So, I went away for a week to visit some friends. My parents had gone to Seattle for a business/short vacation thing. I didn't notice while I was away (I didn't talk to them much at all on the phone), but when they got home today, I realized I'd actually quite missed them. It's surprising, because when I live with them on a regular basis, they will ( Read more... )

Omg. I am SO tired of this "rishta" stuff. Who the hell are you to have SO many requirements when you've got your family looking for a girl for you? My family and family friends are hard at work for me and my sister. Anyone they hear that's looking for a girl, they call my mom and are like, 'can we show your daughters' pictures? The boy's this old ( Read more... )

My cousin's fiance is coming over tomorrow! AWKWARD

I forgot to add to my previous post, one of our family friends had a heart attack early this week. He's... probably in his early fifties. He has two little kids (ten-ish and five, I want to say) and a wife almost twenty years younger than him (a relatively normal practice in pakistan). He went through surgery the morning after and is in the ICU now ( Read more... )

So now she has to wait until that tiny, insignificant ( Read more... )

I am SO tired of my damned freeloading uncle. He's been coming over every day since my grandmother has been visiting this time (which has been since at LEAST October of last year) and he eats dinner at our house every night, as well as bringing his kids to eat and annoy me and my sister. Recently, he's been coming over in the afternoon to eat lunch ( Read more... )

OMG I am an aunt!

That just feels so weird to say. @.@

My cousin (the one who got married Dec. 2007) just had her baby today. It's insanity, I tell you!

So... I was working on an entry for a while that included a few memes and whatnot, but I seem to have lost that. Damn. Oh well, I guess I can fill in about my weekend in Kansas ( Read more... )

I just watched "The Red Violin" again and that movie brings me to tears. It's so wonderful and the music is so amazing and my favorite part is with Kaspar Weiss... I always cry at the end of that segment. I'm excited because I made my sister watch it tonight and she liked it, too ( Read more... )
