Ah, a large, random assortment of incidences

Random poem from english doodles

She sits alone,
no one there
on the beach
with raven hair.
Fading fast
through the night,
no one there
to hear her plight.


So yes, my dear readers, it HAS been quite a while since my last post, mainly for the reason that there is not quite much to blog about, but now, after around 1 week, the occurrences have stacked in the favor of a blog post.

Well, starting with my classes, it has become apparent that my wonderful teacher, Ms. Kennedy, drones about as much as a bee high on pollen, doing a dance to direct other bees to a certain grove of flowers. She started the lesson today with half an hour on how the earth rotates around the sun and how it affects the climate and seasons here on the planet. It was awful, and she still hasn't let us see that movie she said we'd be viewing in geo class... it has been disappointing. She keeps assigning all this work for finding locations on a map knowing only the coordinates, and I have to say, why the hell would we need to be doing worksheets on that??? Just teach us how, then makes us do it once or twice, and leave it at that, we don't need the details on latitude and longitude. But at least I have friends sitting around me to make it easier on the time :D

And today, I was biking along portobello with my friend Leslie, when we passed by some random jogger-lady. She was nothing out of the ordinary, plenty of people were jogging at that hour. But as soon as we passed her, she ran off the sidewalk, onto the grass, and sprinted so fast that she went ahead of us on our BIKES. She had no reason to do that, so we were kinda confused as to why she felt she needed to cut off the bikers...

Friday had been the opera, the marriage of figaro, and it was quite interesting... It was in italian, with french and english subtitles that were at the top of the stage, and the pit band was the NAC band, so it was really nice. It was extremely confusing though, lady1 wanted to marry figaro, but figaro was contracted to the secretary because she lent him money, and the count wanted to marry lady1, but the countess was wanting to marry off to someone else, and cherubino wanted to marry the countess, who was leading him on, and then figaro finds out the secretary is his mum, and the lawyer is his dad, and then the count tries to foil the marriage of figaro and lady1, and the marriage of the lawyer and the secretary, but fails, and the countess stays married to him, so in the end, everyone is married and happy. But after that wonderful spectacle, the homework that backed up let up to a 3.5hr homework session last night, and it was NOT pleasent to behold. Math, french, english, and spanish, ay caramba, es no bien.

On saturday we had our sorta brown movie night [CB kids and I], and it was alot of fun, alot more than I expected actually. We watched some of the hockey game, some of Om Shanti Om, and some of 007. It was michelle, kate, kate, sabrina, patrick, ryan and I at sabrina's house, which smelt of curry, but smelt good. :P
And after the movie, ryan and patrick had to bike home, and they called later and managed to trick kate, kate and sabrina that they were lost in the dark and didn't know how to get home, and the girls ended up spazzing and freaking out for them, until they started to laugh and ruined the entire thing for us. But in the end, even if the scared the girls half to death, it was quite funny and ALOT of fun. Alot better than anyone expected it to be I believe.

Friday and saturday I was at a joint birthday party for Ryan and Jordan. We went paintballing, then went back to ryan's house to have a sleepover without sleep. We played video games, ate, and eventually went outside to lurk amongst the houses at 2:30 am. We walked all over avalon and nottinggate, and even went to BeDe. It was kinda suspicious though because there was a group of 10 teenage guys, in hoodies, walking around at night and jumping fences, it was not the best situation, but it was alot of fun :)
After the walk, we got back to ryan's house and went downstairs to video game for a while, and cory ended up jacking off on the couch while everyone was playing video games, and brandon/cory were using the rumble packs on the controllers to massage their dicks. Besides the awkwardness of that situation, the party couldn't have gone better.

And so, as I listen to Serenade for Strings in C, Op. 48: I Pezzo in Forma di Sonatina by Tchaikovsky, I bid you adieu, for I am tired, and I might be getting up at 2:00 ish to roam the neighbourhood for a while, it's fun to do from time to time...
