purplehello98Okay, so my week itself was pretty boring, but I had quite the exciting day yesterday!
I started it off right by calling a certain someone, and that's all I'll say!
Then I went to a birthday lunch for a family member. Except I didn't know it was a birthday lunch, or that the birthday girl was even attending, or even who she was. Or half the people there, either. But it's okay! I did go into the women's bathroom and come out of the (only) stall face-to-face with my aunt and cousin (to whom I'm closeted--but my cousin is a high school art teacher, so I don't think she cares at least) and had to make some excuse. But anyways, beside that it was cool! I got to see #2-#4, and show everybody my pictures from Korea, and have some nice chit-chat with what family members I did know. And I had quite a good lunch!
I also met a new cousin--this one a second cousin--that I had never met before, but we clocked each other as trans pretty much right off the bat. Which wasn't hard, to be fair, as that cousin literally had a trans flag bracelet. But he apparently also likes K-pop--although much more casually than me--so I might have myself a new friend-cousin! Except that the cousin is young enough that it feels weird to be all buddy-buddy with him right off.
Anyways, after we all left, just the group I know (including this new long-lost trans cousin) all went to the Dairy Queen to get ice cream. And I realized my art teacher cousin--who I haven't seen in a couple of years--is kind of the spitting image of one of my good friends from college who's also a language major and future teacher. I texted this friend about this and she joked that they might also be long-lost cousins! Hence the title.
Then I went back to my hometown and Blue, Green and I went out on the town! As much as we could in this weather, anyways. We went to a little CD/DVD shop, a book store and a vintage store! My haul is a DVD of High School Musical, VHS tapes of The Muppet Christmas Carol and Mary Poppins, Julia Child's My Life In France, a jean maxi skirt and a cute nightgown! An excellent haul, methinks. We also had Thai for dinner and went back to Green's house, where we played Mario Party with his little siblings! It was a busy day but a really fun one.
Today was much less eventful--I watched TV and went to work--but oh well! I'm having a nice relaxing evening. :) I'll talk to all y'all later--toodles!
