I had quite a weird weekend. I spent both days with one of my best mates Kasey because it was her birthday and it was kind of an "early celebration". I had good fun though. She's got this huge trampoline and if you pull your legs up when you jump you can see right into the neighbours garden.

It was her brother Jamie that made the weekend weird though. He's the same age as Rob (17) and I've known him for as long as I've known her and he use to be best friends with my brother for a while. He's not my friend or anything but I do have his msn and I went on holiday with him for two years running but that's only because I went with Kasey's family and of course, he's part of her family being her brother and all.

He's been strangely nice to me ever since an incident on holiday last year when he picked up a hose pipe and sprayed it in my face, practically drowning me in the process. Although I like to think it, I'm not the type who grabs you and kicks you to death for hurting me or my friends, so I just kinda shouted at him and pretended it was no big deal. Karma got revenge for me though when it made him fall over a few days later when we were walking along the beach. He staggered to his feet and said, all embarrassed, "why didn't you laugh at me? If I was you I'd be pissing myself right now."
And I said, "because I'm not tight like you." And that was that. He was nice to me forever after that, letting me sit on his bed when I had nowhere else to sit when I was reading etc (that sounds odd but his bed was in the kitchen. Don't ask, the hut had a weird layout).

Anyway to the point, I saw Jamie again when I went around on Saturday. I was in Kasey's room and suddenly he appeared at the doorway, wearing nothing but a towel, obviously just coming out of the shower. Kasey looked up and it all went something a bit like this:
Kasey: Jamie, what the fuck are you doing?
Jamie: Drying myself. Obviously.
Kasey: Take the towel away! Go away! Get out of my room!
Jamie: Take the towel away? Ok then...
Me: No! Don't take the towel away!
Kasey: You never come into my room to do that so why are you doing it now? Get out!
And then then there was a very sudden, very awkward silence and Jamie just sort of walked out of the room. It was so weird. I looked at Kasey and said, "what was all that about?" but she just shrugged.

Then later on we went downstairs and Jamie was on his xbox. Kasey asked if we could have a go and she was really surprised when he actually said yes. I raced him a few times on the game but of course he won all three races. Then to make it harder for him so I had more of a chance of winning I said, "to make it fair put your arms in the air and play." And he did. I was actually shocked because I thought he'd refuse or something. He still won (damn it!) but it was fun going "oh Jamie, aren't your arms really aching yet?" all through the race.

I just think it's all a bit strange. He's always been the guy who annoys everyone and is horrible to everyone. I guess there must be some niceness in him after all.
