I’ve put this off for far too long.
What is the POINT in going to war and gunning down people who are on your side?! I was watching the news last night, and there was a tribute to the journalist who was shot dead by American troops, Terry Lloyd. Just how stupid are they?
And how the fuck can Blair and Bush kick off at Saddam for breaking the rules of the Geneva Convention when it’s their fault that American prisoners of war are being shown on Iraqi television? They started this war. They’ve got nobody to blame but themselves.
And know what else pisses me off? When people criticise teenagers for protesting, and say none of us know what war’s about and that we’re using it as an excuse to skive off school. Oh, DON’T we know what it’s all about? I wish they’d credit us as having some brains. I wasn’t present on Thursday when we had a short demonstration at our school (or so I’ve been told), but if I’d been there, you can bet anything that I would’ve been there, protesting just like the adults do. People forget that we are the voices of the future, we are the future voters of this country. I’m not quite sure when the next election falls, but I tell you something, if I’m old enough then there’s no way that Blair’s getting my vote.
Right. Now that’s out of the way...My teeth hurt. Hardly surprising, really, seeing as I went for my brace tightening this morning. It’s really annoying, coz it’s not proper pain, it’s just sort of a dull ache that’s always there. If it was a proper pain I wouldn’t mind as much, but this just takes the piss.
Everyone was being really two-faced today. Rhea’s mum went into school and told Mr. Griffiths (headteacher, also known as Vampire Nun) that everyone who goes round to the bushes at break smokes (she found out coz she read Rhea’s diary. Why it’s any business of hers what other people apart from Rhea do, I have no idea. My parents know my mates smoke but they’re not going to go up to school and start bitching about it, coz it’s nowt to do with them). So, anyway, in French everyone was saying we should all batter Rhea because of this. Have to say, I agreed a bit, coz I don’t think it’s at all fair for everyone else to get fucked for everything (even if they did it, but all anyone’s done is smoke anyway). Then at dinner, we came back from the chippy, and everyone was being all nice to Rhea! And after school, too. What’s going on there? Fucking two-facedness, that’s what it is. Yes, she walked with me and Laurence on the way home, but I’m not the one who’s in the shit and wanting to kick the crap out of her.
And that’s what else annoyed me, as well - Nicola Heslop’s mum came to pick her up after school and they were all prepared to go get in the car and just leave me, but then Laurence came back. They couldn’t fit us in, they said. Further down the road, though, we saw the car stop, and Stephen McQueen (not his real name, but he is an annoying bastard) and Andy Seed get in. Oh, thanks a lot, Nicola. I class you as a friend too. Sorry if that sounds bitchy and all, but I'm just that way inclined today.
Laurence thinks I'm in a mood with her and I'm not, I'm not really in a mood with anyone apart from Eyebrows and the select few who possess the predisposition to be extremely annoying (I haven't used a modified HP quote in a while, lol).
