Someone's out to get me (Zoë)
Today there was a death threat on my answering machine. Honestly. Somone is “watching my every move”, and I’m going to be killed very soon.
Hold the 000 call, folks. It’s all part of a game we’re playing at college called Assassins. Basically, everyone has a target who they have to “kill” (no actual violence involved), and when you kill someone, you get their target. The game keeps going until no one is left. There’s a bunch of rules about when you can and can’t kill someone (they can’t be in their bedrooms, at work or in a tute or lecture, other Ormondians can’t be around, and etc), and that’s basically the game. It’s very amusing watching the paranoia levels rising steadily in the college – people literally can’t walk anywhere by themselves for fear of getting killed. I haven’t killed my target yet, but I’m still alive. The game’s been fun. In fact, at the moment I’m enjoying college more – it’s feeling a lot more like home. Typical that I start to settle in nicely right before the Easter break. 🙂
Today I went to the library and braved the horrors of photocopying and actually borrowing books. I felt pretty pleased with myself afterwards, although I did have to ask my sister to come with me. I don’t know whether I thought there was actually a Hellmouth under the Baillieu or what, but I was seriously intimidated. Of course, it ended up being easier than I thought, and actually kind of fun wandering through the bookshelves. I was researching for my Cinema Studies report, and the journals were really interesting, and I found myself thinking I should photocopy some articles purely for recreational purposes. Sad and pathetic, I know.
I missed the JWAS screening on Monday because I went to a library class for Cinema Studies. But there’s a second screening tomorrow from 1 to 2, which I’ll definitely be at, particularly because I’m getting my own copy of the season 8 comic – woo hoo! Trivia last Thursday was awesome, not least of all because my team actually won! I was pretty stoked, because I wasn’t expecting to win.
Tomorrow’s a busy day – three hour Chem prac, JWAS at lunch, then three hours of lectures in the afternoon. Should be fun.
:O Why doesn’t my college do stuff like that?
Yay, Baillieu photocopiers! One of my best friends works at Unicard, it’s kind of freaky actually.
How do you `kill’ someone? It sounds like a lot of fun.
Ah the Library whos dynasty’s namesake will hopefully stop our state going brackwards. Two pieces or random advice for the Baillieu
(1) Don’t disturb the passive agressive kids who are often found sleeping in their natural habitat in the basement – stunned animals can sometimes bite when provoked. On that matter, don’t feed them either.
(2) Take the time to absorb the cubicle graffiti in the building’s water closets, it is right up there in terms of being some of the most amusing and imaginative to be found on campus. E.g: “Q1. WRITE AN ESSAY ON WILD BRUMBIES. don’t use too much paper (write on both sides) to save mony (sic).” You simply can’t beat that stuff.
