Running out of ideas (Help)!!

Great news. It's only 5 weeks till Christmas. Whahoo! and it's also Friday another whahoo! I'm stalling because I need something to write about besides everyone's christmas spirit or the lack of it (Bah Humbug)!

Seriously has anyone got tips on beating writer's block I can practically hear crickets chirping in my  idealess brain. has anyone watched the John Lewis Christmas advert? Some people only tunned in to the X Factor for that and said it was better than the actual show 

I need some new ideas to write about (if you've got some tell me in comments). speaking of ideas...
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
 
 
here's the song that was used for the John Lewis advert the ORIGINAL ONE not that Lily Allen's
vesion is bad it's just that you know how people always prefer the book to the movie adaptation? well this is one of those moments.

Writer's Block and Remembering

Am I the only person that when I try to write I end up staring at a blank screen (or sheet of paper)for half an hour before wanting to vent my frustration to everyone around me (or bang my head repeatedly off a keyboard)? In all honesty if anyone gets me something I'll actually use more than once for Christmas then it will have to be a manual for beating writer's block.

In other news,thankfully Remembrance Day went without any unwanted surprises. I would like to know if any of my ancestors fought in either war but this will take a lot of research, also Britain has promised to give at least £10m in aid to the Philippines (I'm still praying though) I'm not sure what's going on in Syria at the moment but I hope it's getting better. but if you want to support any charities there are loads to choose from I'm supporting one called Open Doors (I haven't got the link).

here's a quote which I think shows what I'm talking about:

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi (awesome guy)

two good songs one  about change and one thats been stuck in my head for ages


Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson:
and I Will Wait by Mumford and Sons:

Friends and Fireworks

Hi again. sorry I haven't been writing recently but I have a rule in my house which is homework before blogging so over the half term I had to bore myself to tears with Shakespeare (while scrolling through twitter and trying to read books on Amazon) and essay questions on the British constitution (snore)! 

The storm was something though, I couldn't sleep because of the wind. Sorry for the people who got their houses damaged and for those who know the people who died.

Since I'm back at school this week I haven't really caught up on the news although I did find out about Syria's chemical weapons being destroyed (finally). It's always good to see my mates though even though I've been turning into a zombie from all those late nights.

I have no idea what to write so I'm just  going to say something about friends  (best topic I could think of).
"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

You get two songs this time you lucky people! one for today's occasion Bonfire Night. "Firework" by Katy Perry (I know it's got nothing to do with the theme but the title works)! 

And one for today's theme "I'll be there for you" by The Rembrandts (Friends theme tune. I love that show)!

So two more things: could some one think of a theme and tell me in comments because I'm stuck for ideas and finally
