By knives I mean penises

I'm feeling in a very writey mood. Not in a coursework finishing kinda way. No, definitely not. More of a sociable, chit chat kinda way. So I am here, bloggies, to chit and chat.

Today was the start of Sixth Form Charity Week. This is something that I've watched take place for the past 6 years of my relatively dull school life. Basically, all of the sixth formers (I say all, but some people don't have the effort or motivation to bother) dress up in accordance with themes set for us by the head boy and girl throughout the week. Then we go around classrooms during our free periods and parade our potentially embarrassing attire in front of children, in the hope that they surrender their lunch money. Often they don't.

Despite this obvious drawback, Charity Week is something that most lower/upper school kids always look forward to taking part in. I myself used to wander around the corridors, trying to understand what on earth the guy in yellow tights was thinking when he slipped in to that banana suit in the morning, and mentally planning my own fancy dress costume for when I'd be in sixth form... in 4 years time. It was all very exciting.

Fast forward a couple of years and I can proudly say that we are no longer Charity Week virgins. Today's theme was "Fantasy and Fiction". It should've been easy to think of a character. I mean, we could've dressed up as just about anything and pretended it was from a book. In fact quite a few people did this. After switching between numerous ideas, I ended up donning an irritating red cloak thing (irritating because the hood kept slipping) and dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood. Then at lunch me, Tom/Lud and Harriet went to watch the teacher's X Factor in the hall. I hate to be cliché, but the less said about that the better. Let's just say there were numerous wigs and some fairly violent foot stamping.

Tomorrow is famous groups and duos day. Despite having the ready made group that is our "friendship group" (as Amy so brilliantly called it), none of us could think of a decent idea to incorporate all of us. Me and Vicky couldn't even think of a good duo. I know, SHOCKHORROR. Ancient history on Wednesday though, and I expect a flood of togas at school, poorly crafted from white sheets. I add my own to that list. Then "Things beginning with B" on Thursday. Me and Vicky are being a pair of butchers. IT'S FOR THE IRONY. We have fake blood. And foot long knives. Everyone will be jealous of our knives.

Then on Friday it's a Teacher Training Day and me and Vicky are going on our long awaited trip to London! But I shall discuss that closer to the date. Might even get Vicky to post.

You remember Vicky, right?
