Magic
Today up club Kevin taught us some magic tricks, and this got me thinking of a program I watched on T.V last night, It was about Harry Houdini. Here are a few facts that I found about Houdini last night.1) Houdini was not in fact born is the USA, he was born in Budapest Hungary.2) Houdini was born Erich weiss. He took on the name Houdini from a french magician, Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin who influenced him.3)Houdini then wrote a book exposing the magicians methods. Which was called The unmasking of Robert-Houdin.4)Houdini did not die whilest performing the water torture trick, in fact he died of a ruptured appendix.5)Harry Houdini died on the 31st of october which is halloween.
Rest in peace Jess
Well for those who do not know who jess is. Jess is my aunts dog's, Jess mistriously became ill after she was mated. It was later discovered that she had kidney failure. They tried everything they could to keep her alive but sadly they had to put her down the other day. It has got me thinking how attached we get to animals, it is because of how pure they are, they don't judge you, they listen to what you have to say and comfort you when you are down. So i would just like to say rest in peace jess.
Cycle London
The wind is in my hair, my legs are feeling the burn, but yet i am enjoying the ride. Today me, thomas and craig decided to have a bike ride to london bridge. We drove in the roads, at times i found this quite frightening and had to go on the paths, mainly because Thomas would take a right turn without letting us know, and craig kepted driving in the middle of the road. However we had a great day and relaxed in south bank near the fountains. It also helped me burn my bacon sandwich off which i had just eaten before we left.
Is a blog really a diary?
Some have said that a blog is like a diary, what you write is for yourself and if others read it then thats a bonus. However i feel as if i can not really express myself on a blog. As i know that other people are reading it. This means that i can not write what is going on in my life. I mean i have some problems that i would love to just write down so i can get them off my chest .However some of them are things that i do not really wish to at this moment share with others. So i am going to share the problems i don't mind if others read.
I feel as if i try too hard to be noticed and some times i feel whats the point because nobody recongizes me. For example i have been at my 6th form of a whole year and the head teacher doesnt even know my name, i mean she doesnt even remember i do drama and she goes on about our drama group all the time. Sometimes i feel as if i don't have a purpose. Don't get me wrong i love life and i don't want to come across depressed or anything because i am not it just certain things just get me down.
Well now thats off my chest i can move on and get on with my life. LOL. I sound like an old woman
Anybody want to buy a baby!
SOLD and it goes to the man in a suit. Hold on a minute this is a baby. A gangster has been arrested for selling babies to childless couples and boasting about how he drugged them to sumggle them over. He was charging over £60,000 for the baby and fake passport. It is terrible how someone can do this plus it is sad to think that couples can get so desperate for a child, that they take this opition to get the family member they dream of. Anybody can have their own child, yet not anybody can adopt. Should this be fair.
Not a girly girl
My little cousin Ellie came over today to see the baby and i was dragged into sticking fake nails on her fingers. Me not being very girly found this very dificult. Double sided tape is hard to get off silly little bits of paper and Ellie was getting impatient. It took me about 15 minutes to complete. I then realized i had put all of the nails on up side down. Everybody was laughing, they said Ellie could have put the nails on better my her self and shes only 6. She then took all of the nails off and walked away leaving me sitting there wondering how to get back the last 15 minutes of my life. I have never been very girly, growing up when all of the other girls had barbies i had power rangers. Why would any body want to be girly any way i don't get it. I have always loved being different but today i just felt silly not knowing how to stick fake nails on. It doesn't seem the hardest job in the world but believe me when i say it is very hard indeed. Lol.
Saying Goodbye and Good luck
Goodbye is always the hardest thing. Well this saying is true. I mean if you have bonded with someone when it is time for them to leave it is always going to be emotional. The other day I asked myself why do we make the effort to talk and get attached to people, when we know that they are, at some point going to go their separate ways. Well the answer I came up with is, it is better to have known and said goodbye then not have known at all. So this post is basically to say goodbye to Wayne, John, Gordon, Kate and Ollie, it has been great getting to know you all and you will be missed. I wish you all the luck with the future. Bye for now keeley xxx

Salvation Army
recently I stated my belief in God and Christianity. Well today I went to church. It was the first time I have been to church in a long while. I arrived at 10:30 and sat next to Thomas and Sue. Throughout the whole service I asked my self why am I here. I don't think I got a clear answer but I will state what I came up with.
1)To explore the Christian religion.
2)To understand why others believe in god and why I do too.
3)And finally to pray.
I really enjoyed it and had some fun singing. I also had some nice conversations with some of the people there. Myself, Thomas and Gordon had a discussion about how far you can go in one directions before coming to an end. Nobody knew and this seemed to frighten Gordon. Don't worry too much Gordon one day someone is bound to answer that question. However Gordon had to bring up the question we have been trying to solve for weeks now, that being what was jesus's dog called (if he had one) Wendy seemed very interested with the question and I supose she will come up with some possible answers by next Sunday.
Remember those who died in the 7/7 bombings
Today we remember those who lost their lives last year in the 7/7 bombings. It is very sad to think that human beings can actually kill other human beings and think that this is a good deed. I remember last year when it happened i was sitting at home watching T.V. When my programme got interrupted and it said there had been an explosion on the underground. At first not stating if it was a terroist attack or not, but deep down we new that it was. It is deverstating to think that inocent people died for no real purpose. Today we need to think of those people's families and friends. We also need to think of how has a nation we got through this bad time and yet we will never forget it.
Stand up for your rights!!
Our 6th form has non school uniform. however they have a sexist policy which allows female students to wear short skirts and three quarter lenghts (we were banded from wearing shorts firday because a certain person came in with mini shorts and no it wasnt me) but doesn't allow male students to wear shorts or three quarter lengthns. The boys have been moaning for a while now but for the last couple of days it has been boiling and unbareable. So my brother jim(yes jim) decided he was going to rebal against this and come in, in three quarter lenghts. I told him that it was a great idea but you need to get more of the boys involved other wise you will not get what you want. So the day of the rebelion was today and i felt left out so i wore my shorter lenghts.(which the head of 6th form classed as shorts but THEY ARE NOT.)So i could feel apart of it. We had a good out come about 9 boys wore shorts or three quarter lenghts. I spoke to the head of 6th form after registration and she told me that even though she disagrees with boys showing off their legs she will allow them to do so because the weather is hot. So we got the result we were looking for plus i got us allowed to wear shorts again as long as they are not inapropriately short. If you want to bring about change you need to do it in numbers.
Thomas has got me into God
I mean I have always believed that there is a being looking down on us controlling to a certain extent what we do and I have also always believed that Jesus was a great man who performed miracles to people who needed them. However there have been parts of the Christian religion that I don't really believe in, but I have realized from what Thomas said to me the other day. You don't have to take everything the bibles says to be true I mean it was written hundreds of years ago and some stuff doesn't really fit into how society functions today. So it has made me realizes that it is ok to say that I disagree with certain stuff like how the world was created. But yet still be religious and think about the stuff I do agree with. Nick if you are reading this I no you will now say there is no reason why I can't come church and you right. However I think the real reason why I don't come church isn't because I don't believe in God because deep down I always have I think it is how people round be will react. I mean my family are not really religious and they all ready think I am weird enough already and I no this is not a good enough reason not to follow something you believe in. I mean I have been arguing that the voting age should be lowered to give people more rights and I haven't been using my own rights to be an individual I feel so hypercritical. But at least I have realized my mistakes and can now act how I feel.
Star gaze
Last night at about 10:45pm I realized that it was boiling so I decided to go out side and lay on my new garden chairs. Whilst relaxing I could hear my phone ringing from the kitchen so I got up and run to answer it and it was Thomas. He told me that he could hear me from the garden and wanted a chat. So we proceeded to talk, him hanging out of his window and me laying on my chair. Our chat lasted about 45 minutes then we decided that we were being to loud, for it was about 11:30 at night. So, I proceeded to lay out in the garden and I looked up into the atmosphere at the 7 stars I could see and realized that we really do need to thing about global warming and climate change because sooner or later it is going to destroy our atmosphere. When me and Thomas started talking he rang me because I interrupted him praying, then he went on to tell me how it was the anniversary of when we went with club to protest about make poverty history in Edinburgh. We then realized that we had still been trying to make that happen even today by the fact that we spoke about it in a documentary we made with some man. LOL I can't remember his name. We also talked about the fact that the anniversary of the 7/7 bombing is coming up and how we want to remember those who died. I left thomas hanging out of his window making strange restures at me at about 12pm and went to bed.
