I keep trying to talk to my sister Kate on msn but for some reason she's not answering...maybe she forgot to log off. *Poke poke* Nope, still nothing.
Anyway, this is a momentous occasion, for you see all my journal entries before this one were posted by a 14 year old, at least I think they were, maybe some were posted by a 13 year old...I'll go back and check...nope, they were all posted by a 14 year old. Anyway, in that respect this one is different, for you see; this one is posted by a 15 year-and-2 day old. An impostor you say? NO! It is I! For you see Monday was my birthday!
My parents gave me a wall clock and my sister Sally sent me a Triple J pencil case and school diary, so now I have to start listening to Triple J, she said that I'd look like a try-hard otherwise o.O? (She also sent me a Little Britain fridge magnet hehe ^_^) I think I used up the rest of my birthday favours on that concert I went to with Paige, the trip to Adventure World and on all those Discworld books I bought in Bunbury to keep myself sane (or something like it). Shadi also made me a pendant in Jewellery Class which I wore to school yesterday, and Mum got me a cake with a singing candle that stopped singing as soon as we lit it and wouldn't shut up as soon as I blew it out. Plus I got to walk around with balloons tied to my bag all day on my birthday (as is school tradition) I should try it more often, you get so much attention.
Because Lani's birthday is so close to mine we celebrated together at Adventure World. I went on the Fear Factor 5 and the only part that scared me was when Shadi said he was about to throw up on the Rampage, then I REALLY wanted to get off! I think the reason I wasn't scared was because I dedicated too much attention to remaining calm and didn't notice that I was actually on a ride and mistook it for a rocking chair, I surprisingly easy mistake to make when your eyes are squeezed shut. I also went on the rollercoaster and got winded when the ride ended and I got rammed into the safety bar. I think the best ride was the Tunnel of Terror waterslide because when you sing the Time Warp chorus on the way down you finish the ride and the song at the same time.
Well besides from being able to watch MA movies without an excuse the other thing of note was the fact that I dissected a rat today, a rather smelly business. They look rather funny when they come out the freezer because they've become squashed and look a lot like chew toys. You start by tying the rat down so that in the event of Jeffery Combs making an appearance you'll be prepared for reanimated rat's claws, and then you start to skin it. Susan tied the rat down but refused to be involved in the process any further as she'd had a rather unpleasant dream involving rats recently, so the skinning was left up to me. It was remarkable how easily the skin came off, and underneath the rat looked like a strangely discoloured sausage. Then Darcie, Angela and I all pitched into cutting off the layer of flesh around the organs and then it began to smell suspiciously like rotten chips. I cut out the heart and helped Angela unravel the intestines, remaining careful not to open the stomach so not to release the stink, and then we all got our pictures taken with our disembowelled rat and bloody instruments. I didn't feel nauseous at all until Mum gave me chicken for dinner and I realised what it looked like before it was cooked... |

Aw... we only ever got to disect a sheep's heart. :(
We dissected a sheep's heart a few days ago, but it was just the type you get from Woolies, it smelt like dog food.
Meh. I can't remember what ours smelt like. It was ages ago, and I didn't actually try and smell it. :P
Apparently one class got to disect toads, except even thought they were frozen, they were apparently still alive, and started waking up when they were being disected... I don't know if that's actually true though...
I like to sniff things o_O
Zombie frogs???? O_O
o_O is right. :P
Apparently. They are actually pretty hard to kill. :S
I thought that was cockroaches...which doesn't make much sense considering the amount of times I've seen Dad smash their brains out with a thong. Maybe they lived afterwards...o_O;;;
Triple J! *is recent convert* It rules!
Need any more rats? The dogs are always catching them. :P

Just make sure they don't rip open the stomach, apparently the smell is horrendous.
Whoops, that was me -_-;;;
It is when they decay, too. :P
Yay, happy belated birthday, Eclair dear. :)
Dissection is fun.
Thankyou!
Dissection is indeed fun, if a bit smelly. And it does put you off flesh for a few days when you realise what we all look like when we're taken apart, but after that it just makes you appreciate skin a while lot more.
P.S. Am currently working on your fic...it's mutating o.O | |
