Jislaaik!

I was sitting here at my desk sorting some MP3 files on my laptop when the sound of someone flipping a light switch and the closing of my parents’ bathroom door startled me. I thought I was home alone…

I quietly made my way to the kitchen and got one of the large knives, I lightly ran my thumb along the blade to make sure it was sharp. I slowly walk towards my parents’ bedroom with the knife in my trembling right hand, I could hear water running in my parents’ shower as I got closer. I get to the closed bathroom door and tap on it with the knife. I got no response from whoever was in there so I knocked with my left hand while holding the knife tightly with my right hand.

“What?!” shouted my youngest sister from inside the shower.

I opened the door, stuck in my head and shouted, “Jislaaik, Belle! I almost had a freaking heart attack; I didn’t know you were home, I thought I was home alone!” And with that I closed the door, ran to the kitchen and put the knife away.

I hate not being able to feel safe, even at home.

R.I.P. Flutterby

Yesterday my youngest sister called me to look at a butterfly in her bedroom that she had brought in from the rain on Saturday night. She told me that she thinks that the butterfly was sick or something as it was very weak; it didn’t seem to fly very far at all. She also told me that she had the butterfly sit on her finger. I didn’t believe her, I had to see it for myself…

It was awesome; having a real live butterfly crawl on my hand and sit on my finger. I just had to record it and share! I named the butterfly, “Flutterby”.

Oh and that is my youngest sister in the video.

She came home from school today and found the butterfly dead. She was a bit sad about it. And so was I because I wanted to take nicer photos with it than the ones I had taken yesterday. Oh well…

“What’s Happening?” They Ask

I’ve been busy with several things and this here website had taken last place on my priority list… Until this very moment because I am bored out of my mind, am still feeling ill and need to get my mind off of recent and ongoing drama with my parents and I.

Here’s a quick update on what has been going on:

I received my gift from Bob last Wednesday, 27th of February; one of the best gifts that I have ever received… A brand spanking new laptop / notebook! Thank you so very much, Bob!

I did not attend Bloggeratti Jozi on Saturday simply because I wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to ride in a car for like forty minutes or so to get to Linden from Krugersdorp as I easily get carsick. My mother giving hell and putting me in a bad mood also added to my loss of interest in attending the event that evening.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about what I want out of life and what to make of my future; I have yet to find out what all that exactly is.

I kind of have a new man in my life. He’s just a friend for now as he and I both don’t know what we really want from one another, other than friendship right now. I’m good having him as just a friend anyway, we only just physically met on Sunday… So it is

My body has been acting up the past several days as I haven’t been able to take my medication. Long story short: They finished and I wasn’t able to get my “repeat” batch until tonight. I tend to get ill after not having consumed my medication for a couple days. I guess that my system is so accustomed to the drugs that when suddenly none is being taken, it acts up. I don’t know…

And now my eyes are giving in and I’m about to fall asleep. I’ll write again soon and will be returning comments on Sunday if not sometime tomorrow morning. Damn, it’s past one o’clock in the morning and I have to wakeup early to get things done before the man arrives to take me out. I’m off to sleep!
