I'm starting to think dad needs a new hobby. He's taken to buying up all the movie rights to Ashley Carrey's movies, as opposed to just renting them, and has then sat through each and every one of them. Fortunately he hasn't made me watch them. Maya has watched a few with him, but then stopped as she didn't like him always criticizing Carrey's performances. He's even written and published a few scathing reviews of the newer ones. Of course that has gotten Maya nearly in tears, she doesn't want to hear bad things about her idol/crush.

She complained to uncle Ash, but honestly once dad has gotten his head in gear for something there really isn't anything you can do to stop him.

Teenage heartthrob he may be, Carrey is apparently quite the womanizing jerk in real life. He threw quite the fit when he didn't get nominated for an Academy Award for "Golem Love" where he played a golem who learned how to love - As the title suggests. Which set the fandom off as well. He's got quite the loyal following, I'll have to give him that. Fortunately, in my opinion, he didn't get nominated for the award despite the tantrum. Or maybe because of the tantrum.

His new movie is supposedly a serious period drama piece where he plays Ashton Clayton (heh, weird that their names are similar) the man who helped develop the town of Ashville in Ohio and saved it from being ravaged by Indians and their spirits.

I really hope Maya doesn't want me to go with her for that one.

I was thinking about my eighteenth birthday just the other day. I think it was because Alec just turned eighteen. Rhys got a hold of his birth certificate which indicated that yes, he wasn't twenty one like he said he was. We threw him a nice birthday party, which I think is the first one he's had in a long while. I know that he probably would have never thought that he'd get a car for his birthday. That was Enne's idea. I got him a practical car, Saturn hybrid, instead of a sports car. I'm not going to spend a ton of money on the kid. Adrian got him an empty spell book so he could start writing in his own spells.

That, I think was his favorite present. He really is attached to Adrian.

Veena gave him a dead mouse in his shoe. Cats.

Anyway, birthday ruminations. My own eighteenth birthday I could have died. My people, the children of the gods, take a test on their eighteenth birthday to see if they can become a god. They don't have to take the test. If they don't, they stay mortal. If they do, they could die. My father had seven siblings. All of them took the test. Only he and my uncle Ash survived. Needless to say there was a lot of pressure.

I took the test. I survived the test. I didn't become a god. The god of the undead is still around and there can't be two of them. Which means that I have a brother who is still alive and hasn't passed on into the beyond.

Father won't talk about it. Uncle Ash won't talk about it. I don't even know his name, how old he is, nothing. Just that he exists. I've lived my entire life as an only child. The idea of having a sibling fascinates me. I see Enne with Adrian and Anna and then the twins, Kale and Trever, how close they are. There are things they have, experiences they share, that even though they're all different from each other they have a bond of something.

It's like a secret society that I can never belong to. Mentions of things that aren't supposed to be brought up. Just things.

I'm jealous, I guess. And then, to have a brother with no way of finding him... makes it just worse.
