Moan, whinge, moan!
Published on June 28, 2004 By Sally jacobs In Home & Family
Well birthday weekend is over, and I promised a run down of what went on didn't I, I'd like to say that it will probably be a very exciting read, but I'm sure it will just turn into one long whinge. I am currently snuggled under my duvet, sneezing and shivering and looking out of my window at the sun, wishing I could escape outside, instead of putting up with my family, grrr! Where to start, Saturday night was great, went out with all my friends, had some shots and cocktails, and vodkaaaaaa, mmmmm! Then went to dance my arse off in the club, found some great r'n'b music, and it was so much fun. My friends were determined that I would have a good night, and I did, it was a really wicked night. Though i could go on my usual moan about men who can't keep their hands to themeselves but I won't. Though on more than one occasion men asked me if they could take me home with them, do they seriously expect me to say, yes, of course you can. Or maybe they just expect me to lie down right there with my legs up in the air, grrr men!

My family are a complicated bunch to say the least it's currently the day after my birthday and so far I haven't had presents from my parents or my eldest sister, I didn't even see my eldest sister yesterday in fact. Hmm, not that I'm bothered about presents, i'm at the age now where anything i want i can pretty much buy it myself, but the thought would have been nice. Since I was about fifteen or sixteen I've avoided my fmily like the plague on my birthdays, as they usually try to start some awful argument that upsets me for the rest of my birthday. Yesterday my Mum started about my eldest sister. Now before I even tell this story I know you're going to think I'm an awful person, but I'm sticking to my guns on this one. Me and my eldest sister have never got on, we have no wish to be in the same company as each other, we dislike each other immensely and we're both happy living like the other does not exist. Not a nice way for sisters to be, I totally agree. I've tried with her for many years, I've put up with her stealing money off us, hitting my Mum, smashing the house up, bringing guy after guy back with her who she had no idea who they are, I've put up with loads, and I've reached the point where my life is just happier not having her in it, harsh but true. My Mum however is hell bent on getting us together and getting on. I can see her reasoning, she wants her children to get along, but the more she tries to push us together the more we hate each other. I didn't invite her out for my birthday, I know not nice, but i didn't want her their, my friends didn't and I haven't seen her for about a month, except when I got a phone call asking for money, and there was no, how are you or anything like that, as soon as she didn't get what she wanted she just put the phone down. So the day of my birthday my mum comes to me, I'm still hungover in bed, and she says to me, if you're going out today then i think you should include your sister in it. HA! I'm going to a barbie that friends have organized for my birthday and it's their house I can't just invite her there. So I inform my Mum (who hasn't even wished me happy bday yet) and she tells me how evil and nasty I am. So I phone my sister and say I'll go and see her for a bit before i go to this barbie, no answer on her phone, so I leave a message, she doesn't bother getting back to me until 9pm that night, where she says she's had a busy day, and then goes on about how poop her life is, hmm, no wishing me happy bday there then. So I've got to see her one day this week, yay funky chicken!

As for Kermit, hmm, I don't think i should even talk about this subject, hmm, this really is turning in to one long whinge, apologies folks, I just feel yucky, maybe it's the realisation that I'm old, and my next big birthday is 30 (scary!). Kermits been acting odd to say the least, he does't want to talk to me it would appear, he basically ignored me on my birthday, nice huh. I really don't know where that is going, I think he's made a decision but forgot to tell me about it, probably hoping i will just disappear, who knows maybe I will. I just wish he'd talk to me. I actually feel better having got all this out of my system, maybe I'm on the road to recovery. Hope you all had a wicked weekend xxxxx

hmmm i can't help u out with kermit im afraid, men confuse the bejesus outta me too...maybe he's just been busy..im sure he'll catch up!!

The first part of your birthday (clubbing!) sounded awesome, i think it's always way better to spend birthdays with friends rather than family, family feels like you have to do it, but with friends you actually chose to hang out with these people. so of course you're gonna have a good time! that's just me though.. im not particularly family orientated. Your sister sounds like she's really unhappy, but thats no excuse for her to make your life a misery. it would be a shame to cut her out of your life, but i think you need to be selfish for once and do what makes you happy! it's ur life not hers, or your mom's.

i don't mind ur nosiness, im equally nosey! can't u tell?? and i like that ur so romantic, i think its v. sweet, im quite romantic myself..and i have the exact same problem with shoes!! there the main reason i have no money!I think Dave'll pull out of the wedding anyway, he looks like he's about to snap to be honest. Pregancies..k, my stepmom is due before christmas i think and my mom's not till like march next year. Hugh the perv has moved out so she has that hideous big house all to herself, but the divorce'll take ages to finalise because he doesn't want to get divorced and won't sign anything. so it's probably gonna b very messy..Holden is good, he says he like school..and he should be able to start college in the fall maybes...I'm mad at my dad, but oh well, what else is new?

Thanks for catching up!! chat soon....

love Dyl xxx

By the way Sally - Happy Birthday

Just hope you don't reach the age or stage where you loath to see those two words neighbouring each other. As far as having the damn things, last year i decided against having them all together. My age will change when my skin does or when the stupidity that's taken up residence in my brain realises it's not an exclusive address and it has to share with a whole plethora of other maladies.

Thank you Mugz you're so nice!

She knows about football! and she likes dancing!!! and she has a kind heart!!!!


Ha, if you asked him, I'm sure he would name none of the above as reasons for liking me, the football is more of a turn off in fact!

Thanks Marco! I'm already not a birthday person, and now it's just going to get worse, I've passed 21, what birthday is there exactly to look forward to? Ahhh at least I'm not ALMOST 30, no dig intended, hehe!

Hmmm, Kermit, no shit are you busy, hmmm, yes hmmmmm, hehe! I know you're going to say high maintanance, but I can't help liking you, happy with the way things are, ok...I shall try

tampon is just a random word. Although it appeared I was calling you one.

I wasn't.

You so understood every single thing I said though, and you know it! Tampon? Glad to know you wasn't calling it me! It's weird you calling me Sally, hmm....
