Blundering In The Darkroom

In Photography today we got to go into the newly-finished darkroom.
It's actually 3 rooms that are all connected by these weird but mint rotating doors. From the front, they look like torture chambers or experimental pods. You step inside them and rotate the plastic door around until the gap to the next room is in view. :)
Shelly and Michelle hated them, but I thought they were epic.

The first room is light, it actually has white light, so you can see everything. The middle room is lit with a red light - which is cool, and the last room is about the size of a cupboard and it's pitch black. Seriously, you'd have the same amount of vision if you kept your eyes closed.
Shelly and Michelle are scared of the dark, so I took great pleasure in jumping out at them when they were coming in and out of the rotating doors.

For the lesson we were given some pinhole cameras, which we had to load with the photographic paper in the darkroom, then go outside and use them to take photos.
They're a bit strange. My first photo was overexposed, my second was a bit blurred - but my third one was epic. You come out with a negative and they're only in black and white - but they're still pretty cool.

I was telling Anne Marie about it in Film Studies. I told her I had a headache because of all the going in and out of the darkroom and going from dark to bright so many times. She seemed interested - and I showed her my negatives at the end of the lesson. I think I'm starting to like her a bit more. With new people and strangers, it does take me a while - but sometimes I'll end up getting there with them. :P

When I got home, I had 5 parcels waiting for me - 4 jiffy bags and a beasty cardboard box.
The box naturally, was my GH: Rocks The 80s and my sexy new cherry SG controller.
The jiffy bags contained Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Evil Dead and Silent Hill 2.

I was surprised by the SH2 - they've sold me a limited edition one for £8.
Normally the double-disc games go for £25-£40. Epic. :D

I went with mam and dad to Whitby and we had fish and chips.
Well, they did - I had chicken nuggets and chips. They were well nice. We ate them sat in the car in a random car park by the docks.
It was strange, I talked to them both a lot more than I normally would - and they actually seemed minorly interested. Good, yes?
