My Brother, Part One

So today at lunch, my brother was getting a bit annoyed (for a change). This time it was because dad hesitated EVER SO SLIGHTLY before agreeing to drive him to school for some school fete thing (his school is about a 40 minute drive away).

Being the wonderful sister that I am, I offered to drive him myself (even though he greeted me on entering the kitchen with "What are you WEARING!?")
"NO I DON'T WANT TO GO" *storms off upstairs*

I shrug and go back to my room to continue my revision. About twenty minutes later, I hear a knock on my door.
"Phoebe..."
"Yes Andrew?"
"Do you want to drive me to school now?"
I sigh. We leave. 40 minutes later we are at roughly the least exciting school fete ever. We buy cheap tasting burgers for £2 each, then a peanut butter cookie.
Andrew chats to some friends. A teacher comes and asks me how I'm doing at 6th form. (I used to go to that school a few years ago.)

Half an hour after we arrive... "I'm bored now, can we go home?"

40 minutes later we're home, and Andrew vanishes in a puff of smoke to go play X-box. If he thanked me, I didn't hear.

About an hour later, Dad's finished cooking dinner.
Andrew spends the entire meal making snide comments about me being a fussy eater (guess who complained about the meal! I'll give you a hint, not me).

What a charming young man my brother is. Not.

Things I Am Angry At Today

Presenters of TV shows like Brainiac assuming all their viewers are straight men. (Or people of other genders who also happen to like women like women but I doubt they considered that.) "HEY LOOK WOMEN IN THEIR UNDERWEAR CAN YOU SEE THEM WE ALL LIKE WOMEN IN THEIR UNDERWEAR DON'T WE!" No, Richard Hammond, we do not all like ladies in their underwear. I will give you a couple of examples of people who probably don't care about seeing OMG LADIES IN THEIR UNDERWEAR! Straight women! Gay men! Many other people!

Item two on my list of things that are annoying me today. The new equalities minister, Theresa May. Don't get me wrong, it is great that there are women getting into the cabinet. But is someone with a voting record of going against equal rights for LGBT people, I don't think she is reaaaally the right person to be EQUALITIES MINISTER.

Number three. Small children. Specifically, the ones at my college. Walking from one class to the next is the exact opposite of fun where there are twenty bazzilion kids running past yelling homophobic/sexist/just plain sweary insults at each other.
AAAAAAGH. Too many of them! Plus I sometimes dress super weird and I am a GIRL with SHORT HAIR OH NO so I can pretty much guarantee that these will be aimed at me from time to time. Maybe I should just learn to teleport, that would make everything so much easier!

Numero quatro: revision. Uuuuuuugh. So. Much. Revision. I gave myself this evening off, but I pretty much am revising every day from now till the end of June, and I am super lazy so this sucks. I need to get some motivation from somewhere... does anybody have some I can borrow? You can have it back at the end of June, I promise!

That is it for things that are annoying me at the moment! Maybe there will be more soon! Who knows!
