Ouch... I'm just back from a birthday party, and I guess tomorrow will be a hard day... It was the 20th birthday of a very good friend of mine. He invited all of us yesterday, because he said that at first he had planned to drink a bottle of champagne alone in his flat, but thought afterwards that he could regret it when he would be 60. It was really fun, but it was also too much to drink... and as you maybe understood I tend to drink everything that fall into my hands.
Damn... I met a gorgeous guy... He entered and I fell in love :D He was hot as hell, and after 5min he took his sweatshirt off, and wow... he's perfect, he's slender, you know, this kind of guy that is not too muscled, but has only muscle... :P well, I was looking at him all the time, I had had a few drink and I couldn't watch anything else. His girlfriend arrived a few moments after, and I was quite disappointed. However, I noticed that he was also looking at me several times.
He was with his girlfriend all the time, but after a while, I went to the kitchen to look for alcool, and he was there too, and we started to talk. He had smoked a lot, and had also laughed and talked a lot, so he had this sexy hoarse voice. We were talking, and I was leaning on the wall (as I was already a little bit drunk), and he came closer and closer, he was just a few inches from my faces, with his wonderful smile. We were laughing about random stuff, and suddenly a drunken girl jumped out of the balcony were all the smokers were and shouted "ahah! beware charlie, Yvan is bi!" and I was thinking wow, if it's true it's a dream! He looked at me and denied, but was well awkward... so I'm not sure it was only a joke... plus this girl know him very well, and she was drunk (in vino veritas!) so I'm definitely going to look for him in facebook and see if I can meet him at the university :P
God... I definitely drunk to much and smoked to much... I never do it usually, but I bought some cigars for my friend, and we smoked it. I'm not used to, and as soon as I smoke my head is fucked up.
I had a weird time at Christmas with my parents. I always make two christmas meals because they are divorced. So the 24th I went to my grandmother. This year everything went fine, we had a nice time, I ate far to much but I survieved :) The day after, I went to my fathers, at noon, and I hate as much as the day before, so I couldn't eat something else untill today! wow, the food was so good! We were talking with my father, and he said "hey, did you hear what the pope said about these fags? that was really good, he said that this stuff with the homosexuals was as dangerous for the mankind as the climate warming. That is so true! they are so pissing us off, fucking homos!" and my sister was "yeah, everybody is turning gay, it terrible, fucking homos" and my stepmother added some of her richest lexical inventions to describe all what she was thinking about that... and I tried to smile to hide my awkwardness, but I was so sad inside, thinking about how disrespectful and hateful they were, without any reasons... At this moment I was wondering what would happen if I would tell them? I don't know how they would react, really. I know that one time or another I will have to tell them, but I'm so affraid of what would happen. I already had a lot of conflicts with my parents, and this would be the icing on the cake!
Well, I don't know what will happen, but I prefer not to think about it for the moment... I don't have to let them know in a near future, so each thing at a time.
I'm going to spend new year eve with my best friend Maria. We are invited at a friend of her. He lives in the "castle" of his grand-parents, on the heigths of the town, in the richest neighbourhood. His grand-parents have the largest domain of the whole region. I have never been in a big estate before, because I don't know any very wealthy people. We will be only 3 or 4, and will have meal there and spend the evening toghether. I think it will be fine. I'm looking forward to get lost in the castle :) I love old houses, and to be inside one for one time will be great! He said I could invite a friend, so I asked Stan, but he's going to spend the night with his girlfriend. I'm a bit disappointed, but happy for him in a way.
This is part of the estate... rather well isn't it? :) I think I could land with my plane in the garden!
I wish you all a very happy new year, I do it know because I don't know if I will have some time to post something in between! All the best!!
Charlie

All the best with you too! It sounds like you've had a busy holiday (and one far more interesting than mine, both positively and negatively).
Happy New Year to you!! :D
what the Pope said was completely idiotic, especially considering that hes the biggest fairy of them all...but hey, denial is the key word here...what your family said about gays is sad but typical, they will just have to re-access their opinion of gays a little later in life when their son will be rich, successful, happily married to his handsome husband (in Switzerland you can, I am, remember?)
remember, "la roue tourne" they feel like they are all self righteous and powerful right now...they'll just have to wait and see, you, Charlie, will be happier and more accomplished than they will ever be
love and kisses for a Happy New Year from Xico
Thanks Aek, and thanks Xico!
I hope you are right :)
Sounds like a pretty good party. It will be interesting to see if the girl spoke the truth about Yvan.
It's amazing how easy it is for people to misunderstand the Pope. He never said what your father said. The BBC had the same misunderstanding.
Here's what he actually said.
//Weil der Glaube an den Schöpfer ein wesentlicher Teil des christlichen Credo ist, kann und darf sich die Kirche nicht damit begnügen, ihren Gläubigen die Botschaft des Heils auszurichten. Sie trägt Verantwortung für die Schöpfung und muß diese Verantwortung auch öffentlich zur Geltung bringen. Und sie muß dabei nicht nur die Erde, das Wasser und die Luft als Schöpfungsgaben verteidigen, die allen gehören. Sie muß auch den Menschen gegen die Zerstörung seiner selbst schützen. Es muß so etwas wie eine Ökologie des Menschen im recht verstandenen Sinn geben. Es ist nicht überholte Metaphysik, wenn die Kirche von der Natur des Menschen als Mann und Frau redet und das Achten dieser Schöpfungsordnung einfordert. Da geht es in der Tat um den Glauben an den Schöpfer und das Hören auf die Sprache der Schöpfung, die zu mißachten Selbstzerstörung des Menschen und so Zerstörung von Gottes eigenem Werk sein würde. Was in dem Begriff „Gender“ vielfach gesagt und gemeint wird, läuft letztlich auf die Selbstemanzipation des Menschen von der Schöpfung und vom Schöpfer hinaus. Der Mensch will sich nur selber machen und sein Eigenes immer nur selbst bestimmen. Aber so lebt er gegen die Wahrheit, lebt gegen den Schöpfergeist. Die Regenwälder verdienen unseren Schutz, ja, aber nicht weniger der Mensch als Geschöpf, dem eine Botschaft eingeschrieben ist, die nicht Gegensatz zu unserer Freiheit, sondern ihre Bedingung bedeutet. Große Theologen der Scholastik haben die Ehe, die lebenslange Verbindung von Mann und Frau als Schöpfungssakrament bezeichnet, das der Schöpfer selbst eingesetzt und das Christus dann – ohne die Schöpfungsbotschaft zu verändern – in die Heilsgeschichte als Sakrament des Neuen Bundes aufgenommen hat. Zur Verkündigungsaufgabe der Kirche gehört das Zeugnis für den Schöpfergeist in der Natur als Ganzer und gerade auch in der Natur des gottebenbildlichen Menschen. Von da aus sollte man die Enzyklika „Humanae vitae“ neu lesen: Papst Paul VI. ging es darin darum, die Liebe gegen Sexualität als Konsum, die Zukunft gegen den Alleinanspruch der Gegenwart und die Natur des Menschen gegen ihre Manipulation zu verteidigen.//

It hasn't been put on the website in French or English yet.
As I read it, he isn't saying mankind's existence is being threatened by homosexuals, but that homosexuals harm their own humanity. Of course, one may still disagree with him, but it's unfortunate that his position is being misrepresented.
And IMO Xico's characterization of what the Pope said as idiotic suggests that he does not know what the Pope said, either. It is quite reasonable, even if open to dispute by those with a different anthropology. And the hyperbole about "the biggest fairy of them all" betokens an unfortunate attitude, as it is clearly not literally true.
And I also want to wish you a Happy New Year.
You seem to be much more informed as I am, I just heard what they related on the radio. Maybe it has been misunderstood, partly at least, but well, it is not what disturbs me. What disturbs me is what my father said, even if the speech of the pope was misunderstood, it's what he said that made me sad. And what he said is rather clear.
Thanks for the wishes!
I understand your feelings about your father's attitude. That is really unfortunate and discouraging.
And that castle looks pretty spectacular.
