A crumpled grumble

To those who've been requesting a font change to Adella behind my back, change your screen contrast/brightness darker you git, or go check your eyes. And yes, I don't care who you are, whether I know you or not, its still the same. Adella blogs for leisure, and is NOT submitting a lit essay which she will of course get 25/25. A little deviation here -->when I read 'unreadable coloured fonts' (which is quite often), I highlight the damned thing which is unreadable to the eyes, so that I don't have to bother the author of the site to change it just because my eyesight sucks. Now that Adella's changed the shade a bit, no more complaining ok? Poor Adella has exams next week, she needs to study, instead of changing the font colour on her blog. Now go eat some carrots you. I'm terribly sorry if I've offended, but I am a person who is driven by impulses, and not the brain=)

Anyway, because I'm procrastinating; having an inability to study, let me show some random pics:

Shoes!!++Greedy Del eating two cakes

Nat's yummy recess++The beautiful & the ugly

Umm yep, enough said.

I'm sleepy now, bye! (Going to dream about standard deviations with residuals and exponential regression lines floating around in the background now)

Tribute to Male Teachers

(before i launch off on some random rant...
for those who find this text colour annoying..
and well PLZ i welcome you..
if it hurts your eyes?
find a HTML colour code that will go with the white background..
that doesnt contrast as bad but still isnt too light for ppl so they can see..
since the change of colour is due to comment wishing for darker text..
so if you hate this colour PLEASE find a good one since...

A) I am HTML illiterate
B) I am pretty colour uncoordinated..

so feel free to leave a colour coding number thingy on the tagboard..
or under the comments bit)

hmm..
maybe time to start the actual main part of the post...

anyways..
i was on my way walking to the carpark from sumner today..
and scar goes and points out to me

forma strutting is NOT a good thing

wondering wat teh hell she was on bout..
i looked out.. and OMG...
he was ACTUALLY STRUTTING!!
like ok.. thinking "strutting" scarlet-ty word..
coulda just been like her use of "trotting"
but NO he was LITTERALLY STRUTTING..
mocking these school girls of the way they could possibly walk..
lol an image that really will be burned into my brain for a while yet..

anyways...
i was thinkin bout it..
then i started thinkin bout all the male teachers ive had over the years..
and really..
other than my primary school one..
which really means of the ones ive had for high school
they've been HEAPS fun..
ok fine so maybe we do blame em quite a lot for a whole bunch of
things just coz of the fact that they're so lax..
but still thinkin bout my school years..

i realised..

my whole high school experience
would have been so much more of a bore without em..
there's always been some kind of thing that i could talk bout..
when it comes to the male teachers of our school..
i mean seriously..
we may complain bout this..
or we may laugh bout some other uncomfortable situation they may have been in..
since they do teach at an all girls school..
eg. pre-ball fever + the number 69
something i doubt i'd forget for a while too...
tho thinkin bout it..
i wonder why the hell i didnt record forma strutting
maybe something i may regret now that i think of it..
it was scarring at that particular moment.
but it would be something which is something
to look back on and laugh like hell...

and what of wilson?
and mr O?
and how could we forget..
dear mr row..?
and well the new edition to the school...
mr nguyen..?
really..
for those who call em weird..
and annoying..
and well anything else..

each of them really have their own "thing"..
whatever it may be..
whether random facts..
being WAY too lax..
not being able to control the class..
having funny stories to share...
harsh marking of tests...
being funny..
giving lectures..
loves pracs...
believes in freedom of students...
loves to be the bystanders when accidents occur to see what we do..
be the receiving end of jokes of any kind...

thinking bout it..
the profession of teaching really is femininely dominated at the current...
(well it is isnt it? not sure since it may be diff elsewhere)
well esp when it comes to primary school teaching...
so really i think that with all the crap that the male teachers deal with..
(hmm some may get crap and others dont)
but anyways..
i just feel so grateful that they taught me over the years..
hmm and yeah.. thats my thoughtful/grateful post of the month..
not that it occurs often..

anyways..
nite nite
*hugz*

ps. was workin at the resto tonite
and i saw kim beazely eating at the resto..
i was like WOW..!! tho initially i didnt see him
and my dad was like "look KIMBERLY is eating at OUR resto"
and i was like "who teh hell is Kimberly"
until i looked in the general direction..
and realised..
OMG it was Beazely baby..
so yeah...
we "dont see Beazely baby jogging.. but i saw him at the resto"

Masks... Which One Should It Be Today?

Masks...
the thought sound familiar?
hmmm..
i'd say an "intertextual" link..
but it sorta isnt but anyways..
the link would be "masks" sound familiar?
Disney's Mulan the song "Reflection"
and well...
study of Gwen Harwood's Poem "Littoral"
the other day in lit really struck the thought..
the idea of "social masks"
and the line which goes along the lines of

dry pebbles in an empty skull
hear the old cliches roll!

just the idea of that common courtesy
and all those cliches and
that social routine that occurs

ie.
person 1: [insert greeting]
person 2: [insert greeting] how are you?
person 1: im good you?
person 2: great...

despite the fact that in some cases..
common courtesy and manners may sometimes be lacking
if really said in the wrong tone..
its just feels SO fake..
ok so if its some random off the street....
fine it makes sense common courtesy is required..
peeople say hi to you you say hi back and ask how they are..
some customer or clientele who u dun wanna sustain a convo with..
fine as well..
but ugh i dunno the whole structure thing seems to be
such a big part of the whole social facade..
and yeah i do it too
but still sometimes i just really hate that feeling...
like that whole appearing so friendly..
when really im in the worst possible mood on earth..
but still i just still go on and plaster on a smile
and sound just so "happy" -.-
i dunno
maybe im just a total hermit crab who likes my own lil solitude...
well at least i enjoy being round ppl who im really familiar with..
but put me outside the comfrot zone and i feel fake..
unrealistic.. like taking on some form or another..

how much do ppl put on masks?
like scar's once posted analogy on her blog not mine...
each person's different side being a form of foundation..
whether or not the concealer is a good one?

Another thought is that of the whole
is it our choice to be so friendly and cheerful when addressing ppl?
or just teh fact that yeah its just total social expectation?
do we "choose" to do something to conform to the ideologies
of expected social behaviour
which is meant to be part of "civilised society"

*note the " "*

or that we just do it for the sake of it out of no particular thought..
just coz thats what we've developed as a habit..
since we've been brought up that way..
its the way in which we choose to relate to each other at first meeting?
(you know since this is actually written over like 3 days..
i think ive lost the main point of this post..
but anyways i try to continue...)

bleh..
ill just accept the fact that its just outta total habit..
cbb continuing a train of thought that's been derailed .. -.-

nite nite...
will start a new post some time tonite...
*hugs*

Cadets rocks my jocks....

Today I learnt that one of Adella's dearest friends, namely Panda from Melbourne will be visiting Perth soon. Following his departure, Albie should be arriving soon? Yay, Adella has been missing you guys like crazy. Behave yourselves ok? Don't upset Adella, don't pull her hair, don't draw on her with pen, don't invite yourself to search through her pencil case without permission, don't not take pictures with Adella, don't not go out at least once to meet Adella, Understand? The previous are things which are forbidden. Understood? I take that as a no, but anyhow, REMEMBER it!!

PS. Scarlet welcomes bribes, and accepts money orders, cheques, food, chocolate, icecream, credit cards, travelling cheques and any electronics but sadly not western union money transfer, direct debit, bpay, paypal, or BOBs.

Thank you for your cooperation

Just to piss Adella off, I'll just scribble a few words here. Yes, Adella's previous post seemed to follow Scarlet's style of writing. Scarlet was reading, eyes bulging and all and going "whoa baby, someone is capable of impersonating scarlet the great"

Anyhow I shall depart now, (and stop floating between first and third person point of view). Bye everyone!

PS. Adella seems to be hooked onto these quizzes. Maybe she's addicted to it!

hmm still lost for talk..
and i really feel like posting too :(

ah well..
lets talk of del's absolute existance of the last 2 weeks
of which back to school felt like it was entirely..
lets just say the "bubble world" i live in..
well it was no longer filled with happy things..
it was filled with a solution of assessments and assignments..
(and hmm.. this is not my writing style..
or at least it doesnt seem so..
seems more scarlet-ty..)

well really..
ive practically been just in a mode of bare exisitance..
where every day was an assessment.
where's all the fun gone..?
well actually i wonder if it existed at all in the past..
but still..
basically..
tomorrow the "week before exams amnesty" officially begins..
and now its sorta semi started..
i utterly THANK GOD for it..
tho the last 2 weeks i was practically cursing it..
^^"

well due to this amnesty...
which means there can be no assessments the week before exams
therefore all teachers who want an extra assessment in before exams
decided to cram it all the 1 and half weeks before the amnesty.
resulting in..
a test everyday minimum...
with the exams upcoming..
minus the actual exam bit..
im acutally really welcoming the exams..
giving me a bitta time at home to get study done..
tho whether i get any study done is a whole nother story..

i was thinking this morning..
the fact that mr forma was like

you are a completely new person every 7 years

ah back in the day's of forma's class..
truthfully thinking back..
i miss those times..

anyways..
i was thinkin bout it..
and realised with the whole 21st being so important..
its also a multiple of 7..
which means at that age..
every single cell of your body has been regenerated..
tho im not sure bout the whole neurons thing tho..
(learning bout CNS and brain atm for h bio)
hmmm any connection? :P
like 18 is an official age to be considered to be an adult..
and well before for girls 16 was the debutante ball
which is like coming out ball
and now its sweet 16 age of consent..
but what rite of passage is 21?
personally i dunno
but i sorta concluded.. "you are a whole new person" :P
hmm... that was pointless...

god..
and over the night..
since i sorta stopped typing a while ago..
ive dropped back into that little state of
in between numbness and i dunno..
just this sorta how would you say it..
like crest fallen attitude?
i dunno..
whatever it is i hate it yet..
it comes creeping in so often..
*sigh*

you know today..
school finished..
and since i had a geog test last period..
i went to the locker and was like
YAY!! its the weekend
-.-
shows how much i wish it hadn't flown by eh?

funny..
im lacking so much sleep yet i havent gone to sleep yet..
guess its sorta still early...

oh and the note..
new template/layout..
since i began to realise that stuff was getting cut off
the end of the last template on my posts and well..
that meant that if anyone read it really meant having to scroll
sideways..
personally i hate that..
so :(
so sad had to go layout searching all over again..
and i had just changed it
*sigh*
and after bout an hours worth..
guess this is what ill have to deal with for a while..

and due to the whole "disappearing" of tagboard..
once in a while..
well a lot lately..
well to compensate for taht..
ive put back in the whole comments bit at the bottom of the post..
so if it disappears again..
feel free to just comment at the bottom of each post instead
^^

exams next week..
have i said that already?
dunno..

hmm..
over the weekend..
was the CCGS ball
followed by Mother's Day..
one helluva LONG weekend it was..
well actually it was so busy it flew by..
but i feel like ive lacked a weekend
so the last 2 weeks plus this one..
feels like its dragged together to combine into some
REALLY long school period ><

ball..
was good..
tho i guess half way thru the night..
i sorta worked out waht the glitch was..
and well found out the full story behind that by the end of the nite..
and really..
all i can say..
is that if i knew..
if i'd known the truth earlier
then i think that i dont think i woulda gone..
it was his ball..
im grateful for what he did..
but it really was his ball..
he coulda just ditched me i wouldnt mind..
i mean face it its happened too often for me to personally care..
he had the rite in the whole choice thing..
but i guess its over...
so lets just put that in the past..
so summing that bit up..
minus the glitch it was great :D
but cmon lets face it..
not as good as MLC over all :P
ah well id say that since not all my friends were there..

Mother's Day..
well i woke up at 7 am..
and had the annual ritual of assistance of flower selling..
so therefore there was no afters attendance..
im a good girl ^^
so yeah...
of which for the first time..
i was sitting with my sister waiting outside..
for like customers..
and we were at a bench..
my arm round my sister..
and this lady walks past..
and says

Happy Potential Mother's Day

something of which..
im still personally questioning..
whether or not it should be taken as an insult..
or just some random comment or greeting..
ah well..
to that matter i guess i shouldnt bother wasting thought.
when i should be studying..
but still it was just such a strange thing for me..
*shrugs*
then went to temple..
then went to grandma's for family gathering..
and that's my Mother's Day..

totally exhausting..
tho really typing it out like that it seems like nothing..

hmmm..
parents home..
and i betta get some sleep
nite nite
*hugz*
