You walk in fire (stand back- banging head against the wall now set to commence)

Geoff to me about a week ago: "Minega, I'm going to put you on my list of friends to keep an eye on!"
Watching Cameron vs Davis last night. They were so unfailingly polite to each other that like me, the audience was beginning to get restless. I was thinking 'lightsabres!' 'A fight to the death in a steel cage!' 'staring contest with Jeremy Paxman' but unfortunately politics has become a lot more civilized down the years. David Cameron looks like he would be asked for ID before entering a club. Is he going to be able to run the country if he doesn't look old enough to wear a tie? I don't know, but I like him though.

Trying to be cheeky, I drew another Ninja and began to make a story on the spot but in the end I had to move the whole thing to a blank paper and draw more and more ninjas as the story developed while Aaron listened. I don't remember what the story was about or why I brought it up just now or how exactly I managed to make it run for at least thirty minutes or where the teacher was during all this, but I'm dealing with a million things in my life at the moment and this isn't one of them. Well it is now that I've brought it up, but...
