I woke up at 12 in the afternoon as usual to my 3am sleeping habits. Nine hours would seem healthy no?
Like promised I got myself ready to go pick Kathleen up after work only to hear the younger brother next door fiddling with nothing. Mother bear has cut the circuits in his room so no television or computer for him. The poor fool lmao. I felt slightly bad for the fellow so I invited him to come to Parramatta with me. As soon as lunch was over, I would've included lunch in the itinerary but it was already provided.
To some degree I think it's important not to severe the links between younger siblings. This is especially important for people like me where a generation gap acts as an obstacle between the process of understanding younger siblings. Take example my conversation with my brother at one point:
Edward : Did I tell you about the time I wrestled Franklin?
Edwina : No...
Edward : Well do you want to hear about it?
Edwina : No...
Can I be blamed that the only wrestling I'm interested in is professional wrestling? So I walked with my brother today and I learnt alot. Nothing direct but more about him and his ideology. I didn't so much as approach it ebulliently like Dr. Somebody from Pygmalion and his little dialect guinea pig. (What I'm expected to remember names now? :O)
Today Edward and I went to EB Games because the boy wanted to find a game. If I remember correctly it was LOTR: Rise of the Witch King. EB failed us so we headed off to Toys 'R' Us, realising that if EB didn't have it the likelihood of Toys R' Us having it was far less. Afterwards we headed off to Borders with an hour to spare before Kathleen finished work. I read the illustrated version of the Great Gatsby and Edward read a Family Guy comic. The comic I was reading was interesting, it allowed me to further appreciate the novel itself because the attributes of the characters were even more so highlighted by drawings. I'm glad that Edward is reading a Family Guy comic as opposed to I don't know a South Park comic but I'm also slightly worried. Isn't it all a bit advanced for Edward? Can he really appreciate the humour behind Family Guy without getting too influenced by the blatant crudeness of it all. It's like Summer Heights High all the kids watch it just like their teenager older siblings do. However, we laugh at different things. I laugh at how closely Chris Liley exploits contemporary human nature whilst Edward laughs because of Jonah's ubiquitous phallic desicration (can't spell). Isn't it all a bit much for his impressionable mind? I tried explaining parody to him today and I had to refer to Rove McManus, doesn't that kind of say something. That the only route in which younger generations develop a sense of humour is a bit narrow? They all have to experience some rather tasteless attempts at entertainment before they get to the good stuff?
After Borders we realised we were hungry again so with the money Mum left us and the left over wage I had I bought us sushi. Edward had a California roll which I can't understand since that's FISH OVARIES that his consuming whilst I bought a Chicken Katsu roll. Tasty enough. Amy brought up my maternal habits again on the 2nd of Jan lmao and I realised I probably am. Edward made a mess as usual and I had napkins saved on from previous eating expeditions handy. We then had ice cream where we witnessed a bout between opponents of ignorance. A man was blowing his whistle off at this woman for displaying her scorn at him for leaning over and taking a straw from the lid of the straw dispenser instead of the bottom like the rest of society does. It's rude to impose someone's personal bubble like he did but it's also rude to be questioning someone's motives. If he wasn't comfortable with the standards of a straw that has been aired about for a couple of hours then let him finger his grubby hands with the mass of straws. Then again I practically contradicted his actions seeing as putting his hands in from the top is practically allowing later patrons who use the straws to be confronted with the 'dirty straw' issue just as he had been. Bravo mankind.
McDonalds do receive alot of interesting strangers according to the manager (from whom I so happened to overhear from) and from my first hand witnessing, an Asian man makes his daily rounds to sing to all the stores in the food court. Wow. I admire our acceptance of this behaviour but it's only a majority which means there's always a minority standing there with their condescending, disgusted looks on their face as they are faced with a situation that deviates from the norm to them.
I'm talking about nothing so let's stop. Afterwards met up with Kathleen. A change in behaviour was noted in Edward with Kathleen around, he was alot more ostentatious, scrap that he was alot more EMBARASSING. The peculiar wheel in his behaviour was suddenly rolling alot more than usual.
I remember a talk with Edward where he asked me if our parents were getting divorced. I was stunned as that was the first I ever heard of it. So I tried probing him for more information but he mumbled on about nothing and I realised that the incoherence of everything he said was probably my fault. Our lack of daily communication has resulted in a decline in understanding and moreover trust. I haven't heard about divorces since, I don't think my parents are divorcing. They're far too old-school and conventional to file a divorce. They would just work around it and stand each other for the rest of their lives. However everyday I'm confronted with the fact that divorce really exists that it isn't sheerly limited to havoc-wreaked families with rapist fathers, junkie children and a hooker mother. 'Normal' families, families I know of are segregated by divorce and wow, their families aren't all that different to mine. We exist in the same.. ring.
Walked home and afterwards we opened myself a new neopets account and we watched a couple episodes of Avatar. I finished 107 hurrah ! :p
Lmao thanks for the eighth dayer Kathleen. Her hair is gangster-long now lmao. Look it's the last air-bender Fang and his slut of a girlfriend Edtara ! :p Ah. Ooh earth-bending leema !
