Nice day, all told.

Got up, got dressed, drove down to Newport with my mum and grandma to see my mum's cousins (yes, they're my cousins too, but...second cousins or something...but I absolutely love them...) So, got to see Brent, who flatters me WAY more than I deserve. He's a published poet and we have long intellectual fights. Aerin, who was my absolute favourite cousin for years, but has matured (:p) since she had a son. And Scott, who is probably my favourite cousin from that side of the family. He's a music video and commercial producer/director. And Judy, who's my mum's generation and quite fantastic. We spent about two hours sitting out on the beach, talking, which was really nice and relaxing.
Then, we drove down to Laguna for dinner and Pageant of the Masters. Sadly, the Pageant was not as good as it has been, but it was still fun, and I bought myself a couple of penguin art prints...
So really, pretty good day. If my brain had shut up occasionally, it could even have been a great day.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
