Family Gatherings. Having spent most of the day bored out of my skull, todays family gathering was only slightly redeemed by catching the end of Police Academy 4. I guess it's just the age gap which annoys me. My cousins are 15, max, and are OK untill they think they're really cool and original, when infact I think every 15 year old as made thier own Jackass video... My elder relatives, well, I have nothing in common with them, except that some part of my DNA is fairly similar to some of theirs. They seem to forget I am 18 and do not have the faintest clue about Margaret Thatcher, because I was not born then, so asking me what I thought about her, was probably not a good way of involving me in any form of engaging conversation. I'm usually pretty good at getting out of them, I work Saturday and Sunday, and these events are never during the week, so I'm home free. By some terrible co-incidense, I had the weekend off work. Excelent I thought, I can go out with my friends, and endure a well deserved hang over Sunday. Not so as my mother kindly informs me that at 9 this morning we would be treking into Richmond just to meet up with said relatives, which distroyed my plans entirely, as that meant I could not stay at the friends house I had allready organised. Why could you possibly want to have a massive event invloving 20+ family members, and then decide that having one 18 attend, with no-one in thier age group 3 years either side, would be an enjoyable or exhilarating experience. Dammit.
