The Big List Of Pet Hates

Feeling incredibly pissed off at the moment. So, in the spirit of feeling pissed off, I've come up with my list of pet hates. Enjoy and think "what a miserable twat."

1. People disappearing off MSN without saying goodbye - Yes, I understand that sometimes people's computers crash or their internet cuts, it happens to me sometimes, but jeez, it's just rude.
2. People Who Write Like This, With A Capital Letter At The Beginning Of Every Word - Usually done by girls who I don't like, and who don't like me back. For God's sake, learn some punctuation please.
3. Small Talk on MSN - "Hey." "Hi." "How you doing?" "I'm good you?" "I'm good" "Good." Ugh, it's so annoying. Especially when you don't really want to talk to that person.
4. Antibiotics - Had to take a lot of these lately and they piss me off so much. They fuck up one of the tablets I take which is annoying, they usually make me feel sick and half the time I'm always given the wrong ones.
5. Various people in my year and the year below - I won't give specific reasons why, but I will say this: grow up for God's sake!
6. The "fair enough" response - What does that even mean? Are you pissed off? Are you glad? WHAT???
7. Channel 4 putting adverts into a show 5 minutes before it ends - You get my hopes up that Desperate Housewives will be on after the adverts, then you go back to Grand Designs or some shit like that.
8. People immediately deciding they don't like me just because I swear - My mum was seeing a guy who dumped her because he didn't like me swearing. Wanker needs to understand that teenagers swear.
9. Cramped cinemas - Not a problem at the good cinemas like The Odeon, but my nearest cinema is awful for this. 2 screens and you practically have to fight for a seat if it's packed. And it's confusing which screen you're in. When I went to see New Moon, I left during the trailers to get popcorn and wandered back into 2012 by mistake.
10. Kids who think they're hard - Kids at my school are awful for this. We have girls with orange faces and Jane Norman bags and large hoop earrings, and boys swearing their heads off and beating the shit out of each other in the corridoors. And they're just the year 7s. About 20% of the kids in my school aren't like this.

There are more, obviously, but I won't go on seeing as I can't remember many more and I'm also getting quite tired.

Half Term Acomplishments

Where the frick has this week gone? It's Thursday and yet I feel like I still need a week off. So, here's what I had planned to do this holiday:

1. Wider Reading - We're doing exam prep in English Lit now and should be doing wider reading. A lot of it.
2. Essay Trimming - My coursework essay for Lit has a 3000 word limit. My actual coursework is over 3,600 words.
3. Psychology Essay - Seeing as essays are the basis of my psychology exam, we do them for homework all the time. I have a rather large one to be doing on schizophrenia.
4. Revision Cards - My psychology teacher likes us to get our revision in early. So she advises us to make revision cards and we really should be doing them after each lesson to keep up to date. Well, that's the theory.
5. Re-Teaching - Last year in psychology we learned research methods and because it was so brief, our teacher made us do our notes straight onto revision cards. After the exam, I thought we wouldn't be touching it again, so I threw them out, therefore having no notes. Last week she tells us it's part of the A2 course too and there's more - but she's not reteaching last year's stuff because there's no time. So I need new notes and also to re-teach myself the whole topic.
6. Cooking - My food coursework invovles development which I'm behind in so I needed to cook at home. Eugh.

And here is what I have done...

1. Open Day - Attended an open day at University of Northampton. Was awesome :)
2. Dual Carridgeway - Did the stupid stupid act of slowing down on a dual carridgeway before overtaking. Don't ask why, I just did it because I'm a terrible driver. When I pass my test, don't get into a car with me. Ever!
3. Movies - Seem to have watched quite a lot of movies this half term. The Proposal, You've Got Mail, Revolutionary Road, The Last Kiss
4. Tantrums - There's been a few.
5. Pub Quiz - Friends and I went to a pub quiz as we do most weeks and the theme was Luxury Items or something - and we failed miserably!
6. Essay Trimming - Attempted to trim my Lit essay. Lost about 200 words. Need some help from my teacher.

So, this holiday has been a success I think...

Retainers and Valentines

As I'm sat here I'm watching That Mitchell and Webb Look - I bought the Series 2 DVD on Tuesday when I went to Bath. In other news I went to the ortho as said, and lucky me, I got my brace taken off. It was so weird looking in the mirror and seeing myself with straight teeth. Picked up my retainer today and it hurts like hell. Meh. Only 3 months to go...

Anyway, saw on the news today that there's a school in Weston Super-Mare has banned Valentine's cards because they fear it will cause 'emotional distress' to children who are rejected. Do they not realise that these are children of a reasonably young age, and at that age, you don't exactly fall in love do you? So you're not exactly going to be upset if you get rejected. I see loads of parents think its ridiculous too - I don't blame them. In the words of Russell Howard, at that age, "you're into custard and jumping!" It's true though, kids of a primary school age don't care about being in love! Apparently they've banned it because children aren't emotionally mature enough to understand the comittment about having a boyfriend or girlfriend - well no they're not, but the thing is, when you're that age, having a boyfriend or girlfriend isn't exactly serious is it? It's just a friend - who is either a girl or a boy. So they give Valentine's cards to one another? It doesn't mean that in a few months time they're going to be engaged!! In short, it doesn't really mean anything to children of that age, to them it's a bit of fun.

I forgot, I still have my fudge. Hmm.

Second One.

Thought come my second blog, I'd have a few more things to write about. I clearly don't, as I can't even think up a clever/sarcastic title for this one. So news...news...
Dreading Tuesday. The plan is I go to the orthodontist and my brace gets taken off after 18 gruelling months of not being able to eat apples like a normal person. What will happen is I will go to the orthodontist and will be told I can't have my brace taken off because my overbite hasn't been fixed yet, due to my impatience for wearing those frigging elastic bands. Not sure I want it off anyway, anything to avoid the dreaded retainer.

Watched The Time Traveler's Wife this weekend and absolutely loved it. It's one of the most confusing films I've seen for quite some time, but after I watched it I thought it through a bit more and it began to make sense. I read the book when the film first came out and I surprisingly loved that too, and I hate books usually. But yeah, its a goregous film with some really nice romantic moments and it also made me cry a bit at the end too. Its different from the book, in one way I'm glad about (in the book Henry usually throws up before he time travels, but he doesn't in the film). I wouldn't say its better than the book, I'd just say it's as good as the book. But if you get confused easily, then I wouldn't reccomend it without reading the book first. If I hadn't done that I wouldn't have a clue what I was watching.

Wow, my life is boring.

First One.

First blogs are always awkward and likely to be crap. Let me first just start by explaining what the title of this is all about.

"A crossword spreaded with jam" comes from an episode of That Mitchell and Webb Look, which I have recently gotten into. It was from a sketch about the "Ultimate Sunday Chillout DVD" which generally cracked me up, especially the line about a crossword spreaded with jam. Don't know why, it just did. Don't know why I chose it for my blog title, but I did anyway. Fun times.

So yeah, I have a Twitter. Feel free to follow me at www.twitter.com/Amy_May_J although I must warn you, I tend to Tweet about everything, usually its moaning about things and I can occasionally get depressing. But if you want to stalk me then hey, go ahead.

Well I'm going to leave it there until next time. By the way, I use sarcasm a lot. Ciao.
