Relatives, meme and thoughts

I just got back from a "family lunch". Yes, at 5 pm. We're in Italy after all. ;) Our American relatives are here, so we had lunch all together in a restaurant in our town before they leave for Abruzzo tomorrow. There were 39 people and some of my cousins didn't even come. Yes, I have quite a big family, let me just tell you I'm the youngest among 21 cousins and now some of these cousins have children of their own. Oh, of course that's just my dad's part of the family, then there's my mother's, but we don't really get along all that well with them.



Anyway. The top 5 feelings meme, nicked from schwimmerin. In no particular order.

- Travelling

- Working out the bass line of a song I like

- Getting feedback for something I wrote/drew

- Hugs

- Getting compliments from people who mean it


While I was thinking of what my top 5 feelings are, I remembered how good I felt when I took my parents to the station a month ago. I wasn't leaving with them, but just being there made me feel strangely excited, made me think of my own holidays in September. The moments just before leaving, when I'm waiting in a station or an airport are the ones I like most, along with the moments just after I arrive in a foreign city and I know I have all my holiday ahead of me.

And I can only watch the first 30 seconds of Bela's video at Sarah Kuttner's Show because the internet connection sucks, so I'll have to wait till Monday. AND HOTMAIL'S NOT WORKING! ARGH!
