Four days in the life of emigre

Boom! Shake the room,

This week has reinforced how much I enjoy my usual uneventful life.

On Monday was usual Uni, I'm there from 10 to 4. I'm bit worse for wear in my first module but my second class of the day, I' more alert and I put in some good points. I did that and got on the tube to get back home. On the way back, I got a phone call from my Dad and he told me Mum had a fall and is in hospital having hurt herself around the arm area. He than notifies me, there are several distant family members at our house and I have to deal with them and not to tell my older Sister. After Dad reassures me Mum is relatively 'ok,' I am fairly calm and I go home to deal with distant family members. They have kids, two boys around twelve and seven, so I suggest they play on my PS3 and Wii which seems to go down well. The eldest came across rather well, his brother I suspected had some sort of behaviour problems. The elder brother did a good job in taking care of him. After I sort those two out, I get on my phone and let my Sister know what's happening. I call my Dad several times across several hours and he eventually tells me Mum has sprained her wrist. They come home from hospital and Dad informs me, she's actually broken her wrist and she's s in a cast for the next six weeks. Soon Dad goes to work and the distant relatives leave. I than take care of my Mum till midnight when I got to bed as my Dad will come home from work at around that time.

On Tuesday I go to Uni usually from 10 to 12 but today I'm there till 1.30 to do some work for a seminar. Usual Uni stuff, I say shit, shit tends to be semi-good.I than go home and get there at around 3. My sister had come to visit Mum and take care of her as Dad had gone to Birmingham for a family meeting. I than proceed to take care of Mum and do Uni work. I also spend time on calling my Dad to find out what time he's coming back, he left at 5 but he's been stuck in traffic for five hours so he doesn't come back home until 11.

On Wednesday I go to Uni usually from 10-12 but I go in an hour early to see my dissertation supervisor. Last week she told me plan wasn't goo enough so I spent time on it and found a new direction. She said is really good and I was on the right track so it looks like I'm not going to competently flunk. I go my classes and do my shit. I come home, eat some lunch and than go to the supermarket to do the weekly shop. I come home, have shower as the family (Dad, Sister, Brother in law, Niece and Nephew) bar my Mother are going to a Wedding that evening. We go the Wedding and stay there longer than we wanted to. We said we'd go after the main course was served which was meant to be at 8. The starters were served at 9 and the main course at 10. I just wanted to be home doing my work. Dad and I get home at 11. I spend time on reading the news and sorting my stuff out for the next day.

On Thursday, I'm meant to be at Uni from 10-12 for utterly pointless dissertation lectures. Instead I go to the library and do some reading. On the way home I picked up Castlevanis: LoS and look at a farmer's market to see if there's anything good to eat. There isn't and I go home. I go home and get lunch ready for Mum. Than I go and hide in my Mum only going out to check on her every twenty minutes. I have no issue with looking after her but the problem is Mum is such a difficult person to know, she constantly in a state of self pity ever since I was a boy. I don't think there words to really articulate how difficult she is. She has negative narrow minded viewpoint which her a frustrating person, she is always continually telling me to pray to God to make her better. And now she's ill, it just makes things a little more difficult. I'm not remotely close to her at all though I've lived with her my entire life, she's never taken an interest in me in how I feel or the things I do. She didn't even know what subject my degree was in until after I finished my first year. I'm hoping she gets better an tolerable over the next several weeks though or else I'll go mad.

Sorry for his being somewhat long and troll-free but I feel the need to get this out of my system or else I will go bonkers and burn the house down or something..

I thought this was emigre's blog??

This blog has shed a lot of light on who emigre is and what motivates him. I read the entire thing in Christian Bale's voice as he went through his "morning routine" in American Psycho.

It's easy to forget that even the most successful trolls have IRL stuff to deal with... Hope all goes well.
