So, sunday. We played a word game - I forget the name. It was like taboo, but easier. I baggsed being on AJ's team. Woah big surprise, AJ Andrew and I won. Then some people went and fiddled with the keyboard while others played the castle building game. Scott won cos of all his lil farmer doods. We lit all the cupcakes on fire (well, their candles anyway. It might have smelt a bit elsewise.) and then ate cake. Jess turned a couple of balloons into instant breast implants. After that, a large part of the afternoon was devoted to boobs, nipples and sex changes. Yeah, we're SO mature.
Gosh, I hope someone got pictures of that ...
ANYWAY Parnie turned up a lot of hours late, even more than usual, and we played Totally Gross. This time I made everyone veto the spinning-around-til-you-fall-over card, simply for the sake of the floor (vomit and carpet make an uneasy mix). Aparna and I lost very badly, but at least we learned stuff - like the fact that Uranus is a planet. Wow :O
Then we watched Lano and Woodley. Ah, slapstick, how could we live without your brilliant crassness?
Parnie and Jess left before dinner, which was tacos, which we had mainly because they were the esiest things to have which didn't have egg... and AJ's cake didn't have egg in either ...DARN Aparna for not eating things we prepared with consideration of her *grumbles*.
We tried to play 1000 blank white cards, but we ran out of time so it was a very short game indeed. But it did involve 2 cards being eaten, so I think it was worth it. Then we went to Darkzone ... and accidentally left Andrew at my place. Hehe. Mum brought him along with my sister. We played one team game and one free-for-all. I prefered the team game better (mostly because I kicked ass :P ) It was fun running up and down all the masses of levels, lying in wait and then shooting people in the back. Except when they shot you in the back, like Andrew did. Sniper.
And then we went home.
Aw.
Yesterday I drove to Marie's place(yes, I did get lost), and Gity was there which made me very happy because I haven't seen her in months and months. We played Uno and watched My Family. It was awesome fun. And we ate cup-a-soup from bowls. That was also mildly amusing, in a foody kind of way. Then Gity and I went to Josh's (and yes, we got lost. Thank god for GPSs) to return the games he had left at my house on sunday. Gity wanted to go home rather than stay, but once I figured out that it was because she wanted to talk to "someone" I asked Josh to log her on to msn and then we were fine. We ate yummy biscuits and played scrabble. Josh whupped our arses, but he let me cheat so I had great fun.
And then
sigh
we had to go home.
Gity saw her brother walking home when we got near her house so she made me race so that she could get to the computer first. Hehe.
And now I'd better go to bed cos I have to get up freakishly early tomorrow.
G'night.
Yes, I have been lazy and haven't updated in aaaages. Well, here goes.
On Monday the 7th of April, we took Merry and Mystic to the vets - Merry to be desexed and Mystic to get her teeth cleaned. (They were originally booked in for March 10, but then someone suddenly realised that that was a public holiday.)
So we took them in on Monday, but at the end of the day they still hadn't been done. We took them home and took them back again the next day. They told us to pick them up at 6 pm, so we turned up then ... and their surgery had been done, but there weren't enough people to discharge the animals or some such rot. After an hour and a bit, we realised that I was going to be late for my lecture, so dad drove me there (luckily I was only 10 minutes late) and left mum behind. When he got back to her at 8:15, the dogs STILL hadn't been discharged. Grief ...
Anyway, we got them home in the end.
A few days later, and Merry was getting worse instead of better. By the time she started screaming whenever she moved, we were extremely concerned and mum took her back to the vets. They wanted to do x-rays and all sorts of stuff, but mum said "Could we just try a laxative first?"
A few hours and a large number of compacted shits later, Merry was feeling much better. Mum returned with the dog and the antibiotics and painkillers they had cleverly forgotten to give us when they handed back the dogs ...
Poor babies.
And then a couple of days after that they came down with kennel cough from being in cages for so long with all the sick dogs around. Luckilly they've had their vaccinations so they were only violently ill for a couple of days, instead of weeks.
I don't think much of vets. They can go hang. We took Merry's stitches out at home.
Aaaanywho. I also went to a two day seminar thing about T-touch for dogs, which is a bit like massage, and I had a methods sac which was crap and a psych sac which was fine.
On the 17th, I was going to go to a French trivia night with Marie, but then she realised she had to be home for the computer installation guys. I really didn't want to go to TAFE, so I went to AJ's place instead. I never did tell my parents about that change of plans. Oops :P
The Saturday after that, lots of peoples went out for lunch. It was supposedly Yum Cha, but we ordered form a menu. I think I ate more pork dumplings than everyone else combined. Despite sitting next to Jessica the entire time, I still don't like tea, which I guess means I never will. But the food was nice, and affordable too .. so we went and blew our leftover cash on gelati. Mmm, gelati. We ate it next to the library, where we met a slightly retarded but funny old guy with a nice dog. Andrew stole Jess's handbag and hid it up a tree. Several times. I love Jess-Andrew wars. Hehe.
Over April I had a few driving lessons at Frankston, with a driving instructor who was actually nice and didn't make me feel like I had all the driving ability of a week old turd. That was a nice change :)
On the 24th, I went for my hazard perception test. I kept on clicking too early. As I got further and further through it, I grew more and more certain that I had failed. When it got to the end, I turned to the lady and she said "You got 64%." Woops, I thought. Mum is going to hate me. "Which is great, and you passed." I did what now?! So. 64% is a pass mark for that. You learn something new every day. So my driving test went ahead as planned, on the 2nd of May at Frankston. I drove around for an hour beforehand with my instructor, which was supposed to clam me down. I'm not sure it helped much. In my test, despite having my instructor with me and a very nice examiner, I clammed up and lost a few marks for giving way for too long at round abouts and driving too slowly. But I PASSED. OMG. And with better than 90% too :P
So the past few days, I've been driving myself places. I was warned that it was going to be very different, but the only difference I notice is that it's way quieter and calmer without my mother there.
But I do get lost a lot now.
Thank god for GPSs.
Now backtracking a bit ... I went to Thisiri's "birthday party" on the 26th. I turned up what I would consider late at 20 past 6, and there and there was a handful people from La Trobe there. I got to know them a little and wished I hadn't. They are so VAIN, self-obesessed, dumb ... gargh. Most, not all. When some more people turned up, they started drinking wine and champagne and turning up the music. I was just getting more and more akward. The saddest part was that so were most of the people there. As more people from Glen Waverley turned up, it ended up just being a huge room of people with IQs greater than 110 pretending that they had IQs less then 90 so that they could enjoy drinking, dancing and being really sociable with people who they didn't know. It wasn't working. I left as early as possible, just before 9, and there were still people turning up. Remind me never to go to anything like that again.
And on the 28th Marie, AJ and I went to see The Tempest at Monash. It was really well done. The guy who played Prospero was great, and they did magic tricks throughout the play. I want to learn how to do magic tricks now :P
Sam got a dog, a 9 month old rotweiler called Phoebe, so I'm helping him to train her every Tuesday now.
On the 4th was AJ's "surprise" party at my place. Jess and Josh turned up early with cupcakes, so we decided to stick the candles in them - but they wouldn't stay in their holders. So we melted wax into the holders first. That was so much fun that when other people turned up, I had to make them go outside to burn a musk sick. It didn't work very well, mainly because the match boxes were crap and the one lighter dad found was broken. I did discover that you can melt musk sticks in the microwave, however, and then they taste like lollipops. Kudos to Marie for bringing musk sticks :)
We moved to the bottom room, in theory to play a game, but in practice to spend a while popping balloons.
I shall continue this account later, but for now I must skedaddle.
Au revoir.
Well, I only sort of died. But it was worth it.
I'm so behind in my posts. I've done a lot of stuff lately. Stuff is great. But when I do lots of stuff I don't have time to write. I'm really tired.
And omgf I'm 18 tomorrow. Which is good cos I keep on thinking 18 and now it won't be wrong. W00t.
I'll post, really ... sometime ...
Things that happened (in chronological order, and most of them on consecutive days) and which I will, at some point, hopefully write about:
- New Zealand
- Andrew's 18th
- The Results came out
- I kidnapped Marie, AJ and Josh
- Aparna's 18th
- Presentation night, after which I went to AJs house and watched Fry and Laurie
- Jess's 18th, and the wonderful floods which followed
- ADCV presentation night
- My grandma died
- Christmas lunch with the Donnelleys
- Mum and Dad went to Tassie for the funeral
- I discovered that we had the entire collection of Black Books
- AJ came over and watched it with me
- Marie and Jess came over to edit film which, as it turns out, wasn't where it was supposed to be, so we just did fun stuff instead
- Had a New Years Eve party at Jess's place and slept over, if you can call 3 hours "sleep" and not just "light nap" (which is why I am so very tired and also was the day on which it ws so damned hot. I think Jess angered a weather god. Her events keep happening on massively extreme days.)
- Went and saw Spamalot with Jess and Marie and Viv and Mum. That was today. Mum got back yesterday. And, as I said, tomorrow I'm 18 and we're going to see a movie and then do something. I don't know what. I'm getting very good at doing completely unplanned stuff.
And yeah. Stuff is great. But now that I don't have a uniform to wear 5 days a week, I am discovering that I have no clothes. I went and got some stuff today, but I'll need to go get even more stuff sometime. Stuff I can wear for summer and not boil to death. I dislike summers muchly.
And on the 14th I discover what I'm going to do for the next 4 years of my life, when the uni offers come out. Woohoo.
Sleep would be great. Sleep would be rally great right now. Au revoir.
Mum: "Do you want to drive?"
Me: "Uh ...no."
Mum: "You're going to drive."
Me: "Deja Vu ..."
So I drove to Melbourne Uni and it was all going ok because it was a Sunday morning and everyone drives like snails. At least it was until mum said "Turn" when I wasn't expecting it and I didn't and she grabbed the steering wheel to try and make me do a U-turn so I slammed on the brakes and turned off the engine. So we walked to the bakery instead, and we were almost late for the lecture.
Bharat and Andrew turned up a little late. I didn't know that they were going to be there, so that was a nice surprise. Now I want to get to Marie's party so I'm just going to skip over the day. There were 2 general english lectures that weren't very helpful, then one one Romulus and then one on Lantana - the lecturer was amazingly insightful and I learned a lot.
It ended at 4:30 so we decided to go home instead of driving straight there. Josh asked me what the dress code was, and seeing as Andrew and Bharat had already asked I decided I should probably call Marie. She thought I said address code, but that was useful anyway for programming the thingy that tells us where to go so I didn't tell her, and I just asked what we were meant to wear and she said "Whatever the hell you want, what the hell?!". Which wasn't very helpful. She'll read this. Meh. Luv ya Maaarie ;p And then Bharat called and asked when we'd pick him up, and I said about 15 minutes and he was like "aww ... so I don't have time for a nap ...?"
I wondered how he got my number but then I read Marie's post, so all is explained.
I'm so manic depressive. I'm trying to write things and it's all like blahabala;ahdjdfhkdfhls;alkaskdj ATTENTION ELSEWHERE but anyway I'll just switch to scipt form its easier
And we found his house because we had the doodad that tells us where to go.
Me: "Hello."
Bharat: "You're not wearing any shoes ..."
Me: "Shoes are over-rated."
Bharat: "Ah ..."
(In the car) Me: "Mum, you can progam the doodad that tell you where to go now."
Mum: "Mmm, mmm."
Bharat: "Doodad? Oh! You have one of those doodads."
Me: "Yup."
And we got there a little early and Marie was waiting, and our seats had name tags. NAMETAGS OMG SQUEE! Jess stole Josh's and pretended she was him, but she didn't spontaneously hug me nearly enough. Bharat decided to burn the names, so we all did because we're all insane pyromaniacs and it was AWESOME.
We were brought pumpkin and onion and cream soup and wine. Bharat poured aome wine and said "It smells dodgy ..." and then he drank some and nearly spat it out. I wish I'd had a camera. But no-one, it seems, had thought that far ahead. Andrew did have his mobile though. I hope he got some incriminating videos of Marie. If he did, it might be a bit shaky though ... he got completely drunk. Apparently the soup was spiked. I got a *bit* tipsy off it too. I only went dancing around with no shoes laughing my head off and nearly falling over a couple of times, that's pretty good, really ... although I've forgotten most of the night. Particulary Marie's photos. Complete mental blank ... at least I didn't wake up with a goat. I don't think so, anyway ... :|
Eventually everyone had turned up and we went to go get food. I got cheese AND beans! I was so happy. That's like, the best dinner EVER. The band was playing kiddy songs and Andrew and I were clapping our hands and singing along "Elmo wants to be a chicken, Elmo wants to be a duck, quack quack quack quack!!!" and "You put your right hand in, you put your right hand out, you put your right hand in and you shake it all about ..." and when it got up to "right leg in" Jess took her leg off and literally put her right leg in. LMAO, such a classic.
We went upstairs for seconds. I got sausage and more cheese and ... actually, I don't remember. Oops. At least I was mildly better than Marie, who was at that point struggling not to fall down the stairs. "I'm NOT DRUNK! I'm just a little dizzy. And a bit nauseous. And a bit tipsy. I'M NOT DRUNK!" She was getting more than a few raised eyebrows.
Then the lights went down and there was a show, singing and dancing and hitting on waitresses. He said "And now I need some little children to help me ring my bells" We all turned and pointed at Marie. "Yes you! The little girl at the back!" when she did get up (swearing profusely the whole way) he looked a little taken aback. "I think the little girl is bigger than I thought ..." and he gave her a bell and passed the other bells around and for the very smallest bell he chose ... a big fat old man. Hehe. As Maire tested her bell Fritz said "I think the lady is shaking a bit more than the bell ... I see she has experience with these things!" And they made a song and then the bell ringers got lollypops. (Sauerkraut flavour, he assured us.) When the time came again for chosing audience members, Maire hid under the table, but just as he came by she asked (slurred) "'sit safe now??" and we said "No." and she stood up and he grabbed her and took her down. They were supposed to Yodel. No one could yodel. When it came to Marie she went "warble warble SKREEEEETCH!!!!!", causing everyone in the resteraunt to flinch away. The last time she did it she fully screamed. Then they offerend them drinks ... a choice between butterscotch Schnapps or "vodka and orange without the vodka". One guess what Marie chose. She swigged it then nearly choked. Ha ha ha. But that wasn't the end of it. Oh wait, I was eating dessert at this stage ... oh well. Blame it on the soup. They called people up and asked where they were from, then sang songs which were supposedly from there. The japanese song contained the lyrics "konichiwa", "wax on" and "mitsubishi". Marie said she was half french, and they sang something that had Maries dad in stitches. when they went back and asked what her other half was, she said "asian" and then nearly fell over laughing. One of the men said he was Bohemian, so they sang "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts ..."
erm
teehee
They sent the people back to the tables but they weren't quite done. He looked around and saw Bharat and said "And where are you from?"
Bharat: "The United States".
The guy was seriously taken aback. It was hilarious.
Guy: (in american accent) "The United States?"
Bharat: "Yeh ... of America ..."
Guy: "Whereabouts in America?"
Bharat: "Near Michigan."
Guy: (Pauses. Tries again.) "So what's your heritage?"
Bharat: "Indian"
Guy (visibly relieved) starts singing something from Pakistan.
Marie seemed alarmingly drunk at this stage. She proved that she could answer questions about literature in french, but she couldn't quite make it up the stairs without needing support. Her dad sked if she wanted anything, and she said "BEER!!" and we said "No, don't, she's drunk ..." so he went off and came back with a litre of beer in a mug. Jesus christ almighty. She had a handful of straws and offered them around. JR and William each took one, and she looked at the 3 in her hand and said "OK I'll just drink with all of these then ..." I quickly snatched one away. She tried some.
Marie: "Mmm, it's good beer."
Will: "That's not how you drink! I'll show you how to drink."
Marie: "Ooooh, don't challenge me!"
At this point we all realised that there was going to be a drinking competition and started to get worried.
JR tried a bit an then passed it to Will, who downed an alarming amount.
Will "I'm happy I can drink lots of alcohol."
Me: "Your liver probably isn't."
Will: "Touche." and then he went and drank another huge amount. As the mug passed between Marie and Will, emptying alarmingly fast, Marie's mum started to hover, eventually swooping down and snatching it away from her. "That's enough! Don't be like him, you're not used to drinking so much."
Marie: "He's only 17."
Kunneary (visibly alarmed) Walks off with beer.
We decided that it was time to bring on the cake. It took quite a lot of running around but eventually we had plates, knife, and cake with candles burning. Marie was a bit out of it. She didn't seem to look at Mr Burns (Mr Smithers sadly having died of mushiness the night before) until we mentioned that he had a saphire eye. At which point she mauled the cake and removed its eye. We gave her the knife to cut the cake, but she started waving it alarmingly close to us. Bharat and I both lunged for it and removed it forcibly. The cake was surprisingly good. Mmm, dalek ...
Mum came in and had some too. Then Jess and I went down to dance amongst all the old people.
When we came back up everyone was gone. Kunneary said they'd gone outside, but we couldn't see them. Luckilly I remembered Andrew saying that they had found a playground earlier, so we went down and there they all were, balancing (some more easily than others) on the seesaw. We played around for a while, taking turns at gladiator wrestling and going on the swings. Josh went off and found a cabin-and-slide thing, then announced that it was full of spiders webs. I found little fluffy things on the roof so I picke one up and said "Want a spider?" and then threw it at him. The screams were most satisfying. I then went and did the same thing to Marie. Her screams were even more amusing. I threw them at a lot of people, actually. And even though they knew what they were, they still jumped. People are fun. And we recited shakespeare and forgot the lines and broke into song, then yelled lines from Charlie the Unicorn and then, sadly, it was time to go home. We drove back Jess and Bharat and it was surprisingly hard to get to sleep that night, even though I was dead tired. Good times, good times.
Oh and the next day was lectures on texts at school. Mr Mascarenas (how the hell do you spell that?) is such a narrow minded stupid prick who thinks the sun shines out every orifice ...
Never mind. At least I had been to a good lecture on Lantana already. Mr Bryson talked about Romulus and Curious, and also a lot about general essay writing. He was really good. I enjoyed that.
I will now proceed to copy things from MSN convos, because I simply cannot be bothered typing any more.
Knight of Ni says (6:41 PM):
I fell asleep on the bus coming home. Very bad idea. I woke up with half my body numb and the impression of the seat on my forehhead
bharat says (6:41 PM):
numb?
Knight of Ni says (6:41 PM):
the half of me that was numb was the Good Side - I went completely evil and ATE THE BUS DRIVER
bharat says (6:42 PM):
ate?!
Knight of Ni says (6:42 PM):
lol (yeh, numb. Like when you sit on your foot for a while and you can't feel it any more. I do that a lot.)
bharat says (6:42 PM):
oh, right
and what do you mean by 'eat'?
Knight of Ni says (6:43 PM):
Go look it up in the dictionary
ew
no
I was joking. ner.
Knight of Ni says (6:44 PM):
but seriously, I must have looked pretty scary, cos when I got off everyone on the bus was staring at me really strangely
or maybe I was talking in my sleep ... I do that a lot too
bharat says (6:44 PM):
oh wow
have fun last night/
except i have no recollection of more than half the evening
Knight of Ni says (6:44 PM):
apparently one time when I was sleeping over at Jess's I was asleep and I said "Why do I want to kiiiiiilll everybodyyyy?"
she's never let me live that down.
And I went and saw a movie on Tuesday. Here, have a thoroughly confusing synopsis.
Knight of Ni says (9:12 PM):
the main character was a guy living in india running an orphanage
Knight of Ni says (9:13 PM):
and then he gets called to denmark by this rich man who wants to donate money
Knight of Ni says (9:14 PM):
and then the character discovers that the man's 20-something-year-old daughter is actually his
(we assume that the man had planned it, cos he was dying of cancer or somesuch)
Fruit says (9:14 PM):
o ok
Knight of Ni says (9:14 PM):
anyway, it was interesting
Knight of Ni says (9:16 PM):
but sad, because the guy has to live in denmark or he doesn't get the money, and he has to leave behind all the kids including the boy who he raised like his son
Fruit says (9:16 PM):
what did he end up doing?
Knight of Ni says (9:16 PM):
my mouse just died. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. That's 3 just TODAY
He stayed in Denmark
Knight of Ni says (9:17 PM):
with his daughter
stupid mouse
Fruit says (9:17 PM):
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE
bharat says (9:17 PM):
hahahahahahaha
Fruit says (9:17 PM):
o.O
okay I think you can safely ignore the last bit.And on wednesday we had talks about what to do in the english exam, and it was really good but it ended early so I went to the Glen with Marie to save her from having to be alone with William.
Okay I think I finally reached the end of what I absolutely had to say so I can press SAVE!!! WHEE!!!
