mooncat_chelionVisited with friends today, and I found that I'm getting a little more comfortable with the children. (They have twins, about 5 months old now) At first, in all honesty, I wasn't sure how to feel or act...but now, I'm kind of getting used to the idea of them being there. I guess it was just weird; these were friends from college that I've known for years and suddenly their life had taken a radical change. You know, that selfish little part of you that pipes up with things like 'how dare they change the equation' and stupid things like that. Can't say that I'm happy with the thoughts of that voice, but change is often hard to adapt to. You get used to things being a certain way and while it's not fair that one should expect people not to change, I guess there's that inner part of you that doesn't want to be forgotten or something. Like, they have cubs now, what do they need with a neurotic freak like me? Stupid voices.
I still like to joke that their lives are over now...the got the house, the pets and the kids, social life is a thing of the past *grins and ducks and thrown objects* but they still manage for now. The boys aren't ambulatory yet and are basically cooing, flailing lumps. Frankly, I have every respect for them, in fact for anyone who can/does/wants to provide a loving home for children, but kids just aren't....me. I think I like the idea of being crazy aunt kitty. Yes. :) (Gah, that's a convoluted series of thoughts back there.) Anyway, one of the twins found me fascinating today, and I have no idea why. Ah well.
We watched Lilo and Stitch, which was great. Been a while since I laughed so much at a cartoon. I mean with lines like "It's ok, my dog found the chainsaw" and "Maybe it's a koala. An evil koala" how could you -not- like this movie. Lilo sort of reminded me of Wednesday Addams, with her deadpan commentary on weird things and general warped demeanour. I also borrowed a box set of Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Whee, much anime watching for a while. :) We also played a version of Life, but it was Star Wars themed. Kinda nifty. Must introduce these folks to Fluxx...yes.
I also miss the RPG sessions we'd have. I might take up roleplaying online. Burned myself out of that for a while, being a Wizard/Admin/Owner of a MUD is extremely stressful, but I think it might be time soon to start again, since I've stepped down from that role. So many ideas in this crammed cranium, so little opportunities to use them. Well, that and the writer's block/general lack of motivation I've had recently have kept me from the creative process, but I refuse to stagnate. Must create.
