Today:

• Australia play their first match of the 20Twenty World Cup.
• I'm involved in a frantic, overcrowded car ride to MJ's house and then back to school again. We needed to borrow some XBox controllers to play Halo Two (which I had never played at school before, mind) at a mate's house, however he remembered half-way there that he only had a ( Read more... )

It's roughly nine-thirty, and Im sitting in Literature class next to MB, and Ive forgotten my bloody text.

Oh, what to do? We've got a sub, so I make myself busy by plugging in my headphones and daydreaming about cricket.

But I suddenly have a blinding flash of inspiration, and decide to start doing something a little different. Spurred on my ever- ( Read more... )
