hugs

This is the view my sister gets to see every morning when she wakes up. Me too for the next 2 -3 mornings. :)

It's been such a relaxing stay here - maybe a little too relaxing ;) but it's been really great. Sarah had Mikel over last night and we had a nice dinner all together then afterwards we watched a couple of episodes of Veronica Mars - if you can believe it I had actually forgotten how great the show was! It's so addictive. I love Veronica's character she's so smart and offbeat. It's so sad that I get so addicted to T.V shows. But really it's just V. Mars and Gilmore Girls. Which I sadly missed last night - though Jenn was going to tape it for me.

So last night Mikel was leaving and Sarah and him were saying good-bye and I was in the room - this is kind of funny because I wasn't sure if I should leave them alone or if it would be rude if I just said bye and walked away. This morning he called Sarah and was all worried because he thought maybe he should have given me a hug and that's why I was hanging around. Meanwhile I was just trying to be polite. But it's funny how we worry about things like that. I probably would wonder the same thing. I know sometimes I do wonder if I should have hugged them, or kissed them or whatever. Especially with Linds' family - normally they all just hug me but sometimes we don't and then I worry. That's probably the stupidest thing to worry about though - you know when there's poverty, hunger, homelessness. :P

Actually, funny story, kind of anyway. At Mr. Sami's 50th birthday party Mr. Clark was there (Heather's dad). I'm very close with Heather and Mr. Clark and I have celebrated numerous things together (haha, mostly dinners at the Sami's) Anyhow, he was leaving and went to shake my hand, then kind of looked at me and said "We can do better!" and gave me a hug. It was cute. Then the next night was New Years and I was at Heather's house and we were all hugging because it was midnight and he went to shake my hand again, and then said the same thing laughing. So we hugged :)

My brother doesn't hug us at all. Unless he's drunk. Twice I've gotten good hugs out of him while he's been drinking. Once was my birthday. The other time was kind of an emotional breakdown we both had, we had both been drinking of course. Well the emotional breakdown was kind of him - I had never seen him upset or cry before and he was and he's not a huggy person (at all) and I didn't know what to do because normally if I attempted to hug him he'd push me away. So I hugged him and he just cried, it rips up my heart thinking about it actually. Then we talked until the sun came up. Can't say we ever had done that before or did it again. Sarah and I were watching Friends and we were marvelling over how close Monica and Ross are, like they kiss each other or kind of cuddle. Sarah just kept saying "Can you imagine doing that with Mike?" I really, really can't. Until recently I thought no one touched him - then I met his girlfriend and well they don't stop holding hands or cuddling or being all lovey dovey. As repulsive as it is I'm just glad he's happy.
