Auld Lang Syne... and Chief Iron Jaw!
Fate sometimes is a really funny thing you know! Like this morning, i was chatting with a friend of mine on MSN when i casually asked him if he was in touch with this other mutual buddy of ours. And then he surprises me...not only was he in touch with him, he was chatting with him right then! So he got added to the conversation and began to catch up on old times.
Old friends and old times have this particular knack of bringing back this rather unusual feeling of warmth and fuzziness on the inside. Though sometimes that fuzziness could easily have been last nite's dinner doing the tango with my intestines..!
Either way, it was fantastic to meet up with old friends. Eight years was the last time we met, so you could probably imagine the kind of faded memories we were trying to resurrect! The task made infinitely harder because we were in the middle of our exams and all i had on my mind was grounds for divorce according to the Special Marriage Act. Stupid test!
Then a couple of days ago my sister gives me a very distressing phone call! She yells at me sayin that i have absolutely no shame! I've mentioned my friends in my blogs, i've mentioned Coffee and i've even mentioned my exams! But to her, the biggest insult was mentioning that my mum was my number one fan, when quite obviously she was!!! (ha ha ha sorry vanessa, you asked for it!)
You see my dear sister got herself braces. Which has lead me to give her another obnoxious nickname. You see the day she got her braces, i began to think of how I could continue to establish my dominence over her as an older brother, with another horrible little nickname. So i hit upon the fabulous "Chief Iron Jaw!" she wasn't amused, infact she was absolutely thrilled! She thought it made her sound tough! How that one had backfired on me!To make things infinitely worse for me, after my master plan of renaming her did a U Turn, my sis decided that it was time she consolidated on her position of power. So now, she insists that i call her Chief!!! Just Chief, she's allowing me to forego the indignity of having to add the "Iron Jaw" bit because she thinks i helped her regain her Coolth! Hows that for rubbing salt in my wounds!
Anyhow, i must be wrapping up. I have a jam session happening at my house in an hour! More on that later.
Cheers to the world that takes the time of to read this stuff! To the rest, well, atleast you're not wasting your time on me!!
