Before I start going on about my own pointless little life (at the moment) I'd just like to - in view of recent events - say that I am praying that the situation in America at the moment will turn out alright. Not only there, but in Iraq, Israel and Palestine, Niger, the Sudan and every country in the world that is suffering at the moment. I am becoming more and more aware of the plight we are finding ourselves in; I know that it has almost always been this way for human beings but the thought that there is still nothing we can do about it is a bit disheartening.
Anyway, onto a lighter subject. How is everyone? I've just started my new college, which is great for a number of reasons.
#1: I don't have to do maths anymore!
#2: I can wear whatever I want and be whoever I want to be.
#3: Finally, I get a chance to meet new people!
It's all good. I'm currently studying: History, Politics, Geography, Film Studies and Communication Studies. I already have a lot of work to do, but I don't mind because I am determined to succeed in life. Sometimes I wish that time would speed up so I could go to the places I want to go and do the things I want to do sooner, but I know it's not wise to wish your life away.

I believe I am finally leaving my Harry Potter stage. It wasn't as if I was obsessed or anything, mostly I think it was just boredom. But, I'm sure many of you can sympathise with me on this point, I was just so darn bored so it became habit to sail through all the Harry Potter websites. I admit I do like the books (and sometimes the films depending on what mood I'm in) but it was getting a bit sad the amount of time I was spending mooning over Professor Snape aka Alan Rickman.
Having said that, I do believe I have found my next new preoccupier: Lost. Living in England means that you guys have already seen the climax to the series while I've only just seen Episode 7 (The Moth, in case any of you were wondering)and am already addicted to it. Am I right in my thoughts that Season 2 premiers in America on September 21st? My favourite characters are Charlie and Locke, presently.
I don't know why, but I've always been one of those people who can sympathise with drug addicts or alcoholics. Maybe in my past life I was one myself. For instance, Karl in Neighbours (does anyone else watch that?) was a bit of an alcoholic for a while and I always felt more for him then than I have done since. I have often thought that I am rather sadistic (I love to see characters destroy themselves: Michael in The Godfather Trilogy is one of my personal favourites) but is this stretching the limit a bit? I don't want to become an alcoholic or drug addict. Maybe my profession when I'm older should be in rehab.
