Murder Mystery
Well, Jonny's party was great fun. Everyone's costumes were really cool. The Indians (I should probably say Native Americans but hey) all had feathers and stitched waistcoats and stuff, the cowboys all had boots, checkered shirts and hats, and the businesspeople were all smart and suit-ish. I was very pleased with myself because I completed all the aims in my envelope, and I must at least have done the 'make sure everyone knows Clem (the sales rep from my rival company) for the low-down, dirty double crosser he is' one right, because in the last half hour when people could die, he had about 10 people lining up to kill him!! It was very amusing actually, and you killed people by playing rock-paper-scissors. I also managed to get the land for South West Rail, as well as make an ethically sound deal (my character was very ethical!) that everyone was pleased with. I also managed to find out who'd murdered (or at least beaten up until he had a heart attack) the ranch owner, which I was pleased about as last time I did one of these none of us had a clue! You also had these 'ability cards' which meant that after you'd talked to someone for, say, 5 minutes they'd have to show you a secret or something. Only the boys (OK, some of the boys) always claimed you hadn't been talking for 5 minutes yet and would try and escape so I'd be trying to run round the small gap behind the tent whilst attempting not to fall into the holes or onto the roots in my high heels. Which was fun.
And Jonny seemed to really like his Barbie present!! Well, OK, he found it amusing anyway.
One of the most fun things was double-dealing and blackmailing people (I think I should become a professional blackmailer!!) and trying to work out who was lying to you. I have no idea what D (as Judge Paulson) was doing but he was making deals with everyone then the next minute he wouldn't even know you! Irritating, yet funny.
It was a good job Saturday was interesting because nothing much happened on either Sunday or Monday. I had an opticians appointment yesterday, and he did the usual put orange dye in my eye then turn my eyelids inside out, which is horrid but I'm becoming more used to. And we've been given 3 weeks to do our maths coursework so everyone is frantically thinking up questionnaires.
Not much else going on here, I'm still obsessing over Wimbledon though. Sprem went out today! I don't believe it! She's like the coolest player ever and her match with Venus rocked. Plus she makes me laugh. I spent all yesterday evening watching Tim's match I couldn't tear myself away. And he kept on losing all these easy points where he could have won the whole match so simply, and then with the tie break -
I was finding it hard not to grab a cushion. That is really sad.
But yeah, to summarise the last few days: Murder Mysteries rock, so does Wimbledon, Coursework doesn't.
