there and back again
have you ever known someone your whole life but never really knew them? you would see them monthly, weekly, have dinner, ask how their day/month/year is going. Yet nothing being said between the two of you. most interactions are that way. you would notice if they got new clothes or changed their hair style but nothing more, nothing less. people talking, no-one really listening and nothing really being said. but every once in a while the timing is just right, the mood is set, and a great conversation is born! i LOVE good conversations... deep talks fulfill me more than... i had one of those with my grandma.
i could go on and on about what an amazing woman she is. everything about her is golden. although, if you would've asked me my opinion of her when i was nine it would've been along the lines of "she's so boring and weird. she never talks!!!" it's amazing the things you don't understand when you're little.
we all thought she was the lousiest gift giver in the world b/c every christmas all of us would only get a dollar! one DOLLAR!!!! we spent so many hours, so many moments over the years complaining about that! and then on our birthdays she'd give us a book!
what we didn't realize is that dollar represented something SOOoo much more. that dollar was a symbol of her putting over a thousand dollars into our trust funds every year! all seven grandkids! because of her doing this we're all able to pay for college. I'm here at UCF because of my "boring" grandma... who also gave us books to encourage us to learn.
anywho, there is much to this woman i never cared to know. and it's sad it took a seven hour car drive, from there to here for me to finally get to know this woman!
she's sooo cool. she has sooo many opionions i never knew she had. i never knew her mindset about things was so similar to my own. i talked to her about me being gay etc... and she was completely fine with it. only positive things came out of her mouth. and she actually was upset with my dad (her son) and his response to the whole thing.
there is much more i would like to say. but i will always remember the car ride that began with a common stranger and ended with a well known friend.
i moved my sister. urg... i was reminded why i hate moving soo much. but it was fun being the family. things have gotten sooo much better! the storm is subsiding, and now all i feel is love and acceptance from them. my BROTHER... yes my BROTHER asked how my relationship was going! i was shocked and excited because he's come very far.
him and i are REALLY close. but ever since i've come out and especially since i started dating our relationship became very rocky and unstable. haha and me wrecking his car sure didn't help... BUT WITH all bad things there is a good... or sumthin like that.
my parents are in Europe, England to be exact! so i have their whole house to meself. haha i told them if they see any iraqi looking muslim people... they should give them a big hug!
awww achilles is sleeping in my lap... *sighes* i need to get him cut before he gets all animal on me.
well back to Harry Potter. I've rambled too much!!
i hope everything is okay with you. i'll be thinking about you and your "visit" to the evil peekers...*winkwink*
