My Dad & Ghosties & Pocket Morning Weekly Q&A! | unseenblossom's Blog

My sister's going on holiday for a week today.

Apparently (I say apparently because she never tells me anything ¬_¬;;) she was planning on driving a 4 hour journey herself (by the way she's only just passed her test; about 2 weeks ago). She's going with her boyfriend's family (and the boyfriend of course ^_~) and it would be a bit squished in just one car so she's was going to take hers as well (with her bf going in her car too). Now last night my dad (after a few drinks) goes to bed then gets up again and starts telling her why this is a bad idea (she has never driven a long journey by herself yet i.e. no adults in the car with her, there's no one going with her that is insured to drive her car other than herself so no one can take over if she's really tired, etc. etc.), now I had no problem with what he was saying, in fact I totally agree, he was saying all of this because he's worried about her and doesn't want something terrible to happen to his daughter (neither do I >.< *is paranoid every time she drives alone*), but I did have a problem with how he was saying it. He was very aggressive and in-your-face about it all, very agitated that none of this had been discussed before. I know for a fact that this was because he had had a few too many drinks. He was so in-your-face that he made her cry. I tried to comfort her that he was only looking out for her and wants her to be safe.

Now I get it, he was worried about his daughter and needed to know what she was going to do on this long drive blah blah blah, but could he not have brought all this up earlier (when he was sober). It was the night before she was leaving.

Grrr! You know what, I don't care. I just don't like it when he drinks. I have to tread on egg shells around him after he's had alcohol. The strangest things can set him off. Like the other night I was going out the next day and so wanted to know if he was going out too so I knew if anyone would be home. I ask him if he's going out the next day all the time, always in the evening, but that night, for some reason, he got angry about it and really defensive. In the end he said that it was none of my business and refused to tell me if he was going out. I don't think it was an unreasonable question. I asked it in a nice way. He has to know if I'm going out so why can't he tell me if he's going out (we're talking about the daytime here not evening. I will find out anyway the next day because he'll either be there or won't so why not just answer the question?).

Dad is the only person I can actually have interesting conversations with (we talk about science, time, space, God, life after death, dreams, riddles, how things work like a kettle or something, anything really, mainly me just asking him questions or talking about theories and whatnot ^_^) no one else wants to talk about that kind of stuff with me. But when he's had some drinks I can never tell what kind of mood he's in so never know if he'll snap at me or actually talk to me.

It's so annoying!! >.<

So I'm angry (or just confused, I'm not sure) but I'm also kind of happy.

Now, I warn you now this next bit might sound weird to you if you don't believe in it or whatever, but it's my blog so I'll write what I damn well please thank you very much! ^_~

I saw a ghost again!! ^__^

I haven't properly seen one in agesssss and was worried that I'd never see one again, but when I went to feed my guinea pigs I was about to walk out of my bedroom door and I saw a hand outside in the hall. It was reaching out. I only saw the hand because the door was in the way, but I was so happy...and scared because I'd just finished watching a horror movie about a ghost. ¬_¬; but mainly happy! My guinea pigs went frantic too and ran to the other end of their cage a few seconds later but I don't think that was the ghost, I think that was just coz I stood still for ages and then moved, scaring them.

^____^

I'm happy! I spoke to her (I think it was a her, hard to tell from just a hand) for a while. She didn't speak back; I've never heard a ghost before.

Anyway I think there was also one in my room two nights back, but I wasn't sure so I'm glad I properly saw one today.

If you don't believe in ghosts then just be happy that I'm happy. ^_~

Okay time for Pocket Morning Weekly (or not so weekly for me!) Q&A!!!!

Question: What's the first thing you do when you return home after a concert?

[NOTE: Okay I know it says concert, but for me let's pretend it says holiday* shall we?]

Answer: I take my bags upstairs and put them in my room, then I make something to eat and have a drink.

*Holiday=Vacation for you Americans ^_~
