Sorry, but it is. I have just been to Sidmouth with my mother, to see my Aunt, and there are NUTTERS everywhere.
CLEARLY the elderly simply go there to die, and the deckchairs are probably full of corpses at the end of each sunlit day. I experienced a pre-death nutter yesterday, in a gawwjus lil' gift shop full of quaint loveliness named "All Things Bright And Beautiful".
I was talking about the Daily Mail to my Aunt, and it was just general chat UNTIL Nutter Number One grabbed my arm (yes, she actually touched me) and said "Oh they are far right, aren't they?" then went on this very disconcerting rant about political ignorance in the youth today, stated her awe at my future studying of Government & Politics at A-Level, assumed my Aunt was my mother and FINALLY let us, smirking and giggling, out of her vice. We escaped, just, with bruises on our arms and mouths aching from trying not to laugh.
It was BONKERS.
The rest of our trip was relatively un-fucking-weird, and I enjoyed the seaside overall. But... Sidmouth? WEIRD.

Bon apres-midi, toulemondes...
...d'accord. Excuse mon francais, s'il vous plait - je sais c'est terrible. Et c'est de babelfish.com, donc je suis tres desole.
Oh fuck it, I like french but that was getting complicated. I'll try again another day (year). Anyway - this is a show-off blog post. Because I have been PRODUCTIVE. Babelfish says it is 'productif' in french, but I doubt their ability and knowledge, to be frank.
Would you like a list of my productivity? I'm sure you would:
1. I have followed Dixy's advice and created a 'revision zone' in my room. Admittedly, I am just blogging and facebooking in my 'revision zone' (speech bunnies are required whenever this phrase is said aloud), but the principle is still there.
2. I made some BANANA BREAD. I don't much like banana bread, but I had a dream that the food teacher in our school made some for me, and I woke up with a craving. Unfortunately, in the dream it had chocolate in it and was simply just CALLED Banana Bread. However, I trusted my subconscious and made the bread. And it's actually pretty nice stuff.
3. I have organised all my books/revision textbooks/sheets into magazine boxes. Unfortunately I am taking nine exams, and the desk will only take about seven. But there you go. Again, it is the principle.
4. My room is spotless. It's really lovely, and the cat has been curled up on the bed ALL day (and all night; she slept on my feet!) and there are fairy lights up and it's all wonderful. I have a lovely view from my window, too. Okay, so it's a cemetery. But it helps me focus on wanting to do things before I get there. I'll pose the biggest problem to you, however: the normal answer to "You've got noisy neighbours, who you gonna call?" is the police. Us? Ghostbusters.
5. I tidied downstairs too. Then messed it up, but managed to blackmail mama into re-tidying it, because I tidied it the first time. Mwaha.
And numero SIX is: I've written loads of my script :) I've gone all supersticious about it though, and won't read it back through, and I have to write in certain colours. Okay, that sounded LESS weird in my head than it does in black and off-white. Never mind :)
Anyway, have a LOVELY Sunday, I'll no doubt blog later. Or not. Who knows? I don't.
Au revoir,
Kate (:

Why I Love Saturday Nights...
...I have just sat through Hole In The Wall - with my favourite T.V. chef Simon Rimmer on it, and then Merlin - although, admittedly I didn't pay a single bit of attention - and now Strictly Come Dancing... I love Team Cola!!
Ola is a little rocket of energy, Chris is like Tigger, bouncing around on springs and I want them to win :) VOTE.
I might have a flick over to X-Factor, but now Jedward have gone there isn't much point...! And catch the tail-end of I'm A Celebrity!
That "Impressions Show" thing is on, which I do like, the only problem is that they take the mick out of celebrities I like... Michael Mcintyre for example - I like him! He takes the piss out of himself, and doesn't need someone else to do it for him!
I might update later if I can be bothered!

Just A Quick Update...
...You have rather happy Kate here with you this evening. For starters, I am hopefully going to my best friend's Nanny's for the night, so we can housesit for her :) This, of course, means DOMINO's!!!!!!!!!!!!! And an evening of Children In Need, most likely :) :)
PLUS, I am on Cloud Nine as my two favourite Formula One drivers of all time - the wonderful Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button are going to drive for my favourite Formula One team of all time... Mclaren! It's an all-English pit next season and I can safely say I am delighted :) As soon as the 2010 shirts are in stock, I'm nabbing a few.
Never will I be prouder to wear the cloth of the Silver Car!
Another thing is I have my rabbit in the kitchen with me. He is currently shivering in the corner, I think he's a little nervous but I'm busy with homework and therefore cannot tend to him as he should wish. He'll have to cope - this is supposed to be exercise for him and I refuse to chase him around the kitchen.
Anyway, that's all my happy news - how are you? What's happened in your life that you are happy about?

Twiglet
Yes, the time has come readers (all three of you) for my TWILIGHT RANT!
It was splashed all over the news this morning that a new torment to my cinema was arriving shortly; New Spoon or something. One of the many teenage hos lining the barriers of the Premier said she would "totally like, die for Twilight". I nearly died of disappointment in the human race at this moment.
My sister, who is a student and therefore biologically programmed at this time in her life to rant about everything, spouted a load of poo about feminism and abusiveness. But then I thought (not that I'd admit it to her) she kinda has a point...
Think about it - Eddy, from the moment of meeting Bella, tells her what to do. To "protect" her. She is constantly covered in mysterious bruises after their dates and he essentially controls her from Day One.
Smack of an Abusive Relationship, anyone?! But Stephenie Meyer glamourises it as romantic, perhaps even a modern day Romeo and Juliet?
Now, comparing Meyer with Shakespeare anywhere near me provokes me to the point of murderous thoughts, and Romeo and Juliet is second to NONE. It promotes the idea of an equal relationship where both male+female have to sacrifice the same - love of their families, and eventually their lives, for the same aim - union.
And finally, the Number One Reason Twilight Sucks? The vampires - FLY. W.T.F.

Well HOWDY ALL...
... How was your Hallowe'en? Mine was rather delightful! I went to Sophie Few's on the Friday and had a LOT of fun. We watched MIRRORS and I have to admit it was awfully frightening. I couldn't look in mirrors for rather a long time after that...!
It was Firework Night on Thursday, and I fully expect the fireworks to go on for a good two weeks afterwards, which I DESPISE! I can't STAND fireworks, and think they should be BANNED except for organised displays, they do my HEAD in. My cat and my rabbit were simply petrified. What do you think?
Now I am watching The Aristocats, one of my favourite Disney Films (:
Sorry it's only a short blog, I have loads to say but am feeling rather fatigant (:

Trust...
... This blog is going to be meaningful, so listen up. Do you trust people? How easily do you trust people?
This follows an *ahem* 'discussion' I had with my friend last night. They said they weren't "able to wait" for me to trust them, and apparently resent the fact that I do not trust people easily.
So do you think that a you can't have friends if you don't TRUST them? Are there different elements and stages of TRUST? There are some people I trust with my life, but I wouldn't tell them a secret.
Is it easier not to TRUST people, to DEPEND only on YOURSELF? Does TRUSTING people only end in tears?
Opinions wanted...

HEALTH WARNING!
Well, not really. Just been to Doc's, my GP is called Dr GoedBloed, prounounced 'Good Blood', so she's pretty reassuring.
Anyhoo, following my nasty nasty blood test, I went back for the results. Goodness knows why the cyberweb is being informed of my health before, for example, next of kin, but you never know who cares!
Doc said my iron levels are low and I am now popping Iron Tablets like Fizzers and I believe that within a week I will rattle when shaken. Feel free to come and shake me vigorously. Blood test in two months bleurrgh nasty :(
AND she gave me super-top-tips on how to get some sleep, and have been instructed to go for a walk this afternoon. In the freezing cold. Great. But if it is in the name of good health, I shall obey.
I am off for now, to make some cards or doing something equally crafty and sly before lunch. Oooh... lunch. I wonder what I'll scavenge from the fridge today.
Ta-ra, have a good one!

Good Morrrrnin'
Morning all, just struggled out of bed and threw myself into the shower. Clearly I am out of the shower now, that would be just plain odd.
Listening to some choons (and a half, as Roo would say!), then off to sort out my iPod with Mummy (:
Mother said she'll "help" me with the cost - so she bloody should. She put the original, now brok-ed, iPod in the washing machine in the first place! ;)
Anyway, only a short check-in this morning but will surely update you later, unless I forget. Got a lil' gathering this evening with Rubix Cube, Lander, Beardy, Tully and apparently Sion? Mmn... too long a story to tell you all bloggity-woggityerrs.

The second time won't hurt...
...Good afternoon all, it's Day Two of me being locked in to get BETTER, and I had to go to school! I shuffled over there in the cold and wet, after it was DEMANDED I came in by my English teacher. Then I hobbled home, soaked, and had some spaghetti+sausages on toast :)
Anyway, that's not important. I have become a bit of a This Morning addict, and via the wonderful media of Twitter, I told Philip Schofield so. He replied telling me to get well soon, so I'm rather delighted :)
Now I'm watching Have I Got A Bit More News For You on BBC iPlayer and looking up prices for iPod touches :)
How was everyone elses' day?

Blog Virginity...
... Well well. My first blog! How exciting is this?! There really isn't that much to tell, I've been home today all ill and sickly - AGAIN - and it's likely I'll be out of action for a while.
I had a blood test this morning, the most hideous of things. Because last time I decided to fall over a bit afterwards they had to lie me down for it, and it felt all sordid and naughty. She spent a while poking the vein with my inane shrieking of "IS THAT IT? IS THAT THE NEEDLE?!" and the poor dear going "No love, that's my finger" because she actually stabbed the blessed thing in. She was awfully nice though, as was the receptionist who kept asking "Are you sure you're okay?" as I gently swayed side to side.
Needless to say, I ended up at home feeling miserable. And ahead of me is the vast expanse of 'HALF-TERM' which promises more bed-ridden hours of moping. I've already eaten a muffin and three caramel-shortbread slices today, I'm so naughts!
Anyway, I better be off as I have to convince Mother to allow me to indulge in Horrible Histories rather than Neighbours, which I've already watched today!
Over and out:
