I was just at this wedding dinner just now and... LMAO I can't stop laughing. I can't help myself.

Like all my relatives, my aunties, my grandaunts my granpa, and me lil cousins were all dancing and breaking it down to a DJ!!! Looks like my family can parteh!!! Of course the DJ was playing 80s music, and most of the people there were 2nd cousins and others were hardly or not at all related to me. ;) Petty unimportant details like that should never get in the way of a good story. Humble truth can rarely rub shoulders with the likes of lofty legend and awesome myth or even the presumptious table tale; such as this one. ;)

Its rare for me to have fun at wedding dinners and dinners of people I don't really know (If its someone I know well its a whole diff story.) in general, unless i have intriguing company or... yea unless i have someone interesting to talk to, i generally spend my time wishing I stayed at home. I think its a result of how the adults were when I tried to talk to them when I was little. I used to talk to the uncles and aunties sitting at the table, but most of the time they would talk with a flippant indifference, strained tolerance or worse pained condescendance evident on their faces. Talk about petty grudges eh? ;) There were a few aunts and uncles i enjoyed talking to, but most of the time.... Forget it.

Today was different!

At first it was just your regular wedding dinner, y'know fancy ballroom, reception at the door, tons of friends and relatives. I was seated far at the side... I mean faaar at the side. I really wasn't even invited, just went cause my aunt couldn't and i was there in her place. Usually I would never go to dinners like this one if it wasn't someone I knew personally and reasonably well at that. I hate being shuffled to the side. I mean why come if thats all they think of you? I don't think they'd have noticed if i hadn't shown up. What am I talking about, of course they wouldn't I was invited! Wowzas I'm slow. I know it isn't fair on my part, but hey, don't invite someone unless they actually mean something to you. Insincere sincerity is unbecoming.

Oh... whoops I was supposed to tell you why I had fun... LoL sure doesn't sound like it from the way I'm nagging. I get it from my mum. Wow she's like the all-time featherweight champ of the woooooorld. Both TNN (Total Non-Stop Nagging) and WNE (World Nagging Entertainment). I train only under the best of the best. Like they say. If you want to do something bad, do it good. I am the next big thing. ;)

mMmm

Anyhow...

The wedding was okay. The slideshow was somehow homey and elegantly presented yet it lacked comprehensivity, not like it really matter to moi or that it wasn't good. Just not the way I would have done it if it were mine. But then, one mans meat...

Okay enough time-wasting to the good part. I had been out of the ballroom cause I had walked Old Man Lee to the lift, since he's bit shaky even since he's prides grudgingly acquiesced to his kids, who themselves are decades older than me, incessant proddings to acquire a walking stick. When I walked back in I was jawslacked and more than momentarily stunned to see my (lets be politically correct) older relatives shaking their booty all over the dance floor. Albeit their take on breakdancing is conderably more sedate than what I am used to, but let me tell you, seeing your granduncle bouncing his hips off your grandaunt through flashing lights and smokescreens gives you a whole new outllook on life. ;) Maybe growing olde isn't so bad after all. Just make sure you immortal souls knows its nature when you body starts to tire. Gawd It was fun. I even danced with and aunt or two, a grandaunt and two lil 2nd cousins thrown in 4 the fun of it. ;) Its one of the greatest times I've had with 60, 70 and 80 year olds yet. You'd be surprised, I bet they could teach anyone a move or two on the floor. ;)

Break it down now! ;)

G'nite.

What do you want to be? 17 year olds are often posed this question. My answer? I want to be happy. ;) Cheers
