.

Hmph
Before work this evening i was feeling exeedingly pissed off. I don't know what it was, probably just the pressure getting to me, but i just wanted to shout really, really loud, like amazonian way cry loud, until all the air within my lungs had been exhauseted and i collapsed, breathless. Of course i restrained myself. But it would have been good to just let rip, wolf style.
Whilst standing at my till an idea came to me; i can cheer myself up with retail therapy! I have (literally) been wearing the same clothes for the past 3 months. This is not because i have few clothes; i have many, but i think it is because i have other, more pressing, issues to consider other than the state of my apperance. But this weekend i'm going shopping and dragging the GF with me. Retail therapy is what will cure this frustration!
In other news, the lesbo massive will soon be able to have children together, without the aid of the sperm bank! They just need to get rid of the ban and it a dozen or so years it'll be rolled out and tested on humans. Just in time for me. I always knew it would happen and i have complete faith in the ability of the scientists working on the project. They'll have money thrown at them to enable the conversion of stem cells to sperm cells after the ban has been lifted and they wll find a way.
Admittedly, it is selfish to want your own biological children when there are so many orphans in the world, desperate for a home and parents to love them but..its human instinct to want your own children..to further your family tree, to pass on your genes and your adaptations. To want mini-you's walking around the place.
