Sleepy days

It's the day before Anzac Day! Though I really appreciate the fact that we have a day off tomorrow, but I would gladly trade in my day off for the lives of all those soldiers that died.

Had a math test and Chinese SAC today. Pretty sure I failed the test because I didn't bother to study. The SAC was okay because we'd done it before.

Double lit was alright. We had to read Hamlet aloud. I'm King Claudius. I've noticed that I always end up voicing the evil/dubious characters. In our previous play Cosi, I read Cherry's part. Last year, I read Lady Macbeth from (obviously) Macbeth. I'm not too good, stumbling on the awkwardness of Shakespeare's language but it's actually quite fun. Then things started getting sexual. Sebastien is in our class and he twists all the words so they have sexual connotations. "He's French..." said Mr Charls. Too bad he's got the part of Hamlet, we'll have to endure at least another week of his disgusting comments. The sickness caught on and everyone was laughing at dirty jokes. Eg. "His father got laid six feet under" "EW!!"

Aaanyway, after school I went to buy Vincent's birthday present from MSY in Box Hill. He wanted a gaming keyboard...so everyone pitched in and bought it for him. Seriously, males are so weird. Chris and Mouse came with me, Mouse left and Chris waited with me for Vincent and his friends to arrive. I met Vincent in the food court, then we walked to near the escalators and met Jonno! Very coincidental. I thought he was with this girl who kept saying "Melissa!...Melissa?" I didn't recognize her so I kind of just waved and said hi. She was like "don't you remember me?" and I was like..."uh...no." Turns out she was a primary school friend, and I actually DID remember her, but she looked so different! The world is so small, I keep bumping into people, quite literally because I'm very unco. Vincent and Mateuyaz (or something like that) walked me home.

At home, I attempted some homework then got ready to go to Vincent's birthday party. He's so YOUNG! Dinner was okay. Dropped food on myself, dropped my chopsticks and nearly got poked in the eye but other than that it was quite fun! Went to Safeway to get food then went to Vincent's house. My dad came and drove us back there for cake, then he wouldn't leave.

Everyone sat around singing and listening to music. After an hour and a half of that we went out to the park (around 11ish) and tried to make a sparkler bomb. Vincent and I had a race, James was in the race too but his pants fell down so he was disqualified. We hid behind and tree and scared people that walked past. Then James decided to pee behind a tree, which would have been fine if the tree wasn't ON A ROUND-A-BOUT in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! That boy is very qi guai I tell you. After the sparkler bomb, everyone started leaving. Jonno wanted to stay longer (because he's a pyromaniac and wanted to see the big bomb) but in the end we just left. Drove him home...and nearly ran over his letterbox. I'm home now and really tired so GOODNIGHT!

With love,
Mel
