So here I am. Sorry I missed yesterday, but it was hectic. Strangely enough, even though I profess to hate going to music and that I want to quit it, I feel so much better after a music lesson than I do after an afternoon at home. Even if I am dog tired. Weird. Oh well.

Today was okay. Afrikaans was really boring. Biology was very boring too. We got our results and went through the tests. We were on the subject of red blood corpuscles and someone mentioned a vampire for some reason. Which made me wonder whether the blood of people with more erythrocytes would taste different to those with less. I asked the teacher and her opinion is that it probably will. Everyone looked at me strangely for quite some time afterwards. *shrug*

Maths was okay. Yesterday, I discovered that the teacher had made a mistake with the mark allocation which means that everyone got more for their exams. She marked the exam as though it was out of 100, when it was actually out of 84. Which reusulted in me being quite popular with the rest of the class (since those who failed previously now passed) and unpopular with her. Today she was dissing us quite badly, asking us a question and when we can’t answer her, then she’d say ‘Your marks are too high. Much too good’ in her cute Russian accent. Even though she was making idiots of us all, we still love her though : P She’s a sweetheart.

/me grins

English was way boring. So boring that my desk started looking very plain and empty, so it got a makeover. I can only draw two things: aliens and candles on fingers. So my english desk was the lucky winner of an alien drawing. The teacher will probably only notice the vandalism in a couple of days’ time. *shrug again*

Just got back from the library. Honestly, there is practically no good fiction in there. After browsing through there for like an hour, I finally discovered a set of three shelves with interesting books on them. Three shelves, for crying out loud! Out of the whole freaking library. *sigh* Oh well. I now have some pretty good books. An Eragon book. A couple of Robin Hobbs books. And some other sci-fi/mystery books.

Leon gets back tomorrow. The poor guy was booked off sick for the past week. Flu or something I think. I still wear the little ring thingy. And I got a silver one from my sister. So now I wear two. *grin* They saved me from a burnt hand the other day. We have a little fireplace/stove in the living room. I was playing around with it’s lid and accidently dropped it on my hand. Thankfully, the rings saved me from getting too burnt. lol. Who says jewelry is only for the vain : P

Kyle, the new dude in our class has been trying to figure me out all week. Unsuccessfully though. I think he’s trying to fit me into a mould or something. I don’t generally do very well with moulds though. lol. It’s absolutely hilarious the way I puzzle him.

I still havent been back on PS. I don’t know when I plan on going back. My mind isn’t any clearer. Maybe by next week. Maybe. It’s all just so confusing. *sigh* I think that one day I should get a job that doesn’t involve any people. People are what make your life complicated. If there weren’t any people then life would be so much easier. Don’t go and analyze that, I know that what I’m saying doesn’t make sense and isn’t practical. But still. Without other people, I wouldn’t have nearly so many problems. But whatever. I’ll just have to deal. The way I always do.

I have seriously been considering letting my marks die a miserable death. Who cares anyway. I’ll make sure I pass and keep my Maths and Science high enough to get somewhere, but, quite honestly, who cares.

My friends and I were standing around during break today and one of them mentioned that she didn’t like quiet people. She thinks that they are evil and are always just listening to everything and learning it or plotting something. Also that ’still waters run deep.’ Maybe she’s right. Nah, I don’t think I’m evil though. The rest might be true though. *evil grin* On a more serious note though, the whole little quote thing is very very true. My life could seem quite perfect. But it is soo not. If only they knew. But whatever.

Hey all

So. This is my first proper post on this blog, the others were all construction notices or were brought over from Blogger. Now, for some ranting…

Pfft. I’m sure I’ve mentioned at some stage that I want an older brother. What? I haven’t mentioned it before? Well, now you know. I’ve always wanted an older brother. But pfft to that. Quite frankly, I have decided that there are more than enough guys around to irritate me as is.
This morning, I was still in bed around 11:30 due to my browsing and rping habits. Of course though, I can’t be left alone to sleep in peace can I? … There’s a knock on my door. Knowing that it’s Leon, I shout a very clear no. Which, of course, he ignores and he enters without further ado. Then, he has the cheek to ask whether I’m asleep.
There I am, in pajamas, with my hair wild, very barely awake, and he just strolls in there. So me, being very sweet, says “Well, um, duh. I am now.” He laughs and says he just wanted to say hello, sits down and tells me about the weather or something and walks out again.
Being the weird person that I am, I couldn’t go back to sleep again, so I got up, went to the mirror and started brushing my hair. The fact that he left my room doesn’t mean that he won’t come back in and, typically, he promptly does so. All I can say is that I am very thankful that it is winter here and that I was not wearing my summer pajamas…which are very… not lacey exactly, but…you get the idea.

Later, when I was more awake and in a better mood, he came back and we started chatting. He had picked up a small, golden ring outside that used to come on the top of a pipe or something and I jacked it from him first chance I got. He threatened to take the harmonica that lies on my desk when I wouldn’t give him the ring back, but of course he didn’t. So now I have a cute little ring that only comes up to my finger’s first joint. But it looks cool enough.

I have decided that I really should go back to school. You see, school has two purposes:
1. To keep us all from turning into pleasantly numb vegetable (see previous posts) and
2. To keep us from figuring out how to overthrow the government and/or achievie world domination.
I was suffering from the former yesterday. Well, actually, suffer isn’t quite the right word. I enjoy it whole heartedly. And the latter today. Maybe not world domination just yet… but I was thinking about whether mercury could be used to induce insanity. I heard that from somewhere and I was wondering whether you would need continuous doses or just once-off. I mean, if you wanted to ruin someone in power’s reputation by making him seem crazy…Don’t worry though. Apparently, it doesn’t make you crazy, exactly, it just builds up inside you (since it’s a heavy metal or something) and then you eventually get cancer and die. After messing you up. Not that I was actually planning on using it even if it would have worked. I’m not that messed up. But now you see why school had better start pretty soon. Even though I love the whole go-to-bed-at-7-in-the-morning-and-get-up-at-12 thing. Pity it doesn’t work during school. But whatever. A lot safer that way.

Might post again later. After all, the night is still young. It’s only 11:30…
