Yes, Today was the year 8 happening. Started off well, with casual day.. At 1:50 the whole school, some 7000 of us, created a giant circle on the field to honour the lives lost in the Asian Quake with a moment of silence. What was strange was when we faced inwards, the wind blew away from us, towards the centre of the circle, and when we faced outwards, the wind blew outwards. I can't describe it. Maybe its an omen of sorts, of good things to come, perhaps, after the toils. The wind changing. The year 8 happening plans have been going on for months. Basically, its a party for 8th Graders. I chose to be in the catering department. Our schedule was as such: 3:45 - Registration in the main hall. 4:00 - Collect Crisps and Drinks. Take them to the individual rooms. 5:40 - Pick Up Pizzas. We had 3 cheese, 3 pepperoni and 2 hawaiin pizzas for our class. 6:00 - Dinner for all the year 8's. Our class was naughty! They made a girl cry by taking her phone and saying she was ugly. Tsk. :roll: Kids these days.. 7:00 - Students retreat to individual workshops. Nicole and I were to clean up the classroom, but ours was clean anyway. 8:00 - The Disco! It was like the tide. Girls on one side, Guys on the other...right up until they got up on the tables and started to attempt their first social up-on-the-table-but-not-d runk dances. We had a couple of performances which were real sweet. The sister of a friend of mine won best dancing award, and Some other kid in a cruella De'ville (?) costume won the best costume award. 9:00 - End. Clean up, Go Home. I am exhausted. However there were some perks to the day, as well as pictures. Firstly, and perhaps I'm exaggerating but I honestly believe that I made the most effort when choosing and dressing up for this occasion. If there was an award for costumes by the organisers,, I think I might have won. *grin* I'm so presumptuous. Secondly, nobody recognised me. Especially my teachers. My English teacher who taught me for two years stopped and snapped 3 pictures, then looked at me and said..'Pooj? Thats you!?" I cracked up. "You look so different!" and the inevitable comment "Nice Wings!" *laugh* Trust me, that happened a lot more than once tonight. On the topic of wings...Ron, Karen, Don't knock Jen over in your Euphoria. I find wings make people really Ecstatic. Mine were the biggest at the event for some reason, and people kept wanting to try them on. As soon as Ron and Karen were running round laughing and enjoying the free-ness (!) of running flight, they crashed into poor Jen. Then doubled over in laughter. Well done. If only I had a camera...:P Wings make you feel special. Like you could conquer the world. It was a good evening. Now, after all that, bring on the pictures! (I Hate My Camera) Ooh, credit to Amber. Pictures don't do her work justice. She curled my hair really nicely during lunchtime, only its not obvious in the photos because, well, I hate this camera. Cheers. love ya!
Myself. Taken while trying on my costume the night before.

This would have been a gorgeous pic if I were not in it :P The lighting's doing something odd to my face. I look..yiee. LTR - Karen, Allie, Amber, Myself and Tez.
Myself and Shrek. a.k.a Jaime. :P I know you hate me calling you that, but stop using me as something to lean on!
Thats all folks. Time to take a hot shower, get rid of these curls and sleep like a baby. Cheers. Have a good night ya'll.

Great pics...you and Shrek make a lovely couple ;)
I knew you would make a great pixie! Maybe you should put the wings on at least once a day, just to remind yourself of the freedom!
