So I didn't make it home last night which is not entirely my fault, mostly it is Jack's and Jacob's fault! Oh my god, Scarlet is actually going to kill me this time!!

Events as they happened:
5.30 Me and James were getting ready to leave to go to Grampa Riley's, Mum didn't want to take us incase she got captured, so she planned on making us walk. I say planned because just as James opened the door to leave, the dog charged from the kitchen, where it had been barking at washing machine, and knocked James over causing a broken finger and bruising to the wrist. I don't know why the dog was so eager to get outside, maybe it liked the smell of kebab wafting over from Thin Kylie's house?

6.00 I was forced to go to Grampa Riley's solo, or I would have been, had Jack not have walked past when I was taking the long route and offered to hang out with me instead. I did try to resist for Scarlet, but he had a six pack of cider over his shoulder, I thought I might have needed some Dutch courage before facing a Jubilee based tea.

6.30 Me and Jack were going back to his, after he assured me Scarlet was out at an anti-Queen rally in Cambridge with Bob and Suzy, when Jacob rung him and asked if he wanted to come over to his place with Justin Stantham (who I have had a crush on forever) and hang out. To which he said he couldn't as 'Rach and I am umm, already doing something' So Jacob invited me too! Jack seemed reluctant but we went anyway as I said I was 'cool' with it!

6.45 We went to Jacob's where he and Justin were just playing their guitars. It was a bid weird considering I have no real reason to be friends with Jacob anymore.

7.15 We were just fooling around, playing 'I never', thankfully I have really never done anything, otherwise I would have been as drunk as Jacob, who apparently has done a lot.

Oh Mum has just told me to get off the computer, she needs 'to talk with me' I ope this isn't about last night...

Grampa Riley has invited us over for tea to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee. Mum said she is going to sent me and James over so she does not have to deal with him and his 'Monarchist ways'. I said I thought she liked the Queen, she said yes, but it is not something she is willing to get food poisoning for! So instead me and James have to suffer half cooked food and Baby Jesus in Union Jack pants. It was bad enough this morning waking up and looking out the front window to see the Queen staring at me from Thin Kylies garage!

If I make it home tonight, I will report back...oooh I feel a bit like a Royal correspondent!

Sad Ed is taking Drama, Philosophy and Ethics, Art and Music. Obviously Mr and Mrs Thomas aren't up to date with the latest government guidelines on what is 'soft'. Scarlet is taking Politics, Economics, Philosophy and Ethics and English Language, basically she trying to make herself a mini politician, which makes me afraid, I best take Politics to keep up with her fast moving Communist Feminist ideology.

I think my final option is Philosophy and Ethics as there is no way I am taking Maths or Science, which I think is what Mum was hoping for!!

I think my assigned 'soft' subject may be Drama, although I don't see what is so soft about it, remembering Hamlet is not an easy task!

I am defiantly going to take English Literature, to nurture my literary talents. So that's two, I wonder what Scarlet and Sad Ed are doing?

Ok now I really do need to pick my A-levels, as opposed to using that just to avoid Jack. Mum cornered my this morning (very intimidating when she has her bag of dry Muesli, that stuff is lethal when compact) in the kitchen with the AS sign up sheets and the government specification for 'real' and 'soft' subjects. I have been informed I may have one 'soft' subject and the rest have to be 'real'. I am surprised she has taken such an interest in my education to be honest, she let my pick my own GCSE's as I was 'a lost cause'.

Considering I don't even have a career plan (another one of Scarlet's reasons for why I will be left behind when women rise up against 'the man', although seeing as though I don't even know who 'the man' is, I am unsure how I am suppose to rise against him. I am too short to rise up against him anyway. I wonder if Jack or Jacob is 'the man'?), how am I suppose to pick my A-levels? I hope there is some kind of online questionnaire that can help me decide!

Jack texted me saying his exams are finished, do I want to meet up 'to relax'? I don't know why he is being so friendly with me, I can't meet up as I am suppose to be avoiding him. Will say no as I am picking my A-levels!

Oh my, it has been a month since I last posted! I very typically Riley-esque boring month! Anyway the reason I haven't been on for a while is because of the GCSE related Internet ban! Mum has not allowed me on the Internet unless for vital revison needs, even then she stood in the door way with one eye on me and one eye on the dog (who was trying to open the oven door at the time to get to the Sunday lunch)!

So for the past month I have been stuck in my room revising and thus have become a social pariah! If you were wondering I did not go and meet Jack at Waitrose, Mum caught me trying to sneak out and sent me back upstairs with Hamlet. (The tragic Shakespeare play, not the person, that would have been weird)

But now the exams are over and and British summer stretch out before me, before I return to John Major as a 6th Former, in my own clothes, with our own common room, and no annoying year 7's!! I think Scarlet has planed her summer already, mostly avoiding men. Her Radical Feminist ideology is consuming her, Jacob and Jack best be aware!
