Bowling...



...now can anyone explain to me WHY?What is the point of bowling?Who first thought 'Ah I know we'll take a heavy plastic ball and hurl it down a piece of polished floor, knock over some pins and then we'll do it all again...and again...and again.'I mean, come on...As you may have guessed I went bowling last night. And much as though I would have loved to have objected to actually playing - for 'fashion reasons' or any other reason - it was the one time when I couldn't get out of it.It was my baby sister's birthday which translate to the time of year when my family all descend on me and I play host to the event.She had decided to go bowling this year so I was in no postion to refuse.But PLEASE can someone explain WHY to me? It has got to be one of the most pointless, wastes of time I know. And jeez - why does everyone have to be so competitive. (Note: I do NOT appreciate being booed just because I still have two pins standing. Its not as if it makes any difference to the Earth's orbit.)Anyway...yes, sorry...rant over.Apart from that a good time was had by all (well apart from me yet again getting pointed jibes from one of my other sisters about my hair. - Its my hair and at my age I have earned the right to wear it however the damn I please)It was just weird. - Whenever I go out with any of my friends to a pub or bar or even just hang out watching a movie, we discuss music, writing, music, films, music, the state of the world, music and how stupid our politicans are...It was just a bit of a culture shock to then try and be part of a conversation that revolved around house prices, who has just had or is about to have a baby and the best kind of hoover to buy!For anyone who has seen QAF - and I suspect that is the majority of you - think back to when Vince/Michael went for a drink after work with his work colleagues...how it was a whole diferent world to him.That was kinda my thoughts last night.Sure my family try and talk to me but the minute I start on about music or an article I saw in the newspaper you can just see them glossing over...oh well...come tomorrow the status quo will have been rediscovered.

And I simply like bowling 'cause I find it fun :) I guess that's sort of the idea there, either you fancy it or you don't. Then again for me, football makes no sense whatsoever *lol*

Then again for me, football makes no sense whatsoever *lol* me neither!!!!!guess I'm just a rugby kind of girl at heart.p.s. - just being having a quick look through all the Danny pics you have on 'Parrell Lives' and wondering why I haven't come across your gallery before :(Think I might need to now go and have a lie down...some of them are so cute *g*

I have TOO many of them. For the longest while I had MORE pics of Daniel than I had of Darren (now isn't that freaky?), then the tables were turned.Enjoy though :)

I think bowling was created by highly coordinated people who are very good at computing angles, so that they could more easily embarrass those of us who aren't.Then again, I don't know why golf exists, either.At least you mostly had fun, right?

For the longest while I had MORE pics of Daniel than I had of Darren (now isn't that freaky?)Why is it freaky?I always had you pinned as leaning more towards the light side anyway...Or is it just that piccies of Darren are easier to get hold of therefore making your gallery all the more incredible?

So it's pretty obvious that there are more Darren pics out there. Well. At least it is to me. *shrugs* But a lot of people told me that they found it truly odd that I'd regardless managed to unearth that many shots of Daniel considering there aren't nearly as many of him floating around out there. I guess I've just found the best sites during my time. Who knows. Not me. :)I was the biggest darksider you could think of. When they were still a band. After that... I wouldn't call myself a sider of any kind, really.

So it's pretty obvious that there are more Darren pics out there. Just a tad few more...*lol* I think they kinda outnumber the Danny ones about 50:1 !!!btw: Just *finally* going through and double checking the fics you are still patiently waiting for...Are you ok to lift them from my site or do you want the html files?

The whole thing is just beyond me!Or maybe it was just that I would rather have spent the time in front of my laptop!
