Whee, Christmas. ^_^

Uhm, let's see. Went to a Family Christmas Party last night, which was cool and stuff. This is the side of the family that I don't really know that well, seeing as I haven't seen them but four or five times in my whole life (and the ones that I'm closest with aren't even here, now - they moved to Texas). Uncle Paul was cool as always, and Aunt Caroline is always nice. And I love Aunt Katie and Aunt Jeannie. ^_^;; I do get along with my cousins, as well, if they intimidate me a bit. O.o Mikey and Freddy are cool, though, and the Girls aren't that bad.
Plus they had good food (and brownies! With no nuts!) so that's cool. We also did a gift exchange game-thingy, and I ended up with a new Alarm clock and a His-and-Hers set of watches. -grins- I guess now I just need to find a Hers, huh?

After much Online Stalking Searching, I managed to get in touch with Amanda. I got her number from Sara but couldn't find their address, as my normal means of online info-gathering requires that your phone number not be unlisted (by the by, if anyone knows a way to get around this obstacle, it would be much appreciated). When I called, her mom (my old teacher) answered and said Amanda wasn't there, and when I said it was me, she was like "The Andrew?" Heh heh, I almost felt like a celebrity. Or something.

In any case, Amanda called me back at the unGodly hour of 11pm (that's 2am for you East Coasters) and we chatted while people were leaving the party. At one point I made the mistake of going in to say good-bye to my Aunts (I'm really only awkward with my cousins) and I got harassed for being on the phone with a girl.
^_^;;  People never grow up...

Uhm, yes. I forget what I was saying.
Merry Christmas!

Hahaha!

I find it amusing that that is the side of the family you know and see the least... but that's the side I'm related to you on. Stroke of luck that you guys decided to join us for those two reunions, huh? :-)

Paul's cool... I don't know Katie that well... and I can't place Caroline at all.

LOL Well, perhaps, I suppose it's rather a far-flung idea that you and I would have met any other way, but I can't really think of why we wouldn't have gone to the reunions - the ones we did miss were cause mom was pregnant and/or dad was out at sea. ^_^;;

Paul is cool. Katie's really nice (though her kids turn me off almost as much as Mark's older two, at times). Caroline, unless I have her name completely misplaced, is Chris's wife, and I then suppose the mother of Jason, Chris Jr, Kim, and Suzy. That ring any bells?
