Adam echoed many of my readers' sentiments: "write something exciting!". Well, if you okes don't comment and tell me what your definition of "exciting" is, I'll just carry on. I'm the one writing here, I really don't know what you guys would like to read. There's your special mention :) hope you like it! But seriously now, the next couple of posts should be class ripping.
Meh, the day wasn't really interesting (except for the fact that Mallett sound epic) until we got to the evening inter-house plays, part 1. Two boarding houses in one day is always a recipe for comedy/disaster... Invoking great memories, I remember the one time one guy almost got burnt by a firedancer, and a dying father got into bed at the beginning of a scene with all the lights on! And we're not even talking the Founders play two years ago yet, where Nicky ripped into literally everyone and everything, from the new headmaster to the marimba band, and especially Bishops Men.
Yeah, the talent base is slowly going down, but that didn't stop tonight from being epically funny once again. Boarders cannot keep their shirts on, kudos to Seb who slowly got more and more undressed as the night progressed. What I love the most though is the way in which everyone puts in little inside jokes, such as teachers' initials, ripping into specific people, or just generally ripping into themselves. Daniel was really good as the Japanese general, I didn't think they'd pull the accent off that well! Gray just carried on and on and on... it was such a relief when they finally finished. Sudding, I'm sorry, but I couldn't imagine anymore, my imagination sort of ran dry on how much worse it could be... nevertheless, Simon's amazing British accent ("I dreamt of a girl.. and I still remember her number! It was an 8... 5... 5... ah yes, 6... well, darling, let's go inside my mystery machine!") managed to elicit a satisfactory tone of laughter from the expectant audience.
The bar table got used again. In every single play. The adjudicators harp on this every time, I think it's about time they realized it's the only decent piece of scenery we have! Literally, people write their scripts around it! I was sitting next to ADD, and we both had a good chuckle at how the plays all revolve around drinking at the bar set. Most of them heavily. Okes stumble around, okes get killed by speeding buses, people cry. Well, that's what our play was like until about midday today, when they intelligently decided to change it. Hopefully for the better. New improved generic house play 2.0: okes now die of alcohol poisoning. It gets scientific!
Psycho-face decided to bother me again. I'll just have to keep deleting his comments on my blog. What does he aim to achieve by this? And at least put some effort in and spell "cunt" right. If I'm going to get insulted, have the dignity to do it in a language I can understand. I mean come on, it's worse than Gareth Cliff, but I
'll lay it to rest. Maybe if he drops it now, he might not end up in the matrix. If there's one thing I can't stand more than getting bullied, it's that without any motive, structure, or purpose. Happens all the time, I just deal with it, have done so for 7 years.
Oh no, wait, today was pretty cool actually. Researching our debate was very funny, some cool stuff came up, including the black sheep South Africa (read the other countries' statements first, it will be funnier):
Well, turns out that the FBI website also has a fun and games section, alongside tabs such as the infamous Most Wanted section, full of al-Quedans and Hezbollans (Lebanese and/or Saudi, take your pick). Seriously, out of the Most Wanted terrorists, one is white, with a Latino name. The rest are all called Mohammed or Abdul Faiz and belong to the aforementioned organizations. Now, either a) all Muslims are terrorists or b) all Americans are pretty damn biased. I don't know, take your pick. Both are epic generalizations. Ismail simply lolled, so I guess it's a pretty obvious conclusion. I mean, Mallett FTW, with that amount of random information we simply cannot lose! Just pop in a "Fun Fact" here and there, they will love that sort of thing!
I still have to write my damn speech dammit! Okes must stop distracting me with Facebook chat so I can get on with my
Drumming was shweet, now to do it in front of a crowd. Of OVER 9000!!!!!!
