A New Year.

SO! Exactly a year ago i wrote my first blog post. Quite early in the morning if i recall cause i woke up vomitting.

My mum is in her bedroom talking on the phone, Amity and Daddy are reading a book and watching some Bollywood cartoon about an Indian girl.

I have only made a few New Years Resolutions, but i think they are important ones.

Yesterday was a really lazy day. I didn't really do much at all. I just lazed around the house, playing with Amity, i think i might have gone to the shops... but i can't be too sure. Yesterday was kind of a fuzz.

Yesterday afternoon my fam was invited to a not-really-party at my aunties house. And we spent about 15-minutes deciding whether or not to go. I think my motivation was what finally tipped us over the edge, so we decided to go after all. i said "Amity will be my primary responsibilty" then my mum said "obviously Mariah wants to go" then Ad said "well she didn't go out last night" and i said "Why does that make a difference?" then Mummy said "because we've been out last night, so we're kinda over it." then i said... nothing.

WOw, it amazes me how i've remembered that conversation word for word... but i think you get the picture. we were all really lazy and tired. Oh wait... but thats actually NOT the point... the point was my motivation.

In order for you to see my motivation, i must take you back to Christmas day, 2010. I went over to my aunties house after we had hosted a christmas at our house with the other side of the family. My aunty's fam was feeling left out, so we made the effort. It was quite fun, me and my little cousins and Amity rode around on scooters while the Daddys shot us with the Nerf Gun, i dressed up as an ugly witch with a mullet and at the end of it i showed up the adults in a game of trivia. Which was brilliant since My Uncle and Aunty are full on academics. ANY WAY! We got my little cousins a bible each for Christmas. Not just ordinary bibles, but really special bibles. Fun bibles. I rememeber the bible i had when i was their age and i absolutely LOVED IT. Even when i couldn't exactly understand all the words, i knew that it was special and i absolutely adored it. Anyway, i got a bible too for one of my presents for Christmas. A cute pocket bible, one that i can take with me every where. I used to have one, one that i took with me absolutely EVERY where, it was my Grandads bible, so it was really special to me. One day, i was on the train and i was reading it. And i never saw it again. *sigh*

ANY WAY! My mum decided to rewrap my bible and pretend to give it to me when my cousins opened their presents, so that they would see how much i love mine, and know how special theirs is too. It worked, anyway my Uncle saw my bible and he started asking me about it, but i kinda got dragged away by my little cousins and i couldn't finish answering him... which i really wanted to, cause i felt like it was a question that would lead somewhere.

Later on, when we were on our way home my mum was like "So, [your uncle] said he watched a documentary about Jesus being married and he asked me what i thought about it."
I nearly jump out of my skin. "WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM?!"

Then my mum said "Well, i told him that i don't really know the facts, but i told him that it doesn't really matter. Cause marriage isn't a sin. WHat does it matter Mariah, would it really change anything?"

"Nahh! I'm not saying it would, it just makes me mad cause the main source of evidence is from some Gnostic gospel made like, 200 years after!!"

As soon as i got home i researched it. And i must admit i was pretty excited when i found out that the gnostic gospel of phillip was actually written 200 years after the life of Jesus, since what i told my mum in the car was just a random guess.

So, yesterday afternoon, when i found out that there was an opportunity that i could see my uncle for New Years, i knew i had one hour to write an essay about why Jesus was NOT married. Complete with disgusting references, photographic evidence and very telling quotes.
I breifly considered just talking to him, but i know him... that type of stuff doesn't work. It has to be facts, with evidence, presented with good grammar.
So i gave him the essay, he read it and i convinced him that Jesus was unmarried. YAY.

It was a really fun night, me and the girls were just playing all night. We played games and pretended to be characters from the Avatar, i was an earth bender, Lucy was an airbender, Ella was a water bender and Amity was a fire bender. AT first Lucy didn't want to play, but i finally convinced her by holding her horizontally and running around the yard saying shes an airbender that can fly. It was heaps of fun. and amity really got into it to, she was running around punching the air saying "me a fire bendaaaaaaaaah!" And later on in the night, we all got glow sticks, and amity got orange ones around her wrists so she could fire bend, and then we all got sparklers... so we all could firebend. And then we had a cartwheel contest, a hopping contest, a jumping contest, a running contest and a rolly polly contest. Not to brag or anything... but i basically won everything. (and so what if they are 2, 5 and 7 years old).
My aunty actually came out to join us at one stage, and she randomly started attacking me with tickles. And i was fully screaming, cuz i'm exteremyl ticklish. Then Little Lucy pushes her off and says "no." I was so stoked. She protected me! :D

And then we ate Pizza on a rug and gave the stars names. We had a bit of a DnM sesh. We talked about mean people, and what to do when people are nasty, we talked about our friends and we talked about God and stuff. It was fun. I am very lucky to have such wonderful little people in my life. Very blessed indeed.

So yer, that was basically my New Years Eve.

Today, i've just been watching Season 4 of 30 Rock with the fam and not much else.

Out.
