I know I shouldn't  be thinking about it and be enjoying the time we're having. But I'm really gonna have trouble saying goodbye again. Especially since mom's going away with them.

She really is a fabulously awesome little kid and I don't care if I'm boring people with my Emma worship.

Every time she does something cute or says something, I melt inside. I want to give her anything she asks for. She's a little ray of light.

I am so warm I can't breathe. It's getting really uncomfortable and nothing is making me feel better.

Off to bed.

People are funny.
If you're going to go into a chat room and complain about the crapness of said chat room...the solution is simple. Leave the goddamn chat room and quit hogging my screen with how bored you are and how sick you are of the topic of discussion. In short: Fuck off!...Yes, yes, ignore is there for a reason and generally I use it but complaining about a room you're in voluntarily seems like such a waste of energy.

Also, just briefly, I'm not fake in chat, 'fake' implies that I'm pretending to be something I'm not. I actually am a 24 yr old woman with social anxiety issues, an evil sense of sarcasm and a strange sense of whimsy (it's my new fave word). I'm not being fake, I'm simply being a different version of myself on screen than I am IRL. I have many facets, as do most people, and chat/internet in general is my outlet for one of those facets. So, um yeh, fuck off and die douchebag

So, me, Clare & Emma were in Next today (clothing store) and Emma picks up a pair of red stiletto heels, sits on the floor, takes her own shoes off and proceeds to put these very scary shoes on her feet. Very funny.

Getting my hair chopped off tomorrow, scary!

Night

Emma day 1
So they arrived. Their flight was 2 hours late and Clare's dad was picking them up and bringing them here so he had to hang around the airport for a while. But anyway, Clare brought Emma up the stairs and I met them and Clare pointed to me and said 'who's that?' and Emma smiled and said 'Auntie Ali!' And pointed to Granny and said 'who's that?' 'Granny!' and went running into the arms of Granny...I swear my very emotionless somewhat heartless mother was almost in tears at being greeted that way. It's all well and good to know you're Granny & Auntie Ali and to hear her say it over the phone but to hear her say it "live" is really amazing.

We went into the house and Emma (having had only 4 hours sleep the whole journey over here) immediately ran for the toy box that we'd filled for her. Pulled everything out and played very happily. I absolutely loved when she'd pick something up that needed to be taken out of the packaging or pushed to work and she'd say 'Auntie Ali do it'. I think it's that feeling that she knows I'm Auntie Ali that makes me a tad bit emotional. When you go through life feeling forgettable and get overable it's nice that a not even 2 year old recognises me, remembers me and wants me to play games with her.

Got lots of cuddles and giggles and noticing the difference in her from November. I was beginning to feel like I didn't really have a niece, y'know that abstract feeling you get when someone's far away.

I've already taken some pictures but I'll probably post them all in one fell swoop later on.

wow, the universe really knows how to mess with me.
So, I was out tonight, for a friend's birthday. A night out I was nervous about, but ended up having fun. I actually felt pretty, something that does not happen often. I never feel attractive.
This feeling of attractiveness was heightened when I was walking down the street after the evening was over and some really random guy called me sexy. And not in a 'I'm kidding' kinda way, that so often is the case -I'm a big girl...people tend not to find me attractive-

I was feeling pretty good about myself for a change. Until I get home, pop into chat for a quick peek and some random instant messages me and proceeds to comment on my display pic, a pic I happened to think wasn't so bad. So now I'm back to feeling crap about myself. In the space of three hours.

I know, some random idiot whom I've never met should not make me feel bad about myself. But it seems to be a pretty easy thing to achieve.

But I'm going to focus on the good time I had tonight, seeing friends I haven't seen in a while, being proud of myself for going out by myself and ordering drinks at the bar, which I never do -or at least haven't since I went crazy and stopped talking to people- yes, I did good.

And besides, who needs to feel attractive?
