I am staying at my parent's for a few days and I really enjoy spending time with my niece, Liah. She is 3 years old and quite a handful. My parents and I took her to a wildlife park yesterday and I loved how smart she was around the animals. While other children her age were running towards them and screaming she was very calm. She even told one kid to stop screaming at a resting camel. She was all: "Can't you see he's sleeping???" So proud of her. I mean, I get that some children don't grow up around animals. Liah knows dogs, reptiles, parrots and cats and I am sure particularly the cats have taught her NOT to disturb them when they are resting, but isn't that where the parents come in? If I take my kid to the park to learn about animals isn't the first thing I teach them not to be a dick?
I have two new nephews as well, one is 2 month old and the other one is just a week old and they are both super cute.
I am a bit fed up with fandom at the moment. Some of you may have heard of the Hollywood Collector's Con in Tokyo. It was the big reunion of Aidan and Dean and from the fotos and videos and reports of people who have actually been there, it clearly was a fantastic time for everyone. But the theories of people who haven't been there just make me sick. Seriously. There was one person who knocked the nonsense and bullshit out of the park by saying Aidan was only happy and relaxed because he was on medication and is basically just a step away from suicide because fans won't leave him alone. She didn't use those exact same words, but that was pretty much the message. Really? Really, really? She deleted her post, but I can't unread it, you know? And I know, I KNOW, it's tumblr and i shouldn't even go there, but that is where the pretty pictures aaaare. :)
Anyway, on to part two of my meme.
