Will anyone else sponsor me for the famine?

"War isn't about who's right. War is about who's left."

(Quote courtesy of Alanna)

Do you ever feel like just an accessory in someone else's life? Like you only exist as a personnage figurant, to add colour and mood to another person's story. I feel like that all the time. I also feel that I'm the centre of the universe and everyone exists in relation to me.

In case anyone was wondering where I was at lunch, I had to go home to get my gym shorts. Congrats Alanna regarding that bronze at provincials! Oh and the same to the improv team...did I say that already? No? Much better than my recent provincials experience. (By the way, I get to miss science tomorrow to watch the Global debate!)

I played significantly better than last time at badminton, comme d'habitude. I did lose every game (comme d'habitude) but as I am fond of saying about tournaments, It's the thought that counts. I was thinking about that birdie going over the net. I was thinking about it, and someday it will.

As a side note (but of course, this is all side notes), the bamboo Kelsey gave me for my birthday is doing well. Each shoot has grown to nearly twice its original size. I haven't become wealthy yet, Kelsey, but I'll let you know.

Anyway, here's something I wanted to talk about. Music class.

Of course, there was that bit where Kelsey started the whole class discussing the "meaning of music." "Opened a kettle of worms," as Ms Purdy said. Nevertheless the best came (comme d'habitude) from Alec.

"Hang on, this could actually be a really good question. Go ahead?"
"Well, you know the upside-down square thingy...."
"The rest, Alec?"
"Yeah, you know, the rest thingy...."

Indescribable. Priceless.

And English of course was fun, seeing as we spent most of it trying to come up with a song that fit better than "Good Vibrations."

Anyway, I'll stop talking now. I feel this is going to be a really good summer.

A rainbow of emotion.
