I want to live like common people

Quote of the Day - "The boys all loved you but I was a mess, I had to watch them trying to get you undressed" - Pulp

I decided today that I really, really, really don't like my new chemistry teacher. The guy's a complete dick, he's convinced that boys basically can't do anything compared to girls (or, as he called us, 'males' and 'females'). When he was explaining this clearly genius theory to us he actually used members of the class as examples. He seemed to think that constantly putting down the 'males' and complimenting the 'females' would make the 'males' do better. Not that we fucking need to. I don't see how we are in any way worse. I mean, do I need to remind the fucker that I got straight As last year? What does it fucking take for teachers to be pleased (even just plain satisfied will do) about me around here?! There are other retarded things he does too. For example, when he was going through last lessons homework today (I hadn't done it, thank raptorjesus) he was basically just tossing all the guys' ones aside and just completely tearing them apart (not physically but verbally). He didn't actually use these words but what he said was along these lines:
"Oh look this one was done by a boy, it's shit"
"Oh look this one was done by a girl, it must be A grade work"
...and so on. He even went into detail on some of the more unfortunate people's work. I'm not saying that those people's work wasn't very good, I suspect it was largely pretty good. He just made it sound bad by pointing out EVERY tiny mistake. He thinks he's hilarious as well, making ridiculously awkward jokes every 5 minutes. He gets on my nerves so much, I have a feeling I won't be enjoying chemistry this year. Shame really, it was my favourite subject last year.

Debated with myself for a bit after college about what I should do with my afternoon. Homework, or play Halo? Halo won out in the end (obviously) but I got what was coming to me a while later when my computer overheated and died while I was playing. Luckily Halo autosaves, so all was not lost! Anyway I took this as a sign to do something more productive (I wouldn't have been able to play it for a while anyway what with dead computer) but I still managed to avoid homework by getting into more painting instead. I know it's really nerdy, but I'm seriously getting into it again. Painting my little skinks is so fun! Matt will be coming round on Friday so I can give him a crash course in Warhammer painting (he's never done it before) which I am very much looking forward to.

I discovered Pulp today. I finally put Different Class on the computer after meaning to for a few weeks (it's still playing now) and it's fucking brilliant. It's one of those albums that perfectly encapsulates the adolescent frame of mind, so ideal for me. I have come to the conclusion that Jarvis Cocker is a genius, albeit a damn dirty one. So many of the lyrics within Different Class are just downright dirty or have some kind of double meaning! Cocker you dirty bastard you. Had an interlude inbetween the much Pulp listening going on today for a jam on the guitar. I played through Uprising several times, I'm getting better at it (I think)! After that I had a play through several other Muse riffs before breaking into the main riff from the Radiohead song Bodysnatchers. I hadn't played it for ages, so it took a while for me to remember how to play it but once I did it was easy. It's so fun to play I played through it about a hundred times before stopping. I played it so much that I had actually started improvising riffs based on it towards the end. It didn't sound that impressive, but oh my was it FUN.

I did eventually get round to some homework, I did all of my chemistry (fuck you Gordon! That's my teacher's name) and a bit of maths. However it took me so fucking long to get around to it, I had so much time today after college and only got around to it late in the evening. To be fair, I think I put the pro in procrastination. I also spoke to thizzley for a good couple of hours, we had a nice deep chat about the way things are currently. They are currently very good indeed. I am so grateful for her, I can't quite believe how lucky I am. One last thing. Ffion (my epic Welsh friend) has come back into my life. WOOHOO!
