Wardour

Where to begin...

This week has been overly emotional, and highly strung. I have had a predictably stressful day today, but starting with yesterday, i did basically nothing except organising my files and reading up on aging in worms, and then being excited for Yasmine getting to London. I picked her up introduced her to "um.... these are the people i live with" (: and then took her out to dinner in Little Italy.

Chinatown is stunning at the moment; all the lanterns are up for New Years, and the paw-cats are lined up outside supermarkets. I'm glad she enjoyed it.

We came back, introduced her to more of my friends, & had a mini-party in my room, which was sweet.

And then today came knocking, accompanied with my Momma, uncle & too much food for one person. There are people you love, but would much rather avoid most of the time, calling up every now and again to let them know you care, but really hoping for the absolute minimum contact time. People who, even though you feel fine, you're fine, life is fine, how you've arranged your saucepans is fine, the order you put your books on a shelf is fine, continue to insist that there's an issue you should be upset about. People who really are no fun for smiley happy people. I am a smiley, happy person. My uncle falls into the former bracket. How stressful. In addition to this, my Mother's comments about how i appear to have "shrunk in the wash" were not very well received; i'd like to think, actually, that i am perfectly well, very much contented and am trundling along smashingly, thank you very much.

Having said all this, i do love my family, and my Mother is the best one in the world. Trust. 

And you've got me standing in an

Awkward position with

Unwanted attention

And a need for explanation

But i could never let you go

And that is all i know.

I just played the most awesome game. Well:

Going through the alphabet, naming something from Harry Potter for each letter. I'm the second coolest person on this planet.

Oh and i just lost the Game. Had to be said, sorry everyone.

And finally,

This is for you.

You know who you are.

You will when you watch it.
