the art of being sweet seventeen

just got back from my grandmother's nursing home. i think they still want to expel her. it's rather amusing, really. i suspect she picks fights with people because she's bored. she can't read, doesn't know how to appreciate music, and is too lazy to play cards. anyway the last time she stayed at our house, my sister caught her cheating at solitaire. and i get the feeling she doesn't want a nice big dog. what a pity. she's been refusing to sit up for ages, claiming it makes her tired. well, that was until i got tired and decided to borrow her wheelchair, and amused myself rolling all over the room. that was when she decided she wanted to get in on the fun too, and told my mother she wanted to go for a walk. hahaha. so i effectively tricked an old lady into sitting up and getting some fresh air. hooray. it's like that with kids anyway. just pretend you're having fun and they'll want to do whatever it is you're doing. banal human mentality. incidentally my grandmother looks like yoda. i suspect it upsets my mother when i tell her they look strikingly alike. my sister and mother leave for uk tonight. i'll be left here for two weeks. i'm seeing them off, but if my father doesn't come along i guess i can just get lost trying to go back via mrt. no way in hell am i taking a cab, i didn't slog at the office for two weeks just to squander my hard-earned cash. i've got this nagging feeling i'm supposed to be doing something right now. like sleeping, or something important of that sort. i think i'll go tease page. or brush her fur, since everyone says i've got a funny-furred hamster. it's not my fault she doesn't take to water very well.
