As a treat, and to help you pass the time until I announce the title of the new book, the kindly folks at Harper Collins have come up with something that thrills me to the very core — a throwback to my childhood love of video arcades and all things Space Invaders...

Hehe, hey *spins making Ben miss* hehe, remember to judge your opponents moves
(not yet...otherwise ill wake up too early)
*ben growls playfully and rolls onto his back*
*laughs* a fine young wolf, he is. how are you?
(OMG SUPERMAN IS PLAYING ON BLINKBOX)
(Ok)
*laughs* he is, one day a fine soldier too
I'm fine, yourself?
Tired *stretches* Kids are hard work
*Tegan stands up, wobbles a little, but regains her balance and runs over to Ed*
(Chloe, this is what happened to my school friend, she was getting really tired, they did blood tests for literally everything but nothing's come up. No medicine or anything was working until now.)
Onwa: Hmm. I would like it if you cooked for me..
*kisses her gently*
Wanna get changed first?
Hack: *skids to a stop, slightly out of breath from running, glancing over his shoulder, muttering*
Manuel: If it stops you cleaning.
*smiles*
(my mum called it being a lazy teen
I call it witchcraft
and my bruises from kung fu haven't faded yet...)
(oh god... talk dirty is now playing...)
Liliana: Then I shall cook for you.
Bethany: *she kisses her back, shaking her head* No. *she smiles*
Claire: *she grins, leaping down at him from the top of the building, slowing herself down with a quick flash of telekinesis, tackling him gently*
Lily: *she smiles* Then that is the plan?
(I will be back soon.)
(its its, the ballroom blitz
who else loves old songs?)
(@Chloe I do!)
Onwa: Thank you *smiles*
*grins*
Mmm..
Hack: Ah!
*laughs when he realizes it's her, smiling*
Hi there! I was wondering where you'd gone.
Manuel: *nods, blushing slightly*
(so much better than what you get today)
(OMFG that has to be one of the BEST books I've ever read.
'no one BeLiEvED me i just wanted people to LIKE ME'
*grins* so cool.)
(Say Her Name by James Dawson. I recommend!)
(sounds good ^^ im reading the darkness rising trilogy)
(Night!)
(I'm reading the Ashes trilogy!)
(nos da sis)
(@Chloe *nods* cool. This book has taught me to PAY ATTENTION to grammatical errors in dying messages. Because things like 'no one BeLiEvED me i just wanted people to LIKE ME' can have sinister twists..)
(Nos da saoirse!)
(cool ^^)
(ahhhh ^^)
(*grins* Has anyone ever done the 'Bloody Mary' thing? You know, said her name in front of a candle lit mirror five times at the witching hour?)
(@Chloe get the sinister twist?)
(nope
all the girls tried it though in the bathrooms in primary schoo)
(hehe I think
or I could be going off the rails)
(I think I did it once in juniors. Well, that is I said her name 3 times in front of the mirror with the lights on at lunch(?) time. I then stopped because I saw something (presumably I was imagining stuff) in the mirror and got terrified.)
(@Chloe Mmm. Or you could get it AND be going off the rails.)
(thanks Jai XD you are supposed to reassure me that im not going off the rails XD
I remember once, I was over an ex friend of mines for a sleepover. there was a group of us. my friend, aymee is psychic and she hasd a Victorian ghost girl following her around. she said that she was in the room, and then the light on the ceiling started to swing
what is also freaky is that my ex friend lives next to a grave yard)
(I am? When did that become a thing?
That's weird.)
(Brb. Teeth.)
(its what friends do
and I have also experienced paranormal activity
like dancing lights in the bathroom
I cant come up with an explanation for it)
(okay )
(Oh. Uhmmmmm.. course you aren't going off the rails!
Wow. Freaky.)
(thank you *chirps*
it was
I try not to think of ghosts, I get night terrors)
(You are welcome *nods*
Yeah.. )
Chloe, you're going off the rails.
Oh wait, I mean-
(thanks Sandy...
I must be off now
nos da)
(Nos da Chloe!
Hey Sand(ra D)
(The brain tends to form shapes whilst looking into a mirror in the dark. There is nothing paranormal about it, you are just tricking your mind.)
Liliana: You are welcome.
Bethany: Is that fine?
Claire: Sorry, we went back home. Random question - what is your actual real name?
Lily: I... Could I join you in the shower?
(It is also possible, just less likely, to do the same in the light.)
(*nods* Makes sense. Although it wasn't dark when I did it; I just had an overly imaginative mind. *ruffles past me's hair*)
Onwa: *finishes off her cake*
Mmm.
That's fine.
*kisses her gently, pulling her close*
That's perfect.
Hack: My real name? What's yours?
Manuel: In the shower with me?
(Aww bye Chloe...I love your picture.
My mum and I love "gorjus"
I have badges, a bag, my notebook I write my fanficiton in is by "gorjus" too. They're just so pretty...
I think I've learned the steamie. I ran through it with the DVD so, fingers crossed. I perform it at 10:05 tomorrow and my nana's coming to see it so eeeeeeeeeep. She said she would throw rotten tomatoes at me, she's so cruel. We'll run through it tomorrow before it too anyway.
Chatroom is fine.
Less nervous now, more excited. I have my costume for chatroom in my bag and ironed for tomorrow. It's black jeans with a top that says "American dream" cause we're apparently from Arizona, so I thought it fitted :P
I'm going to bed now, since I have to be up early.
Night guys!
*Hugs*
Wish me luck. I hopefully won't need it but meh.)
Liliana: *she still has a few bites left to go* It is rather rich.
Bethany: *she kisses her back* Just like you... I love the way you look in that shirt...
Claire: You first.
Lily: *she nods* If that's alright?
(Night gem! Good luck!!!)
Onwa: *smirks*
Too sickly for you?
*blushes*
Mmm.. I suppose the shirt isn't that bad.
Hack: *raises an eyebrow, hesitating a moment*
My names Omirr. Terrible I know..
Manuel: If. you wish then you may.
Liliana: Not at all, just rich.
Bethany: It looks good on you. *she smiles*
Claire: *she removes her mask, extending her hand for him to shake* Claire. Claire Lamina.
Lily: *she nods* Please. But only if you're a hundred percent sure?
Onwa: *nods* Mm.
So does that dress.
*grins*
Hack: *shakes her hand*
Nice to meet you Claire.
Manuel: *hesitates slightly but nods*
Liliana: *she finishes the cake*
Bethany: I'd like to see you in it.
Claire: You too, Omirr. *she puts her mask back on* Urgh... I hate this top. *she adjusts the shoulder slightly*
Lily: Do you promise me?
(Hi kas:)
Onwa: *smiles*
Ready to leave?
*raises an eyebrow*
Mmm.. maybe we should swap?
Hack: Its not so bad? Although the costume was kinda cool.
Manuel: Promise what?
(Hey, Jai.)
Liliana: I am.
Bethany: *she nods, smiling*
Claire: I'm wearing it underneath. I've just moved it off my shoulder.
Lily: You're sure?
Onwa: *raises a hand, calling the waiter over*
WP: *smiles brightly at Liliana* Yes?
Onwa: Check, please.
*squeezes her hand, pulling her close*
Hack: Ah, okay.
Manuel: I'm sure.
*wonders if Hope will rp today*
Spent some time looking for an article, but it's not on the internet... *sighs*
hey there *smirks* and no one even mentions me.... yare yare *pulls hat down* Had work today, finished about an hour ago...delivering newspapers in dark valleys... yup ^_^ *smirks*
@Fera hi...
@kas: hey kas, how is it going? *smirks* But i meant as in, nobody really mentioned me while i was gone ^_^ *smirks*
Well, nobody mentioned me either.
I'm not good.
How are you feeling?
Goodbye, Fera.
*curls up*
@kas: Aww, i am really sorry to hear that *hugs* I am so sorry, i has other things to do... come on, come back please? :) and i am good, but really tied *smirks*
Don't be sorry, Fera.
You should probably sleep if you're tired.
@kas: still doing my biology homework on cancer, so it's ok :) and i do feel sorry for texting you, then not replying.
Well, homework is more important. Focus on that.
@kas: i find biology extremely easy. It's ok :) so, what's wrong, if you want to talk about it? :)
Nothing is wrong.
Nothing is right, either.
@kas: I know what you're feeling, just cheer up dude/girl *smirks*
You know what I'm feeling?
I doubt that, Fera.
@kas: i might not be experiencing it right now, but that does not mean that i am not prone to basic human emotions and life...
Fair enough.
I'm off to sleep. Good night!
@kas: You too, have a goodnight, just know that there's always someone who understands you :) *smirks* yare yare, have nice dreams *smiles*
You're reading the Ashes trilogy, Saoirse?
:P
Good luck -it's very messed-up.
(Hello.)
Liliana: Mmm... I'll have to pay you back when you return home.
Bethany: *she squeezes her hand back, cuddling her*
Claire: I hate normal clothes.
Lily: Are you a hundred percent sure?
Onwa: *smiles*
There's no need to repay me.
WP: *hands Onwa the check*
*kisses her gently*
Hack: Then why wear them?
Manuel: *nods*
I am.
Liliana: Consider it a reward.
Bethany: *she kisses her back* ... Portal?
Claire: I wanted to look normal?
Lily: Then lets do it. *she smiles*
Onwa: *grins*
Mmm..
*pays the bill, plus tip, and stands*
*nods, opening a portal to the beach*
Hack: Oh. Okay. Normals boring though.
Manuel: *nods, walking into the bathroom, holding the door for her*
Liliana: *she stands up, taking Onwa's hand*
Bethany: *she holds her close, starting to walk towards the portal*
Claire: I fully agree.
Lily: *she smiles, walking in, starting to get undressed*
Onwa: *takes her hand as well, standing up and walking out with her*
*smiles, kissing her cheek and walking with her, head on her shoulder*
Hack: *smiles*
Anyway, what brings the big bad vigilante girl back to Iceland?
Manuel: *blushes, closing and locking the door out of habit, moving to pull the shower cord before turning the shower on*
Liliana: *she smiles* Where are we going now?
Bethany: *she smiles, walking through the portal* *she lays down in the sand*
Claire: You do. You wanted to be a vigilante. I wondered if you wanted me to train you.
Lily: *she finishes undressing* It has been fifty years since I've had a shower... Luckily Phaestra's realm is clean.
Onwa: where would you like to go?
*smiles, snuggling down next to her*
Hack: R-really?
Manuel: Really?
*undress himself, putting his clothes in the wash basket*
Liliana: Could we walk around England?
Bethany: *she smiles* I love you so much.
Claire: Yep. I can't promise you won't get hurt, but still.
Lily: *she nods*
Onwa: That would be nice.
*smiles, pulling her close, walking with an arm around her waist*
I love you too Beth.
*smiles*
Hack: That'd be cool..
Manuel: *smiles, holding the shower cubicle door open for her*
Liliana: Mmm... *she holds Onwa close, her head on her shoulder*
Bethany: *she kisses her passionately*
Claire: Then lets do it. We just need somewhere big and empty.
Lily: *she steps inside, sighing happily at the water*
Onwa: *smiles contently*
*kisses her passionately back, moving to press against her, sighing happily*
Hack: I know about a warehouse? It's like, a mile or so away.
Manuel: *steps in after her, leaving the door open a crack, trying to give her some personal space, easier said than done for a man of his stature*
Liliana: Do you know anywhere?
Bethany: *she holds her close, using her tongue a little*
Claire: Sure. That'd be good.
Lily: *she hugs him tightly*
Onwa: Hmm. There are possibly a few parks around?
*grins, using tongue also, stroking her thigh*
Hack: You okay running or do you want a ride?
Manuel: *blushes brightly red, blinking in shock, breathing slightly shallower and holding onto her*
(Shes gonna make him faint xD)
Liliana: Good. *she smiles*
Bethany: *she sighs happily*
Claire: I'd like a ride.
Lily: This is nice. *she smiles*
(I have to go now. Goodbye.)
Onwa: *nods and starts heading towards one*
*smiles*
Mmm..
Hack: Okay.
*climbs back onto the bike, shifting forwards off the seat so she can sit down while he peddles stood up*
Manuel: *nods, smiling at her*
(*cuddles tightly* bye Sophi!)
Hi.
Headache...
Hello?
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please Somebody
Test my reality
Check if there's a weak spot
Clingin' to insanity
In hopes the world will ease up
Try to make it look like it's all somehow getting better
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good against the measure
Everyone started out a little insane
But we learn pretty quick how to fake it for the game
But some of you never learned to drop the act
So under that skin of yours: a heart attack
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on
And if I had the answers I'd have written them out
So I can tell you what to do and what this thing is about
But all I've ever learned comes second-hand
And I dare not preach what I don't understand
You and I; we share the same disease
Cover up; compromise what we grieve
I've let more than my share of revivals die
This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on
Pointing my fingers the problems still linger
They keep getting bigger and I hold the trigger
Running with fire, I live like a liar
Please somebody make a move
Somebody make a move (I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody make a move (The problems still linger)
Somebody make a move (I'm pointing my fingers)
Somebody
Somebody make a move
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I'll play along
Like I don't know what's going on
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on
Somebody make a move
Somebody make a move
Please somebody make a move
We all know
We all know what's going on
*curls up*
After I walked in there and said I'd like to test for depression, in front of all the people... they told me there's nothing they could do, I'd have to call.
And I called, and they gave me an appointment for Monday, and then they cancelled it, and told me I'd have to come in to book an appointment...
*curls up*
*leaves a hug for Kas*
I'm sorry... I've been out since morning and just got back. I'll try to be on later, but don't know if I can. My roommates might try and tell me to go to bed...
And I still have something I need to do in about ten minutes that lasts for about an hour...
Gosh, that's mean. Why can't they make up their minds??
*hugs Hope*
I missed you...
(Hello.)
Liliana: *she holds her close, walking with her*
Bethany: I love it here. I really do.
Claire: *she sits on the pedal, attempting to give him as much room as possible*
Lily: *she kisses his cheek gently* ... So worth waiting fifty years for.
(*cuddles Jaimie tightly back*)
Hello, Sophia.
I'm back, but only until the shower's available...
Also I had a thought. Since they cancelled the appointment before the time, as opposed to right when it's about to start, then that's actually a good thing.
Don't be afraid to go to the doctor's this time. Explain to them about the call and cancellation made, and they should be able to understand. I have a feeling they'll book the appointment the next time. After all, it would be on them that you had it cancelled and were made to come in to book a new appointment.
Hey, Hope. I'll go in later today, yeah... *hugs warmly*
Are you okay?
That's good to hear. *hugs back*
Yeah, I'm doing okay. A little tired from being out all day though, and my voice is sore, but I know it won't last, so yeah. I'm okay.
Other than the doctor thing, how are you?
(Hello, Tia. Hello, Tamami.)
Hi Sophia. :)
(I dislike politicians.)
@Hope Glad you're okay. I'm not.
@Sophia Me neither.
*nods to acknowledge Sophia's words*
I never really cared much for politics, though now that I'm basically an adult, maybe I should start..
*hugs Kas*
Anything you want to talk about? Or is it just one of those times where you don't feel right but don't want to say why?
I know that second question doesn't sound so great, but I didn't want to say anything assuming.
Because nothing is right.
I'm not going to get into uni.
I can't even get a job.
Even McDonald's, freaking McDonald's, won't hire me!
I'm drifting apart from everyone.
*sighs*
*resists the urge to delete the message*
...
You can get into uni as long as you try hard enough. The question is, do you really want to?
Same with getting a job. But look for something you'd enjoy. I like music and writing, so I want to focus more on those aspects if I ever want to do something. Some people like cooking, some like helping others. There are a lot of jobs if you think about what /you'd/ like to do.
And I know it's hard. Heck, I'm still working on fixing my life right now, but it's your move to make when it comes to drifting apart from everyone. You gotta take the steps in the path your life makes. Don't wait for something to come. /Look/ for it, /make/ the effort, and I have faith that you'll get where you want to go.
That said, it takes time for those steps to show progress. Don't expect something good to happen in the space of a day. Sometimes, life happens suddenly like that, but usually it takes time. So don't worry of you can't do anything now. Keep working hard on what you want, and someday, you'll see it start to happen.
*sighs*
I'm trying...
*hugs*
Good. That's all you need to do at this point. /KEEP/ trying and don't give up. Even if you feel like you have already, just take those small steps. It WILL get better. I believe it.
Okay...
I feel bad...
I don't know...
Everything's so...
*hugs Hope*
(I never went to university.)
Yeah, well at least you got a job.
I know what it's like to feel bad. Like, so bad that I can't do anything but feel ashamed of myself for being useless.
In fact, I just recently got over that feeling, so I can tell you it won't last. You just need to realize some things about yourself and your life, and how to push through it and see how to make it better. It may seem like it will always be as it is now, but one thought is all it could take to help you see differently.
And besides, what's life without the struggles? They help us get stronger and teach us how to be better. Don't you feel good when you finally solve a problem after struggling with it for so long? Problems take work and effort, but they go away in the end. So don't worry and keep fighting!
*smiles encouragingly*
(I got a job as a police officer, then went into the military at nineteen.)
Yeah, and honestly, I don't know if I want to go to uni either.
Maybe if I wanted to get a degree in creative writing or music(or even psychology, which has been an interest to me recently), but I think I'd do better without it for now.
*sighs and hugs*
And I'm sorry, but now I must get my shower over with.
I might not be able to come back though...
*hugs Kas and waves a good bye to Sophia*
Good bye, Hopey.
@Soph exactly.
Hi everyone!
Just done my practical exam ^.^
*collapses on her bed*
(*hums 'I see the light'*)
Onwa: *smiles, kissing her forehead*
Mmm.. my queen.
*smiles*
I love you.
Hack: *checks she's on the SEAT (not the pedal xD) and then sets off, pushing off with one foot and starting to pedal*
Manuel: *blushes more, smiling*
*kisses her forehead*
(Hi gemmy :)
Hey, Gem and Jai.
(Hi kas)
Hey Kassy, Hey Jai.
How are you?
How are you?
How are you?
(Oh goody. Sh*ts going down in the park tonight.)
*acknowledges Jaimie's comment*
(Not any sh*t that I'm involved in like, just sh*t near my house that involves loonies and testosterone fuels idiots.
I'm okay kas, you?)
Yeah, I realise that. I'm walking in town. Might swing by the park later. Not one filled with teenagers getting drunk, though.
(They aren't drunk, just angry. And rightly so.. although team H are kinda idiots for getting loonies involved.. *shrugs*
You didn't say how you are.)
Ah, I see.
I'm bad. I don't want to talk about it.
(Okay..)
I HAD FIVE HOURS OF ART TODAY
Not really here for a bit, have to do stuff and things, but will be hereish after that.
Hey, Star.
@Jai Do you have any plans for today or the weekend?
Right, I'm off to the park.
*sighs*
Well, that was pointless.
All the doors are shut.
Hey hey hey! What's going on, peeps? *adjusts hat* *grins*
@gem: change that name, please ^_^
@kas: hey there :)
Hello, Fera.
@kas: what did you do today? ^_^ *smirks*
Nothing.
@kas: Yes, you did ^_^ for example, you went to the doctor's right? :)
Little Mix. <3
I'm not changing it, Fera.
@gem: why? ^_^
I didn't. Had to go home.
Gem?
@kas: well, you still walked right? ^_^ but it's ok, would you like to talk about why you're depressed? ^_^
No, I would prefer to avoid dwelling on it.
@kas: Ok, wanna RP then? ^_^ *adjusts glasses*
No, thanks.
I'm about to get home. So I'll be distant.
@kas: ok *smirks* how's everyone else? :)
Doing other things, it seems.
Doing IT coursework and discussing whether we're goign to prom or not (I don't want to go).
Also, I didn't have any input to the conversation, and didn't want to disrupt the conversation by saying any unrelated babble.
Prom... sounds fun.
Is that sarcasm or not? *frowns*
@star: I see...why wouldn't you want to go to prom? ^_^
(Hello)
@chloe: hi there, missed you ^_^ How are you? *smirks*
(Hey ^^ I am cold, but good ^^
why does it rain so much in wales -_-
how art thou?)
(ahem
I dedicate to the sun
and CERN *fangirls*)
@Fera: . . . Why would I WANT to go?
I mean, I have to spend a whole lot of money on it, it involves DANCING (I'm not keen on that) BUYING A DRESS (not keen on that) DRINKING (well, that's only afterprom, but yeah, not keen on that), and the only people I'd want to see are my three friends . . . and I could just as easily got out for a meal with them. I'm fond of quite a few people in my year group, but my friends aren't, and C doesn't see why she would pay so much money to hang around with a load of bitches when she could spend no money and just hang around with us . . . which is another valid point.
Basically, in my eyes, the only pro of prom is that I get to see my friends, which can easily be arranged without the use of prom. Contrasting that to the multiple cons, it is, in my eyes, a no-brainer.
@Inky: Do you wnat me to give a scientific response to that? :P Because I might have to do some research, if so.
(I liked my prom
I remember we asked for 'crazy in love' to play because our English teacher loved beyonce
and I loved dancing)
(hey Star! if you want to ^^)
I think people really just want to go because it's part of the typical school experience and they'll feel left out if they don't.
As someone who's become accoustomed to deviating slightly from normal life experience and someone who often feels left out, I believe I am more immune to this than most people.
(I don't get why its a chemistry trip though, its more like a physics one_)
@Inky: I would, but I have IT coursework meh.
@Inky: :) Yeah.
See
I don't love dancing. XD
I'm not saying prom is a horrible idea. I think prom is a great idea, and I'm sure most people enjoy it. However, I am far away enough from 'most people' that my friends unquestioningly voted us the weirdest in our group, and, well, my friends. B has machetes and sleepwalks and can dream the future and is a hobbit and keeps drawing pentagrams on her work and once started doing an exorcism in Hospitsality and Catering. C hallucinates and has anxiety and has sadistic tendencies and has to duck to go down the stairs in B's house and sings Agadoo in the lunch queue with hand actions and can solve a RUbik's cude in under a minute.
Yeah
I am unqeustionably weirder than THEM.
Brb, dinner.
(okay Starry ^^)
(Can someone point out the difference between English LITERATURE and English LANGUAGE please?)
(literature...its like, studying techniques in a play or book or poem, or any piece of literature and their effects
language is more looking at the language, and the effect that has
I know it doesn't make sense, but it does in my mind)
(*blinks dumbly* Huh? Um..
*frowns*
Which one is the one with'creative writing'?)

English language is the study of how language works, in a full range of texts. You would look at language in books, the media, TV and speeches. There is also a focus on linguistics and the technical side to English, with things like grammar and syntax.
English lit is about the in depth study of works of literature, mainly novels, plays and poetry. It requires engaging with the wider contextual issues in the work and critical, analytical writing.
(I did creative writing in lit, but you can in language too
what I did for part of my coursework, I had to look at a range of texts and write a story based on one of them)
@gem: I am really fine, thank you very much *smirks* :)didn't you miss me? *adjusts hat*
@Star: My group is weird too, A has killed animals out of fun(doesn't do it anymore, but when he was younger he didn't get why he shouldn't have) and got several teachers fired, used to cut himself quite a lot. B-has cut himself a lot as well, is slightly schizophrenic(as in, he heard voices in his head from time to time and likes to refer to himself in third person many times)....i am probably the most normal out of the group, though depending on the situation and how i see things, i can be a lot crueler and weirder than those two ^_^ but i keep my calm and trying to be happy all the time :) *smirks*
@Jai: It's been said before, but yeah. Literature studies books adn plays and is the art of studying, um, 'authoring' is the wrong word but y'know, that. Language is more the technicaly study of how language works and how sentences are cracfted.
(*blinks quietly*
...
...
*frowns at my future*)
(*looks around* Gem's here?)
(why Jai?)
And as creative writing comes under authoring, yeah, that's lit.
(You can also author plays and poems in this context. That's why it's the wrong word. XD)
@Fera: I don't think hearing voices means you're schizophrenic . . . it just means you hallucinate. It's like how all tables are objects but not every object is a table. :)

@Jai: Ooh, in A level Lit I'm pretty sure you wouldn't do creative writing. However, you can possibly take a creative writing course at A level, although it might not be a full A level.
(Trying to figure out what A levels I'll be wanting.. I mean, all my friends pretty much know already and I'm sat here like '...' as my grades slowly drop along with my motivation..)
Correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't /done/ A level Lit.
@Jai: Omg that was me in year ten!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, all my friends have had it planned out since pretty much the end of year nine. :o Don't worry, though. :) You have plenty of time to decide. I'm still rethinking my decisions now.
(I've worked out that I'm veering away from doing anything I really love because doing it at school would ruin it. I have the feeling that's not the attitude I'm meant to be taking).
(Depends what each board requires
for my coursework this year, I had to read Tess of the Durbervilles and answer a question, and back it up with another book (I did the colour purple)
the other bit of coursework I had to do was write a short story that had been influenced by another text and write a commentary on it)

*frowns* How the HELL is this a helpful revision tip?!?!
'Sleep on your exam notes
— this will enable you to revise by osmosis. If you are going to do this , it's best not to learn anything until the night before the exam. Stick a revision guide under your pillow and when you wake the next day, you'll find the full contents of the book have been absorbed into your brain.')
(OSMOSIS IS ONLY THE DIFFUSION OF WATER!!!)
('If really stuck in the exam... play the earthquake game
— throw all your pens in the air and they'll form the name of a city about to be hit by an earthquake.')
@Inky: Ah kay.
When I went to various open days, they were all like "you'll study this book adn this book and this book, and then you'll do this essay and this essay and this essay' and I was like "yeah kay that sounds like hell thanks." :P
@Jai: *laughs* XD
That is NOT a helpful exam tip.
(I would still recommend reviewing things before you got o bed, because then you're subconsciously thinking about it as you sleep. However, you have to do otehr revision AS WELL! :P)
('Dress as a medieval knight and demand ale
— this is an old tradition, which states that anyone attending the examination in full knight's costume has the right to demand a tankard of ale. Unfortunately, you need to be carrying a sword and if you try this you'll be arrested and sent to prison.'
*sighs and quietly facepalms, groaning*)
