The Pandas

Okay, I'm following Guy's footsteps and I'm just going to talk about The Pandas, who are, if I haven't mentioned it, my group of friend. We're called The Pandas because we sit next to the bamboo at school.

Here we go!

Guy: He's one fabulous person. Guy's amazing, he's so fun but is also nice to have serious conversations with. I'm so proud of how he has dealt with all kinds of stuff that has happened, I know things have been hard. On a lighter note, Guy has a cute nose. I'd also like to note (because I know you're reading now), Guy, you've changed an enormous amount since I first met you last year. You've become so confident and so outgoing, it seems like you've really come out of your shell this last year! I'm so proud of you!

Jesse: Jesse's such a sweetie! She's like my sister and is so wonderful to talk to. <3 I connect so much with her, and she's my go to person for anything senpai related. She's motivated and inspired me to do so many things, she really is amazing. Again, because I know you're reading now, thank you so much. For everything.

Jamilla: Currently married to the embodiment of anime. Jamilla is such an amazingly opinionated person, and is wonderful to talk to about many things. She's helped me come out of my shell and be the crazy person that I am inside! I always look forward to talking to her, she's really witty and clever (I'm talking about the endless puns) but can be serious too.

Ruby: Ruby's like my little hippy friend. And she looks like a doll! But she's so smart and is wonderfully accepting of everyone, which is so nice. Ruby's really down to earth, and is so creative it's crazy! I'm really glad that I'm friends with her, because she's just so amazing. I've sort of known Ruby since I was little so we go wayyy back man.

Harriet: She's a very violent small person.  Harriet is so caring though, and is really motivated in school! She works so hard with everything she does. I really admire her for that. Also, she does so many things for other people. She's really giving, and is determined to make the world a better place. I love talking to her about various things, and she can get so passionate over something and will give me another look on what we are talking about.

Kai: Also another small person who likes to desert our group for his Magic the Gathering friends. Kai's so confident, which I really admire him for, and is so mature when talking about things that other people in his year would giggle at. He's so nice and is really intelligent! He's also a great performer and isn't afraid to get out on stage and do something that he loves.

Chanse: The person who can't stop laughing! Although Chanse has quite a few home issues, I really admire the way that she's dealt with everything. She's so fun, smart, and is wonderful to talk to!

Ellie: Ellie can seem quite cold at first, but once you get past that barrier she's a really warm and witty person. She has such a nice laugh too! Ellie's very clever, and can be quite cunning...

Zara: At first, Zara seems like the goody two shoes of the year with her perfect hair, perfect marks and perfect manners. But underneath all that there's a side to her that I'm glad I've seen; a side that's not afraid to start singing The Sound Of Music while spinning around and hugging trees. She's really great! 

Lucy: Lucy's a relatively new member of The Pandas, so I'm not very close to her. Apart from that, she's a really caring person and is lots of fun to hang with! I'd like to get to know her more, she seems like a wonderful person.

Athena: Previously known as Amy before she changed her name, Athena is amazing. And although she moved schools at the end of last year, I guess she's still a member of The Pandas. I love talking to her and going out to different places! Athena's been through a lot, and I really admire her for sticking with all this even though it's been hard. I really try to help her, and I hope I am having some sort of effect, because losing her would...  Be terrible. Absolutely terrible. But things seem to be improving for her and I'm really proud of her!

Saying that, losing anyone from The Pandas would be horrifying. I only said that specific to Athena's because of a discussion I had with her a few weeks ago. I know that other people are going through similar things, and I just want them to know that they should keep safe. And you talk to me, or anyone you feel comfortable with about anything.

So that was The Pandas! I'm so grateful for everyone, every single one of them is amazingly brilliant. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with such wonderful friends! I really look forward to all the fun times that we'll have in the future, and I hope that we never drift apart!

Ok, one more... But then YOU have to read to ME!" 

Random Senpai Update

Okay well hello again!
I know it's been AGES since I've posted, and I still haven't written about Bush School. But some small stuff happened today that Jesse told me to write about, so her wish is my command! B)

Actually something happened last week too, so I'll start with that. Basically it was Sacha's birthday last Monday, as I found out on Facebook, but he wasn't at school. So I was arguing with myself over whether I should say Happy Birthday to him. Eventually after some Jesse discussion we agreed that she would say Happy Birthday first, then I would after her. Jesse's amazing like that! So after she sent a message to him, I sent this very plain message:

"Happy Birthday! :)"

And I got this back:

"Thanks, I appreciate it. :)"

At first I was thinking, "Oh yeah, that's pretty cool." But then I told Jesse and she was really excited, and I couldn't understand why. She talked to me for a bit on Facebook, then I went and had a shower and did some stuff, then I came back thinking "OMG HE APPRECIATED ME.'' It takes a little while for these things to sink in.

Then after that happened, I decided that I would say hello to him sometime soon, just so this opportunity isn't wasted. It took a little while, because I swear he's away every second day and I don't have any classes with him. But this morning I thought I missed the bus, although I didn't because when I got the later bus (that cost me money jeez) I saw all the other people from my school still waiting for our normal bus. Anyway, I got to school a little bit later than the school bus (because the later one takes a lot longer) and as I was walking through the school I saw my friends Jamilla and Avery walking with Sacha. I thought "THIS IS MY CHANCE" so I ran up to them and scared Jamilla out of her mind by tapping her on the shoulder unexpectedly. That was quite the entrance, and I made him laugh so it was totally worth it. They were walking to this Asian grocery shop that's across the road, and I decided to go with them.

When we got there I realised I had no money since I spent it on bus tickets, but Avery was really nice and bought Jamilla and I a Calpis drink to share! We met up with Ben too (the one who did the card readings I might have mentioned in my last post)  and he had bought this cuttlefish flavoured chip packet. We brought it back to school later on, and it has this horrific aftertaste which I would never like to taste again. Anyway, in the meantime Sacha had bought these Lovely Puff things. He offered them to everyone, and offered me one last. I said no, because I didn't really feel like eating right then.

We got back to school and by that time the Lovely Puffs were almost gone. Eventually it came down to the last one, and Sacha turned to me and asked "Are you sure you don't want any?" I said okay, because I was surprised that he was offering me the last one and took it. As I pulled it out of the bag I said "Are you sure?" because if that was me I wouldn't be offering food to no one. :P

But anyway, he said yeah, so I ate it. At the time I was a little surprised and happy that I had just gotten through a social situation without doing anything stupid, and he had offered me the last one. Some other stuff happened after that, but it's not very important.

When I got to Science I was starting to think about it a little bit more, and Jesse and I, being the productive workers we are, wrote notes to eachother. When I told her what happened, I swear she actually flipped, her reaction was amazing! I asked her why she was so happy and she told me that her internet friend told her that guys do things in small gestures. She said that this was one of those special small gestures, and it shows that he cares enough to offer things to me. So I'm pretty happy about that!

Also, that afternoon when I got on the bus I had to stand up next to Jamilla and Kai, and Sacha sat down in front of us because his friend saved him a seat. He turned around and started talking to us about new movies like Cars 3 and The Incredibles 2, which I'm super excited for, and I might have told him that I spent two years of my childhood obsessed with The Incredibles... Ah well, it was really cool even if it was just a group conversation! My only regret is when he went to get off the bus and no one said goodbye to him, so I didn't either.

I guess that's my next mission!
