Extreme Scrabble

I figured I should explain the title.
Extreme Scrabble is just like regular scrabble, but in "extreme" circumstances. It's mostly in the planning stages at the current time, but we (me&Jor) did give the scrabble board a test run in her back garden. It's like a trial run. It went well; I was winning all the way through, but I got lumped with impossible letters at the end, so lost at the last second. Jordana thinks it was skill, and I le her believe that; I'm a nice guy.
SO now, world, prepare yourself to witness the creation of a new artform:
EXTREME SCRABBLE

New friends

I met three girls today, Shanice, Candy and Lilly. They are in year 6, 8 and 7, respectively. Jordana and I were chilling out on the green near her house when they started talking to us (I'm not some weirdo who talks to kids). They'd been playing on the green for a while, rolling down the hills, and slowly moved closer.
The youngest was pretty bold for a kid, and they all had filthy mouths. I told them off for it. Had them convinced I was gay, too (to which they asked Jordana, "Are you a lesbian, then?"). They seemed like good kids, if not a little chavvy, which was weird, I don't normally expect kids to be civil.
I had a scare at the end, though. Candy was trying to get hold of my mobile 'phone, and ended up snatching my aftershave can, which contained a joint. I was anxious to get it back. She examined it, opened it then took a siff. She wrinkled her nose and gave it back, when I told her that "smoking's bad for you".
For some reason everyone had decided to go back there at the same time on Thursday. Should be pretty interesting.
A fairly weird experience.
