Shrug So I went home to visit my family. Okay so I went home to visit my grandfather who is turning 80 on my birthday on wednesday. Mum didn't tell him I was coming, so it was a pleasant suprise. It was actually suprisingly fun, seeing assorted relatives and all. It was a smallish sort of gathering, with a few of poppy's friends, and some family, and not the bits I really dont like, so that was good. I think my parents are mellowing in their old age - they get easier to deal with everytime I see them. Maybe its cos I have what they deem a respectable job these days. Other aunts and uncles felt the need to comment on how its so nice my head isn't shaved in bits anymore - grr its comments like that thet make me desire to shave it again. I'm still too fat, but I think they are deluded these days. Some of my cousins were nice, now they are older. And the food and booze was pretty good too, maybe the booze helped ease my nerves. Jess and Cam came with me, and they were wonderful - my favourite ppl this week. They didn't even scare my family, and my family didn't scare them too much either - so that was a relief, I was really quite nervous about inflicting my family on them. But they appeared to enjoy themselves. Mikey is my other favourite person, mainly because he was nice enough to loan me his car for the weekend. My car is only about 30kms away from its 1000km service now :) Now I have all these strange feelings inside me about how I feel about family and so on, and not a single one makes anysense, so I still have to figure that out. In other news - its 2 more sleeps to my birthday. I'm still dissapointed by how few people are coming to see the play, but i shouldn't be. I need to cheer up a bit I think. Its Arcanacon in a few days - so i have much work to do for that. But enthusiasm levels are lowish - i have costumes to make and all that, its just in that sort of waiting for things to happen stage, while things are being busy, which is a bit strange but kind of makes sense to me. snarfing |
