   Well well
I was supposed to be in for a history revision class today - but I can't find it anywhere...so I'm stuck with five days to revise Weimar Germany, Hitler's foreign policy, O'Neill's Northern Ireland reforms and the prelude to Direct Rule. Ah yes, my people's history is a dull and grim thing.

Next year, if I get into sixth form, I want to do History. We do the French Revolution! I love that topic- you're looking at the postings of a true history/Doctor Who geek.

Well well. What to talk about?

I got Bizenghast! It's alright, and the art is brilliant: but the storyline appears a little too rushed in some places. I mean, at one point DInah gets sucked into a tree, becomes some sort of forest spirit, complete with a bark skirt and cobweb wings and converses with a wild boy called Hides - then in the next panal changes back without explanation. Y'see? And at the start, Dinah's signiture is on a contract which means she has to unlock various ghouls and ghosts: why? She didn't sign it herself. Maybe it's one of those continual plots that unveils itself throughout the series - sort of like a Tim Burton version of Harry Potter's storytelling vein.

"Vhere? Vhere?"

I want to ask: am I a good writer? I mean, can I make my meaning pretty clear in the written form? This is something critical to what I want to be, so I need to ask impartial opinions on this subject. Do I draw people on, wanting to read more?
Well, just be honest.

I don't know who's reading this that lives in the United Kingdom, but the government is annoying me so. The Home Office is degenerate: I mean, there was a case of a Ugandan woman who was raped because her government wanted information about her father. She managed to seek asylum here, but now she faces being deported back. While accepting that rape was a hidious crime, the Home Office declares that it can't see why her government would find any further interest if she goes back.
This girl is a link to her father. At 18 year old she is incredibly vulnerable. It is obvious that her father is of interest to the government (for reasons that I don't know). If the government had wanted information on him then, the chances are they would still want it. Their "interest" in her would continue.

It all makes me so mad. I'm sorry for getting all serious and political there, but I needed to vent.

I'll post later, maybe, so ciao ciao for now.
