The Eternal Optimist

 
Okay, so today I find that I'm having such strong cravings for alcohol. Specifically clear alcohol. I blame this on the fact that this is the time of year when I would get together with friends and we would drink martinis and stuff like that. I really wouldn't mind a good martini Nat style right now. Or some Tequila (it makes me happy).

 
Okay here's my first post. So I only just opened up this blogspot and earlier today I put one of my rare posts at Diaryland.com but seeing as everyone else I know decided that Blogspots are good, I decided that I thoguht it was good too. So the point of that is that I'm going to put my recent post from Diaryland here. It is as follows,

Well, as I usually start my entries, it's been a long time since my last entry. This one's actually sort of belated, I meant to write it a while ago. Had half of it planned in my head but I never got around to it.
Anyways, about 2 weeks ago my Granparents had their 56th wedding anniversary. (I think it was 56. It was 50 something anyway.)Mum and I went with my Nana to visit Grandpa at the home. Nana took along an old photo album and she was showing him the pictures. Some of them were before they got married and some were of the wedding. She started by showing him one of his parents. As soon as she asked him who they were he smiled. "My parents" he answered. Nana went through all the other photos, her parents, the wedding. Her and Grandpa at a social gathering when they were young. He had big ears. :) He was really happy looking at the photos. Nana was happy too. Maybe because she was seeing a little of the old Grandpa. But it made me think. It is really quite important that when you decide to share your life with someone you've REALLY got to make sure that it's the right person. Someday when you are older it's going to mean more than you can imagine to have someone to talk about the old days with. Someone who was there for it. It doesn't neccesarily need to be the person you marry. It's just important that you have someone (or more than one) who you can talk with a good friend who's been there through it all. I could see in Nanas' eyes that she really does love Grandpa. For all the complaining she used to do about everything. To think that they decided together to come to Tauranga and build a house. Not to mention starting a family togather. It just seems to me that people take this kind of thing for granted these days. People decide that they're going to get married have kids etc. But then a few years into it or even 20 or 30 years in they decide that maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Then sure they've got their kids who they love dearly, but so many couples sour and fight their way through a divorce blaming each other for things done years past. Then those memories are soured and those people no longer have even the happy memories to reminice about, even alone. Sure some people don't have much choice, they get into bad places with bad people, or are forced into them, but if you have the choice make sure you make the right one. Because one day when you do reach that point, you are going to want somebody who can understand and remember what it was like. They can remember just how good you looked in that green check dress that you made, at the neighbours wedding.
I also realised that my Nana used to look a lot like I do, and my cousin Lyndsay has her front teeth.

Oh and last night I had an interesting dream. Don't worry it's not dirty.
Okay so there was me and a guy, and it started off with us being all sweet and romantic then went on to sexy romantic but just when any dirty bits would have happened it cut. To the next scene (I can't remember what happened there it was some kind of meeting or cult.) just like a movie. Which was a little disappointing actually because the guy was Vin Diesel. I've never had a thing for that guy, but he hugs really nice. Yeah I know that sounds bad. "You were thinking about the hugging!?" but it was really nice. Of course he's really hot too. But that's beside the point.
