tralalalala lalalala

Today is my day off. My one day off. I've worked seven days in a row, and I've got two more waiting for me. Then I'll probably put my name down for even more days, because I haven't quite worked out what I think my limit is. On one hand I should be getting loads of money, on the other I might fall flat on the floor and never get up again.. haha.

Anyway my only intention for today is to pick up the book that I've been ignoring for so long. Determined to finish that thing. My attempt to get good at reading boring books is not going well.

I've a feeling that I'm going to need more drastic measures to get me to read to the end.



Okay, I'm ready.

Craaazy, but it feels alright.

Hitting the train tracks tomorrow, off to visit the sister.

I have so far packed some pyjamas and some socks, and I have got Little Dorrit at the ready (I'm now on page 247 of 826 - not bad!)

Britney Spears is causing quite the distraction.. Haha. Music quite often is for me though tbh.

So today I finished reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

For the first half of the book (about 150 pages) I was feeling a lot like this:

But I'll confess that the second half of the book was actually not too bad. Maybe I was just more in the mood for it. The book's main flaw is that there seems to be no real reason for Darcy to like Lizzy at all. He mentions that he likes her eyes and the next moment it's all "Marry me!"

Also, Jane, naming a character after yourself then describing her as the really beautiful one is not doing anything for your vanity. Just sayinngg..

I actually only read the book in the first place becuase I decided a long time ago that I would make some kind of attempt to read some of the stuff that might come in handy next year. To do a Literature degree without reading P&P seemed a bit bad. So I've done it! (It took me about a week of perseverance lol)

But seeing as I was in the mood I decided to watch the film as well. The Keira Knightley one.

She is not Elizabeth Bennet. Sorry :/ The "Mrs Darcy" bit at the end made me want to be sick.

In other newz - I went to see a play today! It was a comedy about Moby Dick. My mum can only describe it as "ridiculous", and I, being in the mood for such phrases, can only describe it as "utterly nonsensical".

It was really good though haha :P (the mermaid was a tad freaky though. I just kept thinking "I'm ooolddd Grreeeggg")

So there was this big beast of a spider in the bathroom last night. It creeeeeepppyyyy :( I spent my entire shower watching that it didn't get too close lol.

And this morning - it was gone!! Blehhh I hate it when I can't see where they are.. it's like they could pounce any second... (that is, if spiders pounced)

Over the past two days have re-read The Secret Garden and A Little Princess again :D So I'm trying to stop myself from using old-fashioned words all the time (e.g. When spidey came to play I thought "Oh, what a horrid little creature!" ....don't tell anyone o.o)

Am going to see die Schwester tomorrow when John and dad go to a footie game wooooo

Oh and I had my interview with Mr. Skelton about 6th Form... We spent most of it talking about Turkey lol. Think I'm in, though :D

ETA: Haha. Spidey died. I crushed him into the corner of my room with a tissue.

Do spiders rot?
