Today I had the best day I’ve had in a while. Enjoying yourself in the company of others sort of takes a back seat when you’re busy with exams and catching up with work you should have done earlier .

Friday my day was not so good, starting with an exam that didn’t really go according to plan, and ending with what shall henceforth be known as the Friday Fiasco. The Friday Fiasco has been on my mind since it happened, and it was nice to get away from it today .

I spent the day with my aunt, uncle, insanely cute cousin, and their cat, who doesn’t really seem to like me all that much. When I arrived we had some lunch and I helped my cousin with the gift I bought her (a wooden elephant she could paint and put together) and after lunch we went to a playground where I watched my aunt and uncle throw snowballs at each other, as well as my aunt being chased by my cousin, who would try to throw snowballs at her.

Before dinner the three grown ups sat on the couch, and my cousin sat/hung on my lap, which was really cute and really nice. We watched Mr. Bean’s holiday, which I hadn’t seen before, but now really like. My cousin and I also managed to persuade my uncle to let us watch a Winnie The Pooh movie. I found out later why he wasn’t enthusiastic at first; my cousin had seen the movie so often she could say all the lines and sing all the songs almost word perfect.

After dinner when I was on the way home I had the only down point of the day, although it was a very large down point. You see, I spent the 2 hour long train ride back to my city in a train which couldn’t have been warmer than 10 degrees Celsius! It seriously made my feet hurt and I had to buy a hot chocolate to get warm again.

That was the only damper on my day though, because other than that it was pretty awesome! Everybody needs a cute 4-year-old cousin

I thought it would be interesting to share a but of my writing with you today. This is a piece I wrote a little over a year ago for a contest on a website. Unfortunately, I never found out who won. Oh well. It’s a little shorter than a hundred words according to MS Word, and to be honest, I’m still not sure what I think about it. Weird, huh?

Whatever she once wanted, whatever she once needed, she didn’t want or need it any more. All she wanted was a kiss.

His lips were so close, she could almost feel them. She wondered how they would feel on hers as she watched him talk.

What he was saying was not important, she wasn’t paying attention anyway, she just watched his lips move. They were perfect. Watching them move was perfect.

She leaned in closer to him, pretending she couldn’t hear.

He stopped talking. She mustered all of her courage, and took a chance.

She kissed him.

Over the past few weeks our cat has been sleeping in my room. Mostly she’s been sleeping on my top bunk, or on my mouse arm, or on the end of my bed. Recently she’s taking to sleeping on top of me. Like so:

That there in the back of those incredibly grainy pictures (used my laptop webcam) is me. I’m trying to look at my computer screen, and breathe at the same time, which is sort of impossible, since the cat was right in my face.
She’s done it again, by the way. She came to sit next to me on my bed, and then stared at my breasts until I made room for her to lie on them.
