hello, old friend. 7:38 AM

and this is the way I spent my day,
uh huh; did you too?
----

hello y'all!
I swear, my family's going on some kinda electronic craze thing.
today I came back to find a Wii sitting in the living room and my brother kyaa-ing and hyaa-ing all over the room; and my mum's recently gone gaagaa over some little gizmo that apparently gushes 2 million negative ions into the air; and apparently negative ions're really good for the health. which is why, says the pamphlet, you feel so refreshed when you're standing next to a waterfall- coz it's emitting lots and lotsa negative ions.
yeah so anyway. she was so enchanted that she bought one for each of us. at, like, seven hundred a pop.

hello if you want more negativity in the air; I'll do it, for seven hundred dollars.

mhm, so the whole family's going electronics-crazy but for some inexplicable reason, I'm still not allowed to change my crummy old phone. ):
"you only need the sms and call functions anyway."
mhm, mhm. okay.
I can deal with that. I'm not thaaat much of a princess.

the fifteen minutes before and after church are always the most fun.
I was sitting on the couch with everyone else and then I took out Princess Sparkle so I could play with her;
and the guys just stared.
I swear, time stopped for a few seconds.
it was freaky.

then everyone started laughing.
at Princess Sparkle.
which excuse me is so insulting!
haven't y'all ever seen a my-little-pony before. ):

and then Ethan happened to walk in when I was playing with Princess Sparkle's hair, but at least he didn't say anything; see, some people have manners. I got my New Moon back, hurrah! - and then he borrowed my very thumbed-through, very battered, very over-read copy of LotR. and I forgot to bring his OneRepublic CD but oh well. By the way d'you know OneRepublic's awesome? yes a little commercial break right here. I know they're kinda pretty mainstream, like mtv kinda mainstream, but I love their songs and their lyrics. The lyrics get me every time.

wedding reception at the China Club-- which is an Orientified version of the Tower Club, 52 storeys above ground, woooo.
think rich chinese mafia. I half expected ninjas to come abseiling down from the ceiling. or have a bevy of Zhang Ziyi-esque beauties come giggling around the table, offering rice wine or something.

met cousin Mark again.
and was trapped against the window listening for all of ten minutes, while he taught me how to sneak beer and all the different percentages of alcohol in beer and how to pass beer off as apple juice.
also learnt how to hide the smell of cigarette smoke. it all sounds very complicated.

"... uh. I'd rather take the easy way out and just not smoke at all."

...and was also grilled on my future career choice.
"so whatcha gonna be? tell me."
"my parents want me to be a doctor. or a lawyer."
"well, so did mine. And did I? hell no! I ended up as a dj."
"woohoo, good for you."
"so let me predict your future. You'll probably end up dropping law, taking up a literature course, taking an arts degree, and going on to be some playwright or actress or someone in my industry."
"omigosh no kidding."
"yeah! coz you're like me. I can see it in your eyes."
"lit and art sound good."
"they do? cause baby we've got the same dna, man; you follow in my footsteps and be the black sheep of the family, aight?"

so... I'm the unofficial future black sheep.
WOO! bright future, much.

the rest of the night was spent making small talk and meeting (more) relatives and pretending that yes, I remember them from ages ago; oh wow, you've been looking so well, you're all grownup now, aye.

did I mention I love my cousins?
love love love love love.
alex julia cara jon jana. the Fab Five, always. <3

Cooper Scooper's been having nightmares. ): But she's got Ryan now, so s'all good.
s'always nice to have somebody to call at 2am in the morning; hear the groggy "...yeaah?" but not feel guilty coz you know they'll talk to you and calm you down and sing you lullabies till you fall asleep again, and even then they'll hang on the phone just so they can hear your breathing, just so they can be sure you're sound asleep.
it feels a little funny but I'm smiling cause they're happy-- and with Cohen we make the OC Foursome. whichhhh is awesome, naturally.

californiaaaaaa. (!!)
