"Doing a Solid Snake (or Sam Fisher)"

I've just had a look around the other blocks in my hall, seeing as there aren't that many here yet (though I did see a couple unpacking stuff), and somehow felt like doing a "Solid Snake" i.e. walking trhough each block whilst trying not to get spotted. Highlight was when someone from a corridor left his room, and I was in the staircase just above. Felt very sneaky indeed.

Another time outside a building, where the couple were unpacking from the car, I waited a whole half mintute before they finished so I couldn't be spotted. Finally, walking past the dining hall and hit in a wall gap (it wasn't that small) to avoid detection by the guy who was in charge of it.

As you can see, I've gone a bit barmy. Whatever, I blame it on the insomnia.

My mate and I would play "hide and seek" with the teachers while trying to escape from school during lessons. Be it German/French (I did one, he did the other) or geography, we had our own little route to escape. In fact, we would walk past the windows of the geography/history corridor on the way out. If our teacher had ever been looking out at that precise minute, we'd be done. But he knew we were knocking off all the time anyway.

After taking "extended leave" from German, I had to start avoiding my German teacher - a hard nosed German by the name of Lars Fox (Fox was his English wife's name, his real name was probably Hitler, he was one evil dude)

I had to take alternate routes to get to my lessons to avoid seeing him, until one day he caught me on the way in from break. I said I'd start attending. And never showed up. So he caught me again on the way to RSD or something. Then the head of upper school (and my RSD teacher) had a word with me told me how long I'd been away - Fox hadn't seen me in over three months. Even I was shocked at that. But also quite proud. Oh yes.

Either by myself, or knocking off with a mate, I had to avoid teachers, aids, technicians (caretakers with important sounding names) and even other students (some of them would grass you up - pft) and I always felt like I was in a spy film. Only I never got the Bond girl at the end...

note - not attending school seriously damages your education; after four years of knocking off highschool and then 6th form, I have a grand total of 4 GCSEs C or above and only 2 A levels (both mediocre Cs) Don't be like me, kids, stay in school.

*gives thumbs up, smiles and winks*

If you could knock'em out, it could become a new sport.

I thought when you said you were 'doing a solid snake (or Sam Fisher), you meant you were going 'Commando' ;-)

Only a bit?

Heh heh. nice one.

I often play games and then have strange flash-backs. Like I'll be driving my car and get the sudden urge to do a burnout 2 style multiple pile-up.

You need some fresh air methinks :P

Other pointers: when seeing the guy from the staircase, I actually thought,

"A clear shot to the head"

Barmy, as I said.
