La Roux
Edit This
I just can't understand why there is such a massive hype about La Roux's debut album. If it's anything like her debut single 'Going in for the Kill' then it's going to be 10 tracks of cats screeching with a drum beat and synth over the top of it.
Don't get me wrong the track she's produced instrumentally is amazing, it's just her singing that I cannot stand. It's very diva like with all the "oooooooh ooooooooh"s and it's really insanely high pitched. I think the main listeners of her album will be Bats and small children. One of my friends said it's the fact that she produces good beats that matters, beats that people will listen to. Are the people listening to it deaf? I'm sure that as a result of listening to her songs deafness will be forced upon people!
La Roux, i am not a fan.

GCSE

It brings me the greatest pleasure ever to be able to say that i am no longer sitting my GCSE's. I HAVE FINIIIISHHHEDDDD!
The whole of the past two years has been focused on these exams. It's ridiculous that these things are seen to determine the rest of my life, so basically if I fail them I will end up a heroin riddled drug addict with no stable job and no hope at all. Crazy. However I haven't failed them, I am in the safe knowledge that I have achieved at least 5 A-C's and will comfortably get into college (: I'm glad the hype is over and i can now relax until about a week before results day (27th August) when i will start to lose my mind and contemplate every single possible outcome.
I'm sure the ritual of the media reporting that exams are getting easier once the results are out will occur. Has it not crossed their minds that maybe just maybe the teaching standards are improving? Or that the quality of resources is far better than it use to be? Evidently not. They just say it's getting easier, which is amazingly frustrating as us Teenagers work our butts off to achieve good grades. All the stress, tears and sleepless nights are apparently un-needed and the exams are getting easier. Mmmhm and i'm the queen of spain.
I am so looking forward to college. The fact I'll be treated like an actual human being and not just another stereotyped hooligan is something I think I'll get used to quite quickly. I'm taking a set of incredibly challenging and essay based subjects but i welcome a challenge. Politics, Law, English Literature and Modern History. There's no real reason behind me choosing them, I want to go into Written Journalism (which is another reason for the blog) so i figured essay based ones would prove my wicky wow writing skills. I think Politics should be quite good as I'm actually pretty interested in it all and how it works (: 'Citing stuff.
Then there's the parties and the immense socialising, but obviously that's not my main reason for being excited about college. I'm there for the education... (; We get to go to Alton Towers during the first week, i've never been and reckon this is a genius idea to get us newbies to bond. I welcome it with open arms (:
Love

Summer
Edit This
It's a moment for the baby book when someone writes their very first blog to be posted out into the big wide world.
I thought I'd start off with the topic of Summer seen as my name is Sunny. I love summer and everything related to it; the grass, the weather (even if it's a thunderstorm-which i love), the events and the exciting things i can do that i can't do any other time of year. Sunbathe for instance, that's always fun even though it takes ages for me to tan seen as how I'm roughly the same shade of white as a piece of paper. That is no exaggeration either.
There's things i undergo yearly that only happen during summer, for instance every July i go camping with a load of friends for a hardcore week or worshipping God and having lots of fun. Camping's never fun in the rain, sat in a freezing cold tent with about FIFTY layers on watching the rain come down in torrents and your tent floor slowly becoming flooded with enough water to fill a Dam.
I'm jubilant at the reports of a 'BBQ Summer' this year. The Americans get Indian Summers and the UK get BBQ Summers, I'm noticing a pattern of food related weather reports. Maybe next we'll have a Fruity Summer.
I wonder if a hose pipe ban will be imposed this year in the south. It's always different in the north, we just get Reservoirs that aren't full. As soon as that happens all hell breaks loose and we have a water 'shortage'. Has it never occurred to anyone that our little country is an island and there's PLENTY of water around us? That's just like the British public, to complain about everything. We complain when there's too much water in the form of rain and we complain when there's not enough water because it isn't raining. We're never pleased are we?
I look forward to whatever summer decides to throw my way this year, seen as how i have an extra long 10 week summer it should be full of fun and frolics.
Sunny.
