Design

Designers are the luckyest and best and most important people in the world, according to the head of the design department and Swinburn University. I just finnished the three day short course. I learnt lots of things, including how to use flash, how to make chairs out of cardboard, 85% of designers wear all black and where to get the best icecream in the world. (It's this cafe on Chappel st), I also learnt that I need an enter score of at least 90 after middle band to get into film school. Hah! it's not an "only idiots go to film school" thing, you need damn good grades for it, take that Mr Ryan who wanted me to do all maths science subjects. Okay I'm over that now. I reccon my school must be cursed. Another teacher has died. That's the thired one in three years. Speaking of school, it starts again on Tuesday. Shit! I need to do homework. On really good news, I HAVE TICKETS TO GREEN DAY! There seat tickets, in the second tear, but still IT'S GREEN DAY! That's all I can think of to write right now, so I'll just wish you the time of your life and let you get on with it.

hat

I brought a hat today. it's black with white lines on it. This is the point where everyone says, "That's nice Jill, but is there anything interesting going on?" Well I say this: Hats are interesting! How dare you say that my new hat isn't interesting! I'm wearing it now. My parents say that Crazzyness's proposed adult escort idea for Greenday is satisfactory, so provideing tickets can be purchesed and no other unforseen obsticles arise, I CAN GO TO SEE GREEN DAY! Now back to my hat. I walked into this shop @ the DFO, and I saw a hat stand. So I walked up to it and found one I liked. Then I brought it. So now I have a new hat. I like hats. Then, I got two new shirts that match my hat. They are both black. (The crowed gasp @ this new developement, who would have guessed that she would ware something black!) I'm going to this design course @ Swinburn on Tuesday. I think it's mostly to teach us how great it would be to learne design @ Swinburn. I think I'll ware my hat.

I can't be bothered thinking up a title

Okay, first is news. My little sister broke her arm. Really badly. I don't know the details coz I'm not a boneoligest, (I am quite aware that that isn't a real word.) But it's her upper arm and she's counting down time between when she can have painkillers. Don't you hate it when your normally impeccable grammar fails you? Did that even make any sense? Does anything make sense? Am I just typing crap? Fuck is my brain ever dead today. Right, moving on, lets talk about the NZ election. Last I hearth, Helen Clark won but not by much. Something to the effect of 1%. And they are still counting the last of the votes. Tense. With things so tight forming alliances is going to be tough, there is a chance the government will collapse, which would be bad coz I have a lot of respect for the NZ parliamentary system, considering it to be if not the best in the world then close to. The Maori party gained four seats. That's probably enough of that.

I have received requests for more information about my play. Okay hear goes. For amateur and underage playwrites and there acting companions there is basically one way to get a production to happen, and this is through programs which sponsor them that come with colored booklets with words like "encourage" all over them. They generally have really lame names to, this one is called "expressions", and come with "guidelines". Guidelines is another word for "do this or get the hell out." The guidelines that I have ever so nicely stuck to are thus: It must be only one act long, so they can stick more then one play in on one night. It must involve in some way, a banana, an old sock, a character called spike, and the fraze "It's hard to get good help these days" There are also hidden rules which I have found out about the hard way in previous years, such as: No witchcraft, no incense, no pentergrams, no candles, no chanting, no ghosts making contact with the living, in fact, no seonses at all. I actually have no idea how to get tickets, I'm going to have to find out. They're probably going to sell from the gate, it's not like there's going to be a sell out. It's at the Warragul arts center, Warragul can be found in most reputable melways, it's about 100km east of Melbourne.

The next Shakespeare

I've written a play. It's fare dodge, but I'm hopeing that doesn't matter. I have some wondiful actors (and some mid range actors) lined up and ready to take center stage in "The Joe Christiansen Experoment." I'm the director! *she listens patiantly while everyone laughs at that thought.* So far, a few problem have been encounted: I can't find any male actors that arn't either otherwise engaged or genetically modified, I have three actors all wanting the same part, (I don't know hwy everyone likes that charector so much), and I have to take out all the swearing. No big deal about the swearing, there wasn't much. I just need to replace the word "fuck" with the word "damn" in a few places. (shit is okay now aparently). I don't know what I'm going to do about the multi-actor crises. It's pretty much a two horse race, maybe I can have them fight for it. Or prehaps some kind of act-off. The not enough guys problem is a big one. I need at the very least two guys, I think I can get one after he's finnished haveing his genes modified, I don't know where the other one's going to come from. Who'd want to be a direcor? People keep comenting on my stage directions, I can't think why.

"The Joe Chrstiensen Experioment" will be showing at the Warragul Arts Center on October the 24th, 25'th or 26th.

Subject selection

Sob! I had to drop ceramics.
It's VCE subject selection time, and time for my major delemer. My problem is that I want to do so many subjects that I can't possibly fit them all. I eventually managed to get the units down to 12, but it meant some tough decisions. I'm not going to do art in year 12, I can only do one unit next year and need to drop it completely after that. That really sucks coz I really love art. I can't do psychology either, which I really wont to but don't have room. I'm really into all that stuff, but I don't wont to have to drop another arts subject. I'm keeping Visual Communication and Design, (or "Graphics" as more boring people call it) but my insecurities makes me worry about that one to, along the lines of "why the fuck am I doing that when I completely suck at it" VisCom is one of those subjects where you can get all A's but still be terrible at it. I'm doing chemistry and Biology, good old science. I should probably do bio units 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 I know. But world peace did that so I can't. I also wanted to do two Mathses, (do you know what the plural for maths is?) but I again I don't have room and it would be of no use for me anyway except that I like maths. (really). 1 unit of regular English and one of literatures to top it off. I wanted to do two units of both, but I wanted to do a lot of things that I didn't. Then of course there's Ethics. ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH. If I didn't have to do ethics then I could do art. Mean tokanisticly Christian school. I quite like all those God study subjects, but I like art more. The future is heading in like a high speed train, and every aspect of this school system is designed to make it hard. Well, at least I can drop commerce.
