Belated X-mas Special: The Fraser Tribe vs the Bouncy Ball!

My family are absolutely nuts. Need proof? Here ya go!

For starters, my Granny Fraser - my mum's mum - calls our family a 'tribe'. Well, I say family, but the term kinda relates to close friends as well, so if you're in the tribe, you're pretty special :)

Granny also insists that my dad, my sister and I join her and Granda for Christmas lunch every year - hey, I'm not complaining, Granny makes the most AWESOME Christmas lunch in the history of ever. Mmmm, roast tatties XD

This year must've been a struggle for her, though. Not only did she have to cook for herself and Granda, but also me, my dad, my sister, her fiance, my uncle, his fiancee and her mother! I must say, Granny had the biggest turkey I have ever seen!

So after the lunch, we're all feeling a little lazy and a bit too full, but oh dear, Granny reminds us that we haven't pulled our crackers yet! With an epic, but a little half-hearted - we were all that full - struggle, we manage to get the crackers done, and oh no, Mick (My sister's fiance) has a bouncy ball in his.

Now, Mick is very much in touch with his inner child, so surprise surprise he starts bouncing the thing around his patch of the table. My Granda seemed to find this really funny and somehow ended up tapping the bouncy ball with a spoon, which somehow turned into Mick and Granda playing spoon-bouncy-ball hockey. Somehow almost everyone at the table got involved. It's weird, playing hockey with spoons and a bouncy ball turns out to be pretty fun ^-^

My idea of a perfect Christmas has changed these past couple of years; I really couldn't care much less about presents. What I love about Christmas now is spending time with my insane family... that, and Doctor Who!

Attack of the Procrastination

Hello, all! :)

I'm so happy about the end of term that I can't focus on any schoolwork. I think this is just one of those things that folk get when it's the end of the year, you know that it's almost time to put away the homework/uniform etc. and have some fun for a while and you can't wait for it to finally happen! So, I figured I may as well take some time from the complete procrastination of the past half hour or so to talk for a little bit ^_^

So, if you haven't read the little bit of info about me, my name is Tammy. I'm 17 (Soon to be 18... God, that's scary!) and in my final year of high school. One of the things I love more than anything else in the world is writing, and after reading and enjoying the blog entries of my friend's mum Lynne, I think it might be a little fun to start a blog of my own.

Of course, my blog has to have a little bit of a geeky twist to it. The title of each entry is probably going to sound a little bit like a B-movie title, there'll probably be a number of obscure references (I'll try to keep these to a bare minimum.) and hopefully there'll be a lot of geeky, silly fun!

Hopefully this dosen't get boring, and I hope someone'll get around to reading and enjoying this ^-^
