Just a picture of how cute my little brother is! Squee!
Oh, you want to hear about my birthday? Well, Mum threw this big party with all the relatives! There's Aunt Lizzie, who's super pretty and cool.
Mum's always awfully happy to see Aunt Lizzie. I wonder if I'll be that happy to see Eric and Nate someday.
The Altos came, too--there's Eleanor Alto, who's Uncle Edward's ex-girlfriend which must be
pretty awkward.
I spent a lot of the party hanging out with Karim, my . . . extended family member. He looks a lot like my uncle, but's younger--and a fairy! How cool is that?
Karim's younger sister, Sonya, is awfully pretty. That's Uncle Edward behind her--apparently he hasn't always been bald, which is weird to think about. He's still pretty hot, though--platonically, of course! (Ew!)
That's Jacob, Uncle and Auntie's son.
And Rick, his little brother. There's Garlan, too, but he has an awful hairstyle that covers his entire face.
Anyway, I celebrated my birthday at the end of the night, and here I am as a teenager! I'm not quite sure that I've found my "style niche" yet, but I'm still pretty freaking hot, huh?
Dad got straightaway to tutoring me the next day. It's boring, but I'm not really interested in anything yet, so I suppose there's nothing else to occupy my time!
Pretty much the only thing I do is cook. All I do is
cook, cook, cook! It's weirdly addicting, but at the same time you don't
want to know how many times I've fallen asleep over the stove!
Some nights I go fishing, too, but that's more for de-stressing than anything else. The water here is so cool at night: it's almost luminescent!
While I was slaving away in the kitchen, Aunt Lizzie graduated from University! She and Mum threw this party at Lizzie's house to celebrate.
(Note: Still can't get over how ABSOLUTELY FLIPPING GORGEOUS Elizabeth is!)
Dad celebrated his birthday, too, but he didn't get any prettier. Mum still thinks he's awfully handsome, which has to count for something.
My little brother, Nate, was next! Mum held him up to the cake on her way to work.
He's still a cute little kid, I think. But now he's annoying! Just annoying. Shut it already. Seriously! Grr, don't you know you were an accident?
My Cross cousins come over just about every night so we can work on homework together. They're all very smart, probably because Uncle Edward is a genius. Did I mention that his ex-girlfriend is his boss? Awkward . . .
Oh, and Mum had her birthday, too! She's still very pretty.
It's startling, realizing that she's so . . .
old. I'm barely going to have any time with Mum at all! I guess I'll just have to make the most of it, right?
