Emmy you and your friends are so mean.
Espescially to me.
I am crushed.

"letters to alice" by Fay Waldon

This is cool.

"It takes great courage and persistence to swim against the stream of communal ideas. The stream itself is so much part of daily existence, it is hard to see it for what it is, or understand that it flowed in quite a different direction in other decades"

Sometimes I really like extension english. its so much better than normal advanced english which is totally sucky.

emmy the great

Ok well a certain someone wanted me to write a post on a certain Miss Shanahan (aka. Miss Shana-Lynch, Em-Shaz, Emmy, Shanny, Shan, The Shan, The Shaz, Miss Hanashan etc etc) so here it is as requested!

Ok, Emmy is my Modern teacher and she is a bit over-the-hill, being 26 and unmarried and all. She is cool and acts young though which fortunatley makes up for her over-the-hillness. Our classes run wild which is always good, we always seem to learn something though even though we feel like we don't, however some cynical people *cough* Spesh *cough* KK *cough* still insist we don't. The other day we had a debate about who was better and a better teacher; Mr Watson or Miss Shanahan, and I stuck up for you Emmy, even though it was a close thing to call.

She speaks like a BILLION languages, which is so totally hot, and in our first ever lesson she taught us how to say "I want Vodka, give it to me now!" in Russian or Croation or something. She likes to try and kill herself by travelling to Uzbekistan, Uzhdasjdnaskd, KABKJBdsjkdbsfd, Iraq, Iran and other such countries in which bombs go off every day and the government has issued "no non-essential travel warnings on"

She is full into the performing arts crap, like always doing backstage stuff for musicals and plays etc even though shes the teacher newbie. She can tap-a-tap-a-tap-a and did so in front of the whole school to a hip-hop song for charity. Twas fantastic. When she puts makeup on she looks like 15 years old and hence she still gets asked for ID when getting into clubs and is jealous that I don't get asked and I'm only 16 :P

She's not modest and thinks she's smart; and tells me all the time, thinking I don't believe her, when I damn well do. Just cause she's done like 100 million degrees and was offered some highpaying HR managment job but "turned it down for us". She always tells us to "shutup" and like attacks us, hitting us with bottles etc and forcing our hand to write on the page.. tsk tsk. But don't you worry, oh readers, we return the favour ;)

Even though she runs away from me when she's at school cause some stupid girl did some stupid thing and now she's in trouble (I prolly shouldn't mention it on the internet!) and all paranoid, she's still a good talker and listener when she wants to be. She helped me decide my uni degree which is cool, listened to my boring stupid problems and thinks I'm good enough to do history extension even though i still don't really believe her.

She's always mean to Jacki but espesciallyJess, whom she blocks and makes funny lesbian jokes which the rest of the class enjoy but not her. But it's alright, we all do it to good ol "Spesh" :P We love you Spesh. Jacki likes to stalk her and manages to fuel the rest of the class along, which prolly freaks Emmy out, but oh well.

When we turn 18 and leave school she shall have the privlege of hanging out with us, becuase she (and i quote from herself) is "a loser with no life" who will enjoy our crazy party-hard company. She has many men. She broke up with Timmy after her face swelled up in America. Now she has a hot date with a hot Luke and she shall invite him to her place for drinks. She's a man's lady. Or something like that. I don't get those crazy expressions.

She likes kids. She wants to have kids. But she better do it soon because she's a bit over the hill. She blew me off when I tried to say my thing we did in French about her. It cut me deep man. She's good at History (surprise, surprise) I threw a sponge at her face for charity. She does nice stuff for charity. :P She hardly ever teaches us becuase some disaster or another always comes up. Like the whole 2 weeks before the exam we had no teacher cuase of some random jury duty, or death or swollen face thing and that was kinda diastrous for our class... lol.

Her favourite country is Jordan. Even though like its very dangerous like all the other countries she travels to. She got stung by a bee and had to go to hopsital during school. Well we thought it was a bee but it actually was a spider. So the "BEE BETTER" card we lovingly made her didnt have the effect we had hoped. But she liked it all the same. It sits on the desk. Hopefully right next to the Miss Shana-Lynch picture we made her.. :)

She looks like this cute little girl in the junior school who likes to dance and sing with a lil pink chubby face and brown plaits called Seryna. Cept Emmys hair is like light brown and looks boring up but nice down even though she never wears it down. She throws up when she gets nervous which is like sooo disgusting. Eew.

Ok I've written a lot. That should be enough for you know! And just to clear this up Emmy forced me to write this so I'm not as weird as you are all thinking I am right now!!

Peace xx

ouch nose

Well. I fractured my nose. It hurt.
I was at the "Come Together Festival" at Luna Park on saturday night, where like 20 bands play at different times and there's like a bar area with DJ and free rides and lots of funness. But I was in a Karnivool mosh (they were very good btw) and I got like caught on the edge of a bullpit and some guy was going crazy and like he was swinging his arms around and he smashed me in the nose (and Ben in the eye at the same time) so hard that I actually fell onto the ground. And it hurt so damn much and Ben dragged me off the the First Aid ppl and it was bleeding and swollen for a day and aching like hell, and its still hurting a bit now, like 5 days after. But at least its not bent which is good. Cause then it couldnt be fixed. Gosh I always fracture stuff that can't be fixed... my nose.. my back.. argh...

bye bye targie

Well I now officially no longer work at Target. My last shift was really sad. Lisa put me on Sound Bar, which was fabulous, as it was like the ultimate last time revenge against Jo Moore, who's spent the last 6months trying to get me kicked off there; the one place she knows I love, and put permanently on Register 2; the one place she knows I truly hate.

But anyway I was on there and as usual the time passed quickly, i had fun talking to sam, and he made fun of me cause i was leaving target for "designer pyjamas" and he said that i would regret leaving becuase i would be surrounded by "pyjama snobs" :P I love Sam he's so cool.

Anyway James, my Sound Bar newbie who I helped train arrived at 1 and then i was like... crap.. i have to leave... forever... and it was very sad. So I hung around like a whole extra half hour just workin on sound and talking to James. He was sad, he was like "you can't leave me, I won't survive on my own" it was so cute. And I handed him over the keys before I left and it was like (*cough* Special Jessie *cough) symbolism, i was like.. here are the keys, you are now taking over my job (becuase he was he was like my replacement) And yeah I hugged all my Sound Bar boys goodbye and it was very sad.

And then I went walking round the store saying goodbye to everyone and by the time I had gotten to my last person; Karen, I was like crying. So so sad. I mean I hate Target so much, but at the same time i was so sad to be leaving because all the great people there was what kept me going. I mean Sheree managed to keep me working there for a whole year longer than I wanted to. (Sheree wasn't there it was sad) So yeah I finally walked out of Target after clocking off for the last time and I couldn't stop crying it was just so sad and I was like Beth you are so pathetic but oh well, and everyone looked at me :P

So yeah there were heaps of ppl that I didn't get to say goodbye to cause they werent working, but everyone has made me promise to visit them and i've made them promise to visit me, so im sure ill get over it soon but at the moment im still lamenting my loss! :P
