Coco Loco

My parents are being psychotic and I'd like to come home now

La Cucaracha

Location, Barbados. Weather, thunderstorms. Today has been perhaps the dullest of the visit home so far. I have also discovered that if you sit on the dining chairs in shorts for a prolonged perios of time, your legs seem to bond with the chair, and rip away when you stand up. Ouch!

I have come on this extended trip to help my parents put the house back together after they renovated the bottom floor. The place is literally a construction site! I cant even sleep in my room because it has the entire contents of the kitchen inside of it. Instead I am sleeping on a futon in the tv room that everyone is living in. it is getting better though, as we slowly move things down, no furniture except the dining table and chairs though.

last night, while plugging in my phone charger, a nasty little black cockroach leapt from its hiding place on the table, and scurries across my wrist. it. was. HORRIFIC. I could feel its little body on my arm long after we sprayed half a can of baygon in the immediate area to exterminate it. My mother then found it funny to tickle my feet while i was sleeping to freak me out. Thanks mummy.

Saturday 2nd July 11

Time , 2308. Mood, Sleepy. Weight, unknown. I sit in front of the tv, pondering life's mysteries. What was the greatest thing before sliced bread? Why is angry birds so addictive? Why don't I have any ice cream? Will I ever fit into my denim skirt ever again? Where is my passport?

I live with a blithering idiot who keeps me enthralled with stories of people I neither know nor care about. Today I had classics such as "Candice txt me at 4 am to tell me about the blister on her toe" and "I shagged this guy who was doing cocaine last night. I'm strongly against drugs, but I respect him for doing it in a different room to the one I was in". Really?? REALLY? i also get regular updates on what she has eaton in the past few days, whatever her 5 year old niece is doing at school, and the current state of her sisters stretch marks. Fab!
