Too much is going on right now. Everyone is fighting, there's been yelling and screaming for days.

My family lived in Tannum Sands, a small town about 20 minutes out of Gladstone, but mum and Jamie both worked in Gladstone so they moved in here. That meant dad had to be the one traveling that road out to work. He died riding home from work on that road. Now that dad is gone, my brother and his fiance are trying to get a unit back out in Tannum, where they would have to drive past the site of dad's accident every day to get to work.

Mum has begged and pleaded with them not to move there, but Lisa (Jamie's fiance) isn't even prepared to listen to reason. She doesn't care that it upsets the rest of the family, if she wants it, she gets it.

We've just been sitting around at home talking things out for well over 2 hours, and it seems like things are a lot more settled between mum, Kira, Jamie and I, but he's stuck in the middle of us and Lisa. I feel sorry for him, but she angers me so much.

Things are so strained right now, I just want it over with.

Why didn't anybody tell me about the show "Ghost Squad"?!

Oh, that's right. It's an English show that barely anybody has ever heard of.

Anyway, I'm obsessing over Elaine Cassidy, and the way her gorgeous Irish accent leads me to believe that ordinary words like 'fuck', 'touched' and 'bugger off' were invented just so she could make them sound cute. Also, the sight of her in a police uniform (or the shower) is never a bad thing.

Elaine Cassidy played Maud Lilly in Fingersmith, which I am also obsessed with. I actually had my really homophobic aunt watching Fingersmith with me today and actually getting into it. Watching the lesbian sex scenes with her was a bit of a struggle, but we managed. I think this is about the 10th time I've seen it...probably closer to the 15th.

Anyhow, Ghost Squad looks pretty cool. I've almost finished watching the first episode, but I'm getting so overly excited about it that I needed to take a break. When it comes to cute women with accents, I get giddy. It's insane. I'M insane.

It's awesome.
