i've heard it a million times... "blood is thicker than water.."

we've all got family or at least people that we relate to as family. ever been to one of those family things like your gran's 80th or your uncle's funeral... and the real crap thing is you know nobody, your own flesh asks the same irritating dumb ass questions... so how the kids doing at school? great, my son steals money for tuck and my daughter thinks she the sex symbol for pre primaries around the world. you still working at the same place? aah ya it's hairdressing, if you move you loose clients, so i'll still be there next time we chat (2008) you still live in the same house? like i can afford to move. oooh yes and my all time favourite.. so you haven't met anybody new? to which they always seem to think one of two things, either they know some one really nice or that i'm reaching the age that i should think about resettling and getting remarried... aaaargh! do i look unhappy on my own, coz it's probably the hang over you're seeing!!
so i'm sitting alone in the corner, i have to, there's nothing worse for me than sitting with 4 couples, all happy to spend their lives having dinner parties, braais and watching dvds, it's all these perfect lives that you see in the movies...
please tell me i'm not the only 33yr old out there who enjoys LOUD music... and happy faces around me as much as possible!
