The Beautiful South - Song for Whoever

Losing my voice

Today,
I
lost
my
voice.

It was so strange having words planned and said but not coming out of your mouth and unable to hear it.
However, this has made me realised how I much I talk. I realise that our 'conversations' don't really happen as it is usually just me talking them nodding. Embarassingly, I also notice I talk to myslef.

God, I want my voice back, but I suppose it really makes me realise how much I talk. Too much.

I belong in Hogwarts!

I remember when I was little and reading the Harry Potter books - which I loved - and was convinced that I would be invited to go as a muggle-born. I guess a little bit of me died when I had to go to a secondary school which in no way was magical. Even now (at 13/14) I still have fantasies of Dumbledore coming to whizz me to Hogwarts and telling me it was a mistake that I wasn't invited when I was 11.

Games to play in class

Yes, its that boring maths lesson you've been dreading for the whole day...
But hurrah! Luck has turned around and you have a supply teacher.
New seating plan, no work to do....perfect.
And because you and your friend have talked about everything today the conversation turns slightly awkward.
Then your pen runs out :(
So you decide to make a mini funeral for him.
With his pencils family and sharpener cousins who all came to do a speech.
And because you have a warped mind the sharpener falls in love with the newly widowed wife pencil of the dead pen.
And they have an affair.
And the pen comes back alive.
And Harriet the highlighter takes drugs

You know it was the best maths lesson ever.
