'and the aptly named Sir Not-appearing-in-this-film...'

Well, yesterday was awesome. I had a great time at work, I couldn't believe it when I relised my shift was over, everything had zipped by so quickly.

In the last 10 minutes of my shift or so, Emily wanders in, and we talked for a little bit, while Geoff [Workmate] stood behind her, giving me meaningful looks and mouthing 'Who's she.'

So hard not to laugh, lol.

So she left and Geoff gave me another one of the looks, and I just laughed at him and said, 'she's just a friend from school.' I probably should have added, 'and no, you can't go out with her.'

lol

After I'd finished, I wandered up to the BCC movie thingy to get picked up, and who should walk past but marbar. He invited me to go bumming around Toowoomba with him and Emily, so I did. Dad was happy to give me money [but I have to pay him back now that I have a job, lol] and agreed to pick me up later.

So we wandered around for a while, went to Garden Town and found out that marbar's head is too small for normal people's glasses. Ha, kid's section.

*cough*

^_^;;

Bah. I just get on to type this after doing the dishes and Dad gets home and tells me to, 'Do the washing, hang it out, vacuum the house, tidy the house, wash the floors, dry the dishes, tidy the house and then mow the lawn'

Wow, gee, thanks.

Anyhow, moving on [Now that I've got all of the chores done].

I had the weirdest combination of dreams last night. The cast of last night's performance consisted soley of year 12 Downlands students, friends and acquaintances.

I have a vague recollection of the evening. As far as I can tell, it started off with a crazy match of indoor Skirmish, except we had muskets and the guns were hopelessly innacurate. For most of it I spent my time behind a concrete wall that strangely reminded me of 'Hang 'em High' on Halo.

For some reason marbar was there, and we basically complained about how crap the guns were and that we needed our money back. And then somehow I managed to turn mine into a highly innacurate semi-automatic...

Something about parking a car that was directly linked to another so that when one car did something, the other did the same...

Okay, so the previous two ones weren't that strange, but the main dream [the one I remember the most of] was crazy [note the bold type].

For some reason I was in the New Mombasa map of Halo 2 the area where you have to hold position with Sarge. So I'm standing around there, holding a toy that shoots foam discs, for no apparent reason.

There's a lot of people there, all year 12's from school, dressed in the uniform. I state something along the lines of 'this gun is crap, anyone got a battle rifle?'

So I'm running around looking for something, for some reason looking for the 'X button' to appear so I can trade weapons.

lol

There's more.

I manage to make my way to the middle level of the tower, and look out to see that the adobe area of New Mombasa has been combined with Downlands College...and instead of the Covenant attacking, it's [don't ask me why, I haven't read any of the Tales of the Otori for a while] a Samuri Army.

What. The. Hell.

lol

All these Downlands Students are standing out on the grass, facing the swimming pool, while all these Samuri footsoldiers try to attack them.

So I'm running around, and Zoe of all people [Acquaintance, rarely speak to, but she's nice], gives me a dirty great sniper rifle.

'Here you go, I don't know how to use it.'

I pull it out of the cardboard box [Why? Why?] and I find that, while it does look proficient, it's missing a scope and ammunition. I ask why they're missing, and she responds,

'Well my sister was in the car, and I didn't have time to grab them'

'Hello? Apocalypse!'

So I give it back to her and run downstairs to find Nick Adams cleaning and polishing the original 12.7mm scoped Pistol from Halo...during a Maths B lesson. I go to snatch it, and he says 'no, bugger orf, get your own.'

My response, 'Master Chief gets all the guns and armour he wants..'

The Quest continues. I wander out onto the campus, past the Graham Centre [still holding the foam disc thing] and past a defensive line of students on the steps. I break into a run, and see about five men on horseback, with another on horseback at the top of the steps with a flag.

Yay! Samuri!

I spray the discs at them, ineffectively, and, not surprisingly, run like crazy.

I go back to the defensive line to swap weapons, only to find that they're armed with halberds and 16th century cannons.

I turn around and run, somehow leaping into the ceiling, while all these guys on horses and full samuri armour look up at me. And for some obscure reason, Fr Uhr is wandering aimlessly between them.

And so I start throwing 'grenades,' which basically consist of red flour bombs, which do nothing. And then suddenly I through a frag, which bounces off the guys armour, and gets stuck to his horse. It explodes, and Fr Uhr somehow bounces to safety.

I can't remember the rest, but yeah, crazy. Oh and I swear Bismarck was there, holding a 16th century full-size cannon.

Goin' to play Morrowind
