Jenny's Radio Adventures

This is just a short entry because I'm an idiot. I misread an 8 as a 9. So there you go. There's just this quick entry then tomorrow THE BIG 50!! (I'm also telling this as a story without quotes, back to normal tomorrow.)
Thursday was the end of KOFM's Essential 2008 Countdown, some selected awesome people got reeeally excited about it.
Some of these selected awesome people (Flick and I) even sat outside during Maths just to listen to the radio.
The whole thing came to a dramatic climax during English. Emily and Millie had been trapped inside their classroom by a TEACHER!! SHOCK HORROR!! Mr Grogan, who is not a teacher but a MAGIC TROLL allowed Jenny to go outside and listen to the radio. BUT HOW WOULD SHE PASS ON THE SONGS TO EMILY AND MILLIE?!?!?!
She devised a scheme...the third song on the countdown was Bohemian Rhapsody. She turned the radio up loudly so they could hear it.
"Number 3. Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy..." Unfortunately, after she did that...SHE COULDN'T TURN IT BACK DOWN!!! Luckily, at that moment Kelby came along and pressed the off button. They ran around the corner and turned the radio back on and then down again.
Thank heavens for Kelby.
We found out later that not only had Bohemian Rhapsody got Sam into trouble, but there was a year 11 class next door who had been talking abut asexual reproduction only to be interrupted by a chorus of beautiful voices asking whether they were having hallucinations or not.
The rest of the countdown was not as adventurous. Kelby yelled the second song (Straight Lines by Silverchair) outside the classroom and then Jenny tried using Charades to tell them that You Shook Me All Night Long (by ACDC) was the top song. Unfortunately Emily was laughing too hard, Sophie didn't care and Millie couldn't see me.
This year was fun, I don't even want to think about what I'm going to have to do to hear the top 3 next year...
