the family unit was out in full force last saturday. it was auntie Geri & unkle Bernard's 25th wedding anniversary and the shindig was at a local lawn bowling klub house. i thought it was a wikkid lokation!! however this is a guerrilla first: being in a room full of gragos (eurasians) in the land of Oz!! meingott it was too surreal. what do gragos do when they get together? hmmm.....
let's see: the usual blend of gossip. a "lets get sloshed" sesh at the open bar. a tribunal into your marital status. at least one "pimp my niece" attempt to set her up on a date. dancing with an intoxicated grand auntie or unkle. decadent food & drinking.
there's the krucial linguistic usage of "daaarn laaah!!" peppered into every konversation & not forgetting the whore house wardrobe of plunging necklines & slutty dresses. bleeeah!! i felt so un-eurasian like. my konservative quasi asian tight arse self talking. but inspite of all this... i had a blast!!
sumtimes i wish for the patience & enthusiasm to meet the klan. its tenebrous when we exchange digits & make false promises to see each other sooner rather than later. i reckon most families operate the same. lip service sucks. but one thing i took home on saturday was my desiderata for the love that auntie Geri & unkle Bernard shared with each other. yeaah... a girl kan dream.
