(no subject)
I'm leaving for San Francisco tomorrow morning. I'm always a little nervous when we go to see our Irish/Swede family...I'm the oddball black sheep daughter of the black sheep Anderson son so I always get shit from my uncles about whatever they can find to poke at me for. My Aunt usually shoots dirty looks them, she's a sweet heart. Last time, when we went up for my cousin tiny Grants wedding, my uncle Chuck said something so rude to me I almost drove myself home and left my coward of a father to find his own way back. I'm not known to bite my tongue and swallow my tears but it always seems to happen when I'm around them. I think mostly because I'm 300 miles from home. If it happens this time I know I'll snap, disappear and take an early flight home alone. I'm sure the lipring, being the most noticeable, will be the first thing I have to hear about...and then my lack of boyfriend that I put up with so much for and defended to no end.
This should be great. Besides having to deal with all that I think I'll have fun. Our whole family is staying in the same hotel, so now that all my cousins are older we can go wonder the city after the wedding. My uncle Paul has a huge sailboat in the San Fran Harbor so we are all sailing to Treasure Island for the wedding tomorrow evening. I've never met the Tolan sides wives but for some reason all 3 of the Irish side men married Vietnamese-American women whom I'm told are all extremely sweet. That explains why at the last wedding there were so many little mixed kids running around. So, I'll get to know the rest of my family that I really didn't know existed. Then we are having a family brunch at some fancy shmacey place in the city with everyone...
We're flying jet blue back to long beach at 8...after that I'm suppose to go to beat it with the girls. Hopefully I'll have energy.
Thrice tonight!
