stuff i learnt today

today i learnt some things.

• i learnt how to pay in a check
• i learnt that people other than me actually get on/off at my bus stop
• i learnt that my cousin doesn't have a consistent lunch time
• i learnt that i can change tables four times in an hour, in the same cafe
• and i learnt that £1.40 is way too much for one cookie

and another thing. i asked my mum if she wanted to go to watch 500 Days of Summer tomorrow in Basingstoke (i would have gone with friends if they were showing it in Andover, but apparently it's not a big enough film to show). i thought this was a good idea, considering how she is always going on about us not spending enough time together, and i knew she wanted to look for an outfit to wear to a wedding we are attending next week. she said this:

'i don't think so. you have homework to do. and i have to take your brother out.'

gee, thanks mum, i feel so loved.

when i have to have counselling in ten years time, this will be one of those moments that makes me break down and cry out 'why didn't you love me' etc etc. what's more ironic, is when i was reading my book while waiting an hour for my cousin to turn up today, i came across the quotation 'all parents damage their children'. apparently, it's true. and it's not like there was even a hint of favouritism toward my sibling either...

i do have a lot of homework though. 500 words about a place i visited for english, 200 words evaluating a play for drama and theatre, and to analyse two film posters for media. but i've finished my maths, five pages of equations, done. oh and those two books. yay.

oh, and i have that teenagery thing where a week before i do something for the first time which is really big and i am really nervous about - like college - i suddenly breakout in a bazillion spots and my hair is never right and i can't seem to do my make-up properly and my fashion sense dies. that is the one thing i hate about being a teenager.

ps. the time and date this morning was 09:09:09, 09/09/09. weird.
