Controversial News

Are you interested in the global and national news? I want to find out what sort of stuff you want from my blog. I could make this a news-desk kind of website, or I could continue posting completely random items that pop into my head. If you so wish, I could even do both, all I want is a comment saying what sort of stuff you want to read on my blog. And if you do post a comment, try to say what kind of news, I could post the week's weather, or some politics stuff, or the really interesting controversial news, like the aussie bushfires, or the situation at FFC (Fairfield College). So just tell me what you want, and I'll do my best to give it to you.

Silly Census

Warning: This post may contain incorrect information, and I am sorry if I offend anyone.
Have you ever done a census? Unless you are under the age of 4, you should have done one before. You know, one of those things where you put your name, age, D.O.B. and lots more. Do you remember that part where you have to put your religion? Well here in NZ we only get choices of the usual ones, like Christianity, Buddhist, Muslim. In some other countries, like the US (I think, not quite sure), there are much cooler religions to choose from. You could be a Jedi Knight, and worship the Force, or Yoda (or something). You could be a Spaghetti-ist and worship the Spaghetti Monster. Like Winged Hussar said, you could be a Pastafarian. There are so many cool religions on offer, and none of the cool ones are in NZ!!! May the Force be with you.

Rain, horrible rain!

I absolutely, completely and utterly dislike, show no affection for, or even slightly like the rain. I hate it when it is just pouring down, soaking everything and making everyone miserable. The endless stream of water falling, falling, and still falling that dampens everyone and their spirits. Cold rain that chills you to the core. Hard rain that stings like stones. Drizzle that makes you feel unhappy and sad. Warm rain that takes so long to dry. I hate rain.

More about my class

My class is still totally cool, a few days later. We are still doing awesome stuff, and even now I do not understand the awesomeness of our teacher and all my fellow classmates. I seriously recommend that you go into my profile, and follow one of the links to their great blogs. As we are an accelerate (pronounced ak-SELL-ar-at) class, we are all brainy learners. This helps us understand the world, study it, empathise with it, and help make it a better place. This year we shall do just that, and with Mr Woody as our teacher, anything is possible!

Bush Dwellers

On camp soon we are gonna be going on "OVERNIGHT". Overnight is super fun 'cause you get to sleep in tents or shelter somewhere where we are gonna be surviving on our own wits and how much we can carry in our backpacks (insert dramatic instrumental). Just kidding, but we will be tramping and living in the bush overnight. Last year at Port Waikato overnight was so much fun, and I reckon this year at Pauanui will be even more fun. 8-)
