Indiana!

Whalp, right nowatimes I'm in the great state of Indiana...visiting my grandparents and various relatives. Dontcha love spending the last few days of a long vacation awkwardly trying to make conversation with relatives you barely know? It's probably not very awkward for them...but I'm just not too social. Top three thing I miss about rural Wisconsin...

3. High-speed Internet
2. Being able to go out alone at night
1. Good sense of unfriendliness in the community

I know my top reason sounds a little strange, but as I said I'm not exactly a social butterfly. I ♥ my friends, but those are people I know very well. I absolutely hate it when perfect strangers come up to me on the street and say hi and then expect me to converse with them. Doesn't make my day. In Indiana, that happens more. I think. Not to mention, the neighborhood I'm staying in is fairly poor, so there's always little kids running around. That always seems to happen more in poorer places. And they always want me to play with them. Grrr.

I also want to talk about my...strange cousins. Yeah, they're a bit odd. We got Ethan and Jared, twins. Obsessed with "The Fishy Dance" and Rihanna. And Isaiah, curly-haired devil. Ben, his brother would be absolutely quantifiable as emo if he'd put on some black clothing/eyeliner. & their hyperactive beagle, Jack. Then there's my brother, Fin...youngest of the bunch at nine, but thinks that being near the cousins just qualifies him to be even crazier than usual. At least we don't have the whole crew around...when the Germans show up, all hell usually breaks loose. Oh! &, almost forgot, there's Levi. He's only 1 1/2 years, but he's adorable. In my humble opinion, he bears a striking resemblance to Ryan Ross. He's already starting to pick up a guitar and strum with it. Not to mention the cello, violin, and drums.......
