Keys Please (but without the please)

Today started out as a good day. It started with Tutor Group, which was good as it, gave me time to try and wake up. Afterward I had double sociology but the teacher was away so we could catch up on some other work. I then went to the hall during my spare period to do some other work that I needed to do. When that work was done I felt like having a drink. So off I go to the vending machine to buy my Fanta which was good but now the story gets interesting. I am making my way to the Drama/Music department, I reach for the door handle and find it locked, so I pull out my key which I was given last year for the hall which also opens that door as the two buildings are connected to each other but as I am unlocking the door a teacher that we will call ‘B’ walks around the corner and asks where I got the key. So I told him what I tell everyone who finds out about it. “Jimmy got it for me through Nada for me to use in the hall”. At this point he doesn’t seem too happy about it but I think not much about it so I go onto my next class, Theatre Studies. Half way through the lesson ‘B’ comes in and says “key” wile making that gesture with his hand that says give it to me, you know the one. So I ask why and he says that Mr, Scott doesn’t want students to have keys EVEN THOUGH SCOTT KNEW I HAD IT! But I don’t blame him as this would have never happed if ‘B’ hadn’t gone and had a cry to him about it. Anyway when he comes in demanding Belly says something along the lines of ‘What for” or something, to which ‘B’ replies “he’s got a key to the department” and Belly is staring at him with a look that means “So what” which I was happy about as there was someone who didn’t want me to give it up. He then tells me its also because stuff gets stolen from the music department a lot and coming to me to get the key off of me is was stupid it is his departments fault that stuff gets stolen. During lunch he left the door to one of the rooms wide open. People could just walk in and take stuff.
Anyway…. so I then hand him the key as there is no arguing with ‘B’ and because he’s gone to Mr. Scott there was nothing I can do.

After class I head over to Don to tell him the news and in his way I know he didn’t agree with ‘B’ but I knew that he knew there was nothing that could be done. I then went to go and see Jimmy, the person who gave me they key to see what he had to say about it. He was the same a Don. Annoyed but knew there was nothing that could be done.

So from now on I am going to be annoying ‘B’ by going to him every time I need a key to the hall. No matter what he is doing. If he’s in a class, that’s too bad for him. I’m also not going to have anything to do with ‘B’ anymore. If he wants lights for a rehearsal (which he always does) he’s not going to get them. I will do it for performances but only because Belly is in charge of that and if possible I won’t do anything else for him. I don’t even want to talk to him. What also pisses me off because he didn’t even let me try and ‘defend’ myself, he went strait to Scott, which I feel means that he doesn’t trust me. Every other teacher that knew I had a key had no problem with it.

Back to School

I have one more day of Holidays left until the dreaded year 12, my final year, of school begins. This being my last year of school at Haileybury means it will be the last time for everything. The last School play, The last school musical, the last first day back, The last second day back and so on…. Last last day of holidays. This year is also the year that I have to make a speech in Assembly as Drama captain which should be fun.

Over the past week I’ve been doing some work on the school work I was set at the end of last year. I have finished the first draft of the lighting design of Act 1 for the play. I also ventured out to the golf course next door to get some information about it for a school project and I’m about to go and take some photos of Clarabel before i have to return her to Mr. Bowler. and hope that he won’t be pissed off. Its hard to tell how he will react to things.

This Is Much Better Then Blogger

Matt has moved from Blogger to WordPress so I decided to have a look around and it is so much better then Blogger. Blogger always annoyed me because it was hard to make the changes I would like to make. Here there is much more flexibility and there are resources here that will allow me to make changes in the future such as my own domain name so i don’t have to have .blogspot or .wordpress in the URL. Anyway I would like to copy my old posts over to this one but WordPress hasn’t got an import function for the new Blogger as of yet but I have a feeling they will soon and I don’t want to be copying every post and every comment to here. I may however slowly do that depending on if there are any signs of the import function be comparable with the new version of Blogger.

Don’t Neglect Your Blog

I’ve been reminded to look after my blog so now seems as good a time as any to give an update of anything that’s happened. People are talking about the iPhone but that’s boring so I’m not going to talk about that, matt has a ‘my space’ and I made one for Clarabel to make him feel better about joining and now he keeps asking me to make my own which I’m not going to do. No one can make me make a ‘my space’.

A few days or was it weeks… I don’t know, I got a new analogue to digital video converter and I’ve been converting videos to DVD. The quality is much better than the VHS but unfortunately because they are old tapes there is nothing I can do about some of the fuzz on the screen and on some of the videos the deterioration of the tape is really bad, most of the colour is gone from one of them. Its mostly green.

In other news nothing has happened that is interesting because I’ve pretty much been killing time watching movies and by the way ‘Happy Feet’ isn’t as good as everyone says. I’ve also been working (but not very well) on my sociology project, reading ‘The Quite American’ for English and also I’ve been working at ‘Video Ezy’ heaps this week. I had 2 days where I wasn’t rostered on this week.

Rosebud

Yesterday I arrived home from another amount of time away. I weren’t down to our holiday house In Rosebud! There isn’t much to do there except go to Kmart, Target, one of the 2 Safeway’s, the IGA, the Aldi, Coles or the Movies and If you like the beach there is also that too. Well I only had time to do 3 of those things. I went to the movies to see Night at the Museum which was OK but not great, too childish. I also went to Kmart. There I got in trouble for bouncing a ball around. The lady accused me my brother and my sister of throwing them around the store. Here evidence was a ball that had rolled down the Isle. What does she expect? Its Kmart, all of the toys are being thrown around the Isle. Anyway I also bought a DVD there. Then I went too Target, there is no story here, its just Target. So that was one day, the other day I was told I could have a driving lesson but that never happened so I watch the movie I bought.

Happy New Year

I spent new years at a friends house at Inverloch. New years eve was allot of fun. I had too much to drink and was drunk all night ad having fun and meant some nice people around the town. Some police also stoped us and they only told Chris to get rid of his drink because it was open. The best think that was said that night was “were watching a movie about a butterfly and its effect on you” this was said by me and also Chris’ Dad coming into the room saying “there isn’t enough card-board in the recycling bin, we need to get an even mixture” and Chris’ Mum calling me a Goth because I was wearing a black t-shirt. I was also ringing people all night and left a lot of messages on Ash’ and Matt’s mobile.
