being sick at fearghalls also other stuff

Work experience has been fun the actual work is alright but the main reason for it being fun is the fact that Dean and Jack are there, over the past few days me and Dean have slipped over in funny ways. I slipped over running away from Jack in a corridor I tried to turn a corner and because I was running pretty fast and the corridor was narrow I carried on going forward while turning and so slipped over, it was apparently comical to see as i was laughing like a retard, then the next day Dean slipped on a stone while we where outside it was funny but not that funny but strait after he fell backwards into a large (enough for a human) empty flower box me and Jack burst out laughing it was so funny, the rest of the day he kept nearly falling over and me and Jack kept laughing. Its a bit embarrassing because one time in class I had a bit of BO and ever since then Dean rinses me calling me BO boy but I mean it wasn’t really my felt I have never had BO like that before it was really weird also I had no deodorant to cover it up because I don’t really need it but now I am paranoid and I bring deodorant with me just in case but it hasn’t happed again. But this is where I get my own back Dean is now known as scaly hand on account of his hands being so rough and dry. I felt sorry for Jack though because I found a few gray hairs on his head and he is only 17 it makes me worried that I will get gray hair some day soon and also I felt a bit bad because me and Dean where saying how he was an old man.

The work experience is now finished my favourite part was making fish out of aluminium cans as this was not as monotonous as making the waves where all we did was thread fabric through some kind of netting.

Went to fearghalls it was alright but is sad because Liam has been chucked out of tree surgeon college I feel bad for him but he seems not to care that much he seems to be mega popular and also allowed to do what ever he want he like stay out for days and stuff. it was really annoying though because after a bear I through up on fearghalls wall I think it was because I was ill with swine flu because a day or two after I was sick at my house it made me scared I was going to die but at least I wasn't going to die with gray hair like jack (just kidding) but yeah I am better now. Also at fearghalls we played monopoly which was fun and also the usual wii games (golf and brawl).

Went back to school been making sock puppets which is ok but slightly painless our sock puppet kicks ass though. but it was really annoying because I was doing a back drop and I needed help paining it jack painted the pool balls and put shadows on them then he was like oh look at my amazing shadows you weren’t going to put shadows and I said yes I was but he just dismissed it and was like oh yeah well why did you look at the image to check and I was just checking to see where he should put them but then I just said yeah because I assumed he know how to do shadows. Then he got people to say what their favourite part of the painting was and obviously they said the poll ball because they where centre focuses and they where basically on a plinth of green. I mean most people are goanna say the thing that draws your eye because it is different from the stuff around it happening to be green. And it annoying because it has happened before when he showed me how to do a shadow on photoshop and everyone said nice shadow. From now on I will not let jack colour in help shade or paint anything because he is a bitch that chose centre focuses stuff. I mean I am glade that he helped me with the photoshop stuff and the comments about the shadow where ok but to choice the poll balls which are the interesting part and then get everyone to say how great they are god.

Well that is the end.

start, stop and start

Ok so art yeah art has been good this year a lot like year 10 and year 11 rolled into one except with all the fun/not so fun aspects of year 10 I had a few crushes which me being the lame ass that I am did nothing about although to be fair in year 10 I asked out a girl and she said no so maybe this is why I did nothing. My music tastes have now diversified from not liking much to liking a lot and giving everything a chance, also I have started to stop playing piano which is annoying it is mainly because I have had a lot of maths to do but I shouldn’t let maths bully other aspects of my life especially as music is more important/fun then maths. So my goal is to be able to play at least 2 songs that I actually like the whole way through on piano. Also I have found my old violin I was re-tuning it and accidently broke one of the string so I replaced it and now I have another instrument although it is a bit small for me as it is ¾ size but still I might learn a few songs on it after I learn a song the whole way through on piano. Oh yeah to bring us back to the beginning of the blog I thought that a girl might like me but I really wasn’t sure if I wanted to go out with her because she seemed a bit weird and she seemed to be some kind of alcoholic but I don’t maybe I am being to picky. Yeah made some good new friend like Dean who is a funny guy and I have become better friends with Tj, Anthony even though he has left and Christian. Something that I have noticed about art is that you can never say that you have learned it all before because even if you have learned a process you still need to practice, for example say you have already learned how to draw you still need to practice to get better you need to draw from life, observation, imagination and from other forms of reference also you need to try out different styles of drawing. Recently I was teaching some year 6’s and it made me wish that I was that age again but with the knowledge of what I like now and what I like doing so that I could practice the skills I needed earlier and by now I could be great, although looking at a person in my class who seemed to know what she was doing from a young age called Rebecca I might retract that statement as it seems that she is set in her ways and un open to adversity or to change her opinions she has social problems but she is amazing at art if that had to happen then I would probably prefer it the way it is. Been working with jack and dean on a work experience thing with my mums boyfriend who is a talented artist and it is the most annoying thing because he is a artist who produces amazing art work but only gets paid at tops 15k a year when people working in a pointless office job probably get paid more I think it is really shit I think it might be because he doesn’t publicise enough but still he should be rich I my opinion. it was fun today because me jack and dean had a fight in the park and had races and things also we made two waves out of recycled material which I was pleased with because it was hard weaving all the strands of material into the piece and also the wind kept blowing dust in our eyes.
To finish I am looking forward to a Lisa Hannigan gig which I will probably blog about and also I bought Madvillain album which is good.
