Random meetings
Jun. 10th, 2008 02:51 pmFirst of all, GIP!! :O)
Okay, so my parents got home last night. Their plane was due 7.55pm so my sis and I decided we'd aim to get there about 8.25/8.30ish to give the pares time to get through customs. Of course when we got there we discovered their plan landed 20 minutes later than it should have so we still had to wait around for ages.
Anyway, my parents got upgraded to premium economy (lucky bastards LOL) and as they were settled and the rest of the plebs were making their way to Economy they heard someone call their name. They look up and there is Shaun, someone who lived two doors down at the old house - he is a year older than me and him and his sis and me and my sis would play together all the time when we were kids. Although I occasionally see his sis I havent seen him in about ten years. He came out of customs a few minutes after my parents so we got to catch up for a few minutes. Its weird, coz I didnt think I would recognise him, but he really looks exactly the same. It was so random, but good to see him.
On the way home from the airport my parent claimed they were exhausted and could sleep for a week (not an unheard claim after flying for 24 hours). Only they couldnt sleep for a week - they slept for about five hours. They were awake at 4am and couldnt get back to sleep and decided they should at least do something with their time, so they unpacked everything and were moving around the house and had the TV on. Yeah, thanks for that. I really appreciate being woken up at 4.30am when I have to go to work and you dont. Grrr.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I am finally watching Torchwood. I tried to get as much downloaded and watched before my parents came home and we had to fight over the laptop. LOL. I am about a third the way through season two right now and have the rest downloaded and ready to watch. :O)
I havent really checked my flist all weekend and it got to skip=435. Crazy. I am knackered now. LOL. Link me to anything important I may have missed.
