h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I went home to scotland to see my mum on the 27th of December
with my wonderful Fiancé (Joe/Khamsin)
his American friend (Matt - The Driver)
and another friend that we met in scotland (Jordan - Gerbil)

It was a suprise christmas present, and boy was i suprsied
and so was my mum when i phoned up on boxing day asking for somewhere to stay

It was great being able to see my family again
(yes even my sister.... though perhaps.... nah lets go with great)
and we got to suprise my gran that was fun

I do miss my family in scotland terrably
but i had a good time there and i look forward to being able to go back
It kinda made me realise that no matter where i go
it will always be my real home...
at least for a while longer

on sadder news i learned that Fudge (my cat in scotland)
got poisoned... probably rat poison they think
and she had to be put down
I hate people that can do that without thinking....



happy new year to everyone

Glad your family's well!

Sorry about Fudge.

I've still not seen home this year... Spent 'Hogmanay' in Edinburgh, which I'll (grudgingly) admit can throw a good party. Then again, 6 quid for Hard Fi, fireworks, insane amounts of people with beer and an obligatory police caution can't be bad....

Unlucky about the cat by the way.

woohoo

Hey,Anth,sorry about Fudge.Good to see things are better with the family though.

Glad you enjoyed Edinburgh,Pysc.I go there ever second year for New Year with my dad,and this year was the first year I've went out to see the fireworks.Last time it was rained off.But it was absolutely fabulous.

Did you go on the Big Wheel in Princes' Street?

No. I just got very very drunk.

Sounds about right.

I'm glad you still feel at home at home - our house was sold a couple of months ago, and I stayed with my dad in the house he's temporarily staying in...and it wasn't home at all.

It's weird - I don't feel like I have a home at all !

i know that feeling i felt more at home coming back to uni, where i've lived for one turm than i did visiting family at "home" for christmas, the holiday was confusing i just couldnt settle.

yeah I know what you mean dusk, my Christmas that I went home when I was in durham was like that too, but then when I got back to uni I couldn't deny {I was on the worng course so unfortunately I had to leave and come back home again

I think that once you get to a certain age, the house your parents live in ceases to be home, and just ends up as the house your parents live in. That'd explain why so many Uni students don't feel "at home" at home. If you get what I mean...
