-- List ten things you want to say to ten people but know you never will.
-- Don't say who they are.
-- Feel free to comment, but I'm not confirming or answering anything.
-- Never discuss it again outside of this post.
01) Why is it that every time we both audition for something, you get in and I don't? I'm sure you're a lovely person but I can't wait till you graduate.
02) Hey, how are you? The last time I saw you was at MathsWell, and since then there have been conflicting rumors about you and I don't know what to think. I hope you're okay, that whatever got you into hospital wasn't that bad and you're over it. You were my motivation at primary, and I've been going down the academic drains since. You'd better be better, and kicking arse at your snotty private school.
03) You're really fucking hot. Far out. So this is what NZ Idol does to a teenage girl.
04) What's up? You said we'd still be best friends when you went to college, but we fell apart. I'm into Gilmore Girls now, finally, my boy got me into it. Do you still watch it? I was just wondering how you've been lately, what's happened to you since primary. I kind of miss you. I wonder if we'd still get along.
05) I don't think I've been entirely honest with you, and I think it's because I'm so afraid to lose you. You know you can tell me anything, right? There isn't much in the world that I hate, but I'd hate losing you, because you are one of the few things in the world that never fails to make me happy. What is it you're after? because I want to make you happy, and some day, I want to marry you.
06) I'm not Catholic. I don't believe you can truly identify yourself as being of a religion unless you actually believe in it. I haven't believed in it since I was eleven. You can't tell someone what religion they are. Telling me to put Catholic on my Census form is telling me to lie to the Government.
07) Have you ever had a crush on someone you know you shouldn't have? Half the time with those jokes about us being made for each other, I'm only half-joking. There's this song I've been writing lately. Really cheerful tune, rather depressing theme, the fact I'm writing it at all depresses me.
it's about you.
08) I love you, but you really know how to ruin a moment.
09) Did you ever get my second letter? I bet someone thought it had anthrax in or something. I'm really disappointed I didn't get to go to New York this year because that's another year that goes by without seeing you. It's been eight years and so much has changed and there's no way to tell it all in a letter.
10) You manage to waste even more time than I do! I honestly have no idea how it's physically possible for one person to be that late/behind in everything. I've got something I need to tell you but I don't think you'd handle it well.
In the end I managed to get that science project done, in the form of a ballad in limerick which got Excellence!
The Ballad of Meningitis
Meningitis is caused by bacteria,
From the genus called Neisseria,
Specifically, meningitidis.
There’s a vaccine. I have tried this
Because the Government said it was necessary. uh...
Neisseria meningitidis (NM from now on for short)
Lives in our mucous membranes with all its cohorts.
They breathe oxygen,
Need a moist environment,
And do not try to move or contort.
NM is divided into strains.
It is group B that is the bane
Of the UK’s existence
Because of its persistence
Making membranes swell ‘round our brains.
Generally harmless, NM does on occasion
(no one knows why) make a penetration
Into one’s bloodstream.
It is now that one screams,
Because they will need medication.
From the bloodstream, NM will proceed
To the fluid surrounding our brains (which we need)
Where our nerves are affected.
When the brain is infected,
It swells up and may begin to bleed.
The symptoms (which give mothers a fright)
Include looking AWAY from the light,
Stiffness of the neck,
A head feeling wrecked,
Fevers, and muscle pain. It’s not a pretty sight.
Untreated meningitis has a high mortality rate
And 10% of cases have a fatal...fate.
A doctor hip to the meningitis jive
Will have antibiotics prescribed,
Or corticosteroids to those brains for which it’s a tad late.
New Zealand has developed a vaccine
To keep all our kids healthy (and clean and green)!
MeNZB, against NM group B strain NZ92/245,
Contains no bacteria, dead or alive,
Merely outer membrane vesicles to show the immune system that meningitis is obscene.
I also managed to finish that damn music project analyzing and kind of comparing Slice of Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody, even if it took three hours of listening to Bo Rhap on repeat and most of the music period to get it done. So it is now the holidays and I only have two pages of math, considerable amounts of music theory (it's so galling repeating a grade I got Distinction on and feeling so clueless - what the heck is a tetrachord??), and my Latin internal to do. Also I am planning to do the Heritage Dabbler interest certificate for Rangers, and go to an Anzac Day thingy for this (I don't just want to watch my boyfriend march around with a rifle [whistles]). And research the debate (negating "that professionalism has destroyed Olympic ideals" versus St. Mary's 2). And read the five books I begged the school library to let me have despite my few-days-overdue Johanna's World. And finish my mad cataloguing of my books, DVDs, and CDs in Excel spreadsheets. And babysit. Gee, what a relaxing holiday this will be.
Our family's headed off to some random campthing tomorrow, everyone else is up there already but we are crashing the party late. Just over Easter weekend leaving Sunday, somewhere by where that Cookie Time plane is. I am fairly pessimistic on it, as I tend to get pessimistic over anything combining the outdoors and my family (I'm probably just biased because I'm still disgruntled Mom bought airbeds when I said I was fine with my snowfoam). I'm just hoping they have cellphone reception. What can I say, I am a teenager.
I got Excellence on the Science (bio, microorganisms) test :D now if I get hit by a bus in/around exam season, I'm sweet, on Science anyhoo.
