40hr famine

so this year i finally get to do the 40hr famine. amanda and i are doing 40 hours without TALKING. yeah its harder than it looks

so far 8 hours down and i havent said a word. i think i accidentally went noooo to min but i meant it to just be a sound =/ it was hilarious, we were late to maths so the maths teacher locked us out. he was like WHY ARE YOU LATE and i held up my "i am doing the 40 hr famine...40hrs no talking" sign and hes just like >= get in and copy whats on the board

ahahhahah. min lasted 3 hours and gave up cause she accidentally said "it's a rock" to erika. amanda accidentally said something to hannah cause she was concentrating on felting and forgot :]

i've raised $113.70 so far, but for some reason i have $123.20 O__o i either stuffed it up, or havent given amanda change...hmm

so yeah, this is pretty fun actually. apart from the fact that i REALLY REALLY wanna talk.

i wanna raise $200 so i can get the paul frank tshirt that says STIR THE WORLD on it :] and everybody should donate, $40 will feed 8 children for a month in Laos GO SUPPORT THE 40 HOUR FAMINE

house arts 01

first rehearsal for choir in house arts was pretty fantastic :D i remember last year, we got through about 1-2 lines in an entire lunchtime...this time, we got down pretty much half the song!! without the piano too :] except....whenever we next have a piano, everybody'll have to sing everything 4 notes higher =/ yeahyeah, perfectpitchgirl, shut up.

currently writing parts for the instrumental, so far we have 1 cello, 1 flute, 1 piano and 1 percussion. not a great turnout. i need a violin and more percussionists, but that shouldn't be too hard to find. I ALSO REALLY REALLY NEED A TRUMPET, SAX OR CLARINET!!! if that fails, i'll have to play flute and get someone else to conduct.

dammit, i should really learn to write music in pencil and not fineliner =/

xo

IT'S ALL OVERR

...and somewhat even worth cramming most of it into the last few hours. literally.

the test paper was the usual 4 part harmony, 2 part harmony and melody. set work (unfinished symphony by schubert) had questions on the form of the 1st movement, writing out the first 6 bars of the 1st subject, instrumentation of the 2nd movement and some stupid shit "describe the texture of the first 6 bars of the 2nd movement". the rest of the general knowledge was on the sonata, concert overture (which i had no examples for =/), the cadenza, trombone and writing out the written range of the trumpet in B flat and horn in F. i reckon i'll pass.

yeah so that was just music mumbojumbo for me to laugh at when im 20, if i'll be around til then :P took me about 2 hours and a lot of stuffing up. they didnt gimme enough room for one of them and i had to rub it all out and start again with crammed big writing hahaha. i was in a massive hall with the 2nd and 5th grade theory and musicianship people, it was crazy. there was never a second of silence, it was this constant noise combination of pencils, rubbers, crap tables and chairs. not that i was complaining really :] i like noise.

no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory no more theory

yup. whats that? no more theory? HELL YES.

and happy birthday mum, i love you. <3

xo

exams

theory tomorrow. i dont know my stuff too well. THEN WHY THE HECK AM I 1) NOT STUDYING, 2) NOT FREAKING OUT and 3) NOT FREAKING OUT ABOUT NOT STUDYING?

im fricken playing tetris O__o

xo

feeling sentimental.

sigh. well im fifteen and a weekish old :] like viv says IM OLD. oh and speaking of old, happy bday aiden, hao, lisa, randomchickatlaserwars, yao, johnson, mum and whoever else had a birthday this month :] i hope i got all that right O__o ITS IN ORDER TOO. none of you guys would ever read this BUT HEY :D like i said, feeling sentimental :P its a long word aye. i don't even know what it means?

just went for a run, even the 5 o'clock sun in the middle of winter for 15 minutes made me really brown O__o it'll fade in an hour though. hahaha. also bought witch hazel, i hope it works? it smells like SHIT but oh well :P

chinese school was pretty normal today. normal is pretty crazy really, debated (politely yelled) about buying cars and stuff, we wouldve won if castrato didnt yell whatever he yelled at the end :] i felt like a man the rest of the girls came in 15 minutes later :P

theory exam on wednesday, im freaking out but so calm at the same time. i hardly know anything but it'll sink in eventually :] it seems the same every year, but i somehow get by with a high distinction anyway. plus, i borrowed the answer book from my theory teacher so i'll just memorise everything word for word. that's the way i roll :]

house arts is pretty much starting to kick in, its so goddamn hard writing out the music parts to walk on by by ear :/ but once i got started, it was pretty fun. can't wait til the cast list goes up, and i really wanna see the dance :P and its not even all choreographed yet, haha.

i just wanna let this out, but i think most people have heard about the girl (claire oliver i think) who is dying of skin cancer. it's so brave of her to tell her story to everybody in the condition she's in, and i'm so glad that what she's done has changed at least some people's opinions on solariums. i think they're passing a law for it to be illegal if you're under 16, and even if you're 16&17, you need parental consent :] its really nice to know that even if you're about to leave the world, you've changed it in some way ^^ happy birthday claire, god bless you xx

also, i felt like reflecting on the year so far. maybe being fifteen does mean i've grown up O__o last year on my birthday i was busy losing my voice, pulling muscles and catching hats at the divas with viv, vic, sam and carly. well, i only caught one hat :] but anyway, that was back then, in our little group. then shit happens, as it does when you're a teen but no matter how crap i felt back then, 2007 eventually came around and new friendships were made, old friendships were patched up and life looked pretty fantastic :D went to the maybelline masterclass with lisa and brought back a truckload of freebies *LOVES*.

first big thing that happened at school was probably THE PAJAMA GAME :D :D :D yeah, even bandgeeks are allowed to have fun :P more new friends were made (whom i should have called last holidays but err, woops :\ sorry guys :P) and it was just a whole roll of fun in general :D

photography and enterprising multimedia were the best subjects ever back then, now i get stuck with media studies and and....net nature =__= the latter is just pointless. but oh well.

the lauriston fair/ashburton fair was also heaps fun and it was awesome to see katharine and susan again. snow cones being thrown to the ground, spotting hamish and andy (...they happened at the same time :P), going on rides, icecream, beaniekids for $1, horrible tanlines, sunburns and tattoos...ah the list shall go on forever :]

this blog is getting long. i think i shall continue it on later when i next eat a block of chocolate :] but there's tonnes to look forward to, ESPECIALLY HOUSE ARTS AND URBAN!!!!!! UNO IN THE HOTEL AT 3AM, SHITYEAHH!! 4 weeks of school to go, another 2 and all the fun stuff shall begin......................................

xo

soph turns fifteen

let's start by saying that i love my friends :] they're the best in the world and i don't care if you think your friends are better, because...because yeah :] susan got me a curling iron, but in the card she wrote "i dunno what textbooks you wanted, so i hope you like maths" AND I FUCKING FELL FOR IT!! I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT SHE GOT ME MATHS BOOKS AHAHAHHAHA. lisa got me a dress last week which im dying for summer to come around so i can wear it :] err, grandma gave me $100 and so did annette's mum. i was supposed to get a book (that i of course, don't know about xP) but amanda didn't come so yeah, i should get that tomorrow. steph's coming in a sec to give me something (i think it's a shirt that says IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES BREAK DANCE) so i'll just wait til she comes before i post this blog (i feel spoilt, she got me the shirt, chocolates, a lollipop and a metoyoubear noteholder thing, with a pic of me, sus and her pulling a retarded face stuck in it :P)

while i wait, i'd like to say:

THE TRAINS HERE SUCK!!! OUT OF ALL THE DAYS MY TRAIN LINE HAD TO BE DOWN, IT HAD TO BE ON MY BIRTHDAY!!?!!?!! juls got to burwood and her mum had to drive to ashburton cause she got confused with the whole bus thing. we got on the bus to camberwell station and crammed our way onto the train and got to flinders 20 minutes late. our HELLO's and *HUGS* kinda blocked the way of everybody who was trying to get out of the barriers though LOL. min was wearing thongs so we bullied her by standing on the back of them :] we went to laser wars first, which was fantaaastic fun :D :D :D

WHY?!

BECAUSE I WOOOOONNNNNNNN!! there was another group of 7 people that we were against and one of the girls in the group was having her birthday as well :P we sang happy birthday to her and i was like MEEE TOOO!!!! and they sang happy birthday to me, so much less enthusiastically...but oh well :] it was awkward but i liked it anyway ahaha

i thought all those videogamer looking guys would kick our little girly butts, but we lost by a tiny bit :P and i even beat MIN which is a first O__O! so for the rest of the day i'll just be stuck up about winning, dont mind me... :D

after that, we were thinking either stay and do nothing for a while, and watch the simpsons at crown, but we decided to RUN AFTER TRAMS (silly min :P) to get to photoplus and back in time. that didnt quite work out, cause we ran after the WRONG tram, min got mocked by some guy who was driving cause she was making strange noises, and we never made it back from photoplus

BUT we got to photoplus :P did our lil asian (+ juls....and me) camwhoring thing, which is hard when you cram 6 people into a little booth, ahaha. and the photos came out bonusphoto sized =__= but that's okay :D then the asians went to china town for some reason, me and juls with to MC to get tickets for the simpsons BUT WE FREAKING FOUND OUT THE 4:00 WAS DIRECTORS SUITE >: so juls had to leave, tamama and lisa had to leave and it was (yet again) just me, min and erika. we watched i now pronounce you chuck and larry which was HILARIOUS, BUT WE STILL HAVENT SEEN THE SIMPSONS!!! grrrrrr.

mins grampa was supposed to find her but we realised that he doesnt have a phone and err =/ yeah. so we decided to train home together, but her gramps found her in the last couple of minutes :P he's exactly the same as my grandma, the way he thinks O__o its annoyingly scary haha. so yeah, we talked about hair in the train :P me and min i mean. and hair *comma* in the train. not...yeah anyway O__o she was gonna buy protective spray, volumising shampoo and hairspray but never did any of that :P i love you min, you're such a strange little alien.

my teeth elastics taste like gum and popcorn. happy birthday to me.

xo

I WON LASER WAAAAAAAARSSSSS :D

well this sucks

my birthday is tomorrow and i have a massive cold -_- i feel yucky.

can't wait to find out what's planned for me :] my friends are better than yours xP

& susan's back!! ayayay!

xo

BIG DAY IN !!

TODAY WAS AWESOME :D i LOVE this week, it's such a NOTHINGG week

yesterday was periods 1-4 doing pretty much nothing except for listening to people talk about tattoos and piercings.

today we double PE (circuit training: step ups, crunches, burpees, quadricep sits, push ups, shuttle run, oval run, agility run, sprints, skipping and tricep dips) which is yeah, a work out but a bludge :P after recess we got this codething so we could get onto the school net at home...and then english, but we're pretty much done with our project so i went with people to the library (collect printing), art room (get paper) and gym (retreive missing pencil case). we ended early anyway, because.............................

BIG DAY IN :D

had a BLAST, not because the big day in was on, but cause we spent our time missing period 5 and taking photos for a reason which min should clarify on my birthday O__o but we took some really cute/photographesque photos :]

haha, i especially love the one of kiki and juls on the outside of the tube! and min & kiki look like lovers in the one above HAHA. but it was a nice concept :] and the last one...what are we looking at xP?

theres more, but they're portrait so they don't fit nicely in here cause i stuffed up the alignment...ohwell :D

and we made $5000 for bangladesh! YAY.

xo

would you like a kick in the groin with that?

started taekwondo today :] reallyreally like it, though my right butt cheek is sore right now...cause you had to know and all =/

my right arm is so much stronger than my left, i feel weird and out of balance when i punch...damn tennis. min's a slacker, wanting to skip to black belt straightaway. ahahha. i want the uniform, i feel strange in normal clothes around people who are all uniformed up. this is all part of PE, but i still really wanna keep doing taekwondo, its a good way to take out emotions ahahha.

it sucks how we have to write out so many training sessions for PE. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A FUN SUBJECT, WE SHOULDNT NEED TO GET HOMEWORK >:[

in other news I SERIOUSLY WANT A MACBOOK!!!! REALLY BAD!!! AGFHALSKDJHASLJDKH it's likely i'll get one, so that's okay. BUT HOW LONGGGG DO I HAVE TO WAIITTTT...next year =__+ at least i'll finally be able to move all my pictures, music and videos and all that junk OFF this laptop to free up space for school. plus, it'd make graphics and stuff a lot easier (or so they say)

hm, no chinese school this week and ITS MY BIRTHDAY ON SUNDAY :D :D :D thanks lisa for the pressie *loves it*....school people are planning something...wait, sorry i mean BITCHING about me :P and i really wanna know what they're planning...err, i mean...saying :] GAHHHHHH!

got the braces done up again today, new elastics (no more penguins...RAMS O__o) and the guy bent the wire around to do something funky to my mouth. it canes right now, but i'll get over it in a few..days or weeks x__X

BIG DAY IN IS ON WEDNESDAY!!! YAAAAAY. totally can't wait, mostly for the fact that we dont have to wear school uniform. ugh, i really need to study for my theory exam, especially the set work (schubert unfinished symphony) i gotta know stuff about =/

anyhow, hope i won't be sore tomorrow :]

xo

UNO.

gotta love and hate fridays

i woke up and i thought it was saturday, so naturally i felt like punching mum when she said it was friday =__= plus, i forgot my diary and pencil case, which is basically everything. but i borrowed amanda's FATFAT pencil ahaha

our card game lunchtimes have morphed into this massive uno craze :D by massive, i mean it literally. 2 decks of uno cards and 12 people (i think), one game lasting for almost half an hour. record number of draw*insertcardnumberhere* is fourteen HAHA, and it was on viv, i believe. NERDS MUCH :D?? you love it. and i got a chance to take more macro shots of people's eyes, but the lighting sucked in most of them :[

julia's eye looks raddd, i love it...viv's looks really unasian O__o

yes, that's enough about eyes. haha

downloaded the annual concert recordings off the share drive, we sounded really crap to be honest. it sounds good when you're performing, but not when you hear it back. or maybe i just have really high expectations.

filled out my subject selection form, stuffed it up along the way but it should be okay :]

i've decided to do (in preference order):
- Japanese
- VCE Music Units 1 & 2
- Art2: 20th Century Styles
- Business Studies
- Visual Communication Skills

hope i get them. i'll be MAJORLY pissed if i dont do those subjects next year, none of the others appeal to me at all to be honest...

xo

just a tad silly

is it not silly for your friends to plan you a "surprise" birthday when you're right next to them? they kicked me out 3 times so they could plan it O__o oh well, i wanna know what they've planned.

annoyed that i can't go to taekwondo on monday cause of the orthodontist. i'll get my way round that. vic got her braces, i can't wait til that baby tooth thing just drops out of her mouth LOL. WE'RE ALL GONNA HAVE PERFECT SMILES YAY :D <-- like that :]

had a double piano lesson ish thing, i was pretty much practicing during the lesson :P then megan came, we rehearsed our concert things, but it was mainly my shoddy piece...david came in (with a funkylooking haircut O__o) and i thought it was his dad. he said it was sounding good LOL *COUGHCOUGH*, megan's doing an awesome job THANKYOU :D

xo

AHHHH FINALLY!

I KNOW HOW TO WORK THE STUPID MACRO SHOT FUNCTION ON MY CAMERA!! YESS!

ah shut up, just cause i'm slow.

science and jap test tomorrow, so screwed.

just had information night, and more d&m with dad lmao :P it was all "i don't care what you want me to be or do, i'm doing it my way"

i think i'll end up being a psychologist/psychiatrist (STILL CAN'T WORK OUT WHICH ONE'S WHICH) or, on the other end of a stick, a top end designer or photographer :] DREAM ON SOPH, DREAM ON SAYS CONCIENCE, FATHER AND MOTHER.

xo

chinese whispers

HAHA LUNCHTIMES ROCK HAHAHAHAHA

so for some reason we decided to play chinese whispers at lunch, IT WAS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVERR. in our circle of people we used mandarin, shanghai dialect, cantonese, japanese, korean, vietnamese, german and italian...so we tested them out in chinese whispers :] things came out as NO MANS DICK and all this crap....ahahha.

that triggered this massive yelling match between erika and min (jap and mando) which totally didn't work, cause they didnt know what they were yelling at each other :]

julia became an egg (white on the outside, yellow on the inside) i became a banana (yellow on the outside, white on the inside) min was a melon (...err, brainless? i dunno) and erika was a coconut (black on the outside, white on the inside. lmao) min made up a story that went like this:

one beautiful day a girl climbed up a coconut tree and picked a coconut. she went home and CHOPPED THE COCONUT AND IT DIED etcetc.

oh, all this was also happening while playing cards too. haha

xo

I LOVE SUNDAY

...BECAUSE SUNDAY'S ARE FOR DOING NOTHING :D

i'd rolled out of bed for barely 10 minutes when min called me though, asking me to lie for her (again) and say that i was going to the footy with her and hao and tan. i was pretty much saying NO I WILL NOT LIE FOR YOU AGAIN BECAUSE IF THEY FIND OUT THEY WILL LOSE MY TRUST AND YOU CANNOT GO OUT EVER AGAIN. and i was about to change my mind, but i think someone unplugged her phone line =/

but yeah, an hour something later, hao and i were texting and calling trying to get to min and see if she was going or not (i'm her favourite messenger) and it was all screwed up until she called me and told me she was running to flinders st lmfao.

that was drama number one, and it had nothing to DO with me LMAO.

had a theory lesson since i cancelled yesterdays...my god the questions i had to do were a BITCH, i finished them 20 minutes before my lesson haha. i have 3 lessons til my exam, i am so very screwed.

i washed my hair and parted it a bit more across than usual, my fringe is soooo soft right now :D

random. kbye

xo

ricki-lee at highpoint

so after nagging viv for about a week, we got to go to highpoint today :D and we got lost so many times ON THE WAY there. we were on the right road all along, but vivs mum was reading the wrong page of the melway, so we went back...then we turned and went towards the city, went back and then ended up where we started...which was the right place :] wasted about half an hour, but it was no big deal since we got there on time

highpoint is so overrated, its not that massive...just cause it has more parking space than chaddy, gosh. it's pretty narrow and when you walk in it's...level 3 O__o so we found the escalators (which look pretty awesome from the stage) and found where we were meant to be

we bought a single for $3 (cheap much?) and a random lady came up to us and said she wanted to take a photo for a newspaper/magazine for high schools O__o so we did our cheesy posing with out CDs...if anyone sees this, let me know?

we told the security guard viv was hao's brother LMAO, cut the queue and waited for 10-15 minutes ish (for ricki to put her eyelashes on ahaha) and she came out, sang sunshine, BRAND NEW DAY (SOUNDS AWESOME) and can't touch it (click here for the vid)

went up to get the CD signed, got my photo...err, taken



that is so not attractive :D and not just me either. ahahah

wandered around, came back for no reason...talked to amy for a bit and wanted to retake my shoddy photo (NOT SILLY ENOUGH >:[) but decided against that, the security guard wouldve thought it was suss that hao was gone...

so yeah, that was basically it. took us only half an hour to get home, uncluding picking up eric from notsure :P and including losing my house. ahahha

so that's all the fun bits, im just gonna rant about the uneccessary chinese school because i can...well i got there this morning and walked past a guy wearing BRIGHT ORANGE BOARDIES LOLMOAKDJ?DHSLKJ. so i held in my laughter (kinda) and squeaked. haha. it made the 2 new guys turn around, they were twins and it was obvious, but i had no idea until the teacher said so O__o they're uber good at chinese, it makes me look even stupider. MAKING OUR POSTERS WERE HEAPS FUN THOUGH, WE HAD TO MAKE A POSTER ABOUT SMOKING. and viv, cc and i made one that said "SMOKING IS SUICIDE" in chinese, with a hangman holding a cigarette and a hangmanslover who died from 2nd hand smoke. and down the bottome it said something like "smoking kills you, and the ones you love." it looked pretty shit, but meh. oh and something amusing happened about putting boobs in a jar...

SOYEAH :D rant over

xo

subject selections

it's kinda hard to believe next year is year 10...the year before VCE. we had a subject selection briefing thing after lunch (MISSED OUT ON MOST OF MAATTTHHS :D) and it's all sounding really serious...i have a good idea of what i want to do, but i'll wait til after the information night before i pick :] next year we can choose out of:

LOTE:
- French

- German

- Japanese

VCE Units:
- Biology Unit 1 and 2
- Drama Unit 1 and 2
- Literature Unit 1 and 2
- Music Performance Unit 1 and 2

Other Electives
- America in the 20th Century
- Art 1: Exploration of 20th Century Styles
- Art 2: Exploration of 20th Century Styles
- Asia, Our Closest Neighbour
- Body In Action
- Business Studies
- Cities and Other Places
- Liberty and Authority
- Systems and Lifestyles
- Visual Communication and Design: Design Brief
- Visual Communication and Design: Design Skills

i'm definately continuing jap, its easier than chinese anyway, and dad actually said yes to doing jap for VCE O__o which shocked me a bit, but hey :] i'm also doing music performance for sure, i've never really done bio properly before and i might as well get music out of the way.

i like art2, business studies and viscomm design skills, but dad thinks i should kick one of the art subjects and do body in action, which to me is a mix of science and PE...so naturally i'm not listening to dad :] the history and geography ones kinda bore me (why are we doing american history anyway O__o) but i remember mrs mullins saying: "the most important thing is the world and the people who live in the world"...so yeah. i dunno :]

i really wanna to pschology in year 11, it looks like fun picking at people's brains :] and it seems a bit arty to me, even though its...medical ish.

i wish i was 12 again.

xo

hairy disasters...

HAHA *SHOUTS TO THE WORLD* I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT MIN SOMEHOW WAS PERSUADED BY HER GRAMPS TO CUT HER FRINGE AND NOW SHE LOOKS LIKE A 2 YEAR OLD KID STUCK A BOWL ON HER HEAD AND DECIDED TO PLAY WITH SCISSORS :D

to be honest, i think it looks fine, but part of the fun is just annoying her :] and the fact that she cares SOO much makes it so much more fun. its just HAIR it GROWS BACK you moron *rolls eyes* did you see me complaining when mum chopped my fringe too short? noo, it just grew back. and while you're waiting for it to grow, just clip it or experiment...it's not the end of the world dear, even though you say it is. i remember min screaming that the world was coming to an end because she had a zit on her nose. AND SHE DECIDES TO SCREAM THAT TO ME, IE THE QUEEN OF ZITS :D so smart and stupid at the same time.

YAH so the annual concert!!! nothing really major happened, the junior school were cute as always with their innocent and off-tune music making. we watched the first half, and had our interval cut short again cause we were on straight up afterwards. got my solos in tune for the 2nd time ever :D i think anyway.

the really major pissy thing that happened was that ms barnes cut the finale 2 BARS EARLY >:[ i was so angry, after all the drum BASHING i never actually did my FINAL BASH OF THE YEAR GRRAAAAHHHHHH. the cymbal was rolling and everything, the final CRASH never happened. ASDF!!!!!!! the thing is, i would never actually go up to ms barnes and vent it on her, because 1) it's like poking a tiger and 2)...it's like poking a tiger.

ele went straight up to her afterwards saying: "you finished it two bars early!!" and from what i've heard, ms barnes started crying. which is hard/weird to imagine. but after all the pressure, she cracked it =/ i feel sorry for her i guess, but im real pissed off that i never got to break the drum.

OH and i actually did my maths homework today :D and FINISHED IT. ARE YOU PROUD OF ME!? YES YOU ARE. and i bought 2 new pacers, my 3 year old pacer from japan finally cracked it (literally) and i got sick of sharpening my pencil 28371 times a day. plus, i know i'm gonna lose/break/lend to someone forever/kill one of the two pacers so i bought two :D

that is all

xo

annual concert tonight

had the all day rehearsal. it was fun until we actually started rehearsing :] i am never playing the bass drum again. i got yelled at repeatedly to play it as loud as i could AND I ALREADY WAS. seriously, me and steph just wanted to break our drums and say "IS IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW??!?!?!". but the possibility of actually breaking the drum is pretty small.

it got pretty funny though, we started imagining ms barnes yelling and jumping up and down on the actual performance night. and after the finale rehearsal, she goes SOPHIE COME HERE. HIT IT. and i WHACKED the thing. and then she takes the stick and whacks it too, no louder than mine :] and shes like.....err mr v, is that how you do it =/? i was holding back my laughter til mr v hit it, i think he blew my eardrums off x__X not just with the drum, with the crash cymbal too. if you've ever sat near either one of those instruments, i feel for you.

anyhoodle, this morning on classic fm the radio guy goes: one of our listeners dropped in an email saying "i am an avid listener of classical music and i listen to your radio station on the way to school. i play the piano and i would love it if you played some theme songs from movies such as harry potter or lord of the rings" (something like that)

....it was from a michael in year 9 O__o IS THIS YOU MICHAEL (YOU KNOW WHO YOU AREE) IF YOU EVER READ THIS? BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU :]

so thats it. shall update on how the concert goes, i bet you anything no matter how shit we are, it'll be all smiles and compliments :P
