So, once again I've been straying away from my blog. Miraan told me today "Every time you don't blog, it's like destroying your life."

 

And it's true, blogging makes me feel better.

Adam once told me that people who blog feel better about themselves - according to some study he read.

 

Even so, I think it applies to me too.

 

 

So, over the last week and a bit, I've been having my first few GCSEs.

So far, I've done my Science unit 4 today, Maths unit 4, non-calculator and my English Literature.

 

They were all alright - but the Science one today was quite difficult.

Maths was a piece of piss, which was PROPER unexpected.

English Literature, well, I think I did alright on that, but I felt rushed. You only get like an hour and forty-five minutes to write two essays.

 

 

Now it's Whit Week - so we've got a week's break, then we go back to three weeks of exams.

I still have my Geography to go, and my 2 and a half hour Media Studies exam.

 

I've wrote myself somewhat of a mini-timetable of all these things I'm going attempt to do to keep myself occupied.

 

Though, I feel I've given up on writing.

Thus, I ended up in a really downward spiral last night, and I did a lot of lashing at myself.

And they were quite bad - I was slightly worried, because I'm not a fan of blood.

 

But regardless.

 

Today we had an unnofficial 'last day', though it's not actually our last day because we don't get study leave.

So we just spent the day signing shirts, leaver's books and taking photos.

 

The last lesson, we had like a gathering thing.

The whole of year 11 was in there, and we got our tutor group photos taken and our Record of Achievement files given out.

 

Then I got Mrs Mac, the librarian to sign my book, and a ton of random friends to sign my shirt.

Then my old English teacher, who went off on maternity leave when I was in year 10 - she came back, and she seemed really pleased to see me.

 

 

Adam randomly turned up last night.

He was coming tomorrow anyway, so we could watch Eurovision 2008.

 

So he's stopping over two nights in a row.

We've got nothing to do.

 

He's just turned on Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

Our token scary game. :)

 

 

I voted Nemesis himself as the 2nd best video game villian.

He's also so sexy. :)

 

Despite being male, I like him. :)

I just want to hug him, and get all covered in rotting flesh and mucous and stuff. Tee hee.

But then, I'm weird like that, aren't I. :)

Oh, I don't know what I can say about today.

 

 

First lesson, IT - I was in there for only about 15 minutes, then I went to my appointment with Parry. That was alright, I got to get some stuff off my chest.

 

Second lesson, English - We were doing practise exam questions, and she HAD to pick the dodgiest questions ever. Some of them, I looked at and went blank. I pray that the questions in the exam coming up are more reasonable...

 

Third lesson, Science - This was alright, we were just revising for the upcoming exams, so I just read through section B6 in my textbook.

 

Fourth lesson, Maths - This is where I got seriously pissed off. I felt so sick and tired, I just put my head down on the desk, I couldn't understand a single sentence of the work she was explaining to us. I don't know if I fell asleep or not - but as she went bpast my table, she proper screamed at me to wake up.

Naturally, I shit myself, but raised my head, proper glaring like fuck at the silly cow.

Scott stood up for me though - he told her that I was feeling sick - which I was, considering I've had a stomach upset all night.

 

Fifth lesson, Media Studies - The final session down the CLC, I just sat with Stephen, listening to stuff on music sites, because we didn't really have anything planned for our final day on the project, it was just an optional, I decided not to do it.

 

 

 

Anyway.

In the library after school, I sat with Stephen, Jamie, Pips and Miraan - and we just discussed random stuff.

I was partially listening, because I was working on this:

 

 

 

Another wonderful drawing of #1263. :)

 

- Which shall be posted up to DeviantArt soon, too.

 

 

Speaking of #1263, I've been working on the first chapter: Perserverance.

I've wrote #1263:TB in such a manner, the chapters can be read in any order.

So I write them in a weird order.

 

But I'm starting to want to start posting it up to FPC, so I'm going to have to do them in order.

 

Perserverance is one of the hardest chapters to write, though.

 This noble knight is standing in wait for her fair maiden to return.

1.  Grand Entry on Thursday.  The first two gentlemen carry the Eagle Staff's.  One of them at all times is the Winnebago NE's Legion or VA's staff and the other one each day is a visiting organization staff.

 

2.  This picture is of the various pow wow princesses from other tribes and last year's Ho Chunk princess.  One of these girls came clear up from NM!  Now contrary to popular beilf.  Tribes do NOT have Indian Princesses.  They have Chef daughters and most Chefs are not chosen from family but the best warrior.  This is a white man thing.  The Pow Wow Princesses represent not only their respective tribe but their communities!  The Ponca Tribe had 2 Princesses.  One for the tribe and one for the Warrior Society.  The Ho Chunk Tribe of NE had 2 also.  One Sr (16 and up) and one Jr (16 and below).  Don't ask me which Ponca tribe it could have been the OK one or the NE one.  They didn't say!

 

3.  Color Guard!  I should have had it underneith Grand Entry!  The various military flags are represented.  The Ho Chunk Tribe of NE was the first Tribe in the US to have a Congressional OK for their Pow Wow.  This is called the Homecoming Pow Wow to Honor the last Chef of the Ho Chunk tribe (of NE)  Cheif Little Priest.  Little Priest and many of the Ho Chunk warriors served Fort Omaha Scouts and they held a pow wow with the gov'ts okay (at the time no large gathering of indians could happen with out gov't okay) to welcome their warriors home!  Today this Homecoming Pow Wow of the Ho Chunk Tribe still happens and all Warriors from all walks of life are honored through out the celebration.  They have a song for each of the Military Branches and all Veterans and Family of Veterans and those serving are welcome to dance.  My children and I danced in all of the Military songs but the Coast Guards!  That is the only branch we have no family in or served in.  They even have a Mother's of Warriors dance for all the mothers and grandmothers!  A few of my friends from highschool signing in some of the drum groups went and talked to the head of pow wow commetee and suggested they have a drum group compose a Spouse of Warriors song because of how many of my age group that were there have spouses that served.  I was the only one from my class (from my town) that paid honor to my family; my friends from Bago danced along side of me.

 

 

4.  The first gentleman in this pictures is called the Head Man dancer.  He helps in the areana while the men are dancing.  He leads all the men and boys in during Grand Entry and during retreat leads them out.  The men behind him are the Golden Age Dancers (Men over 50) 

 

5.  This Golden Age Dancer is a Fancy Dancer.  These are the most watched men's dancers out there so for this guy to be dancing in his 50s or 60s this fast of paced is something else.  And let me tell you, this gentleman can keep up with the Men's if he wanted too!  He was my favorite out of the Golden Age men!  Scared me a bit on Friday evening, he staggared a bit during a Special.  But he was okay and kept right on dancing after his granddaughter ran him out some water!

 

6.  I play softball with this gentleman and his wife!  I know his wife but I can't for the world of me think of his name.  He dances Grass Dancing.  He won his Special and boy can he move!  My girl Mikal has herself a handsome man!  All my friends in the drum groups next to us were laughing their asses off because I said:  "Boy, now I know why Indian families can get so large!  If I had a man who could move his hips like some of these men do I would want to bed him all the time!"

 

7.  These guys are the Men's Fancy Dancers.  These are the ones you want to watch!  They go extermly fast to the beat of the drum, go down low, and usually end in splits!  They are extermly fun to watch on a Sneak up dance!  Sneak up dances are when they tell the story of sneaking up on either an enemy or game.

 

8.  I don't know what these guys names are but they were our Pow Wow buddies for the weekend!  They traveled up from one of the Southwest states.  We sat next to them all weekend long.  They are dressed in their tradational style and were the only ones to partake in what is called the Chicken Dance.  Which I think (but don't quote me) a Southwestern dance.  The dance tells the story of the prairee chicken mating.  We helped the long haired guy's wife out giving them water because she had an injuried hand and they helped us out by keeping an eye on the kids!  Which came in handy on Sunday when my girl Bree had to work and I had to help her ol man Arjan get the kids ready.  They helped me get Trystan's roach on him tight!  That is the thing on the top of their heads!

 

 

I think this is enough pictures for tonight.  I have to a few more to post of the women and of the young boys.  Not to mention of my neice and nephew!  Hope you enjoyed these pictures
