Hello all
I’m in a pretty good mood today. Regardless of the fact that it is school again in less than three days, the fact that I still need to write the ceremony for tomorrow night, that I still have tons of piano practical and theory to do and the fact that I couldn’t upload a new header for the site last night. Wonder why. Maybe because it’s all cloudy and cold and windy outside. That usually makes me cheerful for some reason.

I think I’ll go outside with my cup of hot chocolate and try to write the ceremony. I have a pretty good ending already. That’s the way it usually goes… I think of the ending or the introduction but am kinda stuck on the middle part. But that’s okay. Hot chocolate has done wonders in the past, I’m sure it can do so again.

Got into major trouble this morning for using 90% of our bandwidth already and it’s only the 12th. I’m being forced to pay for more if I want to stay online. Which I do of course. So I am now even more broke than usual. But whatever.

My uncle and my dad are having a meeting. My uncle is a programmer and my dad does the electronic bits, so they make a pretty good team. My uncle is also really into rping, scifi, fantasy, etc. so the two of us are always on really good terms. /me grins. He’s one of the few people in our family who talks to me as though I am not 6 or something, (Since the rest of the kids in the family are in that age group), but as though I am an actual human being capable of intelligent thought. And since we are a big family, there isn’t enough space for me at the other table, I always get to sit with the little kids. Oh joy. At their table I get to hear all about the latest antics of Winnie the Pooh and Eyore and trying to keep them from spilling their drinks all over the table, while I could be hearing about latest programming languages or listening to discussions on capitalism or predictions of the country’s economical growth at the other table. Which is way more interesting than Winnie the Pooh I assure you.
/me sighs
Also, I think, my aunt kinda uses me as a baby sitter for the others. I’m pretty sure that I shall be sitting at that table until I’m 80. And no. I am not 10 or something myself right now. I am almost done with high school. I wonder if I will finally be able to take leave from that cursed table when I’m done with school. *sigh* I’ll be able to dye my hair then too… black with electric blue, dark purple and silver streaks….
But like I was saying about my uncle, he’s really cool. Him and my uncle from Cape Town. They are both willing to accept the fact that I am interested in computers too and are willing to explain to me if I don’t understand the conversation. My favourite pasttime is to just sit and listen to them all talk. I learn way more that way than I ever would at school. He used to live with us for a while, back when he was a bachelor, but although he’s married now, he hangs around here a lot for work. I certainly don’t complain.
His wife is really sweet too. She’s pregnant now, with a little girl. I have decided that I shall adopt the baby as my favourite cousin and ensure that she is well-versed in the ways of the rper. : P

But whatever. I really have to go write that ceremony speech thing now. So bye. For now.
