   The two people who I so very much dislike were at Visual dialogues
Well, both black girls were there harassing me! Their names are Hadeena and Tarasai, and they're both 18 and thick as two short planks!
Hadeena only wants to work with clay, and Tarasai is ignorant in the fact that everything is new for her. Her accent, which is American, gets on my wick. It's not her fault, but it just does.
We were looking at the reproduction of Brain Haw's placards against the Iraq war. Here's the official URL from the Tate website. I can't remember the HTML for linking, so here's the URL http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/wallinger/
I was really impressed, and it truly shows the horrors of war. When I was being interviewed by Tarasai for the project, she was suprised when I told her that I was already aware of all this, she was suprised, like she was saying 'How dare a 15 year-old girl know more than myself on war?!'. So utterly funny! *grins*
I feel that the war is desensitised because we see it everyday, and then get on with our everyday lives. Also, Brian Haw gave up his family to be on the roundabout to oppose the war. He has now been kicked out of his sport where he lived for 5 years.
He was there before the legislation about not protesting without permission was in place. Anyone who accompanies him for too long it arrested.
Under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, no one can protest within 1 km of the houses of Parliament. The line bisects the Tate Britain. When I was telling the people at Visual Dialogues, they all looked flabbergasted, and didn't know any of this! XD
It was a good session, and the breakfast was good. I had to get there for 10am!

At the end, I was walking with this guy Ryan. He's black, got a small afro, and wears quite stylish clothes. He's 18 like all of the guys at Visual Dialogues. I'm the youngest. I'm the only person still at school! He seems fine enough- right up until he went a lit a cigarette. I didn't say anything because it was a nice day, and I could breathe (I have asthma). He was careful where he blew the smoke, so that was good. He asked the funniest question! He asked: "Where's the river Thames?"! Come on! We were walking on one road, and it was parallel to the Thames! XD I casually answered "there." indicating it with my left arm, as we were drossing the road. Then he answered, "Oh. Because I thought I'd go sightseeing" to which I smiled and shook my head.
Being around ignorant people was hell! I don't suffer fools gladly!
READ THE BLASTED THING! AND COMMENT!
