Life is like a florist: it smells funny and everything comes wrapped in pretty paper.

 Following an environmental theme for a while, if I may? (Of course that is an entirely redundant rhetorical question as I shall already have written this when I publish it). Packaging is a real thorn in my side. So many unnecessary things come wrapped in layers of plastic and card that do little more than make things look slightly more attractive, for example only a few weeks ago I purchased a memory stick it measures about 4 cm but nevertheless it arrived in a box that would have appeared palatial to Hannibal’s army of elephants, I mean what on earth is the point in all that packaging, but it gets worse I open the box and find that it is filled with bubble wrap eventually I unearth the smallest packaged item you’ve ever seen surrounded by enough packaging to protect a gazelle from a pack of hungry lions armed with ‘Stanley knives’. What makes it worse is that this isn’t even cheaper; they could have stuck the thing in an envelope, at a cost of about 75p, but as it happens they have to charge £5.00 to pay for vast amounts of packaging. No wonder we have no landfill sights left; if every time you buy a banana you have to throw away 4 kg of plastic (I exaggerate). But I think you see my point. Perhaps if we saved some of the bubble wrap they envelop everything in for a while we could float it into the atmosphere and replace the ozone layer that we destroyed in the process of manufacturing it.

And of course because all of this rubbish builds up, and now (where I live at least) the rubbish is only collected one a fortnight it all starts to stink and fill up the garden. Well Perhaps if they stopped wrapping everything up in so much rubbish then we would have a much cleaner planet. You wouldn’t end up lacerating your face with a Stanley knife every time you try and battle your way through the packaging that you need to open just to get hold of the chocolate bar you thought you’d sneak in on the way home.

This is all another example of people being stupid. If they had the forethought to wrap the food in only one layer of plastic or even sell things loose (its not like the fruit and veg are going to stampede of down the high street if you don’t suffocate them in two tonnes of packaging) then maybe we’d be living in a happier place – a bit more like a meadow than a florist (the mortuary of the plant world).

ALso my parents are  insane, my mother comes home at lumch time and i say 'I have a headache' so she goes ont he phone to all srots of people and laughs in such a high pitch that i'm sure she has destroyed every glass in the house, the wont shut up.  The i can't eat because i'm sick and she is eating a HUGE bowl of pasta in front of me and i'm about to kill her for the annoance when she goes...

Then some idiot comes and starts banging on the door for some reason and wont go away even when i don't answer.  And my bloody computer wont connect to the internet so i have nothing to do all afternoon becuase my TV wont work, and hte DVD player on my laptop doen't know its a DVD player.

Then I try and go on here and first the internet isn't working so i give up and go and watch TV downstairs, then Will&Grace is on so i think 'Yay!!' but i thought too soon as there is no signal on teh TV, so i try and fix it and it gives me an electric shock so i shout 'bugger!' and slap the TV in a very camp way, then strom off...  SO eventulay i get online to livejournal and i can't remember my password!!!!!  eventualy i managed to remember and wrote this.  While I was writing my brother came home and keeps making loads of noise so my headache gets worse and want to strangle him!!!!!!!
