Are we having fun yet.

Ap came home from the school dance.
"It was okay I guess, but the music was just too loud. And the DJ, he was pretty old. And he didn't do anything! He didn't say much, he just ticked us off.
"There was a smoke machine, which puffed a bit of smoke about every half hour, so you couldn't really see the lasers. They just hurt your eyes. It wasn't that good(!)
"I didn't see many people I knew. I guess they didn't bother coming."

I can't understand why!!!

I saw the end of it. Not much music, not much energy, very few lights. Yeah it's the school gym: so do something! Roving spotlights on the silver paper lining of the walls. Big inflatables. And a better DJ.

You do have to wonder, what's it for, coz it didn't come across as much fun for anyone.

I'm sick of living in a daze

backpacking, grumpy, blogs, tired

This is a bit of a grump. Please put up with it.
I've been tired for ages, & I'm sick of it. H has finaly finished her horror project, but for weeks now it has consumed us. We (mostly she) have been working crazy hours at all sorts of times. My own work is there too, & three gorgeous but energetic children, impromptu guests, dance concerts, hayfever, work trips... it's getting to me I think.
And tomorrow I set off to a nearby town for 3 days, because I'm helping Py video his racing team. I should be asleep, not writing this.
Not quite true. I'm finding this quite relaxing; a bit of "me" time, so I'll stay up a bit longer. Read a few people's blogs.
I'm still a bit puzzled by the blog thing. I enjoy meeting people in person. In cyberspace, are people even real? And the relationships are very different; a bit detached? Intimate in a sort of anonymous way. It reminds me of backpacking in Europe. Friendly strangers, who shared such details, then moved on. I like the range of nationalities in Opera (& I have fond memories of Norway - hello Stamsund!), I like the connections - the people are real, by the way! And I like the way ideas float in & out of my head & end up on the screen for me to see later. And for you to see, I hope!
It's got this strange pull, this blog thing. Thanks for reading this.
