labellementeuseOkay, boys and girls, who wants ANGST AND WOE?
Clara's leaving tomorrow. You can find all your angst and woe needs for the entire month here.
So. For the past year, as some of you know and some of you may not, my family has had an extra member- Clara, a French exchange student. Before she arrived- well, I wasn't too rapt about it; I told mum so too. But now... fuck, it's AWFUL. >.< She's my sister, okay? Just.... it's so wierd how just living with someone, every day, can make you so close to them. Only a year- god, it seems like such a short time, looking back, and she's such a part of me now.
And she's leaving tomorrow. I can't believe it, I can't process it- we had this crazy 'goodbye, Clara" concert tonight- Mum's idea of course- and we all had to do an item to say goodbye. So first Freya went, and she read this poem she wrote and you know, she's only 11, so it was a bit daft and it half rhymed and half didn't and I still started crying,, and so did she and so did Clara.
Then Hedley played something on the guitar, and then mum read a poem she'd writtend- and it was really good. I was really crying by that stage, and then we watched Rewi play the Bach 'Cello Concerto prelude, and then I had to- I was going to read this letter and poems I'd written but I chickened out and I'll give them to her tomorrow, so I played the Veracini Gigue, and then we all played the Two Grenadiers and then it was Dad's item, and because he sux mildly (not really, I love him somuch) he got us all to sing Now Is The Hour, in maori then in English. I'd regained my composure but I lost it again, I was crying so hard i couldn't sing and it was awful.
>.< This sucks SO MUCH. I can't beleive she's leaving. We watched three movies tonight- Almost Famous, Legally Blonde 2 and Practical Magic, and it was so nice, just sitting there companionably. I had someone to scream at in Practical Magic (which really isn't that scary but ugh, it so was) and to eat 2 Minute Noodles with... *sigh*
On top of that, I had a fight with Lucy this afternoon- she wanted me to come over, I wanted to spend time with Clara, we had an unpleasant phone conversation and it was Shit. But, I e-mailed her, and then she e-mailed me, and so now I'm going to e-mail her back because >.< I love her too. God.
On a lighter note, my brother and I, whilst watching Almost Famous (which was good- any movie that starts of with a mother forbidding her daughter to play Simon and Garfunkel has to be for me), noted that we'd managed to take one period of music and even one particular genre- the loose rock 'n roll- and divide it fairly precisely down the middle, with him going for the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and me going for Siomn and Garfunkel and Cat Stevens.
Funny old world, music.
