When I went to Luke’s Place Lockyer yesterday, which is somewhere where disabled people can go I found out that another person was also doing volunteer work, and yesterday was his first day at the job and what this person has to do is go to the dog pound or whatever they called and walk the dogs. And he came back when it was getting onto twelve and he was so muddy that he had to take his shoes off. Also the supervisor that took him there got the guy to mop out the van as the floor was muddy but I can imagine that he really enjoyed walking the dogs.

Last Tuesday I found out that the supervisors at Luke’s Place have lined me up to teach people to knit. And as far as I know there is one other person apart from myself who wants to learn to knit. And also one of the supervisors wanted to know how to do french knitting or corking and asked me if I knew how to do it and as I said I did I was then telling her how. Then another thing that they are getting me to do is a drawing for a mosaic as apparently they want everyone that is doing work in the community to do one. And I’ve thought of two images and yesterday I thought that perhaps I could join them up, and as I do volunteer work in the Laidley Library one of my drawings is a pile of books on the counter with a computer and I’m thinking of drawing two people to finish off that drawing.

And the other drawing I’m doing is bookshelves that are full of books, and to finish off that drawing I could also draw a trolley and a blue chair as they are the two things I use when I work there.

Also to make the mosaic I will be using bits of cardboard that is coloured in and then I’ll stick them where I have drawn the books and that is all I have decided on and this is for the art show that I recently found out will be again held at Luke’s Place Lockyer on the 6th of September.

The supervisor that took me to the library on Tuesday parked in the supermarket carpark like most of them do, but this person doesn’t bother straightening the van up when she parks. And before I got out I thought this was crooked and when I got out I noticed that the van was parked extremely crooked, however we then went to the library, and when the same supervisor came back for me she was telling me about this guy that was in the carpark that really blew up at her and she said she still hasn’t got any clue to what his problem was?

And I told her maybe it was because the van was parked extremely crooked at the time, and I also told her that she parked it straighter this time but she said no that wasn’t it.

Also as I was telling my parents this they both agree with me that the man blew up at her because of the way she had parked. But the supervisor that took me to the library that day didn’t seem to realize that her crooked parking was causing problems for other people.

Quite recently I have been thinking about why I liked reading The Twilight Saga that Stephenie Meyer wrote. And I guess the reason is because I’m currently reading her new book in the series which is a novella and is called The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner. Anyway why I liked Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga is because she didn’t just write about vampires that hunted people for their blood, as some of the vampires that was in her book were like The Cullens and preyed on the wildlife instead of people.

And some vampires like The Cullens pursued other interests, and taught themselves to ignore their thirst when near people, and to cover up their true identity they called themselves “vegetarians” and when they were around ordinary people The Cullens acted as if they were people themselves and not vampires.
