Barmy Blue's Bland Blog

I slept in until 9:45ish.
Dad popped in because he was finally going to see the doctor about his ears.
Mum went up to Covent Garden with to "girls" from work (They'd been planning it for a while).
I went shopping. I got my dad a book on trains and I got Tom a little purple dragon and a Japanese comic book (For the artwork).
Today Tom revealed a startling bit of information that shook me slightly. He's quit college and is temping in offices and catering in schools. He's applying for a job in blockbusters tomorrow too.
In his own words "The course was getting boring, I was behind on some of the work and unless I broke my back and stayed up for a whole week with my nose to the paper, I was gonna fail. So I decided to work instead."
He says this has been going on for a few weeks. But how can that be, when he had the nerve to drag up the "You should've gone to college" thing last Saturday, and on the way home we asked him how college was and he told us that he was going to be starting his final project too.
He LIED to us. I can't believe he didn't tell me about it. I guarantee Alice knew. He told me that she kept sending him pictures of a dress she liked on ebay but couldn't afford it (This was last Saturday when I asked what he'd got her, casually). He was dumb enough to buy it along with two other things. I pity him, I really do. He can't see a money grabbing Harpy when she comes along at all.
The only good thing about him leaving college (With only a couple of months left to go) is that if he ever dares to bring up the "You should've gone to college thing" I can throw it back in his face with a "Well, look what good it did you."
I am very disappointed in Tom. He always went on about how lazy I was and how I couldn't be bothered to do anything and he's the one that left college because he was behind with work (That he could have caught up on, if he'd tried) and got bored with the course, because it wasn't what he thought it would be like.
He really has disappointed me. I thought that if anyone could make it, if anyone had the determination to get to where he wanted to go it would be him. But he's just ruined any admiration I had for him. I wrote another or my poor poems about it and went around running people over in GTA3 to get my aggression out.

"Liar

He told me things,
He spun me lies,
From white wings,
He bound my eyes.

Then he told me,
A slip of truth,
Now I could see,
Gone was our youth.

He lied!
He lied to me!
He let things slide!
He lied! He lied to me!

Why! Oh why!
To me of all,
Why did you lie?
How did you fall?

That little slip,
And now I know,
That little trip,
And here I go.

I’ll pick apart,
Your awful lies,
And now I start,
To open my eyes.

Shame on you,
You liar, you fool,
Was it ever true?
You were on a pedestal.

Then you came,
Crashing down,
No one to blame,
You dashed your crown."

I know, it's a poor attempt at poetry, but I was angry.

By the way, today's chocolate was a little train, very cute .
