A Blank Canvas: Just My Luck...
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007/05/just-my-luck.html
I swear I must be allergic to examinations. Last year, I was struck down by chicken pox during my french mocks (thank god it wasn't the real thing. I would have been really screwed if it was). I complained about flu-like symptons on the day (which my friends mocked, calling me a pansy and other far worse derogatory terms), and woke up the next day with itchy red scabs all over my body. This year, during my mocks, I had spontaneous neumothorax. Or something along those lines. Anyway, I've decided to put t...

A Blank Canvas: December 2006
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
What I hate most about Christmas is the parties. I have no complaints about attending any parties (after all, I'm getting free food and it's a break from the usual monotony of life), however over the past few years they have lost their excitement and appeal. I think it's the knowlege that my family must host an equal number of parties to the number we attend. This raises the question, is it worth it? Do I seriously enjoy them? At 12/30/2006 03:01:00 PM. Not Another Harry Potter Book. I've just found out.

A Blank Canvas: May 2007
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
I know I said I wouldn't post anymore until after the exams, but the temptation really was too great and there have been certain developments since the last post. The good news is that my body overcame the flu virus and I was in top-notch shape for my English literature and ICT exam. Both went fine (although I wrote twice as much as everyone else for the English paper, which is worrying me slightly.). For all those that commented, thanks for the good advice. Got us tickets to see Russell Howard. Last yea...

A Blank Canvas: 300
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007/04/300.html
I can't believe how poor this film is. You don't need to have read Sun Tzu. S "The Art of War", Machiavelli. S "Dell'arte della guerra" or even played on Rome Total War. To realise that the warefare in 300 had no tactics whatsoever. This is totally unsatisfactory, considering this is an adaptation of the Battle of Thermopylaie, when vastly out-numbered Spartan hopilites out-manouvred the Persians in one of the most famous last stands in history. This gets repetitive after awhile. Wait until you see what'...

A Blank Canvas: Getting Better?
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007/05/getting-better.html
I knew I wasn't on blistering form in terms of maths results, but I must have been on crack or somethin' when I took that test. I won't post the results since I don't want you all to think of me as some kind of mathematically-challenged, numerically-braindead cretin, so let's just use the euphemism "could have done better". But it's not all doom and gloom. Things are getting better. My English abilities have improved tenfold - I know the blog doesn't quite show this, but my English results beg to differ&...

A Blank Canvas: February 2007
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Or just a sad little person obsessed with pens? As I watch Torquer. Pick up a broken biro, scrutinise it, and then finally pocket it; I really can't decide. All I can be certain of is that the cold-hearted bastard will never lend me one, unless I. It for the day. I'm currently trying to persuade him to form a partnership with me, and dive into the confectionery market. Cans and chocolate bars are where the big money is Torq. There are bigger fish to fry! I keep telling him, but he's unsure. If we mov...

A Blank Canvas: Citizenship
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007/05/citizenship.html
What does it take to be a good citizen? An A* in GCSE Citizenship that's what. Last year, I was offered the chance to take this extra subject, which would increase my GCSE tally to 11 and give me a chance to add another shiny A* to my currently small collection (it'll be bolstered in a months time I hope). Here is a sample question from one of the citizenship past papers:. You have found a caterpillar in a sandwich you have bought. Who do you complain to? At 5/11/2007 05:47:00 PM. This subject Could be a...

A Blank Canvas: November 2006
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Into the Bowells of the NHS. Part 1. On Tuesday the 28th of November, I embarked on a journey filled with anguish and pain and despair. This journey was of course metaphoric; it was more an 'experience' (maybe involuntary confinement would be a better way to describe it) and it led me into the inner bowells of the England's failing National Health Service. A topic that has sparked much controversy over the past few years. So anyway, to the story. You're such a hypercondriac! Robin complained, before hitt...

A Blank Canvas: Le Francais
http://blankcanvasses.blogspot.com/2007/07/le-francais.html
Remember when I said I'd do a post for every subject I will be sitting this year? To start, I thought I'd do a post about French, a subject I did a year early and miraculously got an A* for. Next week some of my friends will go for their french orals - They'll experience the same dread, the same fear, the same pain I went through. And I won't be sympathetic - I'll laugh, and make inappropriate jokes, and I'll fill them with horror stories ( I'm not fucking with you! Sure, the language sounds damn sexy bu...
