I'm Home educated

Why is it that when you say you're home educated people always ask the same questions, and you generally give the same answers. People are so unoriginal.
Here are the questions I always get asked and the answers I give to them.
1.Q. How about socialisation with other people?
A. Aren't you a person?
2.Q Don't you get bored?
A. Sometimes, don't you?
3.Q. How do you do exams?
A. I sit them as a private candidate or go to night school.
4.Q. Do you have a tutor?
A. No, I teach myself
5.Q. Won't you find it hard when you go to university or get a job?
A. Probably
6.Q Will you home educate your children
A. Yes
etc....

At the end of the conversation people either say to me,
1. I wish I was home educated
or
2. Are you saying I'm wrong

Macaroni Cheese on toast

I used to think that macaroni Cheese on toast was something everyone had rather like they would have beans on toast or cheese on toast. However, much to my utter dismay I found that it was a delicacy perculier to my family. I felt an overwhelming grief for the millions of people who have spent their life without having this incredible dish, all for the sake of a piece of toast.
I strongly recommend it.

PS. I exaggerated slightly, I not really that obsessed with food

Debate

Yesterday I went to a debate in Liverpool Cathederel. It was on the subject of 'Is Evolution compatible with the Christian faith.' It was rather one sided because there were about 1000 people there and most of them were six dayers. The evolutionest chap was a canon and spent most of the time doing his politician impression and avoiding the questions. He also kept turning his head away from the microphone so I couldn't hear him The Six day guy(John Macky) was far better, he spoke loudly in his strong austrailian accent and answered most of the questions put to him on.

How to be always pleased with you're exam results.

I always think that when you take exams you should always reconcile yourself to failure before the results come out. That way if you fail you won't be disappointed, and if you pass you'll be chuffed, regardless of the mark. Of course you also need to prepare everyone else aswell, particularly your teachers, parents, and grandparents. So if anyone asks how you did you need to say, "awful", then you go on to explain how that you didn't revise what the questions were on and how you're sure that you didn't get long enough in the exam or some other true explanation of why you might do rubbish even though it wasn't your fault. Then they will expect you to fail and wont be disappointed when you tell them you have later.

Nan's and I.T

I rather liked this poem, it's quite clever.

The computer’s swallowed Grandma
Yes honestly, it’s true
She pressed ‘Control’ and ‘Enter’
And disappeared from view.

It’s devoured her completely
The thought just makes me squirm
Maybe she’s caught a virus
Or been eaten by a worm.

I’ve searched through the Recycle Bin
And files of every kind
I’ve even used the internet
But nothing did I find.

In desperation I asked Jeeves
My searches to refine
The reply from him was negative
Not a thing was found ‘Online’.

So, if inside your ‘In box’
My Grandma you should see
Please ‘Scan’, ‘copy’ and ‘Paste’ her
In an e’mail back to me.

Do I really look twelve?

I was rather annoyed yesterday. I was at athletics and someone asked how old I was, I answered "fifteen" to which she exclaimed "Oh I thought you were about twelve or thirteen, you're really small." anyway one by one everyone else managed to hear how old I was, and I got exactly the same reaction from them all.
