fun for the whole fambly!

I lay in bed for five hours. I don't remember most of it, so I must've been in that wierd half-sleep stage for awhile. I haven't actually slept though, which is unfortunate.

At 10ish Mom and I are leaving to head up to Union City for the Carter family reunion. w00t. We're not even Carters; my mother's mother is. (We call her Meemaw. My mom is Mimi. My brother and I have always threatened our sister that she'd be Moomoo once she got old enough. She hates that. muahaha.)

I feel kinda wierd about it.. I've never been close to any of my extended family. It'll be nice to see people and all, but we have zero in common except for genetics.

As far as I know, I'm the only person that's gay and pagany. I haven't heard any rumors of others, at least.. that may just be a side effect of not knowing anyone very well. (I wonder how meemaw would feel about radical faeries. hahahahahahah.)

I think, as far as they're concerned, while living in Portland I stayed in the loft and Paul had the downstairs. Jobs and everything I can be truthful about.

Provided I stick to that story, avoid religion and politics, and make sure noone sees the pentagram tattooed on my belly, everything should be keen.

Ah, Union City. I have family there... most of them I don't claim because most of the ones left are "white trash". I barely know them to be honest. I used to go to reunions with my grandmother and my great aunt (it's their family, actually) when I was a little girl but since I've gotten old enough to not be at the mercy of others for things to amuse myself, I haven't gone back.

Of course, living in Northern California now kinda prevents it as well.

heh, yeah, 3000+ miles distance can be a deterrent to such things...

Thank the gods for that :)

My grandchildren call me Mimi. Everyone asks what that means, but I haven't a clue. I just decided that I would rather they call me Mimi than "grandma". Have fun at the reunion.

hehehe.. I'm not sure where the nicknames came from in my family..

apparently, on top of what I mentioned already, aunt Bonnie is now Lala. She broke the m-word chain. :P
