I'm feeling a bit strange tonight, happy earlier but i'm down now.
My Uncle Tam, Uncle James, cousins Jamie and Becky and Jamies mate (Laurence I think) came up tonight. They're from Edinburgh/Manchester.
We're all going to the cemetery tomorrow to put some flowers n stuff down for my Granda.
James was like 10 mins in the door n he was in the kitchen pouring us all a shot of whisky in memory of Granda. (1) It was bloody rotten but (2) It was pretty sad. At the time I was too busy boaking to feel sad haha but thinking back on it now it's pretty emotional.
I went down to my Grans after work for tea, and it was just me and her standing in the kitchen with the door open having a chat. Usually my Granda would be shouting "HEY!!!" from the livingroom cos he couldn't hear the tv...tonight he didn't and I kept expecting him too. I peeked out the door n seen his empty chair n was just like ..... I miss him being here.
It always hits me worse when the whole family get together. We only ever get together for big occasions. And it's horrible when we're all there together and my Granda isn't there. It's horrible that the occasion this time isn't a good one like a birthday, but it's the anniversary of something sad.
Ye know as daft as it sounds I wish I had more videos of him talking, saying his 5 words or so that he could, cos i'm terrified that someday i'm gonna forget what he sounds like... |

A good few years ago, about 10 or more, my family n myself went to Spain on holiday n we met this Irish family n got on really well with them. We'd been sending cards and letters back n forth for years, calling every weekend n things. But we lost the wee book with their address and phone number :S. We've been getting these Christmas cards for years n we cant reply.
So tonight I went onto Facebook n searched for the girl I knew, and found her! Sent her a message explaining everything etc and now i'm waiting on a reply.
AND I'M PURE NERVOUS!
Hahaha why am I nervous!
Laaa.
I don't even know if she uses Facebook regularly cos her profile is private. Oh gads.
This is insane haha
Anyway, in other news.
My works night out (party 1 of 2) is on Saturday in the Greenock Town Hall, any other people gonna be there that night?
This is for the main theatre where everyone goes really, party 2 is next weekend for the opthamology theatre (moine) and the eye clinic etc.
I'm puuuure looking forward to it.
Heading down to Keiras to get ready and have pre-party drinks, then to the Jimmy for MORE pre-party drinks, then to the town hall for our free drink, meal, and d-i-s-c-o.
Gonna have a ball hopefully but i'm NOT looking forward to Sundays hangover :(
Um. Got most of my Christmas shopping done, need to get a few more things for Louise and i'm waiting on some things arriving from various places. Gotta get some wrapping paper and cards and hey ho! All done.
Nothing else exciting is happening really...not that any of the above was exciting.
I'm off to browse t'internet for more presents!
G'nite!

Guess what I did on Saturday night?
Only went to Word Up for the first time like evar guis.
*SHOCK*
I know, LAWL right? *rolls eyes*
Me and all my aunties and cousins went for a meal and it was really fun, so when Suzi and Co asked me to go I didn't wanna be a wet blanket (I'm blaming the large gin and the mai tai I had with dinner). Me, Suz, Jess and Claire met up with Scott, Jonathan, Jennifer and Keira *counts* yeah that's it o_0 jeez I have so many cousins...and they're only the ones of drinking age. Even though I perpetually think of them as about 13 yrs old...
I can't describe how beezar it is to have Claire buy me a shot at the bar. I felt about a hundred years old. Didn't help that there were people in there who were clearly twice my age but even they knew all the songs and dance moves that I was completely ignorant of. I sang along to Bon Jovi and Journey -_- I officially have a mental age of about 53.
It was a good laugh though. Don't worry, I'm not gonna be making a habit of it or anything, but it's pretty much just an average nightclub with incomprehensible music, a variety of interesting smells and sticky substances, and a fair amount of people in clothes that don't fit them rubbing up against other people who are mostly unconscious.
And in typical nightclub fashion, I made a tit of myself not once but twice! Spilled my drink pretty much down Jennifer's back and fell down the stairs *facepalm* I was totally one of the most sober people in there though, just goes to show I should've got myself truly and utterly wasted before even bothering. I'm such a liability.
On another note! Once again I am forced to notice a troubling fact about this town - there is close to zero male talent.
I'm obviously biased when it comes to my cousins, so of course I think they're all gorgeous and I've yet to have anyone disagree with me (I hadn't seen Keira for ages and my god, you've gotta be in good shape to pull off black sequined leggings), but there were a fair number of nice looking girls, wearing very small dresses most of them. Course there were some states (I don't show off my back for a reason, please follow my example), but generally speaking I was impressed.
The guys on the other hand... mostly neds and grubby ones at that. I mean, I know there are nice guys in this town, I used to hang out with some of them (hi guys *waves*) but obviously they've all moved off to greener pastures. I just kept thinking it was such a shame, all these lovely girls like my cousins stuck in this place. I was introduced to one of Jessica's former boyfriends and I think I did a pretty bad job of hiding my amazement.
Yeah, yeah, I'm totally shallow, but they're not just unattractive, they're NEDS. All the girls obviously put a lot of effort into hair and makeup, fake tan and ridiculous shoes, all to have some mentally challenged drunk in jeans and a scabby tshirt breathing down their necks.
Course, maybe they're total bitches and they deserve it but, dude it's so unfair. Is it too much to ask for there to at least be some eye candy??
Anywaaaay... yeah it was funny and the kids are a laugh. Scott's such a poser, and I know there are gonna be some unpleasant pics of me up on someone's beebo or facebook or whatever it is the kids are all doing these days... I did try to duck out of them but they weren't having it - as if my camera phobia isn't bad enough, in amongst that lot I'm like one of those muppet goblins from the Labyrinth ¬_¬
Prince of the Land of STENCH! Blergh.
Oh! And I saw Stevo and Andy! I nearly fell over in shock, talk about blast from the past... and Stevo is still using the same facial expression ^_^
Suzi was pretty tired so I had an excuse to leave early ('early' being 2.30) and got home to face Ben's utter amusement that I'd actually caved and gone where I swore I never would... yup yup, I'll never hear the end of it, I know.
I did have a fun night, but I always have fun when the Dyer clan get together and it warms my heart to see how well the kids all get along together. I don't quite fit in with them obviously, not having much of a social life, being a bit wierd and having spent my 'wildest' years in Glasgow... course, my version of 'wild' is like a cup of tea next to their shot of sambuca. I'm a bit of a novelty really, but I know they make an effort with me and they stick up for me, bless 'em.
It made me look forward to Christmas and New Year even more.
So! Now that my forray into popular social culture has been properly documented, Louisa's post about older man hottie has prompted me to post some pics ^_^
( Picspam cherry pop! )
So there you have it folks, Word Up and a picspam all in one entry.
I'm just livin life on thedge these days...
