h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I used to be scared of dragonflies when I was small. Then a few years ago I was obsessed with them. Now dragonflies are just dragonflies.

I have a new obsession every month practically! my mum says it's cause I'm a 'curious child' my friends just say I’m weird. I even have a book of all the obsessions I’ve ever had. Some times I’ll go back to things I used to be obsessed with along time ago. Right now my main obsessions are eyes, hhg, David Dixon, and the computer. Actually, the computer is more of an addiction then an obsession.

Oh well, I’m supposed to be doing home work now… but I’m not. I wanna go to bed. I’m sick… but I can’t miss any days from school because of the hurricanes. And I can’t do poorly in school because if I do I’ll get a detention. And I can’t get a detention because I have 3 auditions and I’m in “A Christmas Carroll” play at this huge theater!

Urgh! ………….so… how is every one else?

Computers, an addiction? Never! never!

Relaxed because it's Friday but stressed because it's the Year 12s last day of school ever, a.k.a muck up day, and they've played pranks all over the school. The theme this year was Barbie, so they'd stuck up pictures they'd taken all around the school of Barbie and Ken dolls in *ahem* suggestive positions. There was even one taken of them in the Principals office, and one of a History teacher kissing a Barbie doll with another tucked under his arm.
There was also silly string all over the lockers, and honey and Vegemite smeared all over the banisters, and more Vegemite on the toilet seats. Plus graffiti on all the windows and mirrors and chalked messages everywhere else.
Also, me being a boarder, the Year 12 boarders woke us up at 5 o'clock by yelling and banging and turning lights on, and then made us get dressed into casual clothes and did stuff to us like making us slide down a waterslide covered in shaving cream and dishwashing detergent, and painting our faces weird colours. We also had to bob for pears (not apples) and fish for coins with our feet in a bucket full of dirty water and broken eggs and stuff.
All this before school! The showers were clogged with people afterwards. Then they cooked us a really nice breakfast (bacon and eggs, pancakes with icecream... nice stuff!). And then we got to school and they were all in their mutilated uniforms and stuff. They hung a sign out the front of our school saying "Virgin Megastore" (we're an all girls' school). And there was heaps of other stuff all around.
You asked how I'm feeling? Well, right now I'm dead tired because of being up so early and I've still got two periods to go (although it's only double Drama - should be okay).

VEGIMIGHT! Hey I've heard of that. i have no idea what it is though... your school sound cool. i'm having to decide wich 3 high schoolds to audition for. It's so hard!

Yeah, Vegemite. It tastes like crap, but somehow all us Aussies remain loyal to it!

what is it, dare i ask?

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF VEGEMITE?
I thought all Americans had heard of it - it's one of those stereotypical Aussie things, except this one's true.
Anyway, it's essentially a breakfast/sandwich spread, it's black, it tastes like salty tar and is enriched with Vitamin B and somehow still manages to be popular. It's got a bitter taste.

the way you describe it, it sounds like Marmight. Urgh! IU hate Marmight. My mum loves it. Reminds her of home. She puts it on her toast. This morning my dad walked into the kitchen and saw toast on my mums plate. He only glanced at it and thought there was jam on it. He grabbed it for hime self trying to be a pain, and took a bight. He started gaging and my mum laughed. Thats what he get for stealing.

Yeah, Vegemite is kind of the same as Marmite, but Marmite tastes worse, in my opinion

ug! never heard of it! sounds bad! you know whats relly bad?

Bummer - you drank expired milk! Well, you're not dead yet, so don't worry too much. If you die, then you should be worried...

Aw thats nothing. I once drank milk that was a month over due! It was so gross! It was like jell, and just sloped into the cup.

when we got back from a trip, our grape juce had turned into wine! grooooossssssssssss!
cheers
ford

Alcoholic wine?

Hey Fred - if the milk just slopped into your cup, why did you drink it? You must have been really desperate or blind or something - or were you just trying to get that "one-month-old" taste?

Actually, I guess I didn't drink it. But it was gross!

yum....
i donno if it was alcoholic wine.... i threw it out! grossss!
i found a can of soup that weve had for ages... opened it and ate it... i thinnk it may have been rotten....
