New post, say wut?!

I realised that it's been a very, very long time since any of us posted on here so I decided to write something because it means putting off my ethics revision for the mock exam that little bit longer.

I was thinking about technology the other day and how although we sort of 'grew up' with technology - that our generation can still remember not having it as a central part of our lives. I remember in lower school we had one computer in the class room; one of those old ones with the massive monitor screens and it was a privilege to play a game on it or draw something on paint. Then there's the music side of it, I still remember having cassette tapes opposed to CD's and a chunky mp3 player rather than an iPod.

Obviously these things have grown with us really, it worries me that some children now immediately latch on to technology as soon as they're older enough to understand it. At least with us, although it was becoming increasingly popular and common, we still had to use our imagination and make up games etc. I'm not sure if children are encouraged in that way so much now? I hope they are because there's only so much that playing a game on a screen can do for your creativity and imagination.

Basically, are we all becoming to dependant on technology?
I think maybe we are.

Plumbers in the kitchen

Hi.
I am jelous of you all, you with your holidaying. We have plumbers instead.
They're walking around the house as I type. I mistrust strangers when they are in my house. They could steal my cats or tread on something. I've had to clear out my whole room so they can get to the floorboards which was tiring but at least they can't destroy anything in there. All my books are in boxes except HP and the philosophers stone because what if they spilt tea on the box it was in? It's hidden in my sock draw, which is in the wardrobe that can't be opened because my bed's in the way.
Okay so I'm a little paranoid but shh.
They're here until Friday. We can't leave the house. All week I'm going to be sat here watching them suspiciously over they top of my laptop while they think I'm some kind of demented Golem hissing when they get too near my stuff.

Meow!

It's been a few months since the last post so I thought I'd start this up again considering the summer holidays are pretty much here now - and all theexams are finished! It was cool last year to hear what everybody was up to during the summer, maybe we could do something abit like that this year too? If anybody wants to that is. (:

Hope you're all enjoying your extra long summer, even though the weather isn't always that great...

Zombie apocalypse!

So I found this pretty cool quiz that tells you how well you'd fair in a zombie apocalypse. It's better than the crappy facebook ones anyway.Post your results below?:)
Once you've done the quiz there's an answer button thing that tells you all you need to know.

EDIT: I got the numbers of my results:
physical rating- 50 (B)
mental rating- 12 (F)
experience rating- 7 (F)
emotional rating- 68 (B)
End result: F, I'm dead.

Yessss

"Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself."

Someone do all my homework for me please? Thanks.

Pressure

I think there is a lot of pressure on teenagers these days;
To do well in exams, to be funny, to look a certain way, to not stand out, to fit in, to make people happy one hundred percent of the time... And there's probably a lot more things too. But the point I want to make is that we can't always be every one's idea of perfect. We shouldn't have to try to even be that anyway because we are all different - we've been told it since we were in lower school and it still hasn't seemed to sink in for some people.

Everyone is wonderful in their own way maybe it's because they are a good listener, can make people laugh effortlessly, that they are always there for you, are incredibly clever - the list goes on.

If anything we should all want to be different because after all, who wants to be known as a clone. If someone doesn't like you for you then they aren't worth waiting for or even wasting your mind over. They can live on excluding people from their lives. That's their choice. It doesn't mean you are any less beautiful, lovely or interesting. It's just that they didn't want to spend the time to know you for being you. Nerd, or otherwise.

New date, new start?

2011...

So people go on about how a new year means nothing, the same stuff will still happen just the same as it did the last day of 2010. Although I agree that not everything is going to change suddenly just like that, I do think it will have some impact on people if they want it to. As a new year doesn't just bring a new date, but a new state of mind. People reflect on the past year, make plans for the new one, pinpoint things they want to do in the future. Even small things all build up to make an overall change. It's like your birthday, you feel no different from the day before or even the day before that but eventually there is a change. You grow up. I believe the new year to be similar in some ways. A new year comes with a new outlook on the future, the thing that divides people is the choice to take the opportunity of change and run with it, or just to see it pass by every year and decide that the old way of doing things will do. It takes motivation which is something that generally most people lack, including myself. But the option is always there to change, not just on a new year but any time of the year - you just need the motivation to get going and maybe a little push along the way. 2011 isn't always going to be an easy ride, I can tell that already, as every year has it's highs and lows but we'll get through it. I hope you all have a really great start to the new year, especially you Emma as it will be your birthday on New Year's Day!

So I believe the new year can bring a new start, and new changes if you let it and want it to...

Happy New Year,
Lauraaa

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hopefully birthday plans will be around soon...

I am.

I am Laura Skelton. I am fifteen years old. I am a twin. I go to Queensbury Upper School...

But where is 'Laura',
The person I am, the person people know me as?

I am who I am because of what i've experienced, the people i've met and the places I have been but where is my personality kept? You can't take it out of somebody. It's something I will always own. But did I ever have a choice of what I am like? Do I now? Will it live on somehow when i'm gone?

So many questions.
No answers.

Laura.
