Welcome to Emily The Vampire Slayer, my name is Emily (surprised?) & this is my personal webspace that is free for me to say as I like in. You don't agree with my ramblings? That's fine, leave. I'm not out to offend or upset anyone but, like most, I'm very opiniated... that can often get in the way of my desire to be friends with everyone I meet because I won't drop my beliefs for anyone. Why should I? But feel free to take a look around and comment my blogs. Any questions, issues or complaints can be addressed here.

What is inspiration and how does it change us? Is it when we see something better than ourselves and finally realise what our whole being has been striving to achieve all along? And what happens when we come to be as good as that which has inspired us, or even better; do we then feel a sense of fulfillment, or do we simply find another sourse of inspiration greater than what we knew before and aspire to be better still? Do we ever really achieve anything or do we just meet a target in order to set ourselves another one? Maybe we're all just wasting our time... maybe that's all life is really about.
In the end, I have come to some miserable conclusion that it doesn't actually matter at all anyway. Life, emotions, aspirations and inspirations, targets and achievements; does it make me a depressing, pessimistic person if I pause to point out that the outcome is always the same? I would like to make a small, possibly sexist, point about men. They are quite ridiculous in their manner. I read a book on the social development of the Western world and it said that one of the reasons men believed themselves superior to women was because of their ability to be more rational. Rational? Like bombing and killing one another because they can't get what they want? Because they believe in something that someone else doesn't? A something that they have no idea if it really exists anyway? The rationality is lost on me.
But to forgive men for a second and look at the bigger picture: men are ridiculous, but people as a whole are too. Religion: The unnecessary belief in something which the existence of defies all laws of probability and science; and also killing and dying for said highly unlikely thing, (see also: wasting of one's life).
If I have offended you, if you love God and visit Church regularly, or if religion is an important part of your life, I advise you to leave now because you won't like what I'm saying and you definitely won't get any sympathy from me. I'm not attempting to put anyone down but I have strong beliefs too, and I believe that we can never exist harmoniously together while we continue to think our lives are ruled by some higher being who controls us and makes all the rules. The thing about religion that doesn't coincide with other aspects of life is that it doesn't progress forwards. Take the Bible, for instance, it was written by a bunch of old men in a very out-dated time, it's contents do not follow that of today's society and it is dragging us into the darkness of our past. If we live by the rules of the Bible, we are controlled by the ghosts of ancient times and this can in no way be construed as civilisation.
If it is true and there is a God who really cares about and loves every single one of us, then I know that they would prefer that we cast aside these ridiculous beliefs in favour of living harmoniously. I know that anyone as benevolent as God is portrayed would, without doubt, put first the well-being and peace of the Earth's citizens before their personal need for praise and idolisation. With this obvious point in mind, I see no reason whatsoever for the continuance of religion and all the evil and killings it inflicts upon the human race.

Woah, well I'm glad I got that off my chest. I'm going to allow myself to brag a little for the last part of my blog. Basically, I got back my results from my Psychology AS level exam and I got an A, 97% in fact. That's good, even being modest that's good. I am proud of myself and definitely surprised. The only other things I have left to say is that I may be getting Domain hosting from Spencer and that I hate, no, I REALLY hate Sophie Gorn. I'm not sure if that's even how you spell her last name, but I hate her. She's this girl in my form who wanted to tell me on Friday that I was skiving and that I hadn't been ill, right then, because she knows better than me... but fair enough, some people assume things and need to be corrected, but when I tried to tell her the truth about why I wasn't in school, she pulled this sarcastic face that made her look like Edwina Currie and said: "Um, yeah right". WHAT??? Is she trying to tell me that she knows better than I do about what happened to me? I'm not going to waste my time writing paragraphs for her, just one word: BITCH.
