Real life stuff...

Leaving on vacation tomorrow morning for a week or two. My parents planned for two, but they'll get bored and come back early, I bet. Personally I planned on a week, since while I love the beach and taking walk and stuff, I have sucky stamina and I can't do that all day for fourteen days. All the new books I have are ebooks and I have no laptop. I'm going to be so bored. Woe and misery and all that jazz.

... Well, I planned on one week before I heard that my oh so delightful grandmother is coming with us. As in the several hours car trip will be done with her sharing the backseat with me ( NO ESCAPE D: ), she'll stay in our caravan, boss around my mother, etcetera. And there are no other family members to shove her at this time around.

*braces self for "when are you getting married and giving me great-grandchildren", "blahblah if I were you", "discreet" enquiries about whether I'm actually a lesbian, and polite, cultured, disdainful (SO much better than hateful) racism*

Yeah, if I'm back here in three days, don't be too surprised.


And when my parents come back, we're moving to the new apartment. Nuuuu. T^T Oh well, THAT I'll survive.




And to compensate for my whining, I posted the teamwork chapter on ffnet. But thanks to the superawesome [livejournal.com profile] proanon I managed to rewrite the latest Naruto POV so that it doesn't suck quite as much (though it's still, hm, I don't know, no issues in itself but I'm not sure about how well it meshes with the following chapter BUT I CAN REWRITE THAT LATER STOP WHINING I SAID OMG >:( ) So, yeah, latest Naruto POV scene if you want to take a look. It's nothing hugely important to the plot, but I smoothed out some snags and added some Naruto fretting about whether Sasuke liiiikes him and stuff. XD;;

Try to have some fun on your vacation, and don't let your grandmother get to you. If nothing else, just keep counting the days until you can get away. ^^

D: noooo don't do that, it just makes you angsty and whiny, and no fun to be around, which gets your parents mad at you, which makes you sulk more, etc. It's a vicious cycle.

I used to have relatives like that. Technically I still do. But when I called my cousin a bitch to her face she took the hint. I don't really see that side of my family anymore. Wonder why. I just don't have patience for the people I don't like, what can I say.

You have my sympathies. My mother finally gave up the hints for grandchildren a couple years ago. I guess all it took was an idiot President getting us into every war he could think of, a good hard look at the state of the world, and acknowledgment that the mid-30s is not a good age to have a first baby.

My saying that I cannot abide children for twenty years may have worn her down some, maybe, she quit the "but it's different when they're your own!" thing at least.
