I've got nothing to fear, in this city

shit, dr who
I'm listening to a song at the moment that makes it all sunny, for some reason. It's nice, because it's currently bucketing it down outside. It was lovely for a few days there. Oh well. I'm in the middle of my GCSEs, on study leave at the moment. In between re-reading 'Our Town' and 'Animal Farm' for the 3590th time (English Lit), I'm writing letters and listening to music. Korma sauce is lovely over vegetables, interestingly.

Probably going into Belfast or Lisburn tomorrow; I'd like to get an address book...probably just a plain one, will decorate it with all the ragged comic books I picked up from Oxfam a while back. I have too many peoples' addresses and numbers written on scraps of paper, or worse; just in my mobile's phone book. Dodgy stuff, because mobiles are irritatingly volatile...this old brick is holding out nicely, but I don't want to take the chance :)

I can't wait for summer...something tells me this summer's going to be different. I'm hopefully starting A Levels in September (that sounds so weird, I'm definitely not old enough!), and I left compulsory edumacation a week ago. Scary stuff. I hope I don't lose touch with everyone...I'm doing A Levels at the same school, so it shouldn't be that hard until I get to Uni. Fingers crossed. Although having said that, I don't think losing touch with people would be all bad. Probably the opposite.

I'm hoping to do some work experience, and then just getting the train to wherever's sunniest, or biking around town for the craic. I'm not sure if I have the money or the energy to leave NIreland, but travelling's always fun. There's summer schemes booked, Belfast Pride (...for the craic), Amnesty, and going on the hunt for Awesome.

I have exams to do first though. Ho hum.

Also, does anyone know a vegetarian alternative to prawn crackers? A vegetarian friend of mine is going crazy for them, but obviously the prawn-y bit of them is not-so-good.

"You mean there's prawns in prawn crackers?"
"Um, yeah. Unless...what prawn crackers have you been eating?"
"Uh, well, I thought it was just a name."
"No, I'm afraid not. Well done there."

Hey Laura, thanks for the comment. I was starting to think I was the only Northern Irish person on here...spooky :P. Now I can say craic without you thinking I'm a stoner Yay :D. And I'm slightly jealous that you're studying Animal Farm for English Lit. because I'm doing 'Of Mice and Men' which is a decent book but I had to be the girl from Weed for my drama activity, enough said. So yeah, I hope you're doing well in your GCSEs so far and good luck with the rest ^_^

Thanks! Whereabouts are you from? Sorry if that sounds too stalker-y.

Animal Farm is good, I adore Orwell's work, but I've studied it since 3rd year...it's got old. My English teacher in 3rd year did it 'for a bit of knowledge', and then my GCSE Eng Lit teacher decided to do it. Glorious fun...I really like Benjamin's character though :)

Also, there's a community called [info]nigaff but it's not particularly active. Shame, that. the 'Belfast' community shut down a while back, too.

Lol don't worry it doesn't sound stalker-y. I think I've been desensitised by all the internet safety talks at school :P I'm from Lurgan, which you may or may not have heard of. And any book would get a bit old if you studied it for three years. I've studied Mark's Gospel for RE for two years and if I ever have to see it again then I will crack up. Unless someone makes a parody of it (it's begging for it honestly, I mean between cursed fig trees and a mysterious man running away naked during the arrest of Jesus W.T.F lol). But I'm definitely going to check out Animal Farm over the summer and that community.
