Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elf_Ariel" data-source="post: 3247794" data-attributes="member: 34891">You bunch of loonies made up half my life!  Well the better part - not necessarily quite half.  Work took up most of it.  Conveniently though, I am on a weeks leave from work, inadvertantly my Christmas holidays fell at a very appropriate time.  I had hoped to spend a lot of it with you folks, but now that seems so awefully trivial.  No offense meant by that.  I suppose I've lived a very naieve life.  This isn't the first time I've lost someone close, nor will it be the last.  But it's the first time I've had to deal with the fact that someone's death is going to have a lasting impression on my life.  That's cruel to say, that I haven't cared about the rest.  I do, but at least I am not reminded of it on a daily basis.  *sighs*  I re-read my posts, and wonder if it's me writing these at all.  This isn't like me.  I'm normally the one that makes a quip of everything serious.  An aggrivating habit on my behalf I know, but I found being serious such a drag.  Now it's coming naturally!  Oi, there's perhaps something more wrong with me than there will be with him in the long run.  Maybe I have an alternate side that's been waiting to sting me.  Mmmm, either way, I hope that my normal resiliant self  once this mess is finally sorted.  I just despise not knowing.  But, these things take time, in our courts on our side of the world, a very long time, probably more than a year.  What's a girl to do, it's turned upside-down the whole family...when will they go back to normal?  Until they do, I have to be with them.Ohhh hmmm...question: My brother has been calling me, because he doesn't want to go home (he's back in with my parents at the moment and they require him home every night).  He'd rather come stay at my place than face them for whatever reason.  Should I betray his trust and talk to them or shut up and bare it?And, for an attempted quip...I have now got a reason to be a hug miser.  Must hunt for positives in times like these.</blockquote>
