I have been accepte don a volunteer scheme at The Lowry Theater which is good. I had my intital training yetserday which largly consisted of fire training and how best to deal with people with visual impairment.
Twas an interesting day.
I was quite suprised though, because i expected to meet lots of people my age. However, almost all (but 3) of the 26 newbies were middle aged. Not a bad thing as such, but as I said, not what I was expecting. I will repeat though, this is not a bad thing. Just not what i was expecting. Not a bad thing. Okay, i have said this enough now.
I went up to see and support my mum in a belly dancing show on Saturday. This was a wicked experience, but quite strange for the tables to be turned, and for me to be the one in the audience whilst my mum was up on stage. I was overcome with pride, she was marvellous and it was super to see her up there. I know how she used to feel seeing me perform, its nerve wracking, but the admiration I felt was nothing ever experienced.
One thing though, on eof my mum's friends (who was also performing as part of the belly dancing troupe) brought her young daughter with her. I'm not sure how old or how young she was. I have no idea and i didn't ask, because I couldn't be bothered. anyway iIdon't know what to say kids. I literally haven't had any experience being around kids and I have no clue what so ever what they like/dislike/do. Even if i did know the girls age I doubt that would have been any clue as to what she liked to discuss.
I hate small talk anyway, but with kids, its like 120 worse cos you know that theres no way that you can have a serious or interesting discussion with them, its all stupid crap. Sorry, but i just hate small talk, and with kids thats all you get, i just can't be bothered. Then I felt bad though cos I thought as an adult i should be able to spark conversation with this child. I didn't though. Oh well.
I don't think I can have kids, this is may be partly why I can't and don't relate to them.
I suppose it my subconcious way of pretending I hate them. Then i don't feel sad for not being able to have them. Or maybe they just are boring.
So I apparently hate old people and kids. Oh Noes.
One of which I once was & one of which I shall become. Unless I become a vampire, which would be awesome.
I am so so so very proud of one of my good friends, and he will know who he is. He is at the final stages of writing his book. An amazingly imaginative book. I don't think he realises just how great it is. I feel bad, because I don't think i have given him the support that I should have these past few months. I have been so caught up in my own little inane dramas that I have maybe not been there for him, like a friend should. I am so proud of him though and hope that he realises this.
New York - Get the cocktails on ice ! Here he comes !
