Assembly - 9:23 pm - 12-01-2006
Today we had an assembly with Mr Whiteley. I wouldn’t say that it was any worse than usual but I’ve decided to blog it anyway. (So Pete can fuck off with his dying-blogring paranoia. Haha.)
Firstly he showed us some “clips from a TV show you will probably know quite well”. This turned out to be an advert for Friends Season 3 box set. I watched as the six useless American idiots made predictable jokes and danced around generally looking ridiculous. My teeth began to grind but the video finished before I got my knife out.
He then moved on to telling us that friends are important in life. He said that some friends don’t last as long as others (really?) and that we should try to stay friends with people as long as possible after school (good idea!). He even gave us some tips:
“Don’t be mean.”
“Say sorry.”
“Forgive your mates.”
Thanks to Mr Whiteley I will never lose a friend again!
This entry took a tad too long because I was sidetracked my a copy of ElleGirl. I spent the best part of five minutes looking for the problem pages but they were all boring. The cheek!
EDIT: Sorry, I forgot… he also reminded us that uniform is more important than education, not like we haven’t been told that recently.
I have just returned from a trip to my grandmother’s house. I enjoy trips to my grandmother’s and the food is always brilliant. The only thing I dislike is the way that my vegetarianism is treated as some kind of disease that I need to overcome mentally. At one point I was told:
“If you don’t start eating meat soon you’ll lose your male characteristics”
“Yes, after four months they’ll drop off.”
Lovely.
This type of thing continued throughout the whole evening. I was told that I would get increasingly hungry until I decide to make a huge fry-up.
I’m not hungry yet.
And I’ve done just under four months.
Yep, still there.
Douglas Adams (author of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) was born on the 11th of March and died on the 11 of May.
Anyone who has read the book (or seen the film) will know that the number 42 was very significant.
The 42nd Day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (that’s the standard one that most of the world uses) is the 11th of February.
Hitchhiker has 11 letters.
There’s proof of how easy it is to come up with this shit.
Mr Rahman insisted that I removed my beret today. I have no idea why he insisted upon this. My beret is not dangerous. I have never known it to attack someone. It doesn’t have a logo on which could advertise a company or product (we’re allowed to advertise Sony though). It doesn’t have the words “I’m a Nazi” written on it anywhere (I was careful to check before buying it). It doesn’t go against any of the school rules. It isn’t a baseball cap. It isn’t affiliated with yobbish behavior.
In fact, all it does it keep my head warm.
And make me look amazingly cool.
So why stop me wearing it?
There isn’t a reason. They are just taking more individuality away from me.
Toot Hill School. I am a good pupil. I get good grades. I get you good press. I am polite to your staff. I keep an eye on the little kids. I contribute to extracurricular activities.
So leave me alone!
John linked me to a bulletin on MySpace. It said this:
This can all be a big coincidence…what do u think?
1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin
Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1 = 11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 + 4
= 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:
“For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace.”
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
What do you think now?!!
REPOST THIS OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO U IN 11 MINUTES!!!
How ridiculous. Without any knowledge of anything you can see that this is phony: it starts by saying the plane’s flight number is 11 and then says it is Q33 NY.
Just so you don’t have to do it yourself I have put the image up here:
Isn’t that scary. A skull next to a six point star.
A six point star that is a symbol of Judaism not Islam.
But apart from that it seems quite valid. I think it’s very likely that early Islamic writers were able to predict the format of Wingdings.
And terrorism is probably all caused by the number 11.
Numbers can hijack planes you know,.
It doesn’t seem to make sense. The Brigades of Swords of Right are an Islamic Iraqi terror group who are against the war in Iraq. They have kidnapped a group of peace activists including a 74 year old man called Norman Kember.
So a group of anti-war activists have kidnapped another group of anti-war activists…
Abu Qatada, a terror suspect who has been held in prison since 2002, is among the many people who have appealed for the release of Kembers and his friends. He pleads that they release them “in line with the principle of mercy of our religion”.
Why kidnap someone who agrees with you politically for political reasons?
I watched a video today about religion and science. The video said that because of Darwin’s theory of evolution and the problem of suffering, many people are now saying that God is not omnipotent (all powerful) or omniscient (all knowing) but remains an all loving God. This explains why there is suffering: God does not have the power to stop it.
But wait a minute…
If God isn’t all powerful or all knowing, what really is he? He isn’t much of a God. Any idiot can walk around saying that they’re all loving and not do a thing about it. Maybe He’s an all loving, crippled God.
If you want to believe in a god, fine. But if you’re going to believe in a god, at least believe in one that can do stuff.
Like this guy.
I wore a beret to school today. The first person I came into contact with asked me if I was going continental.
Five people requested to try it on.
One girl who I did not know looked as if I had shot her.
Another girl I did not know saw me on the way home and randomly told me that she liked it. She was a nice girl.
Best of all was tutor set:
Dan Cosgrave: Oh my God. What is that on your head?
McAsh: My Beret.
Dan Cosgrave: Oh my God. Are you French?
McAsh: No.
Dan: You must be. You’re wearing a French hat!
Mr Stevens: My shoes are Italian. That doesn’t make me Italian.
Dan: He’s not allowed a hat in school!
Mr Stevens: Yes he is.
Dan: Look in the planner. “Baseball caps are not permitted in or journeying to and from school.”
McAsh: It’s not a baseball cap though is it?

I hate fucking leet and chat speak. I try to ignore people who use it but too many people do. Thank You, my socks are rocked! (sarcastic)
I’m most pissed off because I’ve been doing this stuff for years and I’m better than most of you so you’d be clueless. Just don’t fucking go there.
*middle finger* for lack of a better term.
I got sent this piece of chain mail…
Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, “…that’s her.”
Is that the kind of guy you want? Someone who truly cares about you and doesn’t just want you for sex. Well good idea, send a chain mail that will tell all the guys how to fake it. Idiots…
And by the way:
