In the still darkness
May. 1st, 2005 11:53 pmBleh, so stuffy right now. No air is moving, and even though it's now May, it's still warm. Humid. A storm swept through a couple of hours ago, it helped move the air a bit with the heavy rain, but now...
Or I may be a bit sensitive, my nose-throat feels like I've got warm cotton candy in there. Enough to be annoying, not enough for me to be sick. And it's the beginning of the week too, not the end, so I can pad out the sick days if needed.
Hmmm, just reading something talking about children and what age they should be let into "higher" restaurants. It's making me think about a couple of dos from my past - child me would've loved being left at home, instead of being forced to leave my books behind and be deathly bored. Wow, I was antisocial even then. ;)
And it wasn't just the being treated as a child/adult thing. One time I'm thinking of was meeting up with rellies in the area about... 93/94. I tried to bring a book along (I think I was reading Disclosure at the time) but was told not to (while my cousins got to read). I was subsequently bored stupid. Yay. :borg: Why was I brought up to not run amok? ;) Flashforward a couple of years, the summer between graduation and TAFE, a big do for more distant rellie: and I have to leave my book (one of the Invasion! series) in the car and am relegated to the kids table. Hooray. :borg: Because, just having left high school (or, as I called it, HELL) I had soooo much in common with kids I was only related to by several removes.
Oh, I found a happy fun headline I copied a while back (from late February, from my entries then) - "Welfare reforms 'not punishment'" Wow, was I right to be cynical in view of Friday's news, or what?
