tammaiyaAm making a concentrated effort to update LJ again, because it makes me sad to see how I've gone from making 10 posts a day to 1 a week. So.
Day went like such:
Got to school later than normal because dad was in Sydney, and therefore mum drove me, meaning it wasn't a case of "be ready or be left behind" unlike usual. Think buses vs taxis, and you'll have a good idea of the difference.
Had maths first period, spent entire free after doing maths homework. In other words, 100 minutes straight of maths. After that, I had history. We were in the library, and for ONCE I actually started doing my research. In the first research lesson, and EVERYTHING. I have a topic, I have notes, I have references, I know where to start. Such a pleasant change to be organised. The only time I got distracted was listening to Eugenie's theory about the Dark Ages. As she doesn't seem like she's going to update and enlighten you all, I'll do it for her and let her be huffy at me later if she so chooses.
Basically, she's going to become a Viking and revert the world to the Dark Ages. Why? So no one will be allowed to learn, and therefore there will be no Testing Week.
Me: *helpfully* Um, wouldn't you be discriminated against? For being female?
E: ... It would be a GENDER REVERSAL Dark Ages! Martin Luther would be my QUEEN, and I would be KING! Chief. Whatever.
Me: O_O
E: And there would be no learning. Or technology.
Me: Wouldn't you get bored, though? Without books or computers?
E: NO I WOULDN'T. I would eat GRAVY. And meat. Lots of gravy.
Me: Really. And the Reformation...?
E: Wouldn't happen, because I'd cure Luther of his silly Christian tendencies. Instead of his 95 Theses, he'd... um... make me 95 different types of gravy!
Me: What's with the obsession with gravy?
E: I LOVE GRAVY. One of my LJ interests is consuming gravy!
Me: Yes, I knew that, actually.
E: I'd eat gravy soup, if it existed!
Me: It does. I've eaten it.
E: WHAT? Really?
Me: Yep. When you make Oxtail soup or whatever, you're left with gravy soup.
E: That's not gravy! Gravy is when... (cooking intstructions for gravy).
Me: There ARE different types, you know.
E: Well, that's my favourite.
Me: What about the 95 different types of gravy, then?
E: ... They'd be made of 95 different types of meat.
Me: You'd run out. You'd end up with rat gravy.
E: Well, I wouldn't eat that one.
Me: You'd end up not eating, like, *50* of them!
E: He'd only make gravy of nice meat!
Me: So you'd send him off to make Elephant gravy?
E: Exactly.
Me: How do you propose he'll hunt the Elephant without technology?
E: He'll make a trap.
(now this is all out of order, but it's all word for word perfect from the "what is your obsession with gravy" bit. At some point Annie joined us. We filled her in, and the conversation continued in much the same fashion. At one point:)
E: You guys can be vikings too. But I'm CHIEF VIKING, okay? Or King. Or whatever.
A: So would we rape and pillage?
All: *pause to contemplate this* *snigger at the mental image*
E: Yes, we'll rape the noblemen.
Me: Um. How would that even WORK?
E: It probably wouldn't exactly be rape.
A: More like... speedy seduction.
Me: Yeah. Because in the old Dark Ages, the noble women were just like, "EEEE! Smelly viking men!"
E: Well we wouldn't be smelly! We'd bathe!
S: The noblemen would probably be happy.
E: Yep, it'd be more like castle burning down, hop behind convenient curtain, giggle giggle...
A: The people would LOVE us! "You may burn and loot our village, but hey! you give us sex." *pause* I'm going to lower my voice when Mrs Garden is that close.
Me: Yes, but I LIKE learning. I don't want no technology and no learning. I'll have my own Rebellion, if you don't watch it.
E: Oh, FINE. You can have Australia, and have your little Renaissance there.
Me: Ok, sounds good.
E: And Annie can have Estonia.
A: *snigger* Yay! Estonia!
E: And I get the REST of the world.
Anyway. Just assume we were giggling hysterically the whole time, because you'd be right.
Fourth period I had Japanese. We all simultaneously started doing Kanji work because Heidi-sensei hadn't told us what to do. She was very pleased and amused by that.
At lunch, I came up with DM-Anonymous in response to Jammie not knowing what to do with her homicidal characters, who are, incidentally, in an RP (DM) FILLED with homicidal characters. I suggested she send them to therapy or guidance councelling, and started mimicking DM Anynonymous: "Hi. My name is Red Soul, and I'm a cannibal." "Hi, Red Soul!" *cough* Ahem. Yes. Anyway. That was fun.
After lunch, I went home, and RPed for awhile. Jamie now has an LJ at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jamiedemonspawn. I blame this on Jina, as it was entirely her idea. And it's her fault that I had to have lengthy and time-consuming conversation with myself, too. *sulk*
Then I did maybe an hour or so of Japanese, and my back and neck are killing from hunching over the book. I also did some editing and practice of my English oral. All in all, I've actually been quite productive today. Aren't I good?
Oh, yes. And on the weekend I finished Monstrous Regiment and re-read the Fifth Elephant.
