I'm seeing my uncle on Saturday :)
Gah, I haven't seen him since last year. He's really awesome, and is super laid back and always has awesome stories. He was one of my favourite adults growing up but I don't see him nearly as much as I used to. So yeah, I'm excited! I miss seeing my family members. I miss going to my cousin's farm and climbing up into her barn's attic to play with her cats, then collecting the chickens' eggs, and being afraid of her ostriches. She also had this gigantic dog named Gunner who was always wet and splashing through puddles, but he was also the only big dog I've ever liked. She had horses too I think, but I didn't see much of them. They were usually way out in the field where I didn't normally venture to without my cousin. They also had a pool covered by a gigantic tarp thingy that made everything in that "room" look green. It was really an awesome house, and the family were all so lovely and, well.. familylike. Big families are the best and I'll admit I'm sort of envious of people who have that. The last time I saw my extended family was at a funeral last October. I hadn't seen them for years before that. They hardly know me now and I hardly know them. It sucks. A part of me is a little frustrated with my mom for never making effort to see them. A bigger part of me is frustrated with the fact that that trait seems to run in the family. I don't make effort with very many people at all. I'll probably be a near hermit when I'm older, just like my biological uncle. My family hasn't really seen or heard from him since I was seven or so, when we all had a big dinner at my grandma's old house. Gah, don't even get me started about my grandma.

Thankfully there's parties and hangouts coming up. My becoming a hermit is years away.
