hey there, it's good to see you again

It's been weird spending so much time with my family recently. We get on really well, I think. Obviously we all have our arguments, and I have been seriously grumpy over the last few days, presumably due to a lack of drink and sleep and getting ill. Hopefully I shall improve my attitude soon. I want to, but things just make me angry quickly at the moment :[ But anyway... we are all getting on rather well other than that, and it's kind of surprised me. I guess because we're all good with having our own private time and space, but when we get together we can do it well. And having Barney for the past 6 months has brought us together more because we now do more things together: taking him for walks; all going to the vet together on the rare occasion that he needs to; playing with him and generally hanging out. I like how it is. We talk a lot more, and it's not even about things that really mean anything, but just being able to laugh over something stupid is great. I like that my parents are my friends. Particularly as I don't seem to have enough time to see my other friends. Life is strange at the moment.
