Early Mornigs suck.
Feb. 14th, 2006 06:37 amYes I am up at a rediculously dumb hour. Yesterday i was awoken by my friend texting me at 6.30am to ask how my dad was (a curve ball sorta, but he had been ill over the weekend so fair dues) And today it is 5.30 cause my cat is hungry and she will walk all over me in symbolic ways saying pwn you don't forget that. I could do with sleep is wwhat I say to this cat, and she looks at me with evil eyes saying yes, but if you are not careful to feed me I will yak on you and then who's happy! Cats are evil in their cuteness
I have Hollywood cinema for an english class which has to be better than Verbal into visual which ran last year. I hope I enjoy the research on this. I hope the questions for psychology are set cause yeah I definately need to start doing some research. Senate House here I come. I actually really want to make some great essays and have excellent grades.
I have about 180 quid saved for when Michael comes down (Yes Victor, I am using full name) Hopefully what his ex said runs true and he'll spend on me. I can't wait to sneak into his room at 6am and snuggle up to him!!!! No better way to live!
Is it me or has my bestfriend Stephanie's anal retentiveness rubbed off on me. Not only am I marking all the things I do so I know what i haven't so I do them, but I am making lists of everything I have to do til the end of my diary, which FYI finishes Jan 1st 2007! I am insane. I must be. Darn you steph!!! Actually all in all it isn't a bad thing I feel like I know what my life holds and at east i can look back and know what is going on where in my life and planning is essential.
One thing I wish to say, damn it to hades and back, 6.46am and I am to chipper for the hour and I haven't had coffee yet, who do I kill around here to solve this!!!!

"In my first memory I am three years old, and I am trying to kill my sister. Sometimes, the recollection is so clear I can remember the itch of the pillow case under my hand, the sharp point of her nose pressing into my palm..."
This is the prologue of the book and sets a tale i motion which deals with the question of "How far would you go to save a child?"
The main protagonist is Anna, and whilst she is not sick she has had innumerous invasive procedures from the age of five to provide any manner of 'donatable' cells to her severely ill sister. By the time she is thirteen she is apparently so sick of it all that she hires an attorney complete with service dog.
Each chapter of the bok is told via the players n the drama Julia who is a guardian ad litem and is also romantically linked both before and durin g the novel to Campbell Alexander the lawyer, her parents Sara and Brian Fitzgerald, Anna the main character and the most enigmatic, Jesse Fitzgerald, the overlooked older brother and Kate Fitxgerald, who is the sick middle sister, upon who the entire fitzgerald clan focus's on.
Whilst a fascinating novel I was angry at time when reading and at other desperately sad. It is also one of those ethical questions of do you have children as little more than spare parts or should we limit it. Also it is a look at family dynamics underfire and how families when one person is so ill ignore all that goes on around them.
One line was emotionally resonant for me;
"See, as much as you want ot hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it. And the very act of living is a tid: at first it makes no difference at all, and then one day you look down and see how much pain has eroded."
