4 February 2008 - "Rumours"

I am aware that there was problems with the comment form but they’re all sorted out now. If there are ever any problems with my website, don’t hesitate to contact me. Admin(at)ohsarah.com.

Back onto the blog topic, that being rumours. Only last week, I was on the receiving end of some embarrassing rumours myself but today people maliciously spreading rumours has reduced one of my friends to tears and I have had enough of these silly things.

I do not get the point of them. Why spread something which may or may not be true? Is it really that fun watching someone squirm with embarrassment,  be upset or even cry? What good could possibly come from gossiping with your friends about someone who you might not even talk to? And even if you do talk to them, if they’re your friend, why would you want to do that to them? It’s absolutely disgusting seeing one of my friends cry as a direct result of several people not being able to control their twittering mouths.

You wouldn’t like it if someone spread stories about you around the school. You wouldn’t like it if everywhere you went and everyone you talked to, that story got brought up. You wouldn’t like it knowing that everyone knows about the mistake you made, or if everyone believed something that wasn’t true.

Gossiping and spreading rumours go hand in hand and in the end, they only cause misery. Do you like to gossip? Have you ever spread an un/truthful rumour about someone? And if so, did you regret it? 

10 January 2008 - "Nice people"

Do you know those people who are always nice? The ones who never have a quarrel with anyone; no-one hates them and they hate no-one? I’m sure everyone knows someone like this. Someone who so annoying, frustratingly nice that it makes you want to be nasty to them, just to see whether they’ll carry on being nice or drop the façade… or maybe that’s just me.

The façade. Is there one, do you think? Or do you reckon that they simply are genuinely nice? Bare in mind that it’s always the quiet ones who turn out to be the psychopaths (ha ha, well okay I made that up).

Could you go for a whole week, month or even year simply being nice to everyone? …Or are you one of those sorts of people? If so, maybe you can answer my question: are nice people simply fake?

22 September 2007 - "Stop Eavesdropping!"

As I made my way back home from Manchester after a wet day in town (we ended up running through the fountains and getting drenched!), a person who I detest with my whole being got on the train. However he was with one of my mates, so I went up to my friend and started a conversation with him. Of course, the disgusting being who I hate couldn’t resist but make a dig at me. Me being me, I retaliated and we ended up having a shouting match with him. After I had kicked his greasy arse in the argument I moved to a different carriage in the train.

Anyhow, as I settled down into my new seat, I promptly began a bitching session about this disgusting person and his many online girlfriends (he can’t get any in real life), and I’ll admit a few swear words were said but I was hardly talking loudly. Plus who decides that a swear word is vulgar? What makes a swear word a swear word? Personally, I think that anyone who finds swear words offensive has lived a sheltered life and hasn’t experienced the real world. In other words, get over it! Anyway, as the train pulled up to my stop a hefty woman with a numerous amount of chins came up to the area where we sat and started yelling at me for swearing.

She was dragging along a small bespectacled child with her who looked completely docile. She claimed that I had poisoned the mind of her equally ugly child. What bollocks! Surely her shouting at me in a public place is far worse than me saying a few soft swear words. She must have been listening into our conversation to overhear me swearing because I definitely wasn’t talking loudly. I personally think that she was just looking for an argument. She was clearly menopausal and drugged up, which makes me think that she probably swore at the child and was being hypocritical. Who on Earth yells at a fourteen year old girl on public transport about the mistreatment of children?
