こんにちは guys,
(This is a note of precaution to readers who were anticipating an article about the British television series 'New Tricks': this isn't one. One day, when I get out of my Doctor Who/Big Bang Theory rut, I'll look into it. Until then, stay tuned.....)
A few days ago, just as I was about to go shopping for school supplies, my aunty/godmother called. Now I thought she wanted to speak to my mum, because that's what they normally do, but this time she wanted to talk to ME. So I was expecting her to yell at me for accidentally eating all the icecream in her fridge when I went to visit her earlier those holidays, but she did the unthinkable.......
She asked me to be her son's godmother.
Me.
Me.
ME!
Of all the 7,094,882,626 people in the world, she chose this fashionably uncoordinated blogger to be a godparent to her 1 month old child. Yes, I was astounded too.
When I asked her why, she said "well, you have many good qualities". Like what though? I can't go a day without accidentally swearing/offending someone, tripping over anything, being late or being anything influential at all. So why leave your child in my less than capable hands? I wouldn't.
In the end, I accepted. Because like the Oscars, it's an honour to even be nominated and you can't exactly turn down moments like these and run the risk of disappointing anyone. And the christening went well, except when I nearly lit the pastor on fire by accident. But that's another story.
Over the last 24 hours, I have been thinking, 'as a godmother, what can I do to be a good influence on my godson?' And that's something we all need to reflect on at least once in our lives. Do we really want those people who are little now, to grow up and look upon us all with scorn? And because I don't like thought of anyone being ashamed of me, I'm determined that this is a year I make a difference.
How and when I make this difference has yet to come to mind, as has the idea of what I'll do. But because I've never made any significant changes/impacts upon society or myself. And because it's taken me years to form this persona of idleness and insanity, it's going to be hard to teach this old dog some new tricks.
And it's hard enough as it is to teach new dogs (puppies) standard stuff. My friend who I like to call 'Nephew' got a gorgeous little Labradoodle the other day, and while it may be cute, the stress of watching her teach it where to go to do it's business was enough to make me, the onlooker, want to throw it out the window..
Now I would never normally do that, I love animals, but that's the power of stress. And if that was just me, I can't exactly imagine how she felt.
So brace yourself my dear readers for the next few years as I attempt to juggle school, social life, TV and writing blog posts. It's going to get even crazier as the schoolwork-load increases, but I promise you that I'll still be here, documenting the insane world that is my life and everything in it.
And highlight and circle the 2nd of March in your calendars, because guess what? It's the 1 year anniversary of V=MC squared!!!!!! I didn't even think it'd make it this long, but it has!!!!
That's all I'm going to say for now, I've got a swimming carnival to train for (damn you school regulated exercise!) and homework to do, so I leave you with this amazing quote from Sir Isaac Newton: "Have a pleasant day, study hard and be as awesome as physically possible".
