The sun is missing. This makes me sad.

Recently, i have been wishing a lot that I could either be on holiday or drunk. Preferably both, as I hope will be the case when I go to the lake district with Jems in a few weeks time, hopefully with a few bottles of vodka hidden between our wetsuits and knickers (not while we are wearing them, obviously. That would be vair uncomfortable. And awkward to explain).

The reason I have been wishing for one of these two things is that they are both nice ways to escape your situation and forget about shit. I would like to do this very much at the moment. My family are driving me insane in all their special, different ways, and I am sick of turning up to school where I waste away any lessons I actually have either chatting to friends about how much we wish we weren't in school, or staring into space, wishing I wasn't in school. When I'm at home I hole up in my room to escape hearing about how useless/selfish/irresponsible/pathetic I am (courtesy of my dad, my dad, my mum and my sister, in that order. Provoked mainly by me forgetting to empty the dishwasher) and as much as I have always defended the mess in my room, im beginning to feel like the walls are closing in on me. I have not done any homework in over 5 weeks. I can tell teachers no longer believe my excuses, and I don't care. I should. But I don't. I smile at the polite disbelief and downright scorn (depends on the teacher) in their eyes, and make my excuses stupider and stupider for my own amusement. Meh. I'll try harder in September, but now, despite what the shitty English weather is trying to tell us, it is summer... we do not belong in school like caged animals (caged animals with uniforms and copies of Othello.)

We need sunloungers and swimming pools. We need bottles of something flourescent and alcoholic, with a little umbrella in it. We need large inflatable animals, rocket ice lollies from one stop, bottles of 'tinted mousturiser' (my arse) and all those other stupid, strange-looking and vaugely ridiculous things you only buy in the summer.

Anyway. I think you'll all agree, we need a holiday!
