Right, BASICALLY, I was on squarespace and did a few posts, but i found out it was a trial, so i'll shove all the posts i did on here :)

_{Right ok. Blog blog blog blog blog. To be honest I don't even know if I'm actually posting a blog right now, I'm yet to fully work out how the HELL to work out this website. Into final week of school now. EEK. Finally dawened on me yesterday in this pretty naff Record of Achievement assembly we had yesterday. I bawled my eyes out. In fact, i was only one of the few people that did. I expected loads to cry like a baby, but not me! In my mind i'm focussing on the loooooooovely hot (it WILL be) extended Summer holiday we're going to get. If today is anything to go by, it'll be fabby. I just ate my first 'twister' ice lolly of the year and am hoping it'll be hot enough to eat at least a stone in weight of um :). But yeah, set on the summer, not the exams, i have 7 to go, english lit on tuesday. ARGH. In fact, I'm going to go out and bathe in the scorching sun -after i've finished going on a bit- and read my revision notes. It's strange how everyone is making the effort to get to know and get along with other people in this final week, it's nice for the moment, it'll continue for this week and everyone will love everyone else, then in the Summer it'll evapourate with the heat (yes, wishful thinking).}

Ok so the revision didn't last long, undoubtedly must research revision methods.

Considerring just reading out a revision page and recording it on my phone, then just listening to it over and over. Could work? We shall see.

"Sleep-learning (also known as sleep-teaching or hypnopædia) attempts to convey information to a sleeping person, typically by playing a sound recording to them while they sleep."

This could work? Sounds like a real ish thing? :o and i'm sleeping at the same time, WHY HAS NO-ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS?!

.. wait..

"The researchers concluded that learning during sleep was "impractical and probably impossible." They reported that stimulus material presented during sleep was not recalled later when the subject awoke unless alpha activity occurred at the same time the stimulus material was given. Since alpha activity during sleep indicates the subject is about to awake, the researchers felt that any learning occurred in a wake state."

Sod off. Why is life never easy?

A girl in my sisters year has created a false facebook account for "Alex Gaskarth", the guy from youme@six or something, she's then put herself as in a relationship with him. Sounds like a laugh doesn't it. HAHAHAHAHAHA. No.. well, it would be, apart from the little messages they write on "eachothers'" walls? And she's uploaded like a photo album for him? Think this goes a bit beyond in my opinion. But hey, coud still be "a laugh" right? Personally have never seen the attraction of totally stalking a celebrity. How does this make you more attractive anyway? Ruins the practically invisible chance you have. Although saying this, I did find out which primary school Alex Pettyfer went to... Hmm.

I'm feeling the need to post regularly to make sure I actually keep at doing this.

When I trust myself to I'll post less frequently on more interesting subjects :).

Had the plan to sit and revise English Lit all day, to be fair this morning I did sit out in the garden in the beautiful heat and did a fair amount. But then i started to get a little distracted, from about 12 onwards i did nothing revision wise. Met up with Charlie, went to this charity football game... Her good friends good friend killed himself recently after finding out he had cancer. Then shortly after his sister found she had cancer. So friends of his organised a charity football match with tombola etc in aid of cancer research. Which is lovely really :). Then had a dress fitting for prom, forgotton how much i loved my dress, my feet must have swelled in the heat though as they would NOT fit in my prom shoes! Tonight had a BBQ with a few of the friends and reminisced over the past 5 school years. Really hitting home that I'm leaving now, hm.

Right. I'm writing this in response to another blog post I read about social networking sites and the bloggers distaste for them. It REALLY irritated me because this particular blogger does not use a social networking site himself and yet feels it acceptable to slag off and judge the people that use them. This quote got me the most:

"But anyway, as to my opinion, I’ll keep it short and sweet…I personally think that people who are obsessed with these sites have absolutely NO LIFE"

Actually, I quite like facebook and though I agree that it is maniupulative and addictive in the sense that it acts as a total distraction when trying to do something perhaps a little important on the computer. But to say facebook users have NO LIFE?! I'll have you know, although facebook does serve as somewhat distracting, it does NOT effect my social life. In fact, it probably helps it, when it comes to keeping in touch with friends from school, or even better: NOT from my school... I can easily make plans and stay in close contact with them through facebook. Facebook and social networking sites might be dominating society, but so what? I don't neccessarily think this is a bad thing. Educationally, it may serve as a bit of an issue with pointless distractions, i have sometimes just sat and watched facebook do nothing and prying into the lives of people i barely know simply because it's more interesting than whatever work I'm doing.

will finish this when i have time, probably after my pooey exams.

I've finished my pooey exams :) just to catch up before i continue with my rant and rave: I left school a couple weeks ago, all exams over now, getting a little bored- I've started knitting. YES that's right, knitting, my friends came over for "tea and cake" on monday and we sat in the garden (i got my wish, the weather is lush) and i KNITTED. No kidding. I left school 2 weeks ago, not 50 years ago. Enjoying it though, finished knitting a hat for my friend this morning :) I will post a picci later, think I'm gonna knit a series of funky hats- something to do right? Also thought i'd choreograph a couple dances, a couple for th younger kids, doing telephone by lady gaga with some of the younger kids at my dance school, I want to do one to cartoon heroes by aqua, I'll try get vids up when i work this thing out :).

Anyway, on the subby of that facebook half-blog, in my recent english language exam, for th argue, persuade, advise question- I chose the question "write an article to a teenage magazine advising people how to improve their lives", my advice? Delete facebook. I felt like a hypocrite! Tooootally contadictory to what i was sayin before, but as i bullsh*tted on i realised there was some very good points! I do love facebook don't get me wrong, but it can restrict you from experiencing some of the pleasures of lifeee, personally anyway, i'm always updating my status and gettin excited when people like it :| it's pathetic. When I'm bored, I go on facebook, I sometimes wonder if i DIDN'T have facebook, what would i do to make me un-bored? I'd probably go out and do something a bit more practical! Not brave enough to delete facebook yet, but will definately try to start restrictin how long i go on there!
