About Me

I'm Alice, and I enjoy things that fifteen year olds really shouldn't. Whilst they're all out getting pissed, I like tea and politics and walking. Especially to lakes. Lakes are peaceful.

Finally finished reading that darned Harry Potter book.

yay!

It took me a suprisingly long time to read this book as it only took me a day each to read 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. It took me about a day and a bit. If you haven't already read it, which undoubtedly most people have, you should. Basically, the bad guy dies and the good guy lives happily ever after, a common occurence in such childrens books. Because that's what they are. The Harry Potter series is not a gritty tale for adults and teenagers alike, filled with disastrous spells and magic broomsticks, it's a story about a magic school for children.

I will now attempt to sum up the book using a line from the series' most undesirable character, Peeves.
"We did it, we bashed them, we Potter's the one
And Voldy's gone mouldy so now let's have fun!"

I think Peeves is the most literate out of the whole cast, his talking style is very Dr Zeuss.
ha. I love Peeves. Here's a picture.

the curious cases of online shopping.

URGH!
Don't you ACTUALLY hate online shopping? I felt my eyes burning into New Looks website (voluntarily) because they didn't have a cheaper version of this top I want from Topshop which is like forty quid. Well they do have it, but it's not long-sleeved and it looks horrifically UN-flattering, one of those tops that could make Kate Moss look fat.

Okay, well it wouldn't.

I think we should all wear uniforms decided by the government because then they couldn't charge £18 for a knock off top.

Dickheads.

I also made the mistake of calling Raoul Moat "Rafael". Must've looked like a RIGHT idiot in one-stop. I can imagine they get quite a lot of idiots in one-stop. Who shops there? It's SO terrible. It didn't even have harry potter collectable cards.
