I went to my Uncle Alan's funeral today, and OK it's a funeral, and it was held in a Church type place, but my god; it was like I'd been transported back to School. I learnt about the resurrection nonsense, and Cloud Cookoo land. If I ever have to plan a funeral I'm totally gong to have them talk religion at me, then I'll be so annoyed that I'll forget to be upset. had to resort to trying to decide if the bit we were in, was actually old, or new, made to look old (I settled on new, made to look old). Grrrrr. So irritating. My Nana's funeral was in the same place, I remember getting annoyed that time too, but in a humourous way. LIek all the heaven, and god's children way. But this was like a full on lecture. I had a book (bible type thing I guess) in my hand, and I really wanted to throw it at him, just to make him shut up. And that was wrong in so many ways. I should feel bad that my thoughts of my Uncle's funeral are not of sorrow but of- I want to say annoyedness but it's not a word, *takes a deep breath*, I should be grateful, the knot in my throat totally vanished. That shall be my silver lining.
