Family Weekend
Over the weekend went to Worthing to see the rest of the family with my brother and Dru for my cousin David’s kid’s christening.
Ordinarily christenings aren’t really my scene but considering I haven’t seen most of Dad’s side of the family for (in some cases) up to 10 years, I thought I’d make an effort – and since Dru has subjected me to her family I thought it would be time for some revenge
Man, sitting through all the churchy stuff was crazy. It’s like every other bloody sentence is a reminder of Jesus is Lord, we are not worthy of God, blah blah blah. They certainly drum it into them. Makes me think that the only difference between cults and religions is that one of them has government backing… I don’t know how much of David’s idea the whole thing was, he seemed I little knocked of center by the whole thing and a lot of people didn’t really join in with the whole religious-y stuff, though some of them sung hymns. The most I contributed was standing up and sitting down at the right places.
The rest of the day was just spent eating and hanging out, catching up with people, etc. Dru and I were mostly pretty quiet though. I’m not much of a conversationalist and Dru was a bit shy I think
Well, I shall have to try and better stay in touch from now on.
