From the twenty-first of January to the fifth of April, blah blah, nostalgia, here's a quick recap, mostly for my benefit if I want to remember what I did in this time period at some point in the future. I'm just glad I keep a miniature diary with these events in them. Now, enjoy such events!
January 22
Saw the movie Role Models. It was retarded, but Elizabeth Banks is the greatest person alive.
January 25
As is one of Casey's annoying quirks, she invites herself to my house, even after I told her not to. What. A. Bitch. In the usual fashion of after-church dinnering, we decided to have BRINNER instead, an awesome idea of breakfast for dinner that we got off Scrubs.
January 26
Australia Day. After work, I rushed down to Mornington as quick as I could to see Liston. She neglected to realize that due to the parade down main street, the bus took an alternative route, and her directions to where to get off were pointless. At night I went bowling with Guida and Sarah. Hot damn.
January 27
Oh this was a fun day.

January 27
A 6:30am pick-up from Scott and we're off to Melbourne. Taking photos where we shouldn't, time lapses, what have you. Nicole joined us later. Twas rockin'. You can watch the time lapse video here on youtube.
January 28
First day of year 11. VCE welcomes me. I have about 6000 free periods a week. Went to Frankston with Kirk, Wes and Katherine afterwards.
February 1
After church, we went to Seaford beach and went "hammocking" as well with Alex, Evan and Miss Lay.
February 2-3
VCE study/intro camp at some place in Flinders. The woman who owns the place had the personality of a dialtone and had ridiculous hair. Bradley says she reminded him of a prison warden.
February 4
Since I finish school at 12:15 on Wednesdays, I have since gone to work at 2. But this day, I started at 2:30. I guess this 2 o'clock thing hasn't sunk in yet. Of course, drama began again at 7pm that night. I ahve no break on Wednesdays.
February 5
Quite possibly the best day of the year so far. The Kate Miller-Heidke concert had finally dawned. With me were Zac and Special K (Kate and Kirk). I bought an over-priced poster that has since refused to stick to my wall, and she signed it for me. Her songs were so different than what we were expecting them to be live. There's photos on my Facebook, and videos (which I took like 45 minutes of and cut it down to two 6-minute youtube clips) here and February 6
Youth group started back for the term. Aussie Night kicked off the long list of nationality-related themed nights. Alicia did us the courtesy of hosting.
February 8
After I did not want to go to church that night, Katherine, Erin and Miss Lay swung by my house anyway with, "John, get changed, get outside, Sarah Lay's waiting in the car." Ballam Park ahoy.
February 9
This marks the first day we had Vetamorphus peer group after school. Tis myself, Clare, Jake and Steph, led by Smackholer. Quite fun, and has occured every Monday since.
February 13
We had a Media excursion to ACMI. It was interesting, but also sorta boring. Italino Night at youth, hosted by Evan.
February 19
Yes, this week did involve work and VETA and drama and such, but meh. After school I bussed to Frankston with Liston and Zach, as we do often.
February 20
Mexican Night: Katie Hamiltone.
February 21
Marks the first time I worked the whole day shift at work. 8:30-5:30.
February 22
Sang at church that night.
February 23
School photo day! Was it seriously only in February? Oh well. The people who did it this year, were AWESOME. But in getting the pics back about a week ago, it's obvious the formation of people that they put us in was awful-lookin'.
February 25
Score! Finally get a close shift! Working 2-6 as of this Wednesday!
February 26
Again, Frankston with Liston and Zach.
February 27-March 1
VETA retreat weekend in Anglesea. Was a good weekend away, it was. Learned a lot about God and history of the Bible, and met so many new people. There's photos on my Facebook.
Oh, and I did communion at church Sunday night.
March 3
Ah, due to the text-messages about the fires that the coppers sent off the day before, we had today off school. Gnarly.
March 5
We sent Zach to go off to Frankston, and I instead kidnapped Liston (with Megan) this time, and brought them back to my place. Liston got addicted to playing Worms, it was awesome.
March 6-8
Insano Cafonkey Amazing Race Camp! AAAAH! The weekend with the youth down in Philip Island at the Jolly's ranch thing. It was so awesome. We had scavenger hunts and stuff to do around the Island, which were weird and fun, as is everything youth group. There's photos on my, you guessed it, Facebook. We went to Sarah Lay's/Mez Bickford's/Clare deGroot's place(s) after church for some chillaxin'.
March 9
Labour Day, which means no school and no VETA peer group this week. And, the band I was wearing around my wrist from the Kate MH show, which I had been wearing since and couldn't take off, even wearing it at work, broke and came off. I was so shattered. BUT, I beat Special K and Zac! :D
March 12
School swimming day, which I wanted to go on sorta, but then I didn't. Haw.
March 13
Instead of it being at the church, youth was at the Davey's, for New Zealand night.
March 14
After work (the first Saturday shift I was supposed to work since Feb 21, thankyou two camps in a row) I went to Bianca's house, which was a foolish mistake, cos I was ever so tired. We continued our lost marathon (from December...) and watched another 4 episodes. Success, we're 16 episodes in!
March 15
Did welcoming at church.
March 19
Went home from school at about 1ish, and being that it was a Thursday, I basically came for English, then four frees, then went home. I was so sick with an intense cold.
March 20
Had the day off school.
March 21
Had the day off work.
March 22
I actually went to the morning service at church. Cos we had a Kids Connection meeting afterwards, which means in term 2, I'm gonna have to be there doing kids ministry, IN THE MORNING, almost every Sunday. So not looking forward to it.
I sang at the night service, then we all went to Stacks Pancakes afterwards. Siq.
Between the morning and night service, I went to Frankston with Katherine and Mollie, which was essentially a bad idea as I was recovering from being sick and didn't go home from about 9am-10pm.
March 24
Being that I was behind in school work, and H block is easy to study in if there's no one in it, myself and Bianca stayed until about 4:30 doing work. Sweeeet.
March 26
As part of VETA, I have to get a "mentor" to meet with a couple times during the year. I chose Alex-o. We went and sat in McDonald's for like two hours before moving to a graveyard. Hmm.
March 27
I was sick and missed Tom's Scottish Night the week before, so this week at youth was Pirates vs. Ninjas, hosted by Smack and Zoe. It was so much fun actually. Was originally meant to be India, but nooo, Alex has a joooob.
March 28
Actually went to work that day. Amazing. That's 3/6 Saturday shifts I was meant to be working.
April 2
Ah, Thursdays. After English first-up, the next class I have is at 2:30, and the Easter service was on then. After staying to do some work that needed to be done at school, I went home. Kirk was smart and went home before 10. Haha.
April 3
LAST DAY OF TERM! Oh happy day, the tyranny of too much work and no more time is gone! For almost three weeks! And youth that night was the all-powerful Eurovision Song Contest, hosted by Alicia.
April 4
Yesterday. Now it's 4/7 Saturday shifts.
If you actually took the time to read my on-going saga of narcissism, I applaud thee. Now go outside.
