Roy was at the Manor again today and I woke up to him picking me up off of the couch by both of my arms and plopping me onto a chair in the kitchen. So when I was FINALLY awake I was staring at a cup of coffee I had unconciously been sipping for fifteen minutes and Dick was sitting across from me similarly -.-;
Dick and I had talked yesterday about teaching me some Judo and he promised to do that before I left, at least showing me a couple moves, but Roy wouldn't let us leave the table until we had both eaten an egg, two pancakes, and a cup of orange juice (ew.) each.
We finally went to a gym room with tons of equipment and Dick made Roy our dummy (ohh far stretch ... -cough-) for revenge for the wake up. Mr.Wayne was already gone to work (we only woke up at about 8am) so we had the gym to ourselves and Dick showed me how 'fall properly' so basically I got thrown around after watching Roy being thrown around for a few minutes and 'falling'.
He also showed me how to throw, by practicing on Roy first, and then practicing on me to show me how they wored and allowing me to pratice falling more. So all I did was get thrown around on a mat but it was fun xD albeit painful, my shoulders and neck hurt, so he's going to show me more tomorrow and then we'll practice after New Years
Diana picked me up at noon and I've been at the apartment with her all of today. We've prettty much made up and we're on okay terms but it's still awkward. She taught me how to make a dish called Lamb Fricassee which is traditionally part of the New Year's Meal btu she wanted to teach me how to make it since we're spending New Year's Eve with the Waynes. I asked her why she doesn't spend the holidays with her family like everyone else and she just laughed and said that.
"At one point I was exiled from my home. My mother and I don't usually see eye to eye, and besides. Ba-ruce (yes I heard that stutter) and Dick and Alfred and everyone else have become my family now, so I do spend the holidays with my family. And I am sorry that you can't but I hope you're enjoying the holidays anyways."
She rminded me that I may not get to see my family this year for the holidays I love the most, but Dick and Roy have pretty much adopted me, and from the way Alfred and Mr.Wayne act, they're getting used to me and I guess Diana isn't so bad, she's been a lot more understanding than I would have in her situation. And this is the season for second chances right? The New Year is a new start and all.
We ate the lamb and it was a little burnt (my fault) but it was pretty good anyways, she promised to tech me more greek recipes, I don't usually learn any from my mom because she's more Irish than Greek (Greek is fromt he Gods mainly, not mom). So now I get to learn Judo from Dick, Roy wants to teach me archery (mainly because he's bored I think), Diana (and Alfred sort of) is teaching me to cook, and Mr.Wayne taught me how to play the piano. :) Maybe in the New Year I can continue these.
I hope so, because I'm really enjoying this new family that seems to be forming. <3
I'm going to go hunker down with a book called ' Storm Front '. Part of a series called the Dresden Files, there's quite a few on Amazon's bookshelf :)
Night guys <3
