sister talk

jocelynceeI sat at home last night for quite some time, acutally working (surprise, surprise) and resting up a bit. I got more phone calls in one evening... four, at least. Of those at-least-four, the last was my younger sister, requesting tea and talk.
What can I say? We had so many years of antagonism or just plain ignoring each other that I can't ignore a request like that. Lots of time to make up for.
I went. We visited. After clearing the air of all the stress and general chaos of her day, we sat with our respective drinks and chatted about that most common of topics, our respective singleness. Or, in this case, current events that have the potential to alter, or at least vary, the singleness.
"Boys," she says, shaking her head slightly.
I nod with understanding. This is an old conversation, well trodden.
We trade names, a few stories*, and then laughter fades as the conversation wanders and dwindles into pensive, supportive silence.
It was not always so easy between us. That it is now is miracle to me.
*P.S. The pup-seal story will be blogged. I have decreed it so. As soon as she posts it to her blog, you'll know it here.

I know where I am and what I'm comfortable with. Thus far it's just been hanging out and enjoying the company. Which is about what I want now, and nothing (at least not much) more.
Heh.

Date: 2005-09-16 06:44 pm (UTC)The funnier songs are always my favorites (that one that's still in my head and "Koeln ist einfach Korrekt" are leading contenders).
Thanks for giving me the music in the first place. :) It really is fun stuff. *grin*
