I Need a Break... OUCH! Not That Kind!
I've been working Trojan-like over the past week for my placement at Donvale, and I'm feeling pooped to the dickens. I've got quite a few lesson plans to do, and considering I'm teaching The Hobbit to my Year 10's, I can't help but plan awesomely fun, but very very detailed, lesson plans so they get the most out of it (I'm bringing in excerpts from the LotR trilogy to show how people have represeted Gollum, and a bit of his background - coolest character ever). Combine this stuff with the fact that I'm giving a message and doing a drama for '5 - 2 - 9' (youth program at church) and a vox pop segment for the night service at church on Sunday, and you have a very busy, tired Danny. I'm feeling good about it though, I think I can pull it off, and it'll be over soon. My wife has been the best chick in the world too, supporting me by making dinner, cleaning dishes and making me lunch; I have to be the luckiest guy in the world.
Kep reading, it gets more interesting.
On top of all this stuff, I discovered recently from my doctor that I broke my rib a little while back. This is the story: I was wrestling with Chrystal one day (about 3 months ago) and I twisted myself in a weird way and heard an audible 'SNAP' from my chest. Pretty intense pain followed. For the next months after that, I had the worst sleep (lying down was painful, getting up even more so), hated changing from 3rd to 2nd in the manual car (the angle made things hurt), but couldn't be bothered to go to the doctor to get it checked out. My theory was "Ah well, what's the doctor gonna do? You can't exactly plaster it up".
Anyway, it got better after about a month. Then I went to a Grand Final thingy at Dan Hoyne, Matt Baker and Glen Jessop's place, and we all had a kick of the footy at a nearby park. Bad move. I ended up on the second-bottom of a stacks on (very fun, mind you), and came back up again with a very painful side.
I got quite sick of it after that, so I did go to see the doctor, and they gave me my previously predicted response of "Can't do much. Sorry.", but they did tell me that the rib was actually broken.
So there you go, now I know what a broken rib feels like. I can tick that box in my list of 'life experiences'. I'm looking forward to another kind of break in about two weeks...

I can safely say that Chrystal won the wrestling match.
heheheh, I've never broken anything... I agree that Golem is the coolest character, pity he ends up dying...
OWIE!!! That sounds just nasty! I hope it gets better really soon! Poor dboy. But know i know your weakness... mwahahahaha!
she's gonna take over now isn't she?
Hey Danny, I can relate buddy. They cut out one of my ribs, then put it back in loose and sewed me back up. I had it like that for two weeks until second stage surgery. Talk about painful. Even the smallest things were agonising.
And stop it with the awesome wife thing! You're making me lonely! :P
yes, dboy... what's all this chick-wrestling stuff???
How many times do we have to tell you that australian women are just too big, strong and aggresssive for that sort of thing.
Chrystal used to be turkish weightlifter and wrestler before you met her, didn't she?
Besides, i think you're misreading song of solomon - doesn't sound like you've got the idea of what 'intimacy' is all about...
'...can picture dboy on a first 'date'
" please, can i have just one good-night indian arm wrestle before you go?"
" No, Dboy, I'm not that kind of girl.!"
"what about a chinese burn, then?"
"Nooo, you're making me blush!"
"Well could you at least put me in a headlock and run your fingernails across my face before you go, just a goodbye move?"
"Get out!"
"A karate chop to the throat?""
"No! But next time we go out, I'll THINK about sumi wrestling you off the dance floor"
"Yipee!"
Ooh baby! I'm up for some of that!
And that's why you're still single! :P
Or perhaps that's why I'm still single. I'm not beating up enough guys! Now I know the secret!!!
Hahahaha!
Funny thing is, Chrystal wasn't even touching me at the time. She broke my rib telekenetically with sheer willpower! Ouch! Don't mess with that chicky :/
Peebody knows me too well. Hehehe... "It'll go away". Silly Dboy.
Yeah, nah, there's nothing that I can get to support or brace it - doctor just recommended a few pain killers. Ah well. I'm tough! I can take it!
*pulls best macho face and pose*
Hear this, O ye son of a Philistine, for you will be mocked by eunuchs!
That was me again... I suck at this...
It's not that hard, where's that 'girls adapt to situations better than boys' attitude
I get that impression.
I've for a friend that I've been friends with since I was about 8 months old. Another friend since about age 6. And then lots of others I've known since I was about 12. Yay for long term friends!
There's something about being around people who have travelled with you through your life - long term friends are so valuable (especially PB, cos he's a gem:)).
* warm glowing feeling*
GROUP HUG!!!
*lunges on everyone*
Mmmmm... lunge. I do feel hungry...
I don't, coz it's 12:30am. Not really a time my body says: let's eat! Am I allowed to have an : there? No? Well TOO BAD!
No emoticon colon!
Youw in the prize!
I like to eat are bison!
But the gems aren't rotten yet!

I dare someone to ring that number!!! It woudl be a number in the burwood area I think.
Yeah, I can see how that would be really hard. The move from Brighton to Arthurs Creek really affected me. I was actually quite well-liked at Hampton Primary School.
That's a huge difference!
I went to one primary school and one high school. No moving around for me. My parents have lived on the same property my whole life. We built a bigger house in our back yard and moved into that when I was in year 12, or first year uni. I forget. I have lived out of home for a couple of years though, but now i'm back.
Yeah, they're certainly a different lot. Hehehe... eccentric and loud Europeans.
I don't mind living with my family again at all. They're great.
Good question...
