Headed to Kyoto this afternoon with my family. I’m fairly excited and a little nervous about making sure they all get there ok, plus its around 37 degrees in Kyoto and they think it’s hot here! My sister is trying to arrange to meet her friend, I do hope that happens, she has omiage and … Read More

Looks like people are blaming the downward spiral of pupil behaviour on the closing of Grammar Schools…doesn’t really work when you consider that places like Kent and Lincolnshire have never really stopped having them. I mean I took my eleven-plus as did my classmates who all considered it normal. (Quick explanation of Grammar Schools for … Read More

How odd that a group of people can make me so stressed out. This week is not going to be a huge amount of fun for me, as demonstrated earlier by the mere appearance of my parents causing me to act like an imbecile and lose everything I needed. I’m turning into a child as … Read More

Well I shall be moving servers by the end of the summer…you never know I might even update my pages somewhat! So much has happened, theres so much I want to write and so much I can’t. My parents arrive tomorrow I finished reading the latest Harry Potter… Too much to say and not enough … Read More

I lost my official trekkie licence when I forgot the fraction of a second that Data considered the Borg Queen’s offer for (there was an 8 in there somewhere). I can no longer tell you all of the Captains of the various incarnations of the Enterprise (Christopher Pike, James T Kirk,um… Rachel Garrett, um….. Jean-Luc … Read More

This weekend has been a good one on the whole. At first I was dissapointed because no Fuji climb, however we all (Skimble, American Falcon, Nesuphyn, Vet-in-progress and I) went karaokeing until some ridiculous hour, we were joined on Saturday by one of Nesuphyn’s friends and went shopping for much manga. This is because American … Read More

So all my careful planning was for nought. Its not good weather up Fuji this weekend so the next time I go will be in August with my parents. But I am definately climbing the whole thing this year. Definately.

I made myself very unpopular today. See the teacher thumping the kid yesterday, I couldn’t leave it at that. I think partly it’s because it’s plain wrong for someone to let a kid get them angry when they’re in a position of responsibility and actually acting on that anger. But at least partly it’s because … Read More

I would have just been witness to a sackable offence. My stalker from the third year is not a very nice boy. He was getting a thorough telling off in the staffroom by the art teacher, she was really shouting at him. I was doing paperwork when I heard the boy say something back and … Read More

So, I promised myself I wouldn’t climb Fuji like that again…well so much for Skimble’s protestations that she didn’t want to climb at night, she’s decided to climb on the Saturday night (can’t you just tell it will be packed!) and thus put paid somewhat to my desires to climb the whole mountain…or has she. … Read More
