ugh, so i'm still here.
had the worst day EVER yesterday, as my father is devoid of emotion and is what we would typically categorize as an insensitive bastard, but today's been a bit better, i woke up this morning and got a taxi to the mall, on my own, and bought lots of pretty things. probably the reason i'm having such a good day is because of the lack of human contact.
i really miss everybody back in england though, how sad is that. it's been three days, and i'm really homesick, this never happens. i was saying to my boyfriend yesterday that the tables have completely turned, usually i regard greece as my home and england as my temporary living situation, but i dont know how, or when it happened, but i've fallen in love with england. greece isn't the same anymore.
all the people out here look at me like i'm a freak, and i'm pretty conservative when i'm here. my family is falling to pieces; my 49 year old father and his 25 year old wife arent even speaking, and my poor sister is in the middle. not to sound like a jealous sibling or anything, but she gets all the attention too, i mean thats to be expected, she's a cute new baby. but i rarely come ove, and i'm only here for a week, and my father hasnt even had a conversation to me. poor tania (my stepmother) cant speak english, bless her heart, so we speak greek, which my father is furious about as he wants me to speak english around the baby so she's bilingual too.
it's all very confusing. i spend most of my time hiding in my room, on the phone to my friends in england, and i had a bit of a cry on the metro yesterday, so it hasnt been the dream holiday so far.
and guess what? i just dont tan. my skin REPELS sunlight, i swear. i'll post a before and after picture when i leave.
last summer when we went to italy, everybody told me that i was the only person they'd ever seen get WHITER after sunbathing. no joke. i'm just not human. its the only explanation i think. either that or i'm not greek after all and my parents have fed me one big lie. i'm not sure which is more probable.
so this is a nice albanian gentleman who gave me a rose while we were stuck in traffic. usually they get narcy if you dont have any money but he just said, dont worry pretty lady, heres a rose to brighten your life. well he said it in stilted greek, but its all just as nice.
oh and here's my almost adolescent stepmother with anamaria, this photo made me laugh.
i can't wait to come home, although i have a photoshoot tomorrow so i'm pretty excited about that.
i'll update when i know more
