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.

The phrase, "Lunar moon landing," goes right up there with, "Avian bird flu."
That is all.
And continuing on from entry 32 - here is the scene from Stand By Me that inspired the section below from chapter 42 of Fire Of Glory.
I only realised today that I'm the one playing the FoG role of Lard Ass.
Tee hee... Oh well. :)
"Okay, you all know the rules. This is a NU-NH contest, no hands or forks allowed - 'kay?"
He took out a whistle. "Oh my mark..."
"Three... Two... One..." He blew it hard, and everyone set off.
SPLAT! LuigiGirl buried her face into the pie below her.
Everyone else did likewise, forgetting all possible table-manners, munching like pigs that’d just finished dieting.
Dixie was the first to finish hers first. "Done!" She called, and a Koopa threw another pie down onto the table in front of her.
"Done!" Andrew called, only seconds after Dixie.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards, as another pie was set in front of her.
A few moments later, everyone was onto their third pies, their faces covered with thick berry-filling.
"Good, huh?" Dixie asked, in-between mouthfuls.
"Nothin' better!" LuigiGirl exclaimed.
"Done!" Dixie announced, onto her fourth.
Andrew glared at her, plunging his face right into the centre of his pie, almost swallowing the whole contents of the dish in one go. "Done!"
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards.
The contest ran steady for the next several minutes, Dixie leading with nine pies, Andrew on seven, LuigiGirl on six, Mack, Donovan, Edward and Zed on five.
"Take it easy Dixie!" Koopinator warned.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called. "He's right, take it easy, eh?" She said, before yet another pie was set in front of her.
Dixie ignored them both. "Done!" She yelled, before shoving her face into her tenth pie.
A few moments later, she began choking, coughing and spluttering loudly.
She grabbed her glass, and chugged the whole pint of 'water' down in one go.
LuigiGirl raised her head, glancing awkwardly at her partner. "Done!" She called. "Geez, we told ya to-"
Dixie stopped, bringing her head up.
"Oh..." She groaned, clutching her stomach. "Suddenly I... I don't feel so good..."
"Are you okay?" LuigiGirl asked, beginning to slightly panic.
Dixie slowly stood up from her chair, her stomach growling rabidly, like a wild dog.
Andrew pulled his head free from his ninth pie.
"Hey-hey, what's up? Has poor little Dixie got a tummy ache? Pah, you'll never make it as far as me!" He mocked.
"Keep eatin' those pies, Bandwidth! It was great to have you quiet for more than three seconds!" LuigiGirl growled.
"Pah." Andrew said again, sneering at Dixie. "She's a wuss, never will beat the almighty Bandwidth at eating contests!"
"Andrew..." Dixie coughed. "You better shut up... Or I'll-"
Dixie gasped, her eyes rolling backwards in fear.
She opened her mouth to finish her sentence - but a cascading waterfall of purple vomit erupted from her throat, tumbling from her mouth, and drenching Andrew in a purple sticky mess.
Dixie didn't stop, she continued breathing fire for around two minutes - by this time, Andrew had almost drowned in the purple sea, and the floor had somehow flooded too.
Dixie coughed hard, before closing her eyes, and tumbling backwards, landing with a hard thump on the floor.
