Happiness
I actually feel weird posting something happy on this page, but oh well. By the way, names have been changed for their protection.
You know all those cheesy tv shows where they get people who aren't so good looking and have low self esteem and give them a makeover? You know how they always come back to them a few weeks later and they ramble on about how much their new look has affected the way they live and made them happier and more confident? Yeah? Keep that in mind.
So, yesterday was boxing day, and my family and the Gulp family and a few others have this tradition of having a boxing day party. Basically there a families and friends and alcohol and darts and smokes. Breathing in the air there pretty much shortens your life by 20 years.
THis year, it was particularily loud with Thunderstrucks blaring through the speakers and veryone laughing and yelling and whatnot. They were also designing tattoos and discussing rugby and guitar. I saw Dad Gulp giving his fourteen year old son Son Gulp a bottle of Steinlagar. Beer. Which is illegal. But unfortunately for me, I HAVE to go to these parties. At first I didn't think it was that bad, but then Son went for another. And another. After the fourth he was well and truly drunk. He was stumbling and falling and trying to pick up his sisters whore friend, Molly. When Mollys boyfriend asked him why, he said "I love her" in a very groaning, stretched voice. Then Mollys boyfriend said "Fair enough." But thats not the point. Just wanted to give you an idea of what the parties are like.
There us also this other tradition, where somebody goes home from these parties with a new hairstyle. I remember one year all the boys shaved bits of their hair and got mohawks XD And this year it was me. They died my hair blue. With permanent dye.
And I love it! Those cheesy shows are pretty true, it does give you a new vouch of confidence. I actually feel like myself, like this is what I'm supposed to look like. It really helps me express myself, and I feel pretty! It's really cool. So yeah. I just felt like rambling....... Ta da!
