'To take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die, to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,'
(Hamlet, Act Three, Scene One)
Is that not just beautiful?

NARCASSISTS UNITE!!
Does anybody else hate having to fill out application forms or personal statements for stuff? You know, the bit when they say 'now brag'. I can't do it, for the life of me, I always sound like some stuck up, narcassistic cow and I hate it. How on earth do they intend us to write personal statements for university?? >:(
What's worse is when they say 'continue on a separate sheet if necessary' because they've only provided a tiny space, when I can't even fill that in because I've never actually done anything. >:(
I'm never going to get into uni' am I? How do you do it? Anybody??
I was going to write a nice complainy rant, but I've got nice loud playing and I'm singing along (badly) and it's hard to be angry when singing very loudly and out of tune :D

IN NO WAY OBSESSED

It is almost quite worrying... oh well!
Just sing along!!

MAY WE NEVER FORGET THEM
'As our boat touched sand, and the ramp went down, I became a visitor to hell'
(Pvt. Charles Neighbor)
Today is the anniversary of D-Day. The liberation of mainland Europe from Nazi control in 1944 claimed over 10,000 casualties, with over 4000 deaths.
May 1944 had been chosen at the conference in Washington in May 1943 as the time for the invasion. Difficulties in assembling landing craft forced a postponement until June, but June 5 was fixed as the unalterable date by Eisenhower on May 17. As the day approached and troops began to embark for the crossing, bad weather set in, threatening dangerous landing conditions. After tense debate, Eisenhower and his subordinates decided on a 24-hour delay, requiring the recall of some ships already at sea. Eventually, on the morning of June 5, Eisenhower, assured by chief meteorologist James Martin Stagg of a break in the weather, announced, “O.K. We'll go.” Within hours an armada of 3,000 landing craft, 2,500 other ships, and 500 naval vessels—escorts and bombardment ships—began to leave English ports. That night 822 aircraft, carrying parachutists or towing gliders, roared overhead to the Normandy landing zones. They were a fraction of the air armada of 13,000 aircraft that would support D-Day.
Thanks to thousands of brave kids, yes kids! Some of the 'soldiers' that lost their lives were no more than sixteen years old, Hitler's grip on Europe was broken, this was the beginning of the end of the second world war. We owe these people the lives that we live today. We owe them more than I think we realise.
Thankyou.
