Problems, boyfriends and cereal humiliation

Ok, so hi to everyone who's reading this! You know you're amazing for bothering to read this, so I won't compliment you any further! Still, I think you're all great (and losers who have nothing better to do..... just kidding!)

So anyway, my life is not going amazingly at the moment, to say the least. Here are the top 5 reasons why:

5. I just got braces and I'll have to have them on for at least a year.

4. I'm fighting and arguing with my brother, Will ALL the time.

3. I feel like my singing is going down hill

2. I'm getting increasingly worried about my appearance

and no 1. I don't have a boyfriend!!!

And ok, I know what you're thinking. "Those are the smallest problems ever. I'm worrying about my mortgage, my troublesome teenage son, my very quiet young daughter and my elderly mother AND I havea normal job to keep, plus doing all the housework. AND Christmas is coming up."

Well, I apologise for moaning about my problems, and I feel sorry for you, obviously. But to me, having a boyfriend is very important. Trust me. I don't know how old you are, and I don't know what your situation is at the moment, but what I do know is that when you're a teenage girl, having a boyfriend is a very big deal. It's not just because it's a "symbol" or whatever, it's just it would be nice to know that someone out there, some boy actually thinks you're pretty and fun to be around. Thats what would be nice. Or to wake up in the morning and check your phone, and you have a cute message on it. Or to be in form on Valentine's Day, when the sixth formers are coming round with roses, and you're not expecting anything, and then you get a beautiful red rose, and everyone looks at you, jealously.

Anyways, moving on from a rather personal topic....... today was ok, i guess. As I said, I've just had my braces in, so they really hurt when I eat. So that meant I couldn't eat my amazingly nice chicken tikka sandwich. Or the chewing gum Uma offered me. Or the jelly tots Helen had. So that wasn't too good. But the rest of the day wasn't too bad. Nothing special, just everyday normal stuff.

Oh yeah! We had some major discussion in Maths about cereal. Now, I do realise that is extremely weird, but me and my friends are like that. Anyway, so me and Simrun and Aubrey and Helen and Poley were having a masive debate about which type of cereal is best. Now, I would definitely say Jordans Country Crisp (the strawberry one. It is the yummiest cereal ever, but we're only allowed it in the holidays in my house because it goes so quickly!) But Helen said Cocoa Pops are definitely the best, and Poley backed her up. (he would, they're going out) Aubrey backed me up, and Simrun said Honey Cheerios. So we're all not doing our simultaneous equations and arguing about which is nicer when suddenly this loud "ahem" comes from behind us. There is Miss Maurice, hands on hips, glaring at us. The entire class has been listening to our conversation for about 5 mins. I turned so red!

I have to sign off now, coz my mum's calling. I'll probably come back tomorrow and write more, as an "emotional outlet" as my IT teacher calls blogs. But I have ballet and piano tomorrow, so I'm not sure. Oh whoops, I'm rambling again, sorry!

Cya eventually!
