MELodrama wants to be a PIRATE!

Recently I watched Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest. Now I'm reading some of the books my mum borrowed for my brother about a female pirate (yes very juvenile). I have noticed that all the female heroines get hot husbands/fiances so I have decided to be a pirate after I graduate from High School. What's wrong with that? It'd be so cool!

Why is it that females always get sucked in by romance novels? I mean, Life is constantly giving us proof fairy tales do not exist and yet we read that rubbish and cry every single time. I am living proof! Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is good, a must read! Right now, I'm about to start reading The Quiet American by Graham Greene. Wow, too many literature classes, I actually enjoy Shakespeare! Well, I haven't read too much of his work, just Julius Ceasar, Macbeth and now Hamlet. I plan to read more though, Shakespeare is very poetic. Bring on the classics!

Can't remember much of what I did today. In between double Chinese period 3 and 4, Chan, Ying, Rowena and I went to the toilet. On the way back, I was copying Dorothy from Wizard of Oz; clicking my heels and saying "there's no place like home" over and over again in a crappy American accent. Don't ask why, I don't even know. Anyway, I twisted my ankle which just goes to show that people who can't walk in a straight line without hurting themselves should never attempt to jump in the air, click their heels and expect to land on their feet (or become a pirate).

At lunch I was in the YEAR TWELVE common room and someone came in about half way through. I'm trying to avoid him because I think he's STALKING me. I thought I'd be fairly safe in the common room because this person isn't supposed to be allowed in. I pretended to sleep, but that was uncomfortable to I went up to the library where I knew he wouldn't go, I have a sneaking suspicion this person is illiterate. Just kidding. When I came back, he was STILL in the common room. Gaah, eventually he went away. But OH NO! I had double lit with him next. I was innocently reading Hamlet, getting pretty caught up in the story when Tara loudly said "he keeps looking at you". After that, I found it impossible to concentrate, I felt like a bug under a magnifying glass. Double lit is torture sometimes, I'd rather not know things like that thank you very much. Ignorance is bliss.

YAY! My brother's school won bronze medal in the chess competition today! He won 5 out of 7 games! My brother is awesomely smart! :)

With love,
Mel
