After much persuasion from Melissa [and some coercion from John], reluctantly agreed to follow them to the Creative Writing Club's meeting after school on the condition that I would be allowed to play with John's stuffed turtle during the meeting. We were joined later by Paul and Sherman, following which the 5 of us promptly monopolized the backrow. Proclaimed ourselves to be mere "spectators" after Paul shot me a horrified look when one of the CWC seniors asked whether we were interested in signing up for CWC for good.

CWC is so slack! They gave us a full hour to write a piece [poetry or prose] based on any one of the following words: "annihilation" "cow, moon" and "James Dean". So we spent about a total of 10 minutes writing some really crappy essay about a cow who danced in a pasture and fell in love with James Dean, taking turns to contribute 4 words each. Spent the rest of the time just gossiping and making John's turtle vibrate across the table.

We tried to salvage our work beforehand by attempting to write a haiku (3 lines only!) but couldn't get the right number of syllables. So in the end got forced to read out our cow prose to the entire club which, needless to say, was totally embarassing.

Sherman: *at the end of the reading* At least it was different! ....and it goes to show that AH people aren't square!

Am undecided at the end of the day whether or not to join CWC. It depends how far I'd go to slack.

Still sore over yesterday's Drama's meeting...they extorted 30 dollars from me; I didn't even want that extra T-shirt! *grumbles* Ah and all J1s in drama have to buy tickets for Rashomon which is some production the seniors are putting up on the 30th of Jan at Barker. Tickets are priced only at 10 dollars! I'll be in charge of ticket sales on the 27th so come buy! :D

Tomorrow's CNY eve. Half the class wants to pon. Dilemma dilemma....*hm*
