"Let's go on a day trip!"
Last night was our schools annual church service. Absolutely riveting event. I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through. *sarcasmic face*Because I play the trombone, there are a few unspoken terms or even, a "contract" that goes with playing the trombone whilst at school, and that is; Playing Fanfares at school church services. This one was a brilliant one too... damn 6th to 2nd to 6th to 2nd positions about 100 times. Good thing i brought the Bass, oh how i love the trigger! Anyway, i was forced to play in the fanfare at the start, and i was also in the orchestra.
Quite an interesting night. Orchestra was right at the end, and the fanfare was at the start so me and a friend snuck out the back of the church and went to find food. Very exciting as you can imagine. or not.
I also managed to have a few interesting converations with Lachlan, the trumpet player.
And we walked onstage when we weren't supposed to. NOT MY FAULT
The trumpet teacher had "one light beer" and was dancing around to all the hymns. And even making up his own hymns when there were none to dance to. Funny man.
Ah, how i love school church services. Good work to those who did things that were actually productive. You know who you are, speshly A.

J'aurais voulu me casser l'ame.
I went and saw Quidam from Cirque du Soliel last night. It was quite the spectacular spectacular. It was soooooooooo AMAZING!!!!Go see it now! whatever country you live in, fly to Melbourne, and go see it!
I went with my mum, and 2 friends. We had a good time, especially when we were finding a park. We were driving around for ages and we were travelling along a single lined road (that means you can do a U-turn or anything... i.e you can swerve across the lane to get a park on the opposite side of the road) and this car was backing out of a spot on our side of the road, but there was this lunatic crazy accent man on the opposite side, trying to get our park, which saw first :S. anyway, us law abiding citizens thought, "oh lets help out this old man, and keep him lawful, and we shall steal his park." and he went ballistic, he started beeping is horn and flashing his lights, and he rolled down the window ready to abuse us. but we all just smiled politely, and he went on his way. And we got a super park.
When we were walking to the grand chapiteau, he passed us and started abusing my mum, saying she was all rude and stuff. But i came to the rescue; i had my victorian road rules neatly piled in my head, ready to shout out at him. Ahhh... the joys of be an L plater!

Archie and the 2 Lost Eggs
I had severe cravings for chocolate this morning, so i sent my mum out to search for the two eggs i couldnt find.They have gone.
However, our fat dog had a few nightmares last night. So i think we may find some interesting lookings turds (perhaps some pink foil coloured ones) in the back garden soon.
In other news. I want to kick Adam in the balls and hug Eve.

2 Lost Easter Eggs
I wake up this morning and i realise it's Easter Sunday, thankfully i had prior knowledge to this occasion unlike last year, when i forgot to buy the rest of my family eggs. Boy, did i get a beating.Anyway, i wasn't in the mood for chocolate, and my electric blanket was super snuggly so i just went back to bed.
As it turns out, it was also the end of daylight savings. When this came to my realisation i almost jumped for joy at the though of an extra hours sleep. But, i didnt jump as my bed was far too scrumtious. Ahhh the joys of electric blankets!
So it was nearing 11.30 and I decided to emerge from the warm belly of my bed. I looked in the kitchen for some easter eggs, but to my dismay, i found none. I went back up to my room to get my mums egg so that she may give me some reason why there was no chocolate for me. I found her on the toilet, (not a pretty sight) and i steadily handed her my egg. Then chucks a rager at me and tells me to find my eggs. Apparently she hid them in the back garden. The idea was quite exciting, but i really couldn't find the energy to look very hard. Nor did i have any shoes on. So i went out, had a geez around and i could only find 3. apparently there were 6. Then later in the dat i found another one. But there are still two out there. Maybe in a week or two i will find them.
Last year some time i was re-planting a pot-plant and i found a chocolate egg from who knows when. but it looked pretty gross.
So anyway, i went back inside and ate some chocolate. My dad got a better bunch of eggs than me so i said "alright dad, i get all your eggs if you can't tell me what easter eggs resemble."
So at the end of the day, i had four eggs of my own plaus two huge ones that were originally my dads.

The Debt Collectors
This morning i woke up, and i put my mp3 player on to random. I always get dressed to music. Anyway, the fist song that was played was "the Debt Collector" by Ben Lee. Not a surprise, as there are more Ben Lee songs on my mp3 player than any other artist. (except maybe Queen. Megan, i hate you) so yeah, there i was getting dressed whilst singing along. No big deal.Then at lunchtime today, i had a rehursal with my band. And Lachlan, the trumpet player and Tom, start talking about this career test they both did, and it turns out that Lachlan is going to be a debt collector. And i reply with... "eh? whats happening? Debt Collector? Great song!" and then i go off and daydream about Ben Lee.
THEN... I was walking to the car after school. There is a construction site just near our school, and you know how builders ALWAYS have they radio on Triple M (crappy rock station) and just as i was walking passed the dudes on the radio go "So, call us! What has been your wackiest experience with debt collectors?"
And i'm like. WOAH! what on earth?
So, i've come up with 2 possible outcomes.
1). The Debt Collectors are going to come and steal all my Ben Lee CD's whilst Triple M is playing in the background and Lachlan playing Trumpet randomly.
OR
2). I'm going to make passionate passionate love to lachlan the trumpet player whilst listening to "the Debt Collectors" on Triple M.
I hope it's the second of the 2. I mean, not only do i get to keep all my Ben Lee CD's, i also get to have a bit of fun at the same time!

No Unread Mail
Don't you hate it when you go to check your email and there are no new messages? I always get mail, like 5 new emails per day (minimum) and then today, i go to check my inbox and to my dismay, i find a little sign that says, "No Unread Mail."Davastation at its highest intensity.
What is worse, is say you are waiting for normal snail mail, and it doesn't come all week, so you think, "well, there is no mail on the weekend - therefore, my mail WILL come on monday."
And what happens on monday? NO MAIL!
At least today I had junk emails. They are always quite amusing. Especially the ones for illegal drugs. They are brilliant.
So, it's wednesday, and i have the final 90 minutes of the English SAC tomorrow. and what am i doing now? Procrastinating. AGAIN! I should study, of at least memorise the essay i have to write tomorrow. It's a killer. The torture of prisoners is just sooo... boring now. Selfish of me. yes.
Anyway, i suppose i better get going. i have more procrastinating to do. What should i do next? TV? call someone? write something on the Ben Lee board? All such good options. But i think i might ACTUALLY try and do schoolwork. (Shock Horror!)

Society, who needs it?
I was just having an interesting conversation on MSN about society, whats normal and the Meyer-Briggs test.Fist of all, i'll fill you in on the latter: The Meyer-Briggs test is a personality test my school makes all year 11's do before entering year 12. I turned out to be an ISTP, in other words a logical-sensing-sponatious introvert. I am the minority of my year level, that is, out of 200ish students, i am the only one who is an ISTP.
So anyway, im thinking, what is "normal" in todays society? its obviously not me. Although,
to me, i am completely normal, its just society that unapproves of my normalness.
Is normal being an extrovert that likes to organise their life via patterns and responsibility?
Sounds like a weirdo to me. But hey, who am i to judge?
Im curious to find a "normal" person. Everyone has their quirks.
If i could pick one normal person via their personality, i would choose Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. To me, she just has this amazing personality that shines above the others. But i wouldn't like to be her, or mimic her personality. I love me just the way I am.

Librarians and Sao
So, i have a free now, and i stupidly forgot to bring my persuasive essay to memorise for our issues SAC (school assesed curriculum, i.e its important.) so im stuck with nothing to do other than my psychology test that was due weeks ago. I only have to do the last question, but still, i know when i hand it in ill be in for a hounding. Mind you, Ms Dennett, my psych teacher is pretty awesome, so she might let me off easily.Im in the senior study center at the moment, and i really want to eat my bisquits, but... i left them in the library with all my other stuff. Actually, i can see Louisa eyeing them off now, she better not eat them, or somebody is in for a beating! Maybe i should go in there, scoff them down and risk getting banned from the library (is this SUCH a bad thing?) or i could stay here and continue being greasied off by the computer technicians.
On of my mates thinks the head technician guy is hot. which he is NOT! she reakons he looks like Ryan Gosling (the main guy from the notebook, who actually IS hot.) the fact is, our techie, is just a thirty-something year old school computer technician, and that is all.
Im going to go and check on my Sao's and Nice's now, hopefully someone has saved them from Louisas never ending stomach.

Archie Magarchie Steel
I just found my dog, Archie, eating my sandwich that I didn't eat today. I got angry at him, just because it isn't polite to go through other peoples school bags and eat their food.I remember in year 3, there was this whole scandal where some kid was eating everyone else's food. They never took mine, but come on! Who would steal a rice cracker with vegemite. Anyway, it turned out to be the fat kid. Which really annoyed me because he always had the best lunch anyway. Damn fat kid.
I think I saw him in the public library the other day. Still fat. Ah well.
Anyway, my point is, I think my dog is in for a tough night tonight. You see, the sandwich he ate had my grandma's tomato relish on it. Believe me, it is NOT pleasant. My mum thinks that I have a tough immune system, so she layers my sandwiches thick with the thick red goo. Then I have to starve the whole day because no one in their right mind would eat my grandmas tomato relish.
Here is Archie, he is a Cairn Terrier. Well... More precisely, he is fat.
