Whoops!
This time I REALLY messed up guys...I forgot an entire week AS WELL as missing my day. But because you all love me so much I'll just have to hope you'll forgive me :)
So because I missed a week I'll just answer both Friday Questions in one blog.
As for the Daddy one, I would say I have a pretty special relationship with my dad. I think we've always sort of had a lot in common. We both LOVE watching movies - I actually have so many memories of walking to the video store with him, whether I had a friend over or it was just the two of us, it's always nice to have that time with him to just chat. Also more recently I've realized I really enjoy making things with him. He's always taking on big projects around the house and I kinda like using the big tools and being able to say at the end "I helped make that!" Like the pergola (looks a little like this - the second picture down) in our backyard. There are some pretty hilarious pictures my mom took of us working and I'm wearing some crazy safety glasses and drilling a hole in the side of the house with a huge drill :P It's fun! And something else that's started more recently is we talk more often about feelings and stuff - I know, stereotypes about dads not talking about feelings ever or whatever, my dad's all awesome and stuff though, also my whole family has been through a lot of therapy together - and it's so nice that I have another person to talk to if I'm struggling. It's some extra comfort for when I'm feeling sad.
So onto this week's question, am I nosy? That word has such negative connotations, it sounds so mean. Especially because all it means is someone is very curious about other people. And hey, isn't everybody? Cuz I know I am SOO curious about people. I think everyone is so interesting, even the people who don't travel the world constantly or anything. I don't since I've taken therapy I am so interested in people and I don't really have a problem with asking about them from their friends or whatever. I don't even think gossiping is bad (well if we're being honest I don't think anything is bad - but you guys have heard my complicated and often illogical explanations of that before :P I will never go into debating...) I just think it can be hurtful (NOT bad - hurtful) to some people if there's judgement going on too. Because gossiping without judgement is just talking about someone's life, if that's so wrong and we should never do it then what in the world would we talk about? No more celebrity magazines that's for sure. I'm getting waaay off topic aren't I?
Okay, am I nosy? Yes, because I love to hear about and ask questions about people's lives I find them fascinating. I also really like asking people personal questions because I find authentic answers so much more interesting than discussing politics or the weather. Do I eavesdrop when I have the chance - hell ya! Especially if they're talking in french. I mean, it's just so exciting and interesting! But something I can understand is people's want for privacy. Like if someone is telling me a story and something personal comes up that they don't want to discuss then I'm okay with them moving on. My brain might hang on to it for a while and wonder incessantly what it was they didn't want to tell me :P... but if someone doesn't want to tell me something and it's important to them, well, they are important to me so I can handle not being told. I think it's more of an empathy thing then a "shouldn't". If I didn't want to tell someone a personal story I would really like it if they understood and let me keep my secrets.
RIGHT. So, it's been a while since I blogged eh? I'm back from the cottage, which was beautiful, and I already helped my....hahhaha who am I kidding? I already watched my sister pack for three days and then went to the airport with her where my mom and I gave her big hugs and said our goodbyes because she's off to live in another province with her boyfriend! She's gone for the year, though she will be visiting and stuff. It's just sad because we got to have her for three weeks at the cottage and it was super nice :) Anywho, not much else happened this week so I'll sign off.
Till next week
Evie
