"Here's a knocking indeed! If a man were porter of hell-gate, he should have old turning the key. Knock, knock, knock! Who's there, i'the name of Beelzebub? Here's a farmer, that hanged himself on the expectation of plenty: come in time; have napkins enow about you; here you'll sweat for't. Knock, knock! Who's there, in the other devil's name? Faith, here's an equivocator, that could swear in both the scales against either scale; who committed treason enough for God's sake, yet could not equivocate heaven: O, come in, equivocator. Knock, knock, knock! Who's there? Faith, here's an English tailor come hither, for stealing out of a French hose: come in, tailor; here you may roast your goose. Knock, knock; never at quiet! What are you? But this place is too cold for hell. I'll devil-porter it no further: I had thought to have let in some of all professions that go the primrose way to the everlasting bonfire. Anon, anon! I pray you, remember the porter." - The Porter's Speech, Macbeth

You move slow like daytime drama and I'm boring like his songs so while I'm taking you for granted we'll be humming along well cross my heart and hope to I'm lying just to keep you here so reckless so so thoughtless so careless I could care less
we watched a really interesting documentary in english literature today we were learning about the plays in context so we looked at how the morality play could be applied to 'dr faustus' as it was a common genre of the time, and then the teacher put on a documentary
it was about equivocation and king james and shakespeare and the gunpowder plot and treason and execution and it was so fascinating
it's an area of history i enjoy and wish i knew more about tbh shakespeare has a special place in my heart anyway so i'm pretty much interested in anything to do with him

He believes in the love of his god of all things but I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins the drugs that decieve him and the girls that believe him I can't control you I don't know you well these are the reasons I think that you're ill
ahhhh i've been revising literally all day my brain feels like mush :( i started revising at like 11.15 and i didn't stop until 5.15 when my mum & brother got home and i had to get ready for work. i had 2 hours at work and now i'm back...revising again
i've been doing a routine of revising for 20 minutes, then take a 10 minute break...it seems to be going well so far but it seriously could be so so so much better.
i just want to crawl into bed and sleep and forget that frankenstein/macbeth/faustus ever even existed, especially frankenstein because that book makes absolutely no sense to me at all it's just a jumble of words on a page that don't read well together in my opinion.
i've got college tomorrow too which is a bit of an arse tbh
