Feb. 10th, 2005 09:57 pmTomorrow, I meet Phill. Saturday is probably the wake. Sunday, Chinese New Year. Monday and Tuesday, Valentine's Day stuff. Wednesday, a trip to Stony Brook that should last until the weekend. Maybe Alex will come with me. Next weekend, I don't know... maybe I'll go hang out with Lynda. Haven't bothered her in a while.
So, yesterday, I got a new baby cousin, who, as far as I know, still has no name. His (the baby's) father and grandmother (not mother and son) are fighting, which is always fun, you know? I don't know why the grandmother wants in. She already named her kids. She's had problems with Alvin (my first cousin, the baby's father) since Day One, and from what I can get from what I know about this woman, she's psycho.
'bout halfway done with Piece Two. I'll take a break this weekend and pick it back up when I go to Stony Brook (though I doubt I'll get much accomplished there).
I'm confused about something and I have no one to whine to about it because no one would understand it. And the one person who would is... unavailable at the moment. I need more friends, I think. More friends that are interested in the same things that I am, anyway.
Relatedly, I've been working on a family tree. And no matter how many different ways I try to do something, I can't fit everyone in. See, everyone who's in the same generation is supposed to be on the same horizontal line. Moms are all supposed to be on one side, dads on the other (so that if you trace all the way up the right side of the tree, you get your dad's dad's dad's dad... etc. or your mom's mom's mom's mom... something like that, but never your paternal grandmother, if you follow what I'm saying, which you might not so I'm going to close the parentheses ... now). Siblings should be kept in birth order, left to right. No matter how hard I try to follow those three rules, I can't fit certain people in without crossing lines or sticking in a half-gen, or a footnote, switching around a mom and dad (so that you WOULD find your paternal grandmother up one side of the tree)... it's awful. The best I can get, cleanly, of the twenty-six people I have to place, is twenty-one, but mostly because those are direct ancestors. It's so frustrating! Oh well. I'll think of something... by July. >.>;;;
Happy 18th birthday, Joe! ^_^ You're finally a grown-up!!
