Reading MelMel's journal

Righto, time for a quick update. yesterday my brothers final year of school rsults came in. we have the VCE in victoria. basically, you end up with an ENTER score, and depending on your ENTER you can go to uni. Dan did good. i mean, really good. he 98.9 out of a possible 99.95. no, there is no score of 100. dont ask why, i do not pretend to understand our system (which, by the way, makes cheating it alot harder)

So I'm really proud of him. there were a few things he wasn't happy with of course. his favourite subject History Revolutions wasn't as high a mark as he hoped. mind you, he was aiming for a perfect score. anyway, he achieved a perfect score in English Language (you know, the science and maths behind english. sentence constructs, bizarre patters etc. i dont understand a word of it.)

Me, well my latest creative projects are:

1. fixing my tie-skirt. I'm not sure if i mentioned the skirt i made out of neck-ties here? well, it is really awesome. i was really happy with it. until i lost weight and had to remove two ties. which is the project. i shall call it "operation fix tie-skirt" unless of course someone could come up with a better name...but i really dont think that's possible ;)

2. christmas presents. i decided i'll make a mixture of pillows and bags to give people. so i bought shit loads of material, and i'm ready to go!

My day yesterday also deserves careful...laughter.

me and a bunch of 8 others from school (that's it Mel, throw away all your grammar in the first sentence) went to the cinemas to see School of Rock. you know, one of those many things i do for novelty factor. so we got there took our seats and the theatre was basically empty...there were maybe 15 others there. so the previews started, we ignored them and entertained the cinema by singin christmas caarols. then we see the opening scenes from scary movie 3. about 10 minutes into scary movie three the idot in the tech-box works out they're playijng the wrong movie and abruptly turns it off, and the lights back on.

and we sit there for about, i dont know...15 minutes or so. no word from any one. no "sorry, we having some problems, just sit tight and we'll play the movie as soon as we can". absolutly nothing. in the end it came back on but then we had to watch all the fucking previews again. so in the end we finished 50 minutes late. and they showed the opening scenes of an MA15+ film to these two little 9 year old boys. so im writing the company one of my famous "fuck-off" letters. you know, make them feel properly guilty. there lucky these kids parents weren't there, then they'd be in deeep shit. i just couldn't believe they didn't want to cover their arse like that. if it were me, the first i'd do would be send one of my many minimum wage employees serving pop-corn to say "sorry for the inconvienence".

so that's my bitch at cinema company.
