Wilson's Prom

Well,

6 day family holidays to Wilson's Prom! It was an enlightening experience. lol. Let's sum it up.

Hm. Food! (including Lao Mai Chi, banana bread, scrambled eggs, curry, pasta, BBQ, waffles, kebabs and a gazillion other things because we're a foodie family), truth or truth with Keira (she's so very mature for her age), daily ice-cream thanks to Auntie Dianne, trivia night, judging skits, handstands + cartwheels...

Wilson's Prom actually has the most gorgeous beach. I didn't appreciate it back in Year 8 with the horrible weather, but wow. The sand is so soft it feels like powder between your toes; the sky is in its full glory every second of the day (be it sunrise, sunset, rainy or cloudless noon); the ocean is just the bluest blue; the waves are the perfect height for attempting body surfing...

I was um. educated in the area of relationships and alcohol? LOL. Tried my first shot of raspberry vodka. Flo was like "Don't think. Just drink." And me, being the supposedly "impressionable" (ugh. wish I wasn't), did it. It went down my throat too fast to actually taste it. But what follows is a blooming warmth that spreads itself through your chest. It feels like scalding liquid that's subdued so it doesn't hurt but you feel the burn? Or a little flame burning inside you. lol idk. Lightheadedness ensued. And apparently I was talking slower and my eyes were dull and alert at the same time. Other than slight dizziness, I don't think I felt thaaat different. It wore off within like. 30 minutes? Not actually a big deal.

Boys are silly and gutless. Okay that was harsh. I think our expectations have just been pushed too high. Guys in real life aren't like those we see in books and movies and fairytales. At least, I haven't met one just yet. They aren't willing to go all out to chase you if they like you. If it's inconvenient for them, that's it. Missed opportunity.

Our family is so very quirky. Oh the heart wrenching stories and fascinatingly wide range of completely different personalities we have.

I definitely got to know them much better. Kind of love 'em all.
