So... I think I've turned into an actual geek!

So yeh, if you've read my other blogs then it's quite easy to see that I'm really into 'Heat Magazine' more than I am 'The Daily Herald'.

I mean, I'm not a thicko... I've always been quite studious and what-not, but when it comes to the news stands in WH Smiths, I choose the celeb mags over science ones. And I definitely prefer a tabloid over a broadsheet.

So, imagine my surprise when it turns out I like politics?

Yes, celeb goss queen Samantha Bartlett likes listening about the likes of Gordon Brown and old Davie Cameron.

I was SHOCKED.

Haha.

It all began when I actually started going to my Public Affairs (e.g. politics) lessons at Uni. I had my phone fully charged and a magazine ready in my bag to prepare for the boredom.

However, to my amazement, I found myself gripped with the goings-on that were being discussed within the class and I was absorbing it all!

It was truely amazing.

Our tutor kept asking us if anyone had seen 'Question Time' on the BBC and, of course, no one had. So I decided this morning that I (instead of going to shorthand) I would watch an episode.

As I clicked onto the 'BBC Iplayer' and found the programme, I recoiled in horror that it was 1hr long.

I didn't think I could go through with an hour to be honest, I mean, it's a TV show about politics!

However, I clicked the little 'play' icon anyway and decided to watch.

The first person I saw was MP George Gallaway, who I instantly recognised as the guy that acted like a cat on Big Brother.

"Great" I thought, "Maybe it's just the same, they get them in a room and doing all sorts of weird shenanygans."

Of course it wasn't, they just sat there and talked. But, again, I was amazed to be enjoying their talks.

They were arguing and bitching to each other about all sorts of subjects that were in the news that I found I was really interested in.

I found myself wishing I was in the audience so I could ask them a question that would make them squirm or stutter!

Of course, this surprised me again greatly. Was a good surprise though, like you think that you've failed a test and get an A. Felt all cultured I did.

But yeh, I lasted the whole hour (apart from a trip to the kitchen to eat frazzles). But yeh, pleased with myself was I.

SO, there you have it. I'm a politics queen, well, princess maybe, erm... okay, maiden... WHATEVS.

So instead of 'The Hills' and 'America's Next Top Model' I might sit and watch another Question Time for my amusement.

Now where's my Heat Magazine!
