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

Well lets see,
holidays are all very well when you think about it but they do have the inconvenience of going into real life.
Real life is scary… It’s full of choices and decisions and lots of scary things.
For example: Khamsin and I went to see his new baby cousin, a cute little girl and we all know (or most of us) how small and fragile a baby is when its really small so I was kinda afraid to hold her and after Khas passing her to me I was in complete awe at what a tiny, cute, adorable little girl it was.
Although trying to explain this to Khamsin ended up with him calling me broody.
I am not broody. I don’t want kids at the current moment in time. I will only be 18 in a few months. Collage, university, etc currently comes before a family thanks all the same. I believe I was also accused of “wanting to frolic in the fields.”

Now Khamsin assures me that he is not the typical male with the one track mind… but I am starting to wonder…

Anyway. After a holiday full of sitting watching movies, sharing ice-cream, boat rides, a night at a restaurant, candy floss, and even a trip to a church, (which even though I am not a religious person turned out to be a lot more enjoyable with friendlier people than I had expected… the question is what did I expect?) it is regrettably time for me to come home. (I would stay if I could)

I am not home yet and won’t be until Tuesday. So I am going to enjoy what little is left of my time here with Khamsin because I want some good memories to take home with me. I have loved my time in England but I think that’s more to do with the company I kept rather than the fact that so far it has rained nearly all day

Although I will miss being in real life I think it is definitely somewhere you should only go to for a holiday. Real life is fun, but its not for living in

Anthea

cool!

Sounds like you've been having fun Anth

A bit of advice from a mum, live your life first, I had Alex when I was 26 (give or take a few weeks) now by today's standards that is ancient but I did everything I wanted to before I had a family, there are a few more things I want to do, if Alex doesn't want to join me then I'll wait 'till she's older, but definatly do what you want to first, how many of you school mates have kids already or plan to in the next couple of years

none of my friends have kids that i know of,
I defenetly want to know where i stand before i ever consider that path.
currently i am going though what i would like to call "teenager in aquard and ever so slightly serious relationship" stage
meaning although my relationship with khas is enjoyable and i love him dearly i dont know where i stand and untill i do then nothing else can be done,
also working on the catholic based (or so i think) tradition of being good (er,... you know what i mean) untill your settled down with a guy theres nothing happening any time soon,

ah if only life were more simple

nahhh go and have some fun, tinker! we have just had our first nipper and i'm 45, so what i'm saying is take your time! theres no rush!

Anth, You're too young to be worrying about this now, enjoy what you have and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow

Yeah, believe me- life with kids when you're that young is a bear. Especially when they reach the 2-3 year old age. Especially if you have two.

Especially if they both have very strong lungs.

I think you may have misread my posts
I DO NOT want childeren in the forseable future,
Kham was only joaking about me being broody as was i about his one track mind

(he is actualy much worse, no tracks at all )

Khas is acting all offended now...
I think he looks cute when hes offended...

of course now that i have called him cute on a public form he is acting more offended than normal...
SO CUTE!!!

Don't worry Anth it's a male ego thing, unfortunatly it's one they NEVER grow out of

I suppose... but maybe with some training...

Only if you keep with it, they have very short memories and have to be reminded often of their lessons

I am sure with a regular "topup" he could soon be...
well... semi domesticated...

Just keep plenty of newspaper handy

Tsk. You cannot domesticate modern man. Lager Sapiens is immune to all forms of logical argument, and only responds to violence and bribery.

Damn. Now our secret is out....

That is what the newspaper's for

Why is it drunk males insist on singing along to Oasis, my neighbour was doing it last night, if Liam Gallhager had a grave he'd be turning in it

I dunno, obviously it's in my genes, and that of my compadres. Get a room full of drunk Mancs and play Oasis or the Stone Roses and you're guaranteed some sort of impromptu kareoke. I think it's tuned to the harmonics of the Mancunian brain.

If you want proof, request 'I am the Ressurection' in any of Manchester's Indie clubs. There's a two second gap between the end of the song proper and the start of the instrumental which is, without fail, filled by every single person in the place (bouncers and bar staff included) shouting 'STONE F*CKING ROSES!' at the tops of their voices.

It must be scary to people who don't expect it.

I dont think i have to worry about that
Khamsin's a very well behaved guy when it comes to that...
and not drinking alcohol...
at all..

see he comes well trained already
