Seventeen

Okay, who was I kidding? I can't write a two part blog, my mind's already moved on.

Today is my 17th Birthday. I felt that deserved a blog post. Enjoy..


Seventeen things I've learnt in the past year:

1. Igloos are difficult to build.

2. Dubstep are not a band.

3. Doctor Who without David Tennant is possible.

4. My hair will not curl. After years of extra strength hairspray, trying to find the best curling irons, giving up on having ringlets and just using mousse and scrunching to get some sort of wave, I have accepted it. My hair is dead straight, and unless I do like prom, and spend two hours under one of those hair driers old ladies use, it's just not going to happen.

5. The time for panic is when you find yourself thinking in a foreign language- German Exchange of 2010.

6. I may not be able to cook, but I can bake. My kids are going to be fat.

7. No matter how far away he moves, you're never truly rid of Dave Hulme.

8. That people will bully you for having a butter tray, when you weren't even aware it was a weird thing.

9. Never leave a mobile phone in your pocket when you go on a roller coaster.

10. But don't worry so much if it's a Sony Ericsson W810i, in that case it will be still be working when the maintenance guys find it and return it to you.

11. That aeroplanes can't reverse (took me a while to get my head around this one).

12. The existence of Banter.

13. The existence of Church Banter.

14. Julius Caesar was kidnapped by pirates. They wanted to ransom him for 20 silver talents. Caesar laughed and demanded they ransom him for 50. His captors obeyed. Conclusion: Caesar was badman.

15. Microwave Popcorn- harder than it looks.

16. How to apply for a provisional driving licence and then stare at it wistfully for two and a half months until you're allowed to actually use it.

17. Things don't happen the way you planned them to, but it's more fun that way.
