My life down to a series of doodles

This topic came about during Chinese school when I wrote "AI" on my paper. The guy sitting next to me probably thought I was in love with him and he asked me about it; so I wrote something to go with it. Some of the people who actually read this will probably recognize it's 'style' (I have a STYLE!) because I always write in their exercise books - if I see blank paper and they are unlucky enough to sit next to me when I'm bored. Just ask Ying and Tara, I'm always bored in biology or methods, their books/folders/diarys have a lot of my writing and terrible art in them. Anyway, here are samples from this year and last year by various artists, but mostly me:

Universal Language of LOVE (down the bottom) [Chinese, 2007]

Formal preparation, the "Sack-religious" line designed by and for Garbahge (that's SO patented) - winter season [Chinese, 2006]

Bottom left, my design for Garbahge, Refrigerato line (Models: Chris and Nhu). Middle - Nhu's drawing of me. Top right - Ying's drawing of herself in a watermelon suit, designer Garbahge. In the bottom right there was also my drawing of Alvin in a mankini, but that was sensored (mercilessly erased) after several complaints [Chemistry, 2007]

Classic! Nhu, Chris and Mr Flavell. I love how Mr. Reynolds kept correcting and even told me he liked it, that guy has a sense of humour :) [Physics, 2006]

My moment of panic [Physics, 2006]

My cool margin, also read the pro-social behaviors down the bottom, we were so bored [Psychology, 2006]

After Chinese School I went to Simon's birthday lunch. Man, felt so out of place! The food was good and I was SO not late. After lunch we followed Drexel and Vincent to Carrington St then dangerously crossed busy roads to get to Crepelato. Sat at the back of the shop and James played with his pubes. VERY INAPPROPRIATE! All I wanted was an ice-cream and I left with enough scars to last a lifetime.

After we got sick of sitting around, we went to Box Hill Gardens and played on the playground. I had a mild sense of deja vu, except this time Ros wasn't sitting on the see-saw screaming "harder! HARDER!". To be fair, she had no idea how wrong that sounded; especially when they made a voice recording. All the males decided it would be funny to cram onto a spinner and spin around as fast as they could. They also played with ants, Simon and Matty had a competition to see how long they could keep their hand on a piece of wood with ants all over it. Boys will be boys.

I walked part of the way home with James, and you'll never guess...TATENDA! He was just getting home from work so we talked a bit. James probably felt left out and walked himself home. At home, I watched extra scenes from Pirates of the Caribbeans, had dinner, and now I'm writing this (procrastination at its finest). Did NO homework today and my conscience is making me go on one helluva guilt trip. Must do homework now...well, after I have a shower.

With love,
Mel
