Christian is jolly, chubby, jovial, spontaneous, volatile and fun to be around. Frequent temper flares are often taken humourously by the target of the temper flares! [More to come]
Interesting facts, and other related stuff
School Quotes
Just heard from School, the following quotes. All memorable as they mismatch with Girgs' personality :
Start of Term 4, 1996 - Peer Support Camp Details
Swearing update! From the Term 4 Peer Support Camp - Girgs has
once again been driven to break his moral guidelines and has
sworn again. The words "Get down,
Mother Bit**" were said in full hearing of five
witnesses (including me). This was followed by some rather odd
behaviour, demonstrating the violence in Girgs - he pointed a pen
at us saying, "Don't move - I've got a gun". Possible
reason for this sudden outburst was previous events. Andrew Lau
had stuck his hand out at Girgs in the representation of a gun,
yelling, "Get down, Mother B****". Girgs proceeded to
slowly lower himself to the ground, seemingly taking the threat
as if it was a real gun. Strange. The vicious side of Girgs
revealed.
Also said during this camp were the words, "I'll
get vicious..." in response to various annoyances.
Also discovered on camp was Girgs' immense phobia of ... moths.
Upon throwing one on him, he burst out, covering his head with
his arms. Incidentally, we also managed to chuck a moth into his
steel wool hair and suceeded in provoking him more. The same
effect is acheived by chucking bits of paper into his hair as
well. He'll burst into a paranoid spasm thinking it is a moth.
Unfortunately, no photos or sound clips were taken. However, when
I told Girgs after he swore that I had a dictaphone on me, he
charged at me like an ox. Head down, arms flailing. He yelled at
me, "Stop him! Cease him!"
to which, as usual, no one responded and everyone laughed.
From this, a pattern can be seen. Whenever Girgs goes on a school
camp, he goes into a mode termed as,
"Ultra-survival/Paranoid mode". He is extremely touchy,
uncharacteristically violent, volcano-like, and grumpy.
Girgs' first heard swear word was the "s" word). It was uttered when he was down at Pine Bluff and he broke his glasses. When interviewed about this in Term 3, 1996 (Pine Bluff occurred in Term 3, 1995), Girgs said, "I had a good reason to.". Coincidentally, on the very same day, some Year 12 guy crashed into Girgs and sent his glasses flying. In a show of amazing, uncharacteristic co-ordination, he caught his glasses in mid-transit to the ground.
Daniel Kisliakov, in the Mid-year holidays took a trip to Egypt. One of the sights he saw was a train station called "Mar Girgis". See below for "Girgis" in Arabic!
Back-Patting
This involves people simultaneously patting (softly) him on the back. Annoys him like crazy, so I've stopped doing it over the past few days. It makes quite a noise when there are over four hands clattering on his back. Pretty slack, actually. Amusing, though. Girgs - I'll stop it. I'm sorry. Or, as Jeff Goldblum would say (with a "deadpan smile") : "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I apologise. [etc.]"
Record number of hands on back : 11
Record Set on the date : 9 October,
1996
Who? : 6 people

Girgs' weight is phenomenal. Warping the theories of relativity, this counter keeps track of Girgs' approximate weight. Sincere apologies to Girgs. This is NOT meant to be derogatory, and in reality, Girgs is to be congratulated on losing weight (around 10 kgs or so) - well done!
Come back often. You'll find that his weight has increased. Note the weight now, and then come back tomorrow and note the weight again.
Please note that the clock and date set on your computer has to be correct for the applets to work correctly. Please report any corruption of these applets. One more thing - if the numbers stop, move the mouse over them. This should start 'em up again.
Following is an approximation of Girgs' current
mass. Measured in KILOS.
Now here is the amount of food Girgs has
consumed (Kg).
Finally, the amount of food left on the Earth
(assuming Girgs consumes 75%, and the world the other 25%) - Kg.
Please let me know if I've left you off (even if you were in one of the sound files, I'll put your name in). I should have your name on here. No matter how small your contribution, you should be listed here. I'm sorry if I have left you off.
