Boxing day

I worked that day. I was not in a good mood about it as I was still knackered even after having xmas day off plus I was afraid I was going to miss family members who were coming round in the evening. Luckily, this was not the case. We did have some bitchy customers though. I messed up because I sold a camera on xmas eve without telling them they needed a memory card. To be honest, they moaned and pointed the finger at me (how rude!) but I couldn't care less and I blame their own stupidity. I can't remember to tell people every time, I was running around like a headless chicken that day. Your own fault if you want to buy a camera on xmas eve, fools.

Kelv needed to leave an hour early so it wasn't too bad when I got home. My nan, grandad, aunt and uncle were there so I told them about my day. We had a partically long conversation about parents and grandparents who are so ignorant about gaming. We always get a parent coming in and buying 16s or 18s for their 10 year old sons. It's ridiculous. You wouldn't buy an 18 rated film for a kid right?! But that day we had a partically bad case when a boy tried to buy MW2 on xbox when Kelv refused him because he wasn't old enough. His mum, sounding quite cross, stormed over and said "Nope but I can buy it for him!". Kelv asked if she was sure because it's an 18 and very violent. She did not give a toss. And you wonder how these kids get online and annoy everyone? Well there's your answer. It was the most stupid thing I'd ever seen. All it is is ignorance. The parents don't take an interest in their kids interests so they just willingly buy what they want because it will "keep them quiet". Oh sigh. I giggled today about someone who brought Assaisins Creed for their 10 year old to Kim and Kelv. "I wonder if he knows that game has an interactive love scene in?". Funny times.

Anyway we had LOADS of party food to eat. My mum and sister made a fantastic gingerbread house and some reindeer cupcakes. Nom nom. Later on my cousins Claire and Ian came round along with Claire's boyfriend, Jason and their daughter Emma and baby Jamie. Jamie is very, very cute. My mum had brought him a book for xmas that made animal noises. He seemed to LOVE pressing the cat button! Probably because he has a cat at home! Well, half cat, half wild animal, literally! Ian had a go in my gaming chair and Uncharted 2 he seemed to like it. Dad is showing it off not me! He gets so proud of these things. I can tell he wants one for himself. Everyone stayed for a bit, the men were in the gaming room and the women were playing with the baby. Typical! Well I switched between rooms to be honest. But seeing Jamie just made me really want to see Martyn's Wren for some reason! Anyway it was quite funny when they all left because Jason went round with the baby and said "Who wants to kiss my baby?" so we...all did! Bless. And no, I don't want one, at least not for a very long time!

My auntie, uncle and grandparents stayed for a bit longer. We all played a Buzz quiz which was fun, I of course won. I'm too quick for anyone else! All in all, it was a good evening and it was surprisingly nice to see my cousins. Jason and Ian are quite cool I suppose. They are both game designers and Ian looks like a 6ft 3" Jesus and no, I'm not kidding he actually does! He gets called the Wizard at work...and you wonder why my family is odd! Well okay...you wonder why I'm odd!!! It's obviously in the genes somewhere...
Now I'm working everyday until friday then it's one more saturday of work and I'm done. I cannot wait to finish I am knackered from work and fed up of the customers. The money will hopefully be worth it. It had better be. Then I'll have to get on with Uni work, hand that in by the 14th and then I shall do nothing but game!
