24 Mar 2008 Grax's Easter Holiday 2008

[Misc] Well this week didn't go according to plan, but it's been a good week none the less. I had the week before easter off work. So for me it's been a 8 day long weekend for me. The second half of that time off was spent sleeping, which I'm not too proud off. Y'know when you get the feeling that you've wasted half the day when you wake up at 1:00pm, because in a way you have wasted half a day? But the stuff when I was doing stuff it was pretty enjoyable. And it all started two Friday nights ago.

That Friday evening two main things happened to me; 1) I was taught the art of being able to hear conversation on a noisy dance floor by plugging ones earholes and 2) I got to chatting to a random drunk girl down one of the Oxford roads on the way home. Long story short she wanted some cigarettes, I couldn't help her out then, her 5 friends left her cos they got bored waiting, I took her home, bought her some cheap ciagrettes along the way (the cheapest possible. Let it not be said that I ain't a nice guy), she let me into her house, and she unloaded a bunch of rants about all the negative aspects of her life till daybreak whilst we had Natural Born Killers playing in the background. There was no bedroom action involved during this time but I found it strangely pleasant trying to be her agony aunt for the night, even though technically in all seriousness what the hell could I possibly say or do to make everything better for her. After all, she had a 10 inch kitchen knife in her purse. Well a girl's gotta keep herself safe and all.

In other news I am now officially and uncle and you all shall now refer to me as uncle Grax. For it is written... Right at this moment in time. My nephew was born 9 days earlier than expected (I had booked the week off expecting to see him during the middle of the week) so I went and visited him and my brother on Sunday along with my mum. Let me tell you something; 6 day old babies don't tend to do much. All baby nephew did when I was there was sleep, pull the occasional weird yawny stretch thing, sleep, wake up for a feeding, not really realise what was going on, stuff like that. I guess the major action happens as babies get older.

Mum was super excited about the baby as has been since the moment he was born. She would be squealing with joy proclaiming that he was so cute and so perfect and "He looks just like you and your brother did when you were babies". Every 5 minutes. Well its good to know that he going to grow up a good looking lad, just like his uncle. I tried to hold him and, at first, I didn't wuite get the hang of it cos my nephew was squirming and resisting in my arm, which I was not use to. After a little guidance from my brother my nephew calmed down and was dozing blissfully in my arm. The thing that caught my interest is how my brother seemed to be so good at being a dad, like he knew exactly what he was doing. I guess I imagined that I would be the first to have kids.

Lastly I spent some time catching up with some old friends. It was a mixture of watching DVDs, eating unhealthily, screwing around, and a birthday trip to Alton Towers with my ex girlfriend, her new boyfriend (who didn't really say too much to me, but then I didn't really want to be the hunky third wheel to his and her love-fest of uh.... sexy.... couple.... thingy... thing.... what couples do) and the rest of her crew. It was all good apart from the crappy video thing at Alton Towers not working on the day. And I was so looking forwards to doing some kick ass poses for the camera. It would have been awesome I tell thee.

Ah well, no time to reminisce. I gotta head back to work tomorrow. I wonder if anything got done there...
