Rant about whiny boys

Friendzoning is rubbish, because girls are not magical machines that you put kindness into and sex comes out. It does not work like that. You may be a lovely person, you may adopt hurt puppies, donate to every charity in the book and give out free hugs in the street. Nevertheless, whiny man, you are not owed anything. If a girl likes you, she likes you. Be happy with it. If not, then don't complain that she owes it to you because you didn't hit her and vomit on her face.

But it's not your fault, moaning man-children. No, you have been conditioned to believe that if you do well in life, you will be rewarded. With a girl. Preferably Megan Fox. In every movie, the hero that saves the day gets the girl too - he never detonates the bomb, saves humanity, then sidles over to  [insert attractive actress here], gives her a smile, only to hear her say "um, no thank you. You smell like dog". You don't even get a "well, let's go on a date, get to know each other and maybe we'll find we like each other". Hollywood doesn't like that. And so it goes that boys feel somehow subconsciously entitled to be rewarded with women for good behaviour. Oh, you weren't a douchebag? Congratulations, here is my soul as a prize.

If you are in love with someone who only sees you as a friend, I do genuinely sympathise with you. But don't feel like girls must bombarde you with chocolate nipple pasties and IOUs for wild sexy times just because you are nice.

Ok. Rant done.

Bluesfest!

I know it's been a long time. I really am sorry. To be fair, I did spend a significant part of it worrying that I would never regain feeling in the lower half of my face after the wisdom teeth situation. I did, if you were wondering. I had to wear frozen peas strapped to my head with a net apparatus which tied on top of my head in a bow. I also couldn't speak. Needless to say, I seemed mentally deficient in every sense of the words.
THEN school started again and the shock was exhausted for everyone involved, especially as we were thrown a psychology test 4 days in. I should be a superhero: Cramgirl! She can stay up very late memorising useless bits of information which she will forget afterwards! I might buy a cape.

Aaaand I promised to rant about Bluesfest, which I will!! It was absolutely amazing with a billion different creative and unbelievable talented acts. Favourites include:

Buddy Guy.

Harry Manx. 

Bette Lavette. 

Rosie Ledet. 

John Butler Trio. 

Maceo Parker.

Hat Fitz & Cara.

I also had a very strange encounter with a hilarious (and very drunk) guy who signed my arm.

So that was bluesfest. I would highly recommend it for anyone who needs a dose of the blues.
