Oh my god.

I'm in love. Not with a boy or with a girl but with a family. My family.

Peter and Elizabeth have created the most amazing family out of the ashes of tragedy. Elizabeth's husband died but she has a girlfriend and they love each other very much. Peter has one adopted daughter, Anna and one child he had with a woman who left him and he loves unconditionally and they just adore him. They have to be the happiest kids I've ever seen.

Peter has this adorable girlfriend who I totally dig. She has a cute little boy too, and his name is Caleb. He kept staring at my stockings. And there's Peter's girlfriend's brother David. He's a uni professor and he's so lovely as are Peter's friends Thomas and Robert.

It's a random and varied family full of all sorts of people. And then there's my family. Sister, mother, father. And there's no comparison. You know they say today that children fare better when they grow up in a home that has two parents, a mother and a father. And I just had it proven that that's not true (not that I ever believed that bullshite anyway). Those kids have to be the luckiest kids on the planet. That house is so full of love, that you can feel it as you walk in the gate. It's incredible. They way they look at each other...they way they talk to each other and touch each other and help each other. Everything and everyone should be like that.

I just got home from having the most amazing night in my life and I never thought I'd say that about having dinner with my family. Just goes to show you that when you accept people, they'll accept you and I've found something there that is more valuble than anything I found at home. Ever.

Why are you just disregarding us!? I think having dinner with you mum and dad is nice.

I'm not disregarding you, Bianca. You won't understand until you visit them. Come with me next time, please? I'll show you what a family dinner is supposed to be like?

I KNOW what a family dinner is like. But I guess I should come with you next time. I should meet them.

Try to sound a bit more excited on the actual night or I'll kick you very very hard.

I'm so glad you had a good time with Peter and everyone! They really are brilliant :D I don't know David very well, but he seems like a very lovely man. And I really love Peter's girls, too!

I am sure that you will get to spend a lot more time with them. Peter does love his family very much, and I can just imagine the wonderful times with you all now :)

I just loved how so many seeming random people could come together to make something so incredible. I loved it. You were so right, everyone was just so lovely.

Also, my cousin Elizabeth MIGHT be the best cook on the planet.

Elizabeth is a very good cook! But Deirdre is very good also! She is somehow able to feed a house full of hungry teenagers almost every night, on top of everything else she does, and still makes it taste delicious! It is quite amazing how much that girl can squeeze into one day!

But are they good pot noodles? ;)

They're...usually warm which is nice! I suppose it's good I work in a bar that has food, because then I don't try to cook and end up poisoning myself!

Yes, no poisoning you! You are too pretty for that. I will just make sure to never leave you and Renee alone in the kitchen together. She burnt water.

Hello, Slink! I'm Kat! I saw you comment on his journal so I figured you followed Gorgeous Hair here. Lovely to meet you! You should accompany Pierre to my flat this weekend for nachos and hanging out and movies and various crap!
