Thoughts on... stupid road signs.

'DEBRIS ON ROAD.'
All very well and good, if you can tell that that`s what it says. The 'R' looks like a 'B', and the 'B' and 'D' look like an 'O's. By the time you`ve distinguished that 'OEOBIS ON BOAO' is what the sign says, translated that from Latin, and realised it can`t have -actually- said 'OEOBIS ON BOAO' you got the said Oeobis stuck in you engine. 'CRAP AHEAD' would be much more effective.

'ONCOMING VECHILE.'
On a motorway. I found it slightly disturbing to be honest. At high speed? How big? It is a threat? Or a drunk?

'THIS SIGN IS NOT IN USE.'
I guess the highway council were being warned about un-employment risks and had to make extra jobs? Or do they have really bad apprentices? Well, I suppose making completely useless signs is a good way to burn money and test the printer.

'TIREDNESS KILLS - TAKE A BREAK.'
Or watch the road instead of reading this sign. Your choice.

'PEDESTRIANS DO NOT CROSS HERE.'
I`m in car. Why would I care?

'NO PARKING HERE AT ANY TIME, EXPECT 8PM - 8AM.'
Basically, park here. Unless it`s convenient, it which case you can`t. Cause we`re the council and mean like dat. And make stupid signs. xD

Thoughts on... people who read in the middle of a meal.

It`s a meal. A family meal. Don`t read. It`s pretty much the only only time in the whole day all of us can tear ourselves away from the computer screen at one moment, so must we read? It should be a time to do stuff together, even if that is me just listening about how to fix a Freeview box or the latest kind of pest found in the garden. Or even if it`s just people listening to me whinge about how much I hate cabbage. Or just sitting in a happy awkward silence. We should be doing something together before we return to the self-same thing we were doing before we stopped doing stuff to eat and read. Plus, I don`t read that much, so I just feel left out if I have nothing to do or no-one to talk to or make awkward silence with. If you like to read, should I just Facebook? xD

Thoughts on... people who don`t text back!

Infuriating. In a word. Yes, fine of you don`t have any credit. Yes, fine if you`ve had some sort of texting ban from your network. Yes, fine if the conversation dies. But just suddenly deciding to not text back? No. Middle of a conversation, and don`t even pull 'I ran out of credit' on me, when I know you have unlimited texts. Granted, the excuses 'I lost signal' and 'My phone ran out of battery' are always good ones if you don`t like the person talking to you. And on Facebook, by putting up a status 'Sorry of I don`t answer on chat, chat broke.' then telling the nice people, that in fact it didn`t, is another way of avoiding awkward conversations. Thank fully msn has adapted itself for the people out there, like me, who want to see who`s online before they commit to being online themselves. Thank you, "Appear offline."
But honestly, if you don`t want to talk to me, just reply with 'Sorry, your boring.' or, 'I have better things to do, find a traffic jam to sit in, or rearrange my sock drawer.' because if you`re going to stop texting, you may as well do it humourously. Bah. xD

Thought on... evil inset days.

My school is striking on Thursday, for the most part. My year, not being in that most part. I`m in for 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th lessons. They`re providing no school dinners. I am very annoyed at all this uproar:(! But as I am veryy tired, I shall vent my anger on you all tomora. Good night.

Thoughts on... playing and instrument, and my inability to do so.

Out of my tight circle of friends, I am the only one with no musical talent. Nil, zero, null. One can play the clarinet and keyboard, one the flute, one the piano, and one keyboard, piano and is learning guitar. My musical capabilities extend as far as half a term or so of cello lessons. I didn`t even want them. I wanted to play the violin, and to me, being forced to play the clarinet just reinforced the image inside my head that I couldn`t stand up for long periods of time cause I was too fat.
So thank you, whoever made me play the cello.
Plus, in an orchestra, you hardly see the cello players. They sit somewhere at the back or the side, and play you the low notes. Violin-ists (or whatever) stand at the front in your face, and prance around a bit when they have nothing to do.
In my head? Violin = elgant. Cello = I grew out of being elegant (only when you have no idea what you`re doing, which just makes me feel worse. If I had the slighest clue on how to play a cello, I`d have been much better off. Professionals have this amazing ability to make what felt horrible and screechy to me, look amazing).
And I sing. Loudly. I`m not sure if I should offer out cotton wool to my friends or not, because I don`t SUCK (too badly) at Singstar and such games, but then, my friends might just be too nice to tell me I actually do SUCK (that badly). So I apologise.
And I have little enough self-respect to want to sing in front of a whole class.
But I can whistle. I can even do a tune now.
So whilst all my friends learn amazing pieces of Mozart or Paramore, or are just flying through there music exams, I stay at home and try to whistle this.
Time Takers - She Blows (The whistle tune).
"If you like dutch house, drum and bass, grime, bass music, house and dubstep, you will love this track."
Ha! You can`t play THAT on a piano!
Or at least if you can, don`t tell me. I was so chuffed x)

And I can play Avril Lavigne - What the hell on a keyboard. And whenever I`m even NEAR one, I insist upon doing so.

But whistling`s my forte. XD

Hellor.

I`m guessing the majority of the world has Facebook, but I`m guessing only people my age do statuses along the lines of 'For every like I`ll write a confession'
I did one so such of these, and one of my confession was that I had too many jokes going through my head, that weren`t worth the time it took to say them. Someone asked me for some examples, but I couldn`t think of any. So I intend to write them all here, little rambling thoughts about society and technology and stuff. If and when I feel like it.
Which probably won`t be often, as my other two blogs have shriveled away to nothing more than wasted space on the internet.
Sarcastic comments welcomed.
