Dear Life,

You always happen at inopportune moments!
Today I hope to spend my Sunday studying furiously, doing a small amount of grocery shopping and completing the several loads of washing. What I instead did today was:
- A small amount of studying
- A tonne of grocery shopping
- And, two loads of washing, one of which I only hung out a couple of hours ago and am thus unable to make my bed.

I also went to the football with my Dad, one of his good friends and the good friend's son, who is also my best friend. Soon after hearing that my friend (we shall call him T) was going, I received this text.

T: Yay rugby tomorrow? Twill be fun
Me: Haha you can explain most of it to me.
T: Is rugby the one where all the players have sticks?
Me: I thought they had horses?
T: No you retard that's golf.

And thus began the theme which was played upon the following afternoon.

Me: But really? It's the game with rackets right?
T: Dad, Caitlin wants to know if rugby has rackets?
T: Do you even know who's playing?
Me: The REDS! *I tell him proudly*
T: Against?
Me: ... The blues? *I replied hopefully*
T: That's league. The force, Caitie. The force.

Which I proceeded to mistakenly call The Storm for the entire rest of the day.

T: I only know it's the Force because I decided to read up on it on the internet.
Me (thinking): Does he mean The Storm?
T: Anyway - if you want to pretend that you know what you're talking about, I have the best piece of random information about this game.
Me: Oh yeah... *Please tell me, and let me be the impressive child*
T: David X is an ex-all black player who... blah blah blah. So if you just randomly use this piece of information in front of our dads, they'll look at you with respect.
Me: I have this terrible fear that you've made up this story and you're just waiting for me to turn to my dad and say "David X is an ex...." and then he will turn around and be like, "Caitlin, I have no idea what you're talking about. David X is a soccer player who played for South Africa..."
T: ...."And is now dead."
Me: Exactly! ... Hey?
T: Just trust me...

But, as I was saying - life is just too busy at the moment and it's just not right. I need to start culling activities and events from my life but besides dinner on Friday night with med friends, I have been spending all my weekend with family. And who can say no to good company and a roast lamb. So Life, it is time for you to become dedicated and gain some direction.

The end.
