I suppose I ought to post, really.

Marin is... a very strange person. There are a number of matters over the following week or so that are very strange indeed.

Tee hee!

First of all, he text me to ask me if he could meet me the following afternoon - I'd forgotten that he was to have a day off college, so I asked him to meet me in town, where we both go to college, at lunch time. He said yes... and then the next day I remembered, and had to spend lots of money texting him to tell him to meet me in town where we live!

And then, all he wanted was to obssess about his halloween costume (which I'll explain later) and to tell me we were going for this halloween dinner on Friday (that was today if you couldn't tell the day). He ALSO had the nerve to tell me that My Little Ponies no longer existed, because I couldn't find any in Woolworths*.

He phoned me later in the week, and my sister answered... the conversation went a little like this:

"Hello?"

"Hello. Can I speak to your little sister please?"

"No."

::long pause::

I really don't think he knew what to think, heh. Oh well. He deserves it, he's weird. This time he actually told me what TIME we were meeting - which was 11.30 in time for our dinner booking. See, for the past three years now, we've sort of combined Marin's birthday celebrations (It's November 1st by the way) and Halloween, by going to Pizza Hut all dressed up. The first year, we actually went on Halloween, and the second time we... went in the day, a few days before... both times he went as a very oddly made up vampire, with lots and lots of white makeup and dribbles of blood... This year though he wanted to change, and he didn't know what to.

Well, today I found out.

...

I got to our usual meeting place (the school gate) and saw Marin... dressed in trainers, troose, a pink polo shirt, a brown blazer, and a pink/red velvet... pimp hat, with a large white feather. Which... was very odd indeed. He said he got the hat from the Disney Store**, I think it was Hook's hat, but I'm not entirely sure what he was meant to be, even still. He said that he was meant to be "A cross between the scarlet pimpernel, and a badly-dressed gay homosexual".

Not entirely sure why he needed the words 'gay' AND 'homosexual', but still...

OH, and another thing about these past three years we've been going... well, see there are two Pizza Hut resturants at the big shopping centre that we all live by (Merry Hill), and every year without fail has booked BOTH resturants. Each and every time, it has absolutely baffled me! Does he not understand what booking means? Does he think that by some awful mistake, we won't get our table? This year, we had eight people booked, and if he did indeed book both resturants (as I suspect he did, he says he didn't... but he wouldn't answer me straigh the first time I asked, and he laughed a lot in an embarrased sort of way, which I think means he was lying) think how many customers they would have lost! That's a LOT of seats to turn people away from, if they're not being filled.

I think he annoyed mon petit Kayleigh, too... because he took photos of her. Poor Kayleigh.

So pretty much, Marin is fairly ridiculous.

THE END (cheerie-o!)

Greetings little ones.

Now you may be wondering whether the title of this blog is just entirely random or whether Marin is in fact a real person. Well, whether or not he is an actual real person is up for debate. However, it is not an entirely random title as this blog is in fact dedicated to the odd behaviour and actions of Marin!

Marin is Martin Hadley, a fellow blogger known by the name of Well Placed Comma (yeah, he likes to think that he knows grammar.... he doesn't...) Nobody ever calls him Martin though. It's either Marin, Nitram, Oi, It, That Thing, Ugh It's You... I could go on...

Here is a small factsheet about Marin, just so that you get an idea of the person we're talking about:

- He is far too tall for his own good... his head has its own climate.
- He spikes up his hair everyday, but really loves it when he mess it up and make it fluffy... Marin loves having fluffy hair.
- He loves peas, all vegetables in general actually. Anything that's healthy, Marin loves it! He pretends that he doesn't and buys chips everyday. Yet we all know that when are backs are turned he gorges on veg!
- He loves Stargate. It has a BIG FAT PORTAL!!!! Marin loves the portal.
- He thinks history is better than physics (which of course it is!)... In fact, Marin thinks most things are better than physics (which of course they are!)
- He loves Neighbours (secretly.) He has a shrine to it in his room, which he worships every day. - He is a MAN because he loves Die Hard...
- He can't grow facial hair. He has been growing a moustache for two weeks... "moustache"- yeah right! I have more eyebrows than he has facial hair!

So those are the facts. Now that you know a little about Marin you're more equipped for the upcoming posts in which we will provide examples of Marin's absurd and ludicrous, but often hilarious, behaviour.

Till next time, little ones.
Au Revoir
