big news, not-so-big reaction

So my sister told my mum and step-dad on Friday that she is in a relationship with the guy she's living with. She was fully expecting to be disowned by her dad, seeing as she's 20 and the guy is at least 40. Not to mention she believed that he hates the guy to begin with. But, according to her, it actually went well. So I guess that means the travel plans for Germany and USA are still on, you know, seeing as she survived.

plans

Oh so much to see and do, so little time. And funds. However I am a master budgeter having had to survive off diddly squat for so long as a fulltime student, so my plans should actually start working, yay panda!

2012

• Buy a new second-hand car to replace Turtle
• Pass one subject per semester with a minimum credit grade
• See Jekka Miff and Brad get married
• Go to our 10 year high school reunion
• Properly start my teacup collection
• Continue with my book instead of pushing it aside all the time

2013

• Two weeks in Germany with my sister visiting the lovely AK
• Two weeks in the USA with my sister visiting my best mate Kyle, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Disneyland
• See Lou and Robbie Williams (James) get married
• Finish my book, dammit!

And this is only the preliminary planning, other stuff will inevitably crop up. In the meantime, so many weddings and big travel plans and spending lots of money. How exciting!

The travel plans are the most exciting for me. I don't get to spend nearly as much time with my sister as I'd like, so a month of travelling with her would be wonderful. Not to mention we both love Harry Potter and Disney, and Kyle has already agreed to take us to the theme parks in Florida when we visit him in Texas. Amanda and I both miss AK like crazy, therefore time in Germany with her is a must.

Mind you, the travel plans kinda hinge on whether my sister survives a serious talk with the parentals tomorrow (more on that once the chat is over and done with). She told me Saturday would be a safe day to drop any bombshells seeing as they'll probably be numb after her little confession on Friday. I think one heart attack is enough for my stepdad at his age.

Oooh, I should probably add "updating my blog more often" to my to-do lists. And getting fitter, and possibly getting my dodgy knee looked at...

Stone

I could be made of stone,

Nothing will perturb me.

No stress,

No fear,

No love.

It would be a fine thing,

Not to care or hurt,

To be emotionless and strong.

I could be strong,

But it would be selfish

And I care too much.

So I will feel,

I will be hotblooded,

I will cry.

I will wish I was stone.
