Well all, it's been two weeks now... Despite some crappy postings this blog still trundles along. Yay for the trundling blog! I was working today with one of my co-workers who was with me the night of the Christmas Party. This really sucked because it turns out I did far more than I thought I did. Nothing awful, it was just things I didn't remember and was embarrassed about hearing.
It also turns out I was talking about a girl I have never spoken to my co-workers about. I wonder why I was doing that? The only other girl I kept talking about was the girl from the coffee place whom I have admired from afar for two years. Yeah, now you know why it was so utterly embarrassing to hear this from someone else. I am never going to do that again, have so much that I get like that. I wonder how much of that actually happened and how much of it was crap?
Lesson - Reunions and meet-ups are so hard to plan. You can't please everyone.
I went to an Old Boys gathering at my old high school. It was pretty lame, but it was good for my friend who came with me. He couldn't believe how much the place had changed. I went to one just a month prior and it was like entering a time warp. It was the same place, but it was the future. So much things had changed. The school looked amazing, I would love to teach at a place like that. But in all honesty, if I had a choice to teach at a school I attended, I wouldn't. I don't know why, I just don't like the idea. This Old Boys thing was a meeting to plan an annual meeting. It was pretty boring as a lot of the old boys are from the seventies and they all want to do these things with their families... My generation, I don't think that many guys are actually married or have families. I wouldn't be surprised if some are, but not as many as those 70's guys. I am also trying to organise an EAN meetup for the Melbourne members, but this time of year is really crap. Hopefully I can get one going post Christmas though, I look forward to doing that. This time around it's going to be out at a restaurant, the food is actually quite nice. It's hard and you can't please everybody, even though I would prefer it if everyone could make it. Oh well...
Had a bit of a conflict with my sister today, was minor but it got really huge for some dumb reasons. I hate arguing with my family, especially my Mum - she says stuff she shouldn't sometimes and I am the type to refute that sort of thing. I always do that, we're too alike, my mum and me. We argue a fair bit, I still love her, but I think I'd love her more if I didn't live with her. It can be tough, not just me though, I am pretty hard to put up with sometimes.
But this argument wasn't with my mum, it was with my sister. It was over me wanting to watch TV after her show had finished. She said I could watch TV here (as long as it wasn't wrestling or "stupid Japanese cartoons"). What really annoyed me was that she said those things, just because something is fake, or animated or in another language, doesn't make it stupid. I hate how my family dismiss things like that. It's incredibly narrow minded and very stupid. I wanted to actually watch my new Family Guy DVD, which she doesn't mind, she likes that show. But when we argued she said no 'stupid cartoons' - she said 'stupid japanese cartoons' afterwards. Since Family Guy is a cartoon, I guessed that included that and it blew up from there. I don't see what the big deal was, apparently she had been there for two hours watching all her shows. I just wanted to watch one thing. I don't like how my family criticises things I like. That annoys me.
Lesson - Don't bother with watching TV anywhere except my room, the dumb conflicts are not worth it.
My sister then got pissed with my Dad because he got involved and said she made a mistake and wasn't perfect. She got really upset about that for some reason. I got annoyed with her because she was changing the subject and I don't believe that was the reason she was upset for anyways. What does this mean? She probably won't talk to me nicely for a few days. Shit happens. Oh well.
Sure has been a boring day, I got work early tomorrow, so I need my sleep.
Take care of yourselves.
James
