I feel strange. I know I probably am strange, but I don't often feel
it. But now I do. It's like my brain has gone into sleep mode, but I'm
not asleep... as you can see! (Or read, or something). I don't feel
intelligent anyway. I collided with Dad in the kitchen earlier this
afternoon, and then dropped David's tea cup, which smashed. Good thing
it's his birthday next week - I know what I'm buying him;-)
I've been having half revelations this afternoon, something to do with
the state of my mind no doubt. Perhaps I'm getting the guilts, but I
don't think so. I take so many people for granted and it hurts when I
realise. I wish I was perfect - life would be easy.
Joe is turning 21 on the 10th of next month, and on the 27th of this
month we're having a party for him! That's just under two weeks away.
It's anazing how fast the date is coming up. It's exciting too. His
friends are all so nice - most people probably don't like their big
brother's friends, but I do. There are 25 or so peeps invited, some of
which we know, and others we don't, so it will be lots of fun. We're
planning exciting things, and our cousins are coming too! You know the legendary
Danielle?
She and her other legendary family members (well nearly all of them but
not all - sadly) are coming over, not just for that but we can pretend
they are anyway (why pretend exactly I don't know). We haven't seen
them since they ran away* at the beginning of the year, so it will be
so so good. We're really quite excited.
I'm feeling down about schoolwork, and I think that's part of the whole
mood. I don't want to wake up tomorrow. I mean I do, but not for 20th
world history and Broadway research. I've had enough. But that's a bad
attitude, and I think I've just got to chill out. I'm such a stress
freak, and I have to keep looking at the big picture. It's not as if
someone is going to die if I don't ever finish the research paper and
the history book. But I do want to, but if for some reason I don't it's not going to kill anyone. *sigh*
Sonfest... has been... cancelled. Yep, you read it rightly - it's never
going to be on again. We're sad. BUT, there is another Christian music
festival called Black Stump that is apparently quite similar, and we're
going! And so are Annie and Vance. And so is Joe! And someone else
special. It's on the October long weekend in Sydney. Yay.
I've been thinking of things to write all weekend, but of course now
they've all run away and I can't remember them. I got a e-mail to
Bonnie
finished and sent. I was going to say "So you can expect that soon
Bonnie" but with this modern technology, it's already at your house!
Braindead I know... And I thought about writing to
Danielle,
but of course I didn't get it done, but at least thinking about doing
it is better than not thinking about it at all, right? Right???
My
sister is a
tease. But I still like her.
She and I watched
Cats yesterday. And it's seriously, leftfield! Man alive, it's so... like nothing I've ever seen. Cats prancing around in beautiful
(not!) cotumes singing songs about how they are jellical cats. ? There
was a plot, but it wasn't that important. There was a cat we call Rock
Star Cat (but that's not his real name) 'cause he had on a slinky
leatard (spelling? and I even used to do physi!) instead of a furry
one, and a feather bower and a dog chain necklace. And though it was
obvious that he was classically trained, he could rock! He was good
too, though a little over the top at times. The song
Magical Mr Mistoffelees was my favourite, oh, and
Memory - those two cats (ooops, ladies) had amazing voices. But the midi version doesn't do much for the genious of Lord Webber.
Well I really should wrap up. I hope I am at least halfly sociable at
church, and don't just walk blindly past people. Chocoalte muffins and
Echo with marshmallows have helped wake my brain up a little.
So ta ta.
*That will give them a bad name, so I better just add that they didn't really run away, they moved away. But they moved to the ends of the earth. Alright, not to the ends of the earth, but nearly to the end of Australia.
