It’s Easter this week. I hope you’re all in
chocolate-eating mode right now.
Before I start:
Beware the woes of matric.
(I’ve also started applying to universities
and I’m pretty sure the number of existential crises that have occurred this
month outweigh those I’ve been through in my entire life combined.)
Books
Books I’ve Read:
Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy (Goodreads)
Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett (Goodreads)
Book of the month
Tess of the D’Urbervilles broke my heart.
I’ve never felt so betrayed in my entire life. Obviously, though, it’s
incredible.
Character of the month
I read Equal Rites after my friend read my
rant on feminism and decided that I needed some soul food in the form of a
short children’s book that’s actually not a children’s book, but an in depth,
wildly hilarious commentary on society. Granny was specifically phenomenal, and
if I could advocate a fictional speaker for women’s rights, I’d probably choose
her.
Quote of the month
“She was already learning that if
you ignore the rules people will, half the time, quietly rewrite them so that
they don't apply to you.”
Moments
Fangirl moment of the month
I may or may not have gone to see One
Direction the night before writing my music exam. I also may or may not have
screamed louder than the twelve-year-old next to me when they came on. It may
or may not have been slightly embarrassing. (Just kidding – I really didn’t
care.)
Facepalm moment of the month
See above. If I hadn’t been so busy trying
to get my oh-so-cool sister to sing along with me to every single song then I
would’ve felt guilty for not being ashamed.
Please
note: never will we ever speak of this again.
Music
Album of the month
The sound of my tears hitting the ground
because I maxed out my iTunes allowance.
(Also All Time Low’s Future Hearts is being
released painfully slowly.)
Song of the month
Lyric of the month
“Wisdom’s a gift, but you’d trade it for
youth
Age is an honour – it’s still not the
truth.”
- Vampire Weekend, Step
