h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I only write these things when I'm annoyed about something. The reason I'm writing this is because that thought only just occured to me and as far as I'm concerned that's incredibly annoying.
Writing things down in an ostensibly public domain (even though you know that it's going to be read by at most five people) is why the internet was invented. You can say 'Phew I got that off my chest and into the public domain' while happily ignoring the fact that only one close friend who is going to sympathise (well, hopefully) with your plight and some people who you are as likely to meet as they are to read your journal.
Otherwise there isn't too much to be annoyed about at the moment, apart from the usual. And the usual has now been the usual for long enough to make it incredibly dull, monotonous etc. to the point where you wish you'd taken an Advanced Higher Boredom. Oh, and it's only a fortnight to the English exam and I'm starting to transfer the blame for my lack of revision to Jane Austen for making 'Emma' quite so long.
On the positive side I've come up with some better ideas for my epitaph. Previously if I died feeling miserable, I would have 'Hah! Told you so!' on my headstone and if I died happy, I'd have 'Hah! Told you so!' too. Now I've decided that no matter what happens I'm going to have 'Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden' as it's a quote from Radiohead (saves me thinking up anything original as that just causes trouble) and also it requires a degree of thinking to get the joke while putting a positive spin on death. Also, I'll be able to see from my new resting place if Thom Yorke is spinning in his grave...

My personal advice is ditch 'Emma' and go for Shakespeare the plays are shorter, faster to read (you can easily get through a whole one in a day, if you really put your mind to it), and quotes are easy to pick out, as most of the themes are pretty dang obvious (sorry, Mr Shakespeare, not to devalue your work, but it's true...)

And try to maintain that healthy dose of apathy towards the Advanced Higher exams... Worrying over them takes too much time and effort

Have fun,
