Since Leslie has decided to bring back her lj and write, it has inspired me to do the same. I should be doing my policy memo now, but oh well. I made a pledge to stop drinking (except for two special occassions) for the rest of the semester, not for any big reason, but just because I felt like I should stop for a while. Well, that lasted until tonight, when I wanted to be cool in front of this girl who I work with, well not really, it was just a really funny situation that I truly felt I could not pass up. So Daphne and I went to go see The Host, and, with some rum, it was absolutely hilarious. One of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time, kind of like Snakes on a Plane funny. It was supposed to be funny, or ironic at least, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be as funny as I found it, I know foreign humor is a little different and a little more obvious and silly (which is how the rum helped a bit). But its like the number one rated flick in Korea at the moment, so I'm not sure if they're taking it seriously or in a funny way, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thoroughly. I had fun with Daphne tonight. I'm glad that we are seeing movies together, it makes work less boring now that we're actually hanging out. I picked up another permenant shift, Sunday matinees at the Varsity. So, though I don't want people to think I can get them in for free, I like the idea of people being able to come visit because its right there on Franklin. I don't know about some of those Varsity people though, tonight when I was there got me thinking and I think I appreciate the Chelsea a bit more. Especially with Cup a Joe. Except for Toby at Cup a Joe, who still doesn't know who I am after I've met him and introduced myself about a million times, and hes come over about a million times for soda, yet he still doesn't know I work next door. Anyways. I talked to my aunt tonight, when I was a bit tipsy, because I thought she was my cousin, but it was actually my aunt. And usually when I talk to my relatives, on my dad's side mind, I try and get away as fast as possible because I hate socializing with them, but I found that alcohol helps, and I was very social this evening and we had a lovely conversation. She told me that she is looking forward to my dad's wedding and wondered what the status was. I paused for a long time, proceeded to laugh, and inform her that I had no idea and that it was constantly changing. Later, I spoke to my dad and asked him what the progress was, what the situation looked like, and he told me that he had no idea at all. They are so not getting married. I predict we will be moving, again, within the next month and half. This inspired me to go home this weekend and just pack up my shit, to further inspire him to call off the wedding and leave. Now, this may be a bit selfish of me, that I really just don't want him to marry this woman, but I do believe that it is in his best interest not to go through with it in May, for I know, and I know that he knows, that he will just regret it and look for a way out, which will result in another divorce, and a larger mess than what has been going on in the past couple years. He did tell me, though, basically, that he could not break it off yet because then he would have nowhere to live, and I did tell him that he should at least postpone it. The woman has been married like five times already anyways. AAAAAAAAAnyways, enough about that. He and my mom are going to play music together again (this did not sit too well with Cindy) and, whats better, is that they want to start a family band with Melody and myself. That sounds like a great idea! And we can get matching sequined outfits and go around to all the places we played at when I was a kid, like Morning Dew and Colombia Street Bakery, though I'm pretty sure that closed when I was like eight. Yeah. So anyways. Natalya and I are going to run in the 5K thing Easter weekend, and I am excited! I'm excited to actually exercise, and with Natalya, since we don't do that anymore, though we used to all the time. What else is new avec moi? I had lunch with Amanda today- I want us to become better friends because I like her. Shes going to Italy this summer and I really hope that she, or someone, will come visit me in Wales. I want Natalya to come, I know she would too if she could. But I like the idea of showing off my small town of Ystradgynlais to someone, kinda how I liked showing off Calum to everyone. I miss Calum. But alas I shall see him soon. I want to leave this country already! I want to go to Paris! I want to go away! I want to book my ticket now! And I know, that I do not want to wait around here until May 26th for a wedding that is not going to happen. I can see it now- the night before, the family is all in town, and my dad finally drags Cindy aside to tell her he'd rather not be her husband, and then he has to go tell the family that its off. Except he'll probably just tell my Grandma and she'll tell everyone else, only a couple people at a time, and in a hushed voice, and everyone will speak about it as if it were a big scandal. Well maybe it won't happen that way, at least I really hope not, because that would be absurd. Maybe, in addition to looking for an appartment or a house for Megan and I to live in next year, I should also look for somewhere my family can live in after my dad packs up his stuff and yells out the window he'd rather not marry her as we speed away in the car. Ok, it probably won't happen that way either. But you never know these days. All six of us, pets and all, will end up in the cabin with my mom, and we'll all have to be out when Scotty does his massage work. Hahahahahahaha! Ok, back to homework.
Leave me comments, friends, so I will update more often and tell you about my wonderful life!!!
