About Me

I'm sick to death of kids these days thinking they're the first generation to get drunk, smoke pot, snort ecstasy and coke (yes pills can be crushed and lined) and watch porn. Every year has their bag-eds right, and they usually end up stinking to fuck with bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, prosthetic limbs and an inpatient at Kenyon house at Prestwich hospital. Either that or pregnant and on the dole at 16. Either way, my point is this. It's not big or cool or clever. It just makes you look like a cunt to anyone who's ever been involved in the drug scene or has an ounce of sense.Oh by the way, my name's Kirsty and I don't like many things. I'm massively critical, blunt and I can be a right nasty mouthy bitch. My poor bf cringes himself stupid sometimes.But for those of you in my good books, I'm a really loyal friend, a philanthropist and someone who genuinely cares about others. I cry at sad stories in the newspapers, I get mad at injustice and poverty and I actively campaign for human and animal rights, not because it's 'cool' but because I believe in it. Anyone can say they support Oxfam or whoever. But not everyone can say they sit in their room selotaping badges to charity flyers and coalating multiple flyers to spend their early Sunday morning posting through the fron doors of everyonein the immediate viscinity. I can. So swivel.I'm a huge fan of books and I think that anyone who doesn't want to better themselves intellectually (whether their field be science, sociology, arts etc.) isn't much of a human being at all - rather an empty shell of one. I think people with 9-5 lives who live for the weekend and think Heat magazine is a current affairs publication should also be shunned by anyone with a grey cell.I'm sick a twats who label themselves 'emo' but say 'stop labelling me' and then sit at home listening to shite music that they only like because nobody else has heard of it, moaning about their percieved problems and scuffing their brand new converse to make it look like they've always been in with the scene. I'm also sick of ignorant people. That isn't stupid people because some people are just born with low IQs and they can't help that. I mean people who are racist or predjudice or complete fools. I want to selotape your eyes open and make you read every newspaper from the past 6 months, followed by a few choice books on different topics such as culture, arts, society, politics, history, science, philosophy, music, classical literature . . . .etc etc.Also, why is it that galaxy chocolate has to be so nice?! It's evil and immoral to eat but oh my god . . . . it's so nice! Also why do Tesco charge 89p for 4 strips of pineapple, it's a jip but it's also SO NICE!Anyways, that's me and my rambling shitey views on the world. I'm not saying they're right but freedom of speech and all that crap . . .
