OK, I’m back, campers. It was a blast, and I will tell you all about it, but in small increments cause there is a lot to get through. First off I will give you the schoolies bible. Then expect photos and a summary of events. It will all come soon enough. Here is the first part, the bible.
The following is a page-by-page account of what was scrawled within the schoolies bible that resided on our kitchen table. I assure you that any jokes made were made in jest and if anyone finds anything herein offensive, contact me, and it will be removed. Page numbers will be noted in brackets in the left margin and the person who said or did or wrote the comment will be noted at the end (there is a very real chance that I will misquote, please correct via the tag board). If points need clarification, I will clarify in brackets.

Today I get up late to find a note on the kitchen counter. It's written in red connector pen and my mother's trademark giant easy to read perfect print. It says...
NJ, (Which is what my parents call me 99% of the time)
-Hang out bath towels
-Put on your washing
-Clean bathrooms and showers
-Vacuum
-Mop floors
(If you want something to do)
Thanks,
Mum
Now, my mother has a fantastic knack for writing things in code, and in this case it means...
NJ.
Please complete the following tasks...
Or I will be pissed at you the entire time you are away at schoolies, and probably for a week or two when you get back.
Its lucky I can decode these things.

Great galloping crapsticks Batman! Almost a week without an update.
I wouldn't leave you guys hanging like that.
This week has been pretty goddamn jam packed what with having to orgainse suits for grad, stuff for schoolies etc. (Note: I won't be updating between the 22nd and the 28th due to schoolies, but expect big stories when I get back).
We did a majority of the shopping today (We got funny looks, 5 guys pushing two trolleys around Woolworths and filling up with crap.)
I am using lots of brackets today, but that is because I am very very tired, I went to bed at 4am due to an orgy at Daw's house (an orgy which involved Mykiela, Libbi, Daw, Dutchy and myself, and an "Evil Dead" video). Also, yesterday involved a game of golf (my short game still needs lots of work), in which I scored an impressive 34 over par for the course, and the beach, at which we almost died due to an increasingly painful-sounding thunderstorm. Pizza was then had at Cafe B's and ice cream at Cold Rock. Very sensual. We visited cousin Tim at Video Ezy and got some meatball horror movies and then watched them at Daw's. Twas most fun for all. Except for me who was relegated to the ground like a dog. Oh well.
Grad. Ball is tomorrow, Expect pictures at some point. Other than that, I will try to squeeze in another post or two before I dash off to schoolies.
For now, a helpful Portugeuse phrase for all (although Hannah is the most likely to use it)
"Consigo Cheirar-te a cona!"
(Its from a very famous movie featuring a Cannibal and his semen-throwing cellmate)
*cough* Don't use it unless you want to be hit, especially on Portuguese women.*cough*

I think at this stage of my life, I am thinking (Forrest Gump style I might add) that...
Life is like the Sunday Afternoon Disney movie,
No matter how fucked up it all gets in the middle, you know by the end, everything will turn out alright.

Well, thats it. They are over. And we are free. Most of us anyway. There are still a few stragglers who have a couple of exams left, but they will be over soon enough.
The celebrations yesterday began with a trip to the movies to see the much awaited Matrix Revolutions, which, released in the middle of the exam period had been thus far, unviewable by the studious ones among us. Can't give anything away, but as per usual, will do a full write up later on once a couple more people have seen it. It was a good movie, but I thought the ending was a bit flat. My opinion. Agent Smith still rocks my world.
The rest of the evening was kicked off with wine and food at ye olde Daw residence. Followed by more wine and food, then some more wine, Jack Daniels, and a few refreshing ales as well as conversation and laughs aplenty. Included as the night wore on was, the Batchelorette and some very cheap and very bad pr0n which was enjoyed by none. In the wee hours of the morning, many a delightful prank call was made to many people who were sleeping only to be rudely awakened by...
1) People asking for them several times in funny accents.
2) People ringing up claiming to be on the "Queer eye for the straight guy" production team, asking about product research and suggestions of how to improve the show.
3) Farmers complaining about the illness of their cows, and requesting that the sleepy person on the other end of the line heal it by "fisting it up the ass".
4) Drunk clingy and horny French people ringing because they want their baby back, and miss them so much and are very very horny.
5) Random bastards asking about sex toy collections.
6) Drunken guys singing "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred down the phone line at the top of their lungs
7) Even more drunken guys claiming that "They found this phone" and rang because they are very loney and found your name oh so sexy.
Once we had demonstrated our maturity thusly, we went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and played some hardcore Halo. Then came slobbing, more slobbing and a little more slobbing before lunch and then heading beachwards. Unfortunately Libbi's car broke down en route and caused us to have to push it off the road in peak hour traffic with assholes who weren't making our job any easier. Anyway, eventually it was all fixed and we made our way to the beach. The water was cool, the air was sweet, but the freedom was sweeter. Its all wrapped up for now.
Now, we play the waiting game.

4) Drunk clingy and horny French people ringing because they want their baby back, and miss them so much and are very very horny.
5) Random bastards asking about sex toy collections.
6) Drunken guys singing "I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred down the phone line at the top of their lungs
7) Even more drunken guys claiming that "They found this phone" and rang because they are very loney and found your name oh so sexy.
Once we had demonstrated our maturity thusly, we went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and played some hardcore Halo. Then came slobbing, more slobbing and a little more slobbing before lunch and then heading beachwards. Unfortunately Libbi's car broke down en route and caused us to have to push it off the road in peak hour traffic with assholes who weren't making our job any easier. Anyway, eventually it was all fixed and we made our way to the beach. The water was cool, the air was sweet, but the freedom was sweeter. Its all wrapped up for now.
Now, we play the waiting game.

Happy Birthday to Don't Eat the Yellow Snow!
Well kids. Thats 5.5 down, 0.5 to go. Given of course that one of those was sat last year. I have English paper two tomorrow morning, so by eleven tomorrow I will be finished forever. Yay.
On another note, Today, Dont eat the yellow snow turns one!
Thats right. One special candle on the cake for this site!
You know what that means? Thats right! There is a years worth of Nick related insanity is within the archives.
Ahhh, thats reassuring. Although. I am kinda glad that I got this year recorded.
Big updates in future.

Lets just try and analyse the way that we are all apparently feeling right now.
I always had this impression of me going into Year 12 exams as this studied up, knowledgeable and well prepared little student, worried as hell knowing that the exams that I am sitting will determine the course of the years to come.
Now that I get here, I dont actually give a flying fuck, as I realise that whatever doesnt kill me, not only makes me stronger, but is easily sorted. As far as I can see, I have five more days before I am free of the school system forever. Yet, its not a feeling of joy with which I approach the termination of schooling (and I am sure I'm not alone). It really is only a strange numbness. Just an emotional detachment. I do want to get it over with. And I surely will celebrate its passing once I walk out of that exam hall in five days time but I'm also not so sure it should so readily be celebrated. This is really the last time that we are wholly free. Regardless of our age and how mature we are, it is now that we stand on the threshold of adulthood. An exciting prospect surely, but with it also comes the price of responsibility. All too soon has the carefree innocence of childhood caved into the somewhat scary notion of leaving everything we have ever known behind. I know that for these holidays I will feel lost. I know that I am not alone.
Maybe we are too quick to celebrate without considering the ramifications of what we are going through. Dont get me wrong. Its worthy of a celebration,sure, We haven't been busting our asses all year to just let it pass by. But even so, Not many consider what we are really celebrating. I'd like to think of it more like a wake: the celebration of a wonderful time, despite the uncertainties and trepidation of the future.
I think maybe I have ranted and rambled enough. Most of you all know what you are feeling and what you are going through. It should be pretty much the same. Its really really weird. And I'm not confident that the full force of the emotion can really be explained. I think it just has to be experienced. You will know it when you get there.
Well, That rant is over.
For anyone who cares, I have my chemistry option paper on Monday morning followed by Physics paper 1 and 2 Tuesday afternoon. Physics option on Wednesday morning, and English paper 1 in the afternoon. My final exam happens to be English paper 2 on Thursday morning. By 11am on Thursday the 13th. I will be done.
Many things then lie on my to do list:
I have to get a Tux for the grad ball. (Any suggestions would be appreciated)
I have to prepare for schoolies week, what with working out what we are going to do for food and shit.
Have to go birthday shopping for that amazing girlfriend of mine.
I have to... burn all my school books, Sacrificially: You are all welcome to join me
Teach Daw how to play the guitar
Practice Howie Day's "Madrigals" to perform at the Grad. Ball
Read a fuck load of books and watch a fuckload of movies.
So, thats what the future holds.
Good Luck to the rest of the Year 12's in their final exams.

I'm halfway done. Well, Just about.
I have Chem paper 3, Physics paper 1-3 and English paper 1-2 to go.
I have 6 Days left.
Yay.
1. What food do you like that most people hate?
Uhm, I actually like sushi, and lots of people dont like that.
2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Mushrooms. There are people who love them but they make me feel ill.
3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
hmmm, I dont know. Theres bound to be a couple. Anyone who thinks Christina Aguilera is hot is wrong in my book.
4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find
attractive?
Catherine Bell (AKA the JAG chick). Smoking hot, but woefully underappreciated.
5. What popular trend baffles you
The whole, "Wearing clothes that are far to big for you and having pants that wind up halfway down your ass when you walk" Its rediculous! I dont understand it! Also Slutty dressing in girls. Its so common yet so unnappealing. Give me a gal in jeans and a t shirt anyday.

The rest of the Matrix movies: ie: Revolutions and Reloaded. (I havent seen the third, but its bound to be good)
Hannibal: Its a moving movie.
Vanilla Sky: Its a Tom Cruise mind fuck, but its a good one.
When Harry Met Sally: Best movie ever. Enjoy.
At least one "Police Academy" movie:So you learn never to see another. Aim to see one with Steve Gutenberg.

Studying is BORING.
I have been sitting on my ass at home doing Chemistry and Maths past papers all day. I am at present, as bored as hell. The pain the pain of it all! As I may have mentioned, my first exam is on Tuesday and I feel woefully underprepared.
Also, I seem to have lost my IB Chemistry textbook, so I appeal to all of you, if you happen to have two IB Chem texts, one of which has the name "Nick Lucas" inside the cover (and possibly a comical drawing of a penis somewhere on the front) please let me know. Its making it quite difficult to actually study for Chem. (Which is next Friday).
As far as Physics goes, the exam is on the 11th of November, and I still can't do physics. Dangit.
Also, "Saya pikir bahwa ujian besar untuk Bahasa Indonesia akan memperkosa saya dengan keras dalam keledai".
Which means for those who don't speak Indonesian a rough translation: I think that the Indo exam will rape me brutally in the ass. Which is true.
Sighs, Oh well, I dont actually desperately care what my TER is, I have no particular career goal. I respect those of you who actually KNOW what you want to do with your lives and can adjust your study regieme accordingly.
In other news, Schoolies week rapidly approaches, its about three weeks away now, and its a very very exciting thought. Being guys, I think we will struggle as far as cooking normal human food will go.
Methinks we will be surviving on packet noodles and McDonalds. Eh, who cares if its bad for us.
I think i might well have rambled enough for the time being. Ill see you all later.
