It's that time again. The time when everyone expects you to be cheerful because of some holiday that doesn't mean much to you in the first place - except for the fact that it requires spending more time with your family than you are ready to handle. Oh well. So I am being rebellious and actually still enjoying my own company at my blessed hermit's retreat... lol. Surprisingly, my parents haven't even called me yet to inquire when I'm coming - so I guess the sky won't fall on anybody's head if I show up tomorrow.;) Which of course means I won't have to spend the night there, since everybody's working on Monday (insert huge sigh of relief here). Staying most of the day at their place would be too much anyway, as far as I'm concerned - but considering I expected them to insist on my being there for the whole weekend, I guess I should just be glad I got away with tonight. And it feels like stolen time indeed. I'm just so HAPPY to be here by myself, in peace and quiet, with no roaring TV anywhere in hearing range and no forced holiday cheerfulness that my mother so compulsively imposes on everyone. Oh joy...

Yeah. Call me weird. *shrugs*

In other weird news, I am reading the autobiography of Richard Chamberlain. WTF? Well, he's one of the actors I sort of had a mild crush on as a teenager (when I still watched TV back in Poland - and the Polish TV usually showed very old foreign films back then, so most of the actors I had my crushes on were about the age of my parents... lol). So when I joined this online book club that requires you to order at least one book per month (otherwise they will send you the "editor's choice" anyway), and the only book that I thought might be remotely interesting to me in one of their monthly catalogs was Richard Chamberlain's autobiography, I ordered it. *shrugs* ( Read more... )
