Editor’s Note<br />

I think it was Shakespeare who once said: “woe am I!” and whoa am I having a epically horrendous day. I<br />

find myself sitting here on the verge of tears. I have had literally the worst day ever. Hell is a luxury hotel<br />

room compared to my stench of a life. I do not know why I bother to breathe (well, obviously I do), when<br />

the air stabs my lungs like a balloon filled with lead. I never knew it was this possible to be this apoplectic<br />

in this day and age. Like, OMG even when my pet guinea pig Persephone died I was not this tragic, and let<br />

me tell you, thems were tough times.<br />

The level of sadness that I feel is not even human. I am a sloth. Yes, only a sloth could feel this sad. The<br />

never ending tunnel of despair that I am being catapulted through, due to my torturous situation and<br />

grievous yet compelling tales of despair, just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on like Andrex<br />

(other products are also available).<br />

Without being too dramatic about it, I am metaphorically lying in the metaphorical debris that is my metaphorical<br />

life. Metaphorically speaking of course.<br />

I don’t really want to talk about it, it still hurts. Well, okay. Today, I argued with my best ever friend since<br />

year 7. And now she hates me and she said that she never wanted to talk to me ever again and she didn’t<br />

even like the card I gave her for her birthday and she hates the way I dress and she never even liked me<br />

anyway and she just doesn’t understand me.<br />

Ugh!<br />

My life is so hard.<br />

The universe is just too small to accommodate all of my problems, and neither is my brain. I have literally<br />

just remembered a piece of homework that I have to do for my next lesson. Great, I have just stuffed my<br />

already overflowing problem universe with another problem and now my problem universe is about to<br />

burst at the seams and all of my problems will whiz and fly everywhere and everybody will be infected by<br />

my problems and it will be all my fault and then that will also be my problem.<br />

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Ignore everything I just wrote. Everything is fine now. The<br />

teacher was not angry about the homework.<br />

I talked to my friend after school and she was so apologetic. She told me about how<br />

horrible she felt about everything and how she doesn’t hate me and how everything is<br />

fine. In response to my universe qualms, she simply laughed.<br />

And she did like the card I gave her for her birthday.
