Wishes

I wish it would stop raining.
I wish there were at least a couple of sunny days coming up.
(I bet all the people living in areas threatened by the flooding agree with me here.)

Totally unrelated to this: I would love to have a Star Wars TV series focusing on the adventures on Anakin and Obi-Wan with Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor in the lead. A series like this would rock!
As I can't have this I rewatched the second season of the Clone Wars cartoon. The interaction between Obi-Wan and Anakin is great in this!

Shifting again to another topic: It would be nice if my parents called me.
I've got the impression that they rarely call me and instead wait for me to call them. When I don't call often enough (i.e. about twice a week), they will ask me in this disappointed way why I *never* get in touch. And I've told them several times: You can call me, too!
So I'm trying to prove a point here: I called them before I left for London telling them about my trip and when I would be back. Since then I haven't called them and kind of expected them to contact me. Well, they haven't. And yes, I know they are alright, because they have talked to people I know.
I don't know - it just annoys me that usually I have to get in touch with them. The phone goes in both directions, doesn't it?! - And I know the whole thing is childish, but yeah, I deserve my moments of childishness.

Hi, welcome back from London!
Talking about rain, well, yes, that's even a bit too much rain for me and I'm very sorry for all people in the flooding area. But hey, I've just recently discovered a very poetic phrase in a song of one of my current favourite bands: Do you know "Wake me up when September ends" by Green Day? It's a very beautiful ballad and there's one line saying "Here comes the rain again, falling from the stars, drenched in my pain again, becoming who we are...". Well, that's what I've always in mind right now when I think of rain. It's nice, don't you think so?

Yes, I've heard about this strange telephone phenomenon that parents normally believe there's only one direction even though my Mom calls me more often than I call her. Think, I can call myself quite lucky...! ;-)
We all deserve our moments of childishness! ;-)
Looking forward to seeing you soon! :-)

:o) I like rain - in moderate amounts. Yesterday was a bit excessive though. After walking to the tube station equipped with a large umbrella, good shoes and a coat I was nevertheless soaked: Wet coat, wet hair, trousers wet up to the knees. No fun! And it's August - one rainy day is okay, but rain on five weekends in a row?! :-(

See you soon! Looking forward to the graveyard walk.

It would be nice if my parents called me.

Heh, I have the opposite problem - mine call me every night, at 9 o'clock. Not that it's really a 'problem', it's just difficult sometimes if, say, I want to go get bladdered, or if I want to 'see' someone, and have to lay my private life on the line for them.

But, I do love my parents, dearly.

Yeah, that was the problem I had after I moved out. Honestly, I wouldn't mind not getting in touch with them twice a week. It just bugs me that they do the "You don't care for us. *sob*" routine when I don't call them regularly.
The other thing is I'll get married next year and every call I make centers around the wedding preparations. Gah!!!
I think I'm somewhat atypical, because I don't want to spend a big amount of time on planning this stuff. Also my parents never seem to agree with my ideas and make me feel like I'm dumb. ("Why are you inviting so-and-so? What about aunt XYZ? Are your friends more important to you than your family?")
And, yes, I do love my parents - they have great moments. Am just frustrated with them right now.
