Poker Fish

Friday, October 26th 2007, Wake up time: 6:50am


My first lesson of the day was maths, where we did more graph work! For my drama lesson we practised other scenes for the freshmen assembly. We had a substitute for American literature, so we headed to the Old Hall for our lesson...it was pretty fun as we hung out with Mr. Kim! I have to tell you about Mr. Kim. He was a very odd teacher, who always took photos for the year book. He pretty much let you do whatever you want, as long as it wasn't too extreme. He made us laugh a lot but only because he said so many weird things! He was a friendly man though and pleasant enough. 


For our psychology lessons, we read about boy's emotional development before lunchtime. Lunchtime was more pizza! I love it though and would never get tired of it. I washed it down with some more delicious milk. I then headed over to film where we talked and watched more of the documentary about Screwball Comedies...a fine era of film, that I can guarantee. (Apart from my favourite film genre, film noir.) I had directed study last so I went with Tiago and Tyler to the 'sketchy bench'. I don't like the term sketchy, it means the same as dodgy...i.e. something that you might want to avoid! (Or dodge!) It's just a place people hang out to do weed...don't worry, I didn't touch the stuff! 


I went back to school, to see some people before the end of the day. I hung out briefly with the usual gang at Sweet Sues before coming home. I called Hannie, but he was out! :( I cleaned kitchen the floor for my regular weekly allowance. We were going out to get Chinese for dinner. I had a delicious meal of duck, beef, chicken and rice. It was lovely, though Chinese food isn't my favourite. I called Hannie again and we arranged to go out. I got $20 allowance and then Hannie picked me up.


He drove me to his house, stopping off for petrol on the way. I arrived at his, a small but cosy home. We spent some time playing on his Wii... I was pretty good, and beat him at a couple of games ;) He didn't like that! Hannie got me a glass of coke as I was quite thirsty! He then introduced me to his brother who was playing some Poker online. It may sound like this is a bad thing, but he was so good. You wouldn't believe it! He once went to Vegas and entered a poker tournament...no word of a lie, won $50,000. It's not the most admirable of careers but I suppose if you're that good, why do anything else? He was pleasant enough and made me laugh as he called stupid players 'fish'. These were players who fell for his bluff, if he made one, and then he won their money! 


Hannie and I spent the evening chilling and making some mix CDs of different music, before I had to get home as I was going to Connecticut tomorrow to see Lyle's grandma and I still hadn't packed! On arriving home, me and Hannie had a long talk about women (particularly Gracie), life and other things! We even briefly talked about me moving into his after the time at the Cadorette's ended...I still wish this could have happened sometimes. :/ I bade goodnight and headed inside. I packed up my stuff for the trip to Connecticut and crashed down on my bed!


Thanks for listening.
