Funeral is on Friday. Most possibly the last time the whole family will be together in the same place. We have to look tidy cause there'll be a mass picture taken of everyone... The last time that happened was a good five years ago (I think it's then cause next to grandad in the pic is my uncle Steve, and he died when I was in six 2, which was almost three years ago... And -- oh. It could have been almost six years ago actually, because that would have been grandad's 80th - on Christmas day)... Then Saturday the siblings (dad, and his lot) will be sorting out the estate, as in the books and stuff. None of the kiddiwinks will be there (so whilst I feel annoyed that I've been left out, I'm happy to know that my "darling" cousin is also barred, because, even though she's an adult, she is not one of the siblings and she can fuck right off! :D) so they can sort everything out without too much of a head ache.
I just hope to god we can look at the books before they all go.
Serious, grandad's book collection was serious business! So many encyclopedias, new books just been bought, old books that he's had for years, books on stuff he knew loads about anyways, books he didn't know so mcuh about, books you wouldn't think he would have... OMG I'm gonna miss him, and his house. Two, three weeks ago, he asked if I had read any Daphne du Maurier (is that spelt right?), so now I wanna read that. And the Yeats book I started, and the Narnian Chronicles he has all in matching book bindings. I hope dad has the decency to have the books in one place before people grab them all. Just so then people can see how many there were in one building.
It's my sister's birthday tomorrow. I'm giving her money for a haircut (that sounds like so little, but it's actually gonna get dyed and styled too, so it's a good prezzie). Jake's giving her a plush... I think. Yeah. Anyways, I know what I want. This. I Am Not A Paper Cup. Just so then I can Gibbs it up with a big coffee cup that looks like paper, but it isn't! :D
But anyways, I need some sleep (I'm hopefully seeing Mark tomorrow). Hope everyone has a good evening/morning/afternoon/whatever time it is with you.

I think I'm going to slap my Auntie Kate (then give her the biggest hug ever!). She just sent me a cheque for a lot of money. :| I'm not showing off, but fucking hell, it's a lot! I just rang her, she's out, so I'm gonna try again before Superman comes on... :: Dies of gratitude, guilt, shock and 'aah'-ness ::
She spells her name the same way as the glorious KJ :D

How many people actually ordered their own birthday present this year because their dad forgot to order it for them? I've actually had a cry because my dad is a stupid idiot! I told him like a week ago, what I wanted. I showed him what I wanted. Did he order 1 of the two things I wanted? No, he didn't. Now I can't get Mosaic on CD cause he was too stupid to remember that his own daughter is reaching a milestone on Tuesday!
That's one of the only things I wanted (I just ordered Lovespell, god knows when it'll turn up, and god knows if it'll work on the DVD player - cause Region 1 dvds now have some coding which makes it harder to use on region free dvds). That was all I wanted, Lovespell and Mosaic. And can he remember that? No!
:: Cries :: I want rain! Lots of it so then I don't have to have my stupid party!
