No ifs no buts, no education cuts!

So I'm planning on going to the protest coming up this Tuesday for student fees. But from what I've seen on youtube and on tv I'm actually kind of worried. But I'm still going to go because I think David Cameron has lost his nut.

How do you not realise that if you higher the prices, less people will go to uni and there won't be many people that will have the right qualifications to work and that will lead this country to poverty, or more and more people will want to live off the government and not make any money of their own! Another thing is that students will start looking for work to pay for these unrealistic fees, and with more people losing their jobs instead of getting one those chances look pretty slim too. I know I sound silly trying to change the world by writing on my blog but hey you have to start somewhere.

Anyway back to this 'situation'. I'm not on anyone's side here but Nick Clegg did say he wouldn't let the prices for uni go any higher. He says its because its a coalition government that they had to come to a compromise, but I still think its pretty bullshit...And they have also tried to defend themselves by saying that its not going to be £9,000 for everyone. But to be honest we all know at some point it will get there, and not many people shit out money.

I also think theres two ways of looking at all this violent behaviour happening at these protests, one is that its bad, and that people are just living up to that bad stereotype about young people. But another way of looking at it is that if you're silent you won't be heard. I'm not sure which one I agree with because they both make sense, but I know I'm not really a violent person so I'll probably stand there hopelessly in the cold with my friends and a lame poster or something. But heres hoping that I don't freeze, scratch, fall or hurt myself in this process!

The fall of the Champions.

Sitting there watching these teams that were known for being the best losing to random little clubs is just depressing. It not only ruins my day but it just makes me wonder, why are you payed so much to do shit all?

As a Liverpool supporter I'm not having a lot of fun watching their matches. But I couldn't help but feel smug when Liverpool won against Chelsea 2-0, and it made it even better that a friend of mine who is a Chelsea supporter just sat there stunned as I shouted with pure joy!

But it is weird though, like a freaky plague or something out to get all the good players! Drogba made no effort in that match whatsoever and hes meant to be Chelsea's 'finest'. And Torres just about made up for his short comings but I'm still not happy. When players play badly I think they should have a big huge salary cut! Like when your young and your parents cut down your allowance. They should also introduce the naughty step within the changing rooms, imagine that 'Gerrard and Torres get on the naughty step!' Haha that would be something that everyone would want to see. But sadly I don't think that would work out so well.

But I guess thats the beauty of football, you can never be too sure of whos going to win and thats what makes it all so exciting!

The big day.

Ok so I have to talk about Prince William and Kate Middleton's engagement. Its a bit sad that I don't even know them and yet I'm so excited that I'm going to witness their wedding...On tv, thats right my very own front row. It couldn't come around fast enough, but watching a royal wedding would be just the perfect kind of entertainment, and because she's what you consider to be a 'normal' girl it makes their love story a lot more interesting.

But anyway yes thats all I wanted to say just thought I should get out my excitement and share it with you all!

Retail therapy, friend or foe?

When you buy the perfect bag or shoes or the perfect anything it can make your day 100x better. But does it actually help or are we just tryna fill some sort of emptiness that we have? Now I know I sound kind of cringe thinking about stuff like this in my spare time, but as I look around my messy room I can see clothing that I was once was so excited about buying on the floor or laying somewhere unloved.

Don't get me wrong I still love walking into a shop and smelling the smell of new clothes (too much?), but I still think that its just a heat of the moment happyness (unless its the classic q francesca marc jacobs bag).
Now if you're like me and are addicted to shopping you will know that once you've bought all your stuff and you get home you can often feel like, what on earth did I even buy? And then your just left there in your room with less clothes than you thought you bought because you were so over excited. Your money tends to spill away faster than you can imagine and yet we're all so crazy to get stuff that we won't really ever wear! Money can't buy love or give us the therapy we actually need, but knowing what we really NEED instead of just WANT will fix everything.

Remove tag.

This ones a random google one, sadly I'm not blonde.

So I'm going through old birthday party pictures from a couple of years back of me and my friends. Not only am I shocked about my taste and how its changed in such a short amount of time, but the amount of bad pictures is just crazy...

Theres nothing more horrific than going online a day or two after a party and seeing a picture of yourself where you look like you saw a ghost...Or worse. Now, when you have a friend like mine who takes pictures like its getting her high you need to think ahead. Take the camera from her and delete all the bad ones, it seems extreme but hey thats just me! One bad picture can make you a whole different person.
Since I love photography I always have my camera with me, but even if there is a horrible picture of a friend I would never torture and shame him/her like that, but for the cruel people out there that would, its too bad for you that if worst comes to worst we can just remove tag!

Romance...Yuck.

Right, hi again!

So I wanted to touch base on the topic of romance. Now some may say I'm a bit of a weird character because I'm a girl and I don't like chocolate, I love football and I hate it when guys get all sweet and mushy gushy...Its just awkward!

When a guy says something really romantic, what are you meant to say? I can't help but cover it up with a really lame joke or just try and laugh it off which probably puts him off, but in all honesty he should know not to say things like that. I mean sometimes if a guy is all poetic and says something sweet I could deal with that, but I would rather trade poetry, roses and chocolates for my nighty, pizza and more pizza.

In my opinion (even if I'm being a bit cynical) when you're with someone romance is only good on birthdays, valentine's day, anniversaries and other holiday type things! I think its just a bit of a façade and you won't ever know the real person if you both keep playing this play that we've been shown is the right way. To me romance is just sitting there together watching a film or just having a good time doing absolutely nothing! Its just normal, not planned out and you can see the real you, and if two people really like each other their company and time together everyday should be romantic enough.

The big intro.

Hi there to the great people of this beautiful world. Too cheesy? Yeah thought it might be.
Anyway I kind of feel like I'm talking to myself...But of course I'm not I'm talking to you!
So I've had this account since March 2009 and only today have I thought to actually do something with it. I promise you the rest of my blogs won't be this boring. But we have to get past all the small talk first before we can get to the good stuff.

So last night I was at a stand up comedy gig at Wahoo bar, and the 'secret comedian' for the end of the night, who's not really THAT secret was Stephen Merchant! I've gone on about it to my friends and I think they're getting sick and tired so I shall now tell you. He gave me a handshake, and he said a few words to me!
Don't worry I don't want you to think I'm one of those 'I will never wash my hands now' kind of girls (even though I might have said it once or twice) but how can you not get excited the man is a genius!
Anyway, thats been the highlight of my very boring week. So I am now doing this to spice things up a little.

But yes as I said before, the rest of my blogs will be a lot less boring, but for now I'm out!
