1. Since my parents disapprove me of buying UGGs because they are expensive (and would trying to persuade them they can keep me warm and I'm willing to pay for them myself), they may approve of me buying these boots! I love them! Only problem is that the biggest size is 8 and I'm a size 9. Would it be a good idea for me to squeeze into them? My Nikes are size 8 and I had them for six years. They still fit me.

2. So I'm doing a documentary at college with a group on illuminati, Satanic messages in songs, backmasked songs and 2Pac being alive. Not my ideas but they are the group leader's. I did question him on proving if 2Pac's really alive and asked him to watch/listen to 'Stairway To Heaven' being played backwards on YouTube.

3. My mum labels me 'boring' if I'm not hip or trendy like 'everybody else' or not like Uncle Pedge's daughters. However yesterday was different it was on my musical tastes. This all started from watching Come Dine With Me with a contestant who's a veggie and plays the ukulele and my mum saying: 'Boring! Boring!'

1. I got A Night At The Opera today! Today! I'm listening to it right now. It's a Queen album. I'm expecting my Pink Floyd album, Atom Heart Mother next week.

2. I downloaded Freddie Mercury's solo album, Mr. Bad Guy. I am in love with the tracks especially 'Made In Heaven' and 'Mr. Bad Guy'. I'm disappointed that he didn't have more solo albums during the early years of Queen though.

3. I'm not watching the Mad Men DVD in order, but I realised that Pete Campbell is a complete prick. I hate him so much. Joan Holloway isn't too bad but I have a feeling that she envies Peggy... Don Draper? Handsome man. I was like 'not again' when I saw him with Midge. Betty should dump him... in season 3.

These days BriWi is playing gossip columnist; here's an extract from Monday's entry on his blog:

Did you watch the Video Music Awards last night? The old cliché question did occur to me -- what would someone assume about our world if they landed at Radio City last night from another world? From Kanye's outburst to the blood-stained Lady GaGa... what a night.

By that he means this:


And Lady GaGa going Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga!

Writers would usually do their planning and write. I done that but I made a story calendar for my story as it's a legal thriller. Although it hasn't been stated so far in the prologue the setting is 2004. When I usually write any stories I would set them a few years back which I feel comfortable with.

Anyway, so far the draft of the prologue is finished. I included a minor character called Heather, who I may consider giving her a few appearances in the chapters coming up. I feel like she has a place in the story and plus it'll be fun writing her dialogue. I created her before Sunday and on that day I watched a repeat of Keeping Up Appearances on BBC One where's a character called Hyncinth who is a complete snob. Reminds me of Heather. So Heather stays and her husband too.

Anyway, I asked for my results for my maths exam yesterday. I didn't mention it in the last post. I got a C. Considering that's an average, I know where I got wrong and that's the last questions. I enjoyed doing percentages but maybe I got something mixed up along the lines. Also, I'm not too sure if I'm doing maths this year because it wasn't included in my new timetable. I still get Tuesdays off!

For the first time this week, I did not watch last night's Big Brother and I didn't care who got booted off (it was Marcus for the curious). Ok, so I saw a few bits but I didn't sit down to watch all of it. Somehow that shitty program will end next year. Why not this year? It was boring and there was a lack of media coverage in the papers about it anyway.

However, Big Brother still manages to be making money though...

I am not keen on X Factor. So I won't be watching it for curiousity later...

I'll stick to writing and listening to my iPod for now. Oh and not forgetting, doing my coursework too!

Yesterday a long interesting adventure with Miss B and Henry to Bond Street, Marylebone (don't make me say it because I say the place wrong anyway; also on the high street we went past past a man who was probably drinking heavily the night before and simply passed out) and Regent's Park. We wanted to go down to St. John's Wood but we were lost in Regent's Park, and the noticeboard directions were confusing to follow anyway. So next time.

Got home (my brother came around soon after). Did the same things. Went on the laptop and watched the third season of Mad Men on YouTube.

My dad notices that I have been watching TV on the computer lately since it's better than watching the TV downstairs because my dad would usually watch his favourite programmes, etc. I watch other programmes on the internet like Supernanny or Eastenders. tbh, I think I've grown out of TV; I'm going out more by travelling on the train and taking photos, I guess I don't need to watch TV like I use to religiously.

F-List? What do you think of TV? Watch it or give it a miss?

I have been imagining of the type of questions I'll ask Jon Hamm when I interview him, which will probably never happen ever in my life... Or could it? If I ever become a successful journalist I would love to interview famous people like musicians and actors. I think they have an interesting life to tell everyone unlike stupid BB rejects and WAG wannabes.

I wish that politicans and MPs stop slagging off media by saying it's a 'Mickey Mouse course' because without media there won't be the news, newspapers or magazines and many other nice media-related stuff like advertising. My mum has also jumped on the bandwagon too; this morning she also referred to my media studies as a 'Mickey Mouse course'. Besides I did very well in that subject and got a very good grade overall.

Somehow I envy the A-level students. Not in a bad way because I'm proud that they achieved high. Usually young adults are critised heavily by the media for having bad role models and causing trouble which isn't true as it only happens to some. Using 'most' in something negative is highly unfair.

I'm looking forward to enrolling and actually going back to college. I miss studying so much!

I didn't make this GIF. It's so right-click-and-save!



1. So it's Mad Men Mania. Season 3 kicked off last night on AMC (I know this because of the heavy doses of the show on ONTD and the internets). I believe that Don Draper is the most attractive character in the show, however he has his weakenesses which are being faithful to Betty. I don't like the way he treats her. Don cheats on Betty, who is left at home to look after the kids and is probably feeling lonely.

Don't get me wrong, Don is an attractive character (even in real life too; Jon Hamm likes to relax), but maybe he should be more honest about himself and make Betty happy. I'm not an agoncy aunt when it comes to mid-life character crisis's lol.

2. I've been watching Big Brother. I fucking hate Bea. At first when Noirin was in, I thought I'll like Bea because she speaks her mind. The short weeks came, then she suddenly converted into this whining, arrogant, bitchy person. She's such a drama queen, and she knows this. I hope that Bea is up for eviction this week. Also I was never keen on Marcus although I'm glad that he didn't leave on Friday.

My dad doesn't understand the whole Big Brother thing and would complain about my mum and I discussing it on the dinner table.

3. I did some freewriting the other night. I am proud of how it came out; I'm considering changing some bits so it could be the opening paragraph in my prologue. I have never been inside Dallas- Fort Worth International airport in my life but I could guess what an environment like an airport would be like anyway. Also I decorated my orange notebook by sticking on paperclips by using PVA glue. It looks nice lol.

4. I'm thinking of going to Ikea today. The one in Wembley. Hopefully I won't feel dizzy or have a headache.

1. My aunt's birthday party (it wasn't much of a party, tbh) was alright. My mum brought so much food for my aunt, even a cake that one of my mum's friends baked (the same person who baked my birthday cake). I had around three slices so far; one at my aunt's house and two at home. You know what my favourite thing about cakes are? The icing! Not too much of it though, extremely sugary.

2. My guitar book arrived today and so did my mum's book. Now that I got a guitar pick, I can get myself started on learning how to play the guitar. Also, I started reading The Colour Of Law yesterday. I haven't read a good book for ages. And I probably said this almost all the time now, but the Pink Floyd book is the best. And, I enjoy flicking through pages of King Of Torts too; that book is my John Grisham book so far!

3. I haven't said this before but I enjoy watching Ugly Betty. My favourite characters are Betty, Justin, Wilhelmina and Marc. I used to watch it before but somehow I started getting really into it recently. Thank goodness it's on right after Big Brother, which I have been getting into again. Hoorah!

4. I am writing my story these days. My notebook is filled with colourful post-it notes almost like a rainbow, the more and merrier that's what I say. They are mainly of ideas and quotes to put in the story. So far I have changed the first chapter and I am happening to change chapter plannings as well to make the plot exciting and avoid repetition like what I'm doing now lol.
