my mother said i wasn't to shirk from reorganising my cupboard anymore, so i ploughed through more boxes today. resolutely threw out half a drawer full of cassette tapes. (i can never get over the fact that ours is a generation that still knows what cassette tapes are) and while shaking out my tempest notebook i found just one sheet of the yisheng compiled humanz quotes. goodness! did mrs rollins really say "i was not alive 600 years ago, even though you might not believe it?" and mr sowden on prince charles: "he talks to plants, so he can't be all bad." and mr hughes told us we'd love the italian wars because "they will suit your mentality - they're twisted" and that he supports a worldwide government provided it's based in cardiff. fay's suggestion on cost-savings in desalination plants "build a multi-level one." su-lin: "don't you think it's really stressful to be a tree?" julian: "i wandered lonely as the haze". choonping: "i want a parallel brain!!" we'll have to get yisheng to send them round again. speaking of yisheng i seem to have found part of the script for redhill blues. and i found choonping's script for "flight", and his translations of english nursery rhymes into french, pencilled in his rounded hand. this room is full of things that belong to other people, it seems.

other things found that belong to other people:

adeline's thirty years war essay
kenneth's some history 5 essay (i can't read his handwriting - i'm amazed any handwritten essay of kenneth's exist - i thought that boy couldn't live without his computer
christopher's lin yi lian cd
von's purple highlighter (i'm throwing it out becos it's dried up)
poon's french wars of religion notes
addy's napfa report
kg's psc psychological interview letter

and i found the epitaphs again!!!! including that damn famous issue of "baozhen hen ben dan" did we only do five issues? then i think i have them all. and i never noticed - but there's a very smudged piece in one of them - su-lin's revisionist lotos-eaters. and a lot of anti-zhang laoshi "shui hu fan le, shui liu chu le!" type snarky remarks. and poach's drawing of a milo bottle. the next time we have an rgs girls' night out i will bring them. i'll post bits as i go along.

poach and i on why we don't do home work:

me: wo xiang tui xue jia ren
poach: wo xiang jia gei yu fu
me: ni de yan guang tai lan le. wo ne, wo xiang jia gei fu wong.
poach's comeback: yu fu guo de ri zi ziyou zizai, yu ge chang wan.

oh juvenalia! *roll around* we were clearly idiots. i'll have to put these somewhere safe. more anon...
