Hello world!
We went out to dinner for my Dad's birthday. And by complete chance we met my aunt and two cousins there since they had also happened to come for dinner on that day there. It was really nice. I haven't seen my two cousin brothers in agggeeess. One is now 12 and the other is 15. I can't believe they have grown so much. They are both feet taller than me.
Anyway while at dinner we saw an advert on the bus for Ghosts of Girlfiends Past or whatever it is called. Sister has seen it and I asked her if it was any good. Ma then chips in by saying that she is a fan of romcoms and wants to see this movie. Dad then asks her what sort of example she is setting by wanting to watch a film about a serial dater. I thought he was talking about me and Sister, that somehow we would be influenced by our Ma wanting to watch that movie. It then turned out that it had nothing to do with us impressionable children, but everything to do with him. He told Ma that it gave him ideas. She then told him that all the violent, action films he likes have given her idea to go out and kill people.
The whole point of his argument was that he didn't want to go to see a romcom. Now, though they can neither go see action movies since my Ma might do something he will later regret.
As I told him then, he really dug a hole for himself and just kept digging.
And then yesterday I went with Sister to drop her back off at Uni. Parents are not thrilled about her going back. Her exams are over and now she is having fun. To them it's why can't she commute and live at home and then go there to have fun, and to her it's why can't they understand that it would cost her a whole load more to commute since she has already paid the rent for the whole of this term. And I find myself in the middle. Wholse side am I supposed to take? No ones that who. I am an expert with agreeing with everyone and committing to no one. I have been doing it for the whole of my life now.
But even though being in the middle is annoying (and to be fair neither party does it intentionally. All think I am on thier side) fropping my sister to Uni was more fun than I thought it would be. For one thing we passed a park and saw this tree.
Itsn't it a beautiful, natural thing? Ma thinks someone did it and that might be right but I really hope it isn't.
Then today I ended up giving blood for some tests. I have never given blood beofre. In fact no one has taken blood from me and I only loose blood for the obvious and falling over. So this was a first. And when I told me Dad that (since he dropped me and picked me up) he decided to have some fun.
ME: I have never given blood before.
DAD: The needles are sooo hugeeee.
ME:...
DAD: And they take sooo much blood from you
ME:...
DAD: People faint all the time.
ME:...
DAD: And it is so painful! It has the be the most painful thing I have ever done in my life.
ME:...
His side of the conversation did really go like that. Mine, not so much. I laughed a whole load and told him he was speaking rubbish. Needles and blood have never scared me. In fact, today I couldn't look away. I didn't know my blood was sooo dark. And look at my medal of honor!
I am extremely proud of it. Next step, donating blood to the hospital.
And today I have a strong desire to go to a Charity Shop. I love Charity Shops soooo much, I always manage to find something brilliant there.
Live long and prosper!
