You're not gonna believe this.



9 ppl are coming over tmr to stay.



My house is way too small for 9 extra ppl! Those of you who have come over shld know. No one's gonna have any breathing space. We're gonna be cramped up like the molecules of a metal, vibrating in our own little spaces and occasionally bumping into each other.



They're from Australia, relatives of a mutual relative. They'll be here for 2 days, and the mutual relative, my uncle, felt that they absolutely had to experience my family's hospitality. *rolls eyes* Oh well. My family, especially my mom, is very friendly to non-members in general. And we seem to have made a great impression on my uncle. We're not very closely related, yet he told my mom and dad that he loves us so much. Seriously, I was a teeny bit freaked out by that little revelation. I mean, we see each other what, every 2 yrs? Yet he managed to develop such affection for us!



That's not all that freaked me out though. In fact, this freaked me out way more than the fact that he loves us: He wants to get me married to his son. And he's bloody serious about it! His son and I played together as kids, and somehow I became known as his girlfriend. My uncle used to address me as 'daughter-in-law' but I never took it seriously. It's quite different now though. I'm totally freaked out, and I've made up my mind to be cautious and to never speak to Bavin (his son) even if my life depended on it.



Ever heard your parents talk to another parent about marrying you off their kid? I've been in that situation quite a few times, and it happens mostly during weddings and such gatherings. My parents won't bring it up though. It's always the other party. And they'd start exchanging info about kids, being careful to mention only the good stuff. I'd pretend not to hear, but it won't work, cos often, they'd be looking directly at me. I'd feel like I'm a huge slab of meat at a meat market. Gosh.



Oh man. Sis needs to use the computer, as always. Bah.
