'Fined for walking slowly'

"Los Angeles: An 82-year old waman was slapped with a $US114 ($A156) ticket for taking too long to cross a street.

...

A mototrcycle policeman pounced, telling her she was obstructing traffic before writing out the fine"

Today was the athletics carnival, and so will tomorrow. I've given up on participating - if I ever thought that I had the focus to read in the midst of a crowd of hundreds - I was right. Problem was, Codey has an exceptionally irritating voice that reaches into frequencies over the P.A which drill into your skull. Really annoying.

Shaihan is the biggest clown! I wish I had my phone so I could video what he did when the topic of conversation (I use the term 'conversation' loosely- what it was, much more than anything, was the unmistakeable sound of Kelvin getting paid out) turned to his new - say, interest. OOOOOooooOOOOOOooooOOOOOoooOOOOoooh.

Anyway, that being said, Shaihan was a clown, and I wish I had footage to make a .gif set on a loop of what he did.

Shaihan: "oh kelvin! oh kelvin!"

Haha. Ah. Shaihan and his resourcefulness in turning a common sports water bottle into a instrument of absolute hilarity.

Before I leave, the Eurotrash girl tells me she likes my gazelleskin wallet. I tell her I would like to tit-f*ck her and then maybe cut her arms off, but the music, George Michael singing "Faith" is too loud and she can't hear me.


 The carnival lacked the atmosphere of calm I needed to focus on Dracula, so out of frustration i started on "American Psycho" (as you could probably tell).

Tried to find Ms. Lim all day. Tsk. Spotted her a few time on the marshalling area. Where could she have been? Need to hand her that slip. Should've done that last week...

Early morning tomorrow; going for a walk with Victor and Anthony (other grades, other people) around the CBD. I am not looking forward to ANZAC day.

I should come clean no,w Kelvin- Karen, myself and the rest of the world are all in kahootz to weedle you into believing that you are an annoying person. So nerr- Karen is not my best friend in the whole wide world (yet), Kelvin. Just because someone thinks that you might be a little annoying, doesn't mean they're my friend.
 I could go on, but I need rest.

Night.

hello people!!

hehe this is probably kelvin's one BIG mistake inviting me to write here. as you will soon see, i never shut up. LOL so.. yeah. but dont kick me out. i need someplace to rant.

anyways i dont know any of you.. BUT i probably know people who go to ur school. SO.. that means im not TOTALLY random..

um.. ok. about me.. (lol not that u actually care, but hey, whatevr..)

- i am NOT and i repeat NOT a spoilt brat .. but yeah im an only child.. like MOST asian children..

- umm.. i don't do any work.. like dude i go to FORT STREET for crying out loud. we're known for doing drugs. but im a good girl.. i dont do that kind of stuff. i want to live a long and prosperous life.

<3 karen

since this thing is kinda dying i thought i'd inject it with a couple of new authors...so:

(i dunno if they're going to write anything though)

Liya: dora will know her. lovely girl, umm...very smart? what else can i say?
Karen: humph. well. what can i say indeed? "spoilt only child who goes to fort st." probably sums it up.

so. btw, karen has her own blog so if anyone is overly bored...

so we'll see what happens...

hmmm. i have spent much too much time thinking about primary school of late... ahh primary school... memories... all those moments of pure fun and embarrasment. anyone care to reminisce? yes i know they will mean nothing to me, or to some of the others... but its always fun to do anyway... well i always think it is... some of my friends decided to remind me of this just the other day...

 ok... i remeber when a friend was getting teased by some boys for having boobs which were slightly bigger than the rest of ours and i go "i thought boys liked big jugs?!" OMG I KNOW. I WAS 12. or something. SHUT UP. hilarious right? oh man... how very embarrassing. but still funny. and the best part? or most mortifying... my friends went and told the WHOLE FRIGGING CLASS. INCLUDING THE TEACHER.

and I ACTUALLY SAID "JUGS"!! how scary. and extremely weird.

yeah, so thats one of my memories... probably one of the most prominent. how about you people? anything, anything at all....?

Tell me you didn't just laugh.

Inspiration has struck.

(This was funny before brokeback mountain)

Gay cowboys eating pudding.

Bob: "Well Dan, looks like I've finished eating my pudding."
Dan: "Me too, Bob."
Bob: "Wanna explore our sexuality?"
Dan:: "Ok."

In light of freakish twists in expectations (this is an entry on Adosie's blog detailing a conversation with Blaise) http://manga.clone-army.org/t42r.php?page=165
Various references to Japanese culture, which are still funny, even to the un-enlightened.



And if you can stomach it, http://manga.clone-army.org/t42r.php?page=160

Proposition: Find me some pictures of hot half-breeds, Kelvin. I will answer with hotter pictures of various asian girls. Stop being so shallow, kelvin. Is that all women mean to you? So shallow. Tsk. And just to get this out of the way, I am an asian supremist . Supremist, supremist, supremist. Wun do-leh (pronounced, fobbishly, one-dollar. Incidentally, this is Cantonese for the exclamation: "I have found it.") Petallisation. Petallisation, petallisation, petallisation. The act of petallising. Retainer. One who retains. :\

My maths periods are all going to waste. I can't believe I actually spent the period arguing with Kelvin.

Totally meaningless post, so I really need some sleep now. (Getting ready for bed at 8:00 pm. Wtf?)

Regardless of the extra hour, my internal clock always f*cks over whether there's an hour less or an hour more. Lack of regularity makes me tired, regardless.

Louis: "Nick has changed to engineering studies."
Frank: "What's engineering studies?"
Louis: "I think it's when they study engineering."

Phil: "Man, why is solid snake so old in the new metal gear solid?"
Me: "It's to show change! lololololololol."

Such a disappointing day for High today.  A trend developed in our results as the morning progressed with only one minor deviation:

Yr 10 2nd VIII:        Last
Yr 10 1st VIII:         6th

3rd IV:                    Last
2nd IV:                   Last
1st IV:                    Last

2nd VIII:                 Last
1st VIII:                   Last

Not good.  Not good at all.  Sadly other sports have continued the trend:

Tennis 2nds:         Last (4 points from 84)
Tennis 1sts:          Last (13.5 points from 84)

Basketball 2nds    Last
Basketball 1sts     Last (2 wins from 14)

Cricket was slightly more successful with a semi-respectable finish at around 5th.

Winter is looking even worse.  Football/soccer may improve and possibly not come last as happened last year.  However we have no chance of winning a game in 1st grade Rugby (minimum losing margin will be possibly as high as 40).  Sad times ahead and sadly my sporting ability is low so i can't help.  Couple this with rumours that Waverley College are looking to enter the GPS competition and things are not looking good for sport at High (except in Debating ;).

The new Pedigree Ad. My favourite Ad, if I ever had one (except for that Telstra ad where the kid asks his Dad why they built the Great Wall of China. "Rabbits. To ah, keep out the rabbits, son." Practically screamed bogan. Especially with the Sam Robson accent).

You know the one, white background, dogs. I didn't really pay attention to what they were saying, but someone on the Pedigree marketing team (or their advertising firm) deserves a 7 digit income for having taste in music. Cello Suite No.1 BWV 1007 by Bach. I'd recognise it anywhere. So ner, I payed attention only to the music, which is more than enough reason for it to be a favourite.

Crime of Innocence and Hostility Restrained are the same piece. :0

Ms Lim told me just before rehearsal to come to a little meeting at recess. Hmm, ok. I get a note in English to go see her at recess. Hmm, ok.

So I go to see her at recess. "Thanks, Patrick." She hands me a small box of chocolates. Hmm, ok.

Chapman is playing Benedict of the Whales with Wilson. Nothing was more hilarious (today, at any length) than the sound of Chapman making whale-noises on a trombone.

Ms Lim is too nice; that's why guys hang around in the staffroom. Take advantage of her good nature (guys taking advantage of nice girls. Some things never change.)

2 out of 3 times she has called me to a meeting, there wasn't an actual meeting. The other time was the last rehearsal of term 4 last year. Turned out she had thrown a little party for the people who turned.

Me: "Sorry, miss - I don't like sweet things."

Just came back from Dr. Du. I don't perform well under pressure...sigh. At least I got an A+ (unsurprisingly, due to a LACK OF VALERIE). I sparked Samantha's interest with my book laying face-down on the table. Time traveler's wife. (A little too smutty for my tastes.)

Frank (A quote from Frank; you should automatically associate this with humour): "You're reading Time Traveler's wife? It's a good book! You can jack off to it."

Yes frank...

I don't know many well-read girls. Which is either because I should get to know more girls, or girls these days aren't readers. I hope the former.

And Kelvin, (who insists on referring to the book as paedophilia; ignoring the deus ex machina plot device. Strangely enough, the use of it doesn't automatically imply hackneyedism. That's a word. Trust me.), ignore the fact that they 'meet' at 6 and 36. That's nothing - they marry at something like 22 and 30.

Read Lolita by Nabakov. Classic, though I wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

Must buy American Psycho and a Mario Puzo book.

Il Air sounds suspiciously like the Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet.

That's all from me. Ta.

Match report

Glorious Gunners take control

Tuesday, 28 March 2006

by Andrew Haslamfrom Highbury

Goals in each half from Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry gave Arsenal FC a real chance of reaching the UEFA Champions League semi-finals for the first time as England's sole surviving representatives produced an exceptionally disciplined and hard-working display to defeat Juventus, who finished with nine men.

Clean sheet
The home team were the more enterprising throughout and expertly contained a Juve attack shorn of Alessandro Del Piero and Pavel Nedvěd through injury and suspension respectively to record a seventh successive clean sheet in the competition, equalling AC Milan's record of last season. Arsenal always looked in control from the moment the magnificent Fabregas collected Henry's pass to secure the lead five minutes before half-time. The pair then reversed roles for the second goal midway through the second half, Henry scoring against his former club to put Arsenal firmly in control of the tie.

Cautious opening
Juventus were undone by two early strikes against Liverpool FC at the same stage of last year's tournament, and were similarly pushed on to the back foot in the opening moments by Arsenal. With the home side giving the ball away more than usual, however, the first shot on goal was carved out by the visitors, Zlatan Ibrahimović's free-kick deflecting just wide, although in the main the two teams appeared content to play their way slowly into the match.

Arsenal advance
Just past the quarter-hour the hosts picked a way through the Italian champions' rearguard for the first time, Robert Pirès finding Fabregas advancing into the area with a clever back-heel but, under pressure from Lilian Thuram, the midfielder dragged his shot wide. Gianluigi Buffon was then called into action, making a routine stop from Kolo Touré before Henry tried to catch out the Juve goalkeeper with a quick free-kick that drifted a metre wide.

Fabregas delight
That was the first of three set-piece attempts from the Arsenal captain in the opening period, and it was no surprise that, when the home side did find a way past Buffon, Henry played a crucial role. Pirès dispossessed Patrick Vieira in midfield and found his compatriot midway inside the Juventus half and Henry turned to roll a perfect pass into the path of Fabregas, who evaded Thuram to shoot low beyond Buffon. The goal brought Highbury to life and Henry might have added a second soon after but his effort from a narrow angle slid past the far post.

Touré tackle
The visitors started the second half in determined mood, and within five minutes Touré produced a vital tackle to deny Ibrahimović inside the penalty area, his second such intervention on the Juve striker. Arsenal held firm in the face of the initial pressure, however, and might have doubled their advantage just past the hour as José Antonio Reyes and Fabregas combined to find Henry in space on the right only for Buffon to palm away his left-foot attempt before the Juve goalkeeper denied both Fabregas and Pirès with his legs.

Henry delight
Buffon was powerless to prevent Arsenal extending their lead in the 69th minute, though. Arsenal were slicing through the Juve rearguard with increasing frequency and broke clear again as Fabregas ran on to Aleksandr Hleb's pass and drew the goalkeeper before unselfishly squaring for Henry to turn in.

Late dismissals
Juve's troubles were compounded as both Mauro Camoranesi and Jonathan Zebina were dismissed in the final three minutes after tackles earned them second bookings. Vieira, who will want to quickly forget his first game back at Highbury since leaving last summer, will also miss next week's return.

hmm..i'm sure not many people care, but its something to celebrate!!

I would like to take this moment to warn people that the following comments may be offensive to them.

That said, why are people so obsessed with rape? For some reason rape has become a crime considered to be worse than or equally heinous as the crime of murder. This is despite the fact that although it is quite possible for a victim to recover from a rape it is impossible by definition for a victim to recover from murder because they are dead. This is without even dealing with the question of which is worse in moral terms. The act of taking a life or simply an invasion of privacy and choice. Personally I regard the sentences for rape to be far too high as I believe that it pales in comparison to murder of even severe cases of assault.

On the subject of the reason people live. People live because they do not usually have enough faith in god to end their own lives. They realise that there is nothing beyond this life and they are unwilling to commit suicide as they know that thre is no return from death. They look forward to the rare times that they are happy and are unwilling to sacrifice these times simply because of the bad times that they will have to endure to experience them.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU CAUSE HE FUCKING HATES ME
