Remember the dear ancients I talked about two blogs ago? Yeah, my darling mother decided to meet up with them again. Lewis got out of it by using the old "I-have-work" excuse, but the rest of us were dragged along to the ASDA* car park. Once we were safely in said car park, my darling grandmother opened the boot of her car and started unpacking sandwiches. And cheese twists. And home bakes. And flasks of tea and coffee. All the ancients ooh'ed and ahh'ed, but I rolled my eyes in disgust. My family are seriously the only people on the face of the earth that would actually show up in a supermarket car park and provide their own food.

As if this wasn't bad enough, they actually started eating the food. Yes, they were having their own picnic in the middle of ASDA car park. The amount of strange looks we received was unbelievable, but of course everyone, bar me, was completely oblivious to them.

*rolls eyes*

Actually, one not so horrible thing happened in the car park. A boy got out of a car and he looked so much like Pete Wentz it was scary.

Anyway, my mother's cousin, partner and children joined us too. All in all, around fifteen people were having a picnic in the car park.

Isn't it funny how when the family get together, they think it's alright to talk about you as if you're not there? For example, I heard my dear old granddad (the same one who told my sister she had put on "a few ounces") discussing my job with my mum's cousin's boyfriend. Then my mum jumps in with this story about this boy she thinks I have a huge crush on. I seriously don't.

But, because they are my "family" and they are my "elders", I couldn't tell them to shove it, but I just had to settle for scowling at them. If my future freedom hadn't depended on me keeping a "civil tongue", believe me, I wouldn't have. In fact, I only got one dirty look from my mother, simply because I realised I had broken a bit of wire in my braces and it had stabbed my gum, so I said, "Oh, bloody hell." Sheesh, if looks could kill!

Anyway, I did get some amusement, after the disastrous picnic in the car park. We were taking David to a park, as, being a five-year-old boy, he doesn't exactly have a long attention span. Of course, my mother dragged us to these gardens first, so I just turned my music up really loud and started singing Skater Boy at the top of my lungs. Oh, the looks I got *grins*

Then, when we were leaving the gardens and finally going to the park, there was a couple lugging a large pram up the stairs to get out. I spied a ramp just along from the steps and grinned evilly. I then proceeded to skipping up the ramp where I met the couple and their pram at the top where the steps and the ramp met. I looked pointedly at the pram, then at the steps and then at the ramp from where I had just come. I smiled widely and said, "Lovely day, isn't it?"

Maybe they should be more observant next time, to stop idiotic, teenage wise-cracks like myself from having a good laugh at their expense.

Then again, karma bad luck struck again in the form of David. He started annoying this boy about ten times his size, so I had to intervene, where David then proceeded to kick me in the shins and run off. I spied the couple I had seen previously, and they had huge grins on their faces. Yes, that's right, you laugh at me. I'll have the last laugh, though. I always do *mwahahaha*

The X Factor started today. I love The X Factor. A girl in my music class got an audition, but she couldn't go, so she never. She's quite good at singing, actually. It's a shame. Anyway, if anybody else watched it, did you think the first two were so hilarious you almost felt embarrassed for them? Almost, but you didn't, because you were too busy laughing xD

I also ate one and a half tubs of Ben & Jerry's Cookie Dough Ice-Cream, and now I feel slightly ill. I wanted to have the sorbet, but SOMEBODY ate it all last night *glares at Lewis*

But anyway, my mother asked if it would be at all possible for me to shut up while she read her book. I smiled sweetly and said of course it wasn't, but then she bribed me with a fiver, so I shut up and amused myself by drawing a smiley face on my ice-cream. You know when you take the lid off and it's all smooth? Yeah... *reminisces*

I just finished watching Atonement on Sky Movies Premiere +1 (I had to use +1 because X Factor never finished until 8.30pm and Atonement was on at 8pm on the non+1 channel - which would be Sky Movies Premiere...). It was so sad. I cried. My mum never, though. Heartless woman *tuts*

Well, as it is 11.20pm and I'm quite tired, I think I'm gonna go to bed now.

Night night, children (:

*does anybody know what ASDA actually stands for? Or is it all just written in capitals to annoy people like me?
