ok, now i know what i'm doing, thanks to james. I'm not THAT computer illiterate at all, well...only for blogging. (i think it should be renamed 'bogging' because it seems certain people *cough cough* get bogged down (a little obsessed) with it. Not that its a bad thing, its a good way to channel your thoughts...another time waster.....procrastination method to add to our long lists.

well, i think its impossible for me to match anybody else's blogs in both content and length, because i have a 'boring' life according to elle. Who's she to judge? I'm very busy, so i often burn myself out....so i guess im not physically boring, but i don't tend to keep up with current affairs or more psychological things in the group and outside of the group, so i guess that does make me boring, because i
can't really offer a personal opinion. Its not narrow-mindedness (nice made up word), nor 'i can't be botheredness'...i don't know.

okey dokey, this is just like im talking to myself. weird. great... sucked in by blogging, or BOGGING, should i say.
"the old man sat sighing by a sycamore tree" - i have that going through my head, as i just watched othello, the newer version, and, just a note to elle: i did not once say: "shutup and die", and , yes, i watched the 'trifle' bit three times over!!

For those of you that know what im talking about.....good, for those that don't: GOATS AND MONKEYS TO YOU!!!

Interesting to see the discussion this morning, and that once again, the usual people were of the minority opposing opinion. In related news, a revelation that certain group members listen to talk back radio.

Anna, Apathy, Antioch, Aborigines (no particular order)

2004-06-23T22:40:00.000+10:00

I'm sitting here on Dad's laptop, trying to organise my thoughts on asylum seekers into an "Oral Presentation" for SOR2 [religion], and thought I'd see if anyone had blogged. I haven't in a while. I haven't done much in a while really, on anything, I have lost all motivation, and really can't see how I had any for anything in the first place.

It was good giving Anna the yearbook, even if she's the only person who ever gets a copy. < mind drifts to means, caffeinated and others, of maintaining a state of consciousness till the completion of my bloody frikkin assignment> ... < argh shit I didn't mean MSN ... crap ... of well>. That yearbook thing is screwed, and it sucks, and I don't like it (need to have heard "Pauline Pantsdown - I don't like it" to understand last phrase), I think it, and therefore Wenham are to blame for my current mental/psychological state.

It was a good last day for Anna I think. There was a nice sunset too, which I saw at work (I need to quit soon).

Mrs. Ellis is strange. I do not want to attend Antioch thank you very much.

I'm not sure if I want to go on the "Let's talk local" program either at the moment, quite hard to schedule it in / difficult / comes at a time I need & do use for recuperating after school for a term.

I've been having a C.R.A.P attack for the last 6 months. That is, Cynicism, Resignation, Anger (or Apathy but I added that one) and procrastination. It sucks, so does life sometimes.

for all life haters world wide,
this has been "James".

She's gone and she ain't coming back...

2004-06-23T16:53:00.000+10:00

Well, Anna had her last school day today. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we shall all miss her greatly. I wish her the best of luck with school back in Austria. I know she will miss us, but she will also enjoy being home after being away for a year. All the best, Anna! I'll be sending her a CD of video/photos that were taken today and also the Farewell BBQ that took place on Friday.

Secondly, update this blog you lazy bums. I am making a post and I am at TAFE. I wish to inform you that any of you worried about how I was acting today - at least until I pretended to leave - don't worry; I'm fine. The 2nd lunch was fun and I felt a bit better being cheered up by the company of Danielle & Hannah.

Sidenote: TAFE Assignment marks: Interview = Satisfactory, Diagram & Port Info = Pass, System Proposal = Credit. This is pretty much what I expected for a last minute effort. I was pleased with the credit because I thought I would only get a pass for that section. I'm not crap at this subject, just in case you're wondering. Last assignment I got the highest grade of distinction @ 97% or something. It's just that this particular assessment was annoying and tedious. I didn't put in my best effort.

TAFE

2004-05-12T20:01:00.000+10:00

Wonderful isn't it? That glorious hall of madness that has torn the very highlight of my week away from me: Wednesday afternoons. I used to love the laid-back, very short periods and the bludging that was inappropriately named 'missioning'.

I have to leave at the end of period 3 every Wednesday. So why does it take from 11:15 to 1:15 for me to get to TAFE? Bloody public transport! I catch the 11:47 bus to Springwood station and then I catch the 12:14 train to Wentworth Falls. Once I get to Wenny Falls I have to walk to TAFE.

I just want my 4th period frees, my double lunch and my bludge of a 'missioning' session back. I want it all back. That's why today I made the most of the little time I have at recess. I also handed out the invites to my birthday party. Those of you who were invited please RSVP before Saturday - sorry for such short notice! You know how parents can be sometimes.

Now I shall leave (maybe I'll go and update my blog)...

Cross Country

2004-05-08T20:47:00.000+10:00

As Elle said Cross Country was held yesterday. Once again I decided to leave the crowd of bludgers and run through the bush surrounding the school for forty minutes, thinking less and having a bit of fun.

I'd woken up in the morning, and looked outside. Seeing clouds and grey skys I had decided to not bother with putting my sports shorts on under my pants, as it looked like it was freezing outside, and I hadn't had any intention to run. My choice of clothing apparel appeared to be suitable until my legs started to burn as I walked down to Henson, our schools playing fields, after a rather dull "workshop" on the content of our future school song.

It is strange really that although our school has been around for 25 years we've never had a song, but by the sound of things in that little meeting, personally, I'd rather it stayed that way. I was feeling particularly cynical for the duration of the excercise, and had witty comebacks and rebuttals to every suggestion and statement about "our school environment", and the work of St. Columba, (who I found out was a plaguarising royal warmongerer who fled his country after starting a massive tribal conflict). Basically it sounds like we're going to have lyrics talking about the environment (I didn't say anything about the administration having cleared 20 metres into the bush for the entire surroundings of the school), having "wonderful teachers", and a school were we all feal each others pain when something bad happens (oh yes, we print something in the newsletter, how touching)

Back to the cross country. In the process of deciding whether to run I found out that Greg had a pair of shorts, and that seeing as his foot is buggered he wouldn't be running. So, as I was able to wear Greg's shorts if I did indeed (preceding word added for the benefit of all on this blog who go by the name of Elle and/or Smurf) decide to participate in the 4 km mass run / jog / walk.

It was then a matter of waiting for the call to ~~arms~~ the marshalling area.

As I was one of the only people in our group who was listening to the often agonising commentry of one Mr. (checks yearbook related material for the name of this particular teacher which he (me, James) often forgets Note: for those of you reading who have an interest in Yearbook related proceeding, there is due to be an announcement at Tuesdays year assembly. As I have been removed from decisions regarding the yearbook since it was hijacked last year, I really have no idea what it's going to be.) Griffiths, I heard the Year 11 novelty events were on, and, grabbing Nathanael, went up to join in. After tying one of our legs to the others opposite leg, and devising our strategy, we lined up, spread out a bit to give us a bit more room (a feat in itself), and were ready for our first event, the Three-Legged race.

Mr. Dennis, our starter today is ready. He Gives the signal for participants to approach the mark, And their off. Tanya and Sheree stumble after one step, Ashley (Brown) and Bec take an early lead, Jon and Kyle (Macintyre), coming in second, Kyle (Browne) and Greg with Nathanael and James tying for third. They reach the end of the track, turn around, Jon and Kyle lose some ground, Kyle and Greg take second, James and Nath coming in Third, Jon and Kyle recover, take third again, Nath and James put on speed, It's going to be a close one, and it's Ashley and Bec first by a length, Kyle and Greg second, and James and Nath third, by a nose (mine no doubt).

First three go through to the finals, right after the next heat. Me and Nath get third in the Finals and are awarded with a Strawberry Stick each. WHOOOO!!.

Monica and Michaela had been in the second heat, so Nath paired up with Monica for the first heat of Piggy Back races. Not much chance of Michaela and Me. So I went over to the sidelines to get someone to be on my back. Amy was game, and we ended up getting third. It was a bit rough as we were slowing down to turn around, and we almost ran into someone else, but we got third, again just beating someone at the line.

In the finals we were tied third or maybe second, but the call came over for 17 years to the marshalling area.

After standing on the grass above the marshalling area (bottom basketball court) and then sitting in the area being marshalled for what seemed like 10 minutes, we bunched up at the start and began, I was going to try to keep up with Nath, but by the first 30 metres it was clear that he was a bit more serious than I was. So I ran with Amy for a bit. Down past the Food Tech, then the Maths rooms, followed by the Science block. Out through the Bus Bay, across the staff car park, and down the track underneath the power lines. Over the log at the end of the track and turning right, along the north side of the Grotto. Into the bush at the station being attended by 佐籐先生 (Mrs. Sato) and ターナ先生(Mrs. Turner), both very happy to see two Japanese students participating.

Somewhere along the track here the adrenalin ran out. And I decided to slow down a bit, I wasn't in it to win it, so I fell in with Miki. By the time we got back out of the bush and onto Henson, Miki had pulled ahead and I was running with none other than Jonathan and Bec. I rarely run so I usually don't do it properly when I do, running for a bit, then slowing down for a bit, which I really shouldn't have done. Somewhere near the hill up from the Colloseum I lost those two, but caught up with Christian, from the SRC, and two girls he was running with, Jo Appleton and a girl where there for a while too but they fell behind.

Towards the end coming up the track, was not really the hardest, but it was the section in which I was thinking that I didn't really want to be doing it anymore. Just before getting onto Henson again, we starting running again (most people do, unless they really can't be or they really are stuffed). On the home straight I decided I'd give Christian a run for his money, but he was up for a challenge, and I didn't bother, when he shot off.

It was pretty good overall. I came 17th out of maybe 40 people, which is pretty good considering I walked a bit.

Coming back to my bag I discovered that the drink bottle Amy had lent to me was gone. I wasn't sure if I'd put it in my bag or not, but seeing as I had also lost another bottle (mine) I was pretty pissed off (I really needed a drink). I ended up borrowing a bottle from a friend's brother.

If someone was going into bags and pinching drink bottles as some kind of prank: I AM GOING TO TRACK YOU DOWN AND CHASE YOU AROUND THE CROSS COUNTRY TRACK AND THEN NOT LET YOU HAVE ANY WATER. Nah, just kidding, just thought it was stupid.

Overall It was good. I'd rather run than sit around for an hour doing nothing anytime.

Hello there...

Hello there people!
I havnt blogged in quite a while (especially on the goat!) so i thought i should keep you up to date with the stuff (or lack of) thats going down in smurftown. Well, Cross country today, and as usual, i did NOT participate. Dont get me wrong, i love those endorphins as much as the next smurf! but im not really into the whole running thing. Like I love sports whether it be Soccer or surfing (minus golf and lawn bowls...) but running to me is like the down side of sport, its just boring and to monotomous (i cant spell).
Other than the Cross country, not to much is happening! I dont think I can go to Jet tomorrow cos i have no money! AGHHH damn money, gets in the way of everything!
Heh heh, Mum talked to Eden's teacher the other day, and apparently he is not up to standard on his cutting and colouring in. Now is it just me or does anyone else feel that cutting and colouring has absolutly no relevence to intelligence?! Damn those unimaginative Kindi teachers! Im actually proud of Eden! he aint a normal Kindi kid who tries to be neat, he is an individual and makes his art works abstract!
Anyhow, thats about it for me!
LOVE SMURFO!

Hello there, lol, funky drinks...thats amusing...Indeed the school term has started, not to eventful, rather boring actually...Thankgod we didnt check english questions, although maybe i would have preferred that to learning about freakin' F.Scott Fitzgerald who would have had to have been one of the most boring people on the planet...
Well, holidays were good...my sister got (and still is) stranded in Vietnam...I babysat a little "child" who would not stop crying unless i entertainied it with my terrible singing ( steph can agree with that she heard me singing "twinkle twinkle little star" to it over the phone). And i had to spend "family time" in what must have been the dogyest caravan park on the south coast! nah, it was pretty good actually, i love holidays. So yeah, thats about it for now, oh steph, wants me to talk about her...well...um...er...actually F Scott Fitzgerald is the 2nd most boring person in the world...Steph comes first!
lol, you know im JOKING!

Well we're back at school y'all and the usual drama's have recommenced. The tantrums, the relationships, the deceit, and of course the frikkin' school work. For a first day it wasn't really that bad though, especially considering that I had not finished any of the work set (though I made a fair attempt at getting at least some of it done .... yesterday.).

With my parents being away for the week, I'm on my own at the moment, meaning: I have to cook, pack and iron and wake myself up. ARGH

Think you can do it?

2004-04-02T20:42:00.000+10:00

Wow, deep blog... completly agree with what you guys say though. People on our side of the world, our age choose to ignore what goes on in places like Israel,Palestine, Zimbabwe simply because its either to hard to listen to or because it dosnt effect them so therefore its not worth listening to. Interesting to see the project compassion box being handed round the class, completly ignored while people talk about shopping, parties and music. I have occasionally pased the box on, however I do try and make a contribution when I can. I think its mainly James, Jo, Adrian, Aaron and I who have ever actually made a contribution to it (in lawrence that is)...

Here's the correct excerpt from the transcript of the BBC report on Zimbabwes youth "training" camps.
One day during the filming, I phoned a girl who we had interviewed the day before and I got her voicemail.

In her message she had a sweet voice, high pitched and gentle like that of an innocent teenager.

In fact she had helped beat to death an old lady with a walking stick.

Note: I'm not really awake, so these'll prove to be ramblings.

Virginia Woolf

Anyone read Mrs Dalloway? Incredible. The Hours? An impressing appropriation.

I've just finished the Hours (attempting at this very moment to write an essay concerning its main themes) and have just picked up Woolf's book, Mrs Dalloway. (I know that what I am writing might be irrelevant, but like I give a - .) Anyhow, where was I? Ah yes, discussing Mrs Dalloway. As I was just doing - going off on irrelevant threads - Virginia Woolf does so in her book - musically, but that doesn't always excuse it. It gets boring and I find that I have to reread what I read just three seconds before because of all these many irritating threads. HOWEVER, that does not mean that I'm advising you to not read it. Personally, I think every learned person should at least take a peek, see if interests them. It's... worthwhile, to an extent.

Mrs Dalloway is a story of the day in the life of an ordinary woman. She goes out to buy flowers... It is an amazing piece of literature - or that's what I think of it so far, who knows, I might want to chuck it on a bonfire along with Rasputin and Dear Nobody (NEVER EVER READ THOSE BOOKS!) - and if you are a fairly good reader, you should try it. Just... um... be in the mood for it, ok?

Battle of the Sexes,
	Battle against whites,
		Battle of religions,
			Bombings over night.
Battle of the Races,
	Battle against you,
		Battling your dominance,
			Battling your view.
Living with unwanted waste,
	Taking all your crap,
		Putting up with ten times more,
			and trying not to crack.
We never asked for new TVs,
	or western social views,
		the violence and the fighting,
			or propaganda news.
We simply want the freedom
	and peace of times gone by,
		the lives of those around us,
			we do not want to die.
Our lives will never be the same,
	our cheeks are scarred with tears,
		from living scared and worried,
			no sleep for twenty years.

Yeah, I read your post at lunch. It short, it made me feel awful. Not only because I thought it a terrible injustice, but also because the majority of the kids our age, in our society, don't give a flying **** about such things. Perhaps it's a generalisation? I dunno... Maybe, but all the same, when we were talking about it, we had two or three people sitting with us who thought the topic boring and not worth their while.

I'm writing on paper and in bed. The red ink of the texta I'm using seems to reflect my thoughts of what I've just heard.
Whilst listening to "From our own correspondant", the BBC program, just now I heard the story of Zimbabwaen youths who've been in Mr. Mugabes "training" camps, and of one specific case.

The day after an interview with one of these youths, a young girl, I tried to contact her on her mobile phone." the reporters voice chimed "I was greeted by her voicemail and high pitched sweet sounding voice. I almost forgot that the previous day sh had told me how she had helped beat an elderly women with her own walking stick - and killed her."

The breath was knocked out of me. I felt the despair of countless people around the world, loning for peace.
People the same age as me, are being taught to rape, murder and torture their fellow Zimbabweans.
