Festivynessness..........
Well, my drama class (also kiss_my_ass_bunny's and kestra's (mainly kestra's) drama class) had its christmas party on Saturday...which was a lot of fun.
We were on stage in the theatre, dancing around and having fun, with very little light. I spent most of the time either poking one of my friends or running around to people and saying "Are you festive?!?!?" and then running off. Which was weird, as I never get hyper. EVER. Anyway, something happened afterwards, and it was something I would normally make a big deal out of, but I didn't even remember it. So until I inform my two best friends, it shall not grace this blog.
After getting home from drama, I watched War of the Worlds. Now let me say: it IS a good movie. It had me up til the end. But overall not a bad film.
On Friday, my year had a career/personality test. It asked what careers I liked. Which instantly drew my scepticism, as the teachers wouldn't care what I liked or not... So I put as careers I liked: Actor, comedian, assassin, writer. For disliked I put teacher and priest. Considering that my school is rather religious, and I have to have a one-on-one interview with the guy who's marking these papers, I should be in a tiny bit of trouble. :)
Lets see, what other news do I have? Well, the show I'm in goes on in....just under three weeks... so yeah, I'm terrified... but it will be fun... I hope I don't screw up...
Anyway, I'm just happy at the moment. Christmas should be fun: I'm getting a really awesome pendant that just looks so cool. I just have to figure out what to get my friends....easier said than done...hmm...

Warm and fuzzy.....
Sometimes, when I'm having a really lousy day, like the kind where everything goes wrong and my friends are all away on holidays, I find something that just makes me warm and fuzzy:

A word-for-word extract from an article regarding lowering the age of consent for girls:

"Mr McDowell described that as 'a very strange situation', and vowed to discuss changing the age at which girls can legally have intercourse with the gardaì and the Director of Public Prosecutions."

It's times like this that I just have to smile....ah....good times... :)
Anyway, today I got back my English paper. I got 78%. Okay I guess. I don't know about the other exams yet.
I'm feeling really nervous about the play I'm in...it goes on in a month, so I'm really scared..... *gulp*

Mwahahaha fear my Caligradeath!!!!!
Okay, I was so annoyed this morning. I put my money into the ticket machine for the Luas. It didn't recognise that I put it in. So I lost my money. I had to run back home, search for coins, run back out, try to fix the lock which had somehow broken between the time I locked it and the time I got back in, then run back to the Luas, get on it, and get to school late.
Then I had Japanese. We had to do Caligraphy. And we had to do one symbol, from the ones the teacher had provided (happiness, love, mother, father, cat, etc.). So I asked her how to write "Death" and "Darkness" (lol) and she laughed and walked off. And I was like "umm, I was serious...get back HERE!!!" So she showed me how to write them, and I wrote death on a sheet of paper. We had to hand up our best ones, so I handed up "Death" and she was like "I cannot display this!!!" and I was like "why not?" and she just said "It is death!!! I can't display this in a SCHOOL!!!" So I had to draw another....and she looked so freaked when I came up with the death symbol. I mean, it seemed to me that something happened when I drew it. I mean, there was a screaming wind, the lights flickered, the character I had drawn squirmed on the page, and the vice principal walked in. "Sir, do you have to do that EVERY time you check the absent list?" She acted as though I had unleashed some kind of evil demon... like the thing in the Grudge, or the Ring....
I was kinda sad today though, because my friend Harry is gone for a few weeks to Australia, so I won't see him until the new year. But he promised to bring me back a pink and purple wombat! YAY!!! All fear the almighty wombat, who knows all and sees all!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
*ahem* Anyway, other than that, not much is going on with me. I have work experience in a few months, and I'm going to apply at a few places: the two main theatres in Dublin, a few video game stores, and any store for the occult I can find. I asked the Transition Year co-ordinator today if the school would have any objection against students working in certain places and he said "No, the school are very accepting about these things" and I was like "okay, because I was interested in working in a sotre for the occult" and he just stared at me and said "the school would have a problem with that". Damn.....ah well, I'll apply anyway, who knows? :) It should be fun, I hope....lol....

Cursive writing. You're kidding right?
Nope. Today, my class was given a talk in english on why cursive writing is useful. Because it goes from left to right. As opposed, of course, to printing, where you write from top to bottom....I mean, come on!!!! We're in Fourth Year!!!! This is just insulting!!!! Tomorrow we get to learn about the letter "A". Sigh.,..
And I fell asleep in music class. A few times..... luckily I sit at the back of the class. I've been doing this more and more, in english and careers usually....I mean, I was actually asleep in English one day, and got asked a question. I woke up (fortunately) and somehow managed to handle the question. Which I got right, even though I hadn't studied. "B comes after A, Miss!" Damn straight....
Then in art we were told "We are going to watch some Irish animations over the next few weeks, leading up to Christmas (translation - I'm too lazy to teach you). Today we will look at Picasso." Yeah.....Picasso was Irish. His name was Picass O'Neil. But he dropped the Neil. Gospel.....
So I find myself the only one in school not getting into the Christmas spirit.....maybe I'm only just becoming aware of how done to death it is.... and becoming the jaded, cynical, teenage goth everyone thinks I am....lol.....

YAAAAAY!!!!!
OH MY GOD!!! I am so happy right now because I learnt that my favourite online comic is becoming an online animated series!!! YAAAAY!!!!! Okay, Sam, deep breath....
Anyways, other than that... I had the oddest question in my French exam: If they earn 1650 (or something like that) Francs, what is that equal to in Irish Pounds?
WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!?!?!?!???! THE POUND AND FRANC HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE MARKET TOGETHER FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS (don't know the exact date but....)!!!!!! They better not take marks off for that..... I doubt they would but you never know......
And I have sailing today so I am happy...YAY!

How do I hate thee, oh math? Let me count the ways....
I had my exam in math today. Now lets get one thing clear. I hate math. It is my worst subject. I suck at it, but no matter how much I tell people that they DON'T BELIEVE ME!!!! Gaah..... and yet for some reason I am in the top math class. I dunno.... maybe they had a student lottery or something and some moron put my name in as a joke. I probably only just passed.

On the plus side, I had a computers exam afterwards. I probably would have finished in less than half an hour... if the supervisor hadn't ignored when I had my hand up (which I had to do in order to request permission to print stuff...yay...). But I think I aced it. Yay me.

Not much other news with me. I finally got to the last level of Knights of the Temple, and let me say that although it is mindless violence (ONE puzzle thats hard, and its insanely hard. This makes the da Vinci code look like something they use for the amusements on the back of cereal packets) it is fun. Mainly because you're sort of fighting the church....for God....its confusing, but as long as I get to hack apart evil, crazy priests I'm happy :) The game is fun, and only seems long because of how many times you have to try to beat one puzzle (you have to rotate various gears, and if you over-rotate one by one degree, you screw up the ENTIRE puzzle, and have to start the level again), but in actual fact its kinda short.

Oh, and I got to see another episode of the new Yu-Gi-Oh series today. Quite good, I thought. One thing I have to ask though. Given that some people think that Bakura and the Pharoah are hot, does anyone else think that putting the Pharoah in skimpy clothes, and Bakura in boxers and a dressing gown might be a ploy to increase ratings? You never know....

Eeewww.....its still all slimy......
Okay, well I had a good then awful weekend. But I won't go into that. Anyway... I was pleased this week by seeing a couple of episodes of the new yugioh series (this is probably only new to Ireland) but I have to say it was good. I was terrified that they were scraping the bottom of the villain barrel with Grand Championship, but it seems that things are picking up! The new series is really good, and I look forward to seeing more of it. Let me just say something: in the second (or maybe third) episode, Kaiba gets the millenium eye. And holds it. Does no one else find it SLIGHTLY disgusting that he's fondling something that used to be jammed into Pegasus's head? I mean, maybe its just me but if I was Kaiba I'd just be like "Hmm, this was stuck in a guy I don't like's eye socket and was used to steal my soul (even if it was just a cheap trick)... Sure, I'll hold it!!!" Maybe if they just had a Millenium Contact Lens or something it might be a wee bit better. You wouldn't have to be missing an eye to use one. Unless of course the Eye somehow doesn't require you to have a missing eye. I don't know, as I didn't see the first couple of series (or to be more specific, I didn't see much of them)...

Turn around....
Okay, I've decided that I have to be happier... I've been moping for the last two weeks about the girl I like... I just have to accept that there's a high chance it won't work out....but I think I still have to tell her...
Now, when I say I have to be happier, I don't been bouncing around the halls of the school greeting everyone. I mean, I'll listen to what I normally listen to, act how I usually act, but I'll STOP MOPING!!!
Also, I have to stop giving a damn about school. I'll try to get my work done, but you know what? I quit acting all good. I spent all of last year being a good, honest, hard-working student, and I was honoured in the same way as a kid who got detention at least once a month, who got talked back to teachers every day, and who never had his work done. But in the eyes of the school, I am the same as him. So why should I try to put up with teachers, when they don't give a damn? Today, I got sent out of class when one of my peers what the hell he was doing by throwing dried (slightly rotting too, I think) on my book. I was like "what the hell?" and got sent out for talking. But it was business class, a class that I shall drop like a pissed-off sea urchin once I get into fifth year.
So I'm not putting up with the fakeness of school anymore. If you don't like it, tough.

Deck the hal.......what the?!?
Okay, I am getting so sick of this....advertising christmas the day after halloween. Yes, it is almost two weeks since halloween... and already I am getting sick of it....
On the plus side, error and I are planning a Chrismukah party. We both like the OC, so it was a natural idea. Also, I have to congratulate Brown Thomas for their amazing Christmas display. Anything that gothic deserves praise. Even if it is in the window of a store that I can't help but laugh at (€70 for a pair of socks?!? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!).
On the down side, I won't be able to get what I really want for Christmas...an Xbox 360. Instead I'll probably get a couple of CDs.
