Things that have made me laugh today

Joe being god and feeling the need to tell me so at 2 in the morning.

Julie waking me up before school to tell me about several things.

One being a boy called Ryan who was off school for so long someone decided to tell everyone that he was in Ethiopia making sandals for the poor. Everyone decided this was true including their geography teacher. He was just ill or something.

He has boils on his nose and she cannot listen to a word he says anymore.

Some other guy greets her friend with the words "Hey Jiffy Big Cock." Jiffy is her nickname you see. This was the result of trying to work out what JBK stood for. It was John Barrowman Kidnapping. Point is I was not expecting that greeting in the middle of the story about:

An exchange between him and Julie.
Boy: You still writing they mad stories?
Sis: Yes.
Boy: But they're jakey.
Sis: I get money for writing them.
Boy: Naw you don't
Sis: Yes. I got £1000 for my last one.
Boy: But they're jakey.
Sis: Mmm money
Boy: I bet I coulda written them better.
Sis: Money, money, money
Boy: You didn't get £1000.
Teacher: Yes she did. I read about it in the newspaper. Well done, Julie.
Sis: Money, money, money, maybe I should buy Catherine something nice like Guitar Hero or a Wii or a good book.

Kate Beaton and John Campbell having a historical comic fight.

It is only half past nine. Either this will be one hell of a day or it I've had all the fun I'm allowed and sadness will descend.

Quite frankly I had a fucking fantastic idea for a story and the scene won't leave my head but I don't remember all the little details I came up with because I couldn't find a notebook that I liked. I miss my little Papaerblank. They don't have them anywhere. But anyway I have an exam tomorrow morning and another the day after so perhaps I should study.

And the archaeological society finally decided to have an Indiana Jones marathon this Friday. Only it costs £5 to get in and we have to pay for drinks and stuff and I have the dvds at home for free. Anti-social yes but thrifty.

Speaking of thrift I just ordered Shoot em up for £3. Who's gonna see Clive Owen shoot things and have sex with Monica Bellucci?

I am, because I rock.

One last thing. I found an ad for some radio company that's looking for people to write short screenplays for adverts. I don't know why I find that amusing. I think it has something to do with the fact that I remember writing adverts for various enterprising things at school and the boy who could pick his own nose with his tongue hid in the back for one of them before leaping out and proclaiming "no purchase necessary" from nowhere.
