Hakuna Matata! My support worker's daughter's performance in The Lion King musical she put on with her drama class really worked up a treat! When my support worker showed me the picture of her daughter as Rafiki, she looked more like a jolly old man than an African baboon. There are other things on her agenda too - her car MOT, her trip to Specsavers to get her kids some new glasses, and her daughter's horse riding lesson. Neigh! We went to our favourite newsagent's, where I couldn't resist taking photos of all the cakes and sweets, and even some Monster Munch crisps I spotted. The newsagent's was under repairs, but my support worker may have brought some sweets for her children, I'm not sure. She brought a hot chocolate from that shop and a sausage roll from Harry Gow's, then we went to a perfect spot near the boat to tuck in and discuss what is up with the world today.
We talked about said subjects, I introduced my support worker to my ideas, including my new Power Rangers Zeo DVD, various programming blocks and channels in America such as Fox Kids, home of Digimon and Power Rangers, SNICK, home of Ren & Stimpy, Clarissa Explains It All and Rugrats, Noggin, home of Miffy, Franklin, Jack's Big Music Show and surprisingly the Tweenies, and The N, home of the Degrassi series and LOL With The N, plus motivational interstitials which encourage its teenage audience to respect other people and get psychologically philosophical about their world. My support worker's daughter is into lots of girly shows at the moment, so here they are:
Unicorn Academy, Monster High, anything with Ariana Grande, Victorious, iCarly, Gabby's Dollhouse, My Little Pony, Miraculous and Julie & The Phantoms. Don't you just missed the days when, during the credits, Nick would play videos sent in by viewers at the end of every iCarly episode? Yeah right. It's lucky they even have Netflix - I don't have it. Bet if I did, I think I would watch The Toys That Made Us!
Later, my support worker took me back to my home village to see where my new friend lives. I can't mention the name of my new friend due to COPPA, but what I can tell you was that she left school at 15 due to epileptic seizures and now had to stay at home. She loves colourful sensory things - bubbles, scarves, teddies, light up wands, you name it, she has it. There's a park in her street, and her support workers love to take her there to get a bit of fresh air. She's wheelchair-bound and doesn't talk that much.
Now, to leave school at 15 sounds like a great idea. All I have to do when I'm in that stupid base again is have a meltdown complete with biting teachers, pushing down shelves and overturning tables like a rancid chimpanzee and due to my condition I'm outta here! I'd dedicate the rest of my life to watching DVDs, Scream Street, Clangers, Abney & Teal and In The Night Garden, buying whatever I want from Amazon and doing enough stories to milk an empty cow! But now, due to my years at school until 2019, the year I would like to forget besides 2020, I'm big brained...unlike [some] people I know.
Now, a word of advice from my support worker:
"Never stop doing what you love."
And that includes brainstorming.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, here's my new official theme for the newsagents, where that friendly tween girl works and brings us hot chocolate to drink.
