Just a little bit nervouse
An insident has occured at school. Because it has to do with placeing unsutable material on the internet, I'm just a little bit scared about writting about it here. So I'll disclaim it first.
Disclaimer: I, the secret identity behind Jill Davies, does not in anyway support, indourse or agree with the ideas and claims made by the subject students on the subject website about S.t P.auls A.nglican G.rammer S.chool. The school acted responsably and sutably and I have the fullest respect for all staff members involved.
That should do. Anyway, a kid in my year level was required to hand back their enrolements (expelled) last week. Another kid in year 9 was maybe expelled or maybe just suspended we don't really know. These boy's cyber-crime was to make severail claims and allagations against the school several members of staff a fiew students and in particular the school chapplen on an internet phony insiclopedia. Many of these claims were of a sexual nature. No body has seen these former students since the school became awear of this text. The principle gave us a very stern lecture at assembally about it. He didn't name names but we all knew by that stage. Rumers are rampent as to the exact contents of this entry, and the IT students are doing there upmost to find a copy of it, even though IT services at schoold put changed the entry so that it now says possative stuff about S.t P.auls. I have never seen the Rev look so pissed. He was mad, with good reason. Thing is, we all know this kid. I play hockey against him. Now he's been expelled. Shit. We're all shocked that he was so stupid as to get cought.

Does anyone ellse do this?
Over the past 6 months or so I have notist a fononamum in my self that has been growing steadely worse. As I read fiction books, I adapt them into screenplays in my head. I know most people who enjoy reading fiction picture what's happening in their heads, but this is more extreme then that. For everything I read these days, at some point in the prosess of reading I put the book into one of two catagrees: whether it would adapt well onto screen or not. I don't enjoy reading them more or less depending on the catagry, and even if I decied that the stories not sutable for the medium I map it out anyway. I pause to work out camera angles and shot sequances, and if I don't like what I've come up with I'll often re-read a passage to get it right. I'll make dessiciens about what scenes should be cut and added, I'll come up with motiefs and colour scemes, I'll plan out sets that would be needed. Accationally, I'll even make estamates on things like length and cost. I'll also decide what places could be shot in a studio and which should be on location. There's been a couple of books which i've gone through with paper clips to restructure in a way that would work in a movie. The thing that hit me most about this was about a week ago when I realised that I'd just stoped for about six minutes in the middle of a page trying to think up a good musicel theme for the passage I was reading. (I couldn't continue intill I came up with one. I did.) I just want to know if this is in any way normal. So, does anyone ellse do this?
