Great Times @ MindSay

I was reading some newly coined words submitted for a Washington Post contest and one struck me..... 

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

I don't know how many times I've come across that sarchasm.   It's a few awkward seconds of confusion.   Have I offended them?  Was it not funny?   Did they even hear what I said?  oh.... they just didn't realize I was only being sarcastic. 

I am finding that having a similar sense of humor is a must in a relationship.   maybe it's me?  it could be that my sense of humor is a bit left of center.   

So I had a great time in Australia. I spent some great quality time with my nieces and nephews. I am so glad I was able to go back to see Holly.... she is sooo cute. I have a feeling she is going to be quite a character as she gets older. She makes the funniest grunting noises, the biggest farts, and when  you touch her chin she sticks her tongue out. I swear she smiled at me a few times too. She has been blessed with the 3 craziest cousins as well. I love my family. Oo, I got to watch Jordan, Jamie and Jake all play netball on the Saturday before I left. They were the 3 best players in the team to be sure. Obviously take after their Aunty! (certainly not their mother on the netball court, who was a complete spaz).

 

I ate so much yummy food at home, particularly on Sunday night when I had the most delicious lamb roast ever... complete with honey carrots, cauliflower cheese, baked potatoes and gravy... mmmm and sticky date pudding for dessert. Mmm. Mmmmm. MMMMMMMM. I brought some lamb ribs back to Japan for B to have for dinner, and he was really happy about that until I attempted to cook them.... I've never cooked lamb ribs before and didn't do the greatest job of it.

 

I've come back to Japan and the rainy season is officially over. It has been stinking hot all week... and I'm loving it. I have no classes now so I have loads of time to do my own things around the school, the highlight this week being getting the key to the school pool and flopping around in there for an hour each day. Beautiful!

 

I had been feeling a bit down about Japan before going back to Aus, but I think going back there and getting a quick recharge was the perfect remedy... seeing my mates and talking through a few of my grievances really helped... there really is nothing like an alcohol fuelled bitching session. I think I have got a bit of my groove back, and I'm looking forward to meeting a few of the new JETs that are going to arrive in town in the next couple of weeks; rather than feeling all depressed about the people that are leaving. Go me!

 

I have a nice ice cold beer in my hand now, and the aircon cranking in the other room. Probably B and I are going to go bowling together tonight. We have been on a series of "dates" this week. We saw Harry Potter and Die Hard 4 at the movies. I really really loved Die Hard 4. Yippi-kay-yay, mother f*ckers!

 

Theres a big festival in Kobe tomorrow night apparently, so I am probably going to go there.... B and Ryan are recording some new stuff during the day, so I might get out my old paddling pool, fill it up, and spend the day relaxing in there.

 

Ohh, I also got a new laptop whilst I was home. So I am the proud owner of a Sony Vaio that actually works every time I turn it on. It's like a Christmas in July Miracle!

So i'm sitting here burning cd's of all this downloaded music and thinking of all the people that the music makes me think of. I'm one of those people that has a song for every person, or a song for every occasion. So i'm making cd's with these songs on them and reminicing over great times and horrible times and times that i never want to forget. Does anyone else do this? I've got entire cd's full of music that can make me cry and laugh and sob and tear up and giggle and all those emotions that make you go "AWWWWWWWWW" deep down inside. Thats one of the ways i let myself know i'm still alive.

Well it was fucking awesome!!!! Great times I tell you, Great times.

Well for starters, Hannah was DRUNK! There were probaly about 30, underwood, washburn, and turtle lake ppl at my friends house. Ed and I tried to out drink eachother with shots of vodka, and i won!!! I had 8 and Eddy had like 5 or 6, and he was gone! I didnt feel much....yet. Yeah it hit me pretty hard!! I almost fell over! Duane had to take me outside for some fresh air. So we sat outside, and then i got sick so duane took me home. I was in bed asleep, at midnight.

 

Well that was my kick ass weekend!!!
