My my, how long it has been since I actually wrote something on here! I am a bad person.
I did actually write two things to put on here, but neither were very good or in any way interesting, so none of that here. Instead, I'd like to give you a quick update of things and then talk about a conversation a few of us had yesterday.
First of all, it snowed! Snow actually fell! This was on Wednesday 8th, and it was brilliant! I had three snowball fights, including one with a load of kids I don't know, and made a snowman called Reginald.
Secondly I've had most of my mock results back, with a large smattering of A*'s, so I'm very pleased indeed.
I've decided to stay on for 6th form, and had a trip behind enemy lines into Coopers. Eesh!
And finally, before launching myself into possibly the most stupid monologue ever, I just had a big mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows melting in it and more chocolate on the side, and it was delicious.
Now, this issue was raised in an English cover lesson when it was discovered that one of the thesauruses did not have a 'g' section. No 'g' section, you say? No, no 'g' section. The 'g' section was completely missing, but there was nothing wrong with the spine, indicating that it had been made like that. What, we pondered, would the world be like with no letter 'g'?
I hope you figure out how our train of thoughts was rolling, or you just won't get this.
One problem that one girl there instantly faced was that there would be no G-strings, nor any thongs, and the colour green would have a different name, or just not exist at all. No G in the musical scale would really fluff it up, but with no 'g' Mr Glinka could never have cursed the world with his damned 'Russlan und Ludmilla' overture. Everyone would talk like Essex girls, doin' their shoppin' and workin' and stuff. There would be no shag rugs, no shaggy dog stories and no shagging full stop! We would have no genitals, so there would be no virgins, and no G spots.
A severe lack of Greek tragedies would have meant that Romeo and Juliet was never written, while 'The League of Gentlemen' would never have graced our screens. A large portion of the English language would be missing because of the Germanic link, but there would be no languages at all anyway! England would lose a letter (and always lose the football), and the world would forfeit grapes and grapefruits. With no grocers there could be no groceries, and there being no galleons or guns might affect world history a little.
Possibly worst or all: a few of the Monty Python cast would have gone mysteriously missing. No 'Holy Grail' and no 'Meaning of Life', but at least we would still have 'Life of Brian'. But someone else would have to be Brian, as Graham Chapman would be waylaid under a different name.
Harry Potter would be fine, but JK Rowling might have a bit of trouble. Lord of the Rings would hit a rock and become what sounds like an advert for a superior washing machine: Lord of the Rinse. Kirk Douglas could never have played the Spartacus, and Metro Goldwyn Mayer may never have produced all those wonderful musicals with Judy Garland in. Frances Gump would have had no more luck.
We would have no guts, no haemoglobin and no legs, and there would be no gravity to hold us onto the non-existant ground; we would be hollow, legless, bleedin' bein's floatin' in space. Then we would all quickly explode, becuse there would be no gases!
There would be no God, nor could the Big Bang have taken place, so nothing would exist at all, especially not the Romans, who invented the letter in the first place.
So, you see, 'g' is a very important letter, and I wouldn't be exaggerating too much if I said that the survival of mankind depends on its continued existence.
It was a cover lesson, cut me some slack!
Happy new year, blah blah blah, loud fireworks, hope you're well.
I'm too tired for formalities.
Argh! I'm knackered! This is what happens when you stay awake until 5 in the morning kids, so don't do it. I wasn't even trying, but that didn't stop my mind from being conscious.
Insomnia. It hurts.
