Touchy Feely Cousin

Has anyone here ever been hit on by their cousins? It's a sick feeling really and if its never happened to you consider yourself lucky. Yesterday, our family had to attend a memorial service at an aunts house for my late uncle Todd. It was a big deal and lots of people attended. My brother Tyler and my two cousins Matt and Henry were the only family around my age that I was familiar with so I just spent time with them. Soon, another boy, some cousin Andrew, arrived that Matt and Henry knew. Andrew joined us. Andrew was a boy about my age, six feet tall and played football. He reminded me of J.J. from Good Times. We all talked and joked for a while. Then I noticed Andrew started taking an interest in me. (I had never seen Andrew before this, so he didn't know me) I kept drawing away. He kept complimenting me and demanding hugs. I was politely declining his advances. When the service was coming to a close, he kept talking of getting everyone's phone numbers. Blindly enough, when he needed a pen, I got him one and he copied down Matt and Henry's number. Next, he demanded mine. Thoughtlessly I gave him the number (there's my huge mistake) and he demanded yet another hug. This time, like the others, I declined and he started moving toward me. I ran one house down the street and he caught me by the hand. He yanked my arm and I tried to tug away but he used his athelete's strength against me. (my arm still hurts) He wrapped his tentacle-like arms around my small stature in a bear hug. I was helpless. Faster than I thought, his hands started to roam to the neather regions of my back. With a groan of disgust, I broke free and walked back to disbanding memorial service. As he started to leave, I realized that he had my father's pen. My father, avid pen colector that he is, is very fond of his expensive pens. It was a rare time he let me use it. I played a small game of Keep Away in which the pen was the object being kept away from me. I ran, in heels, up and down the street for the pen. Finally, after a significant amount of chasing, I won the pen back after declining yet another offer for a hug.

Falling Behind

I haven't written in so long. Time does get the best of me. I'm into all this new stuff I saw on the internet. This Postcrossing thing for one. I think it's a great idea. I've always wanted to snail mail someone for a while. It would be nice to get to know another part of the world through a native's eyes. (Native sounds so.... odd but that was the only word I could think of.) It would also be nice to talk to someone other than the idiots that live here. Another site I saw that was interesting was Bookcrossing. The idea with this site is to share books for free. You could leave the book in a public place for someone to read and pass on or you could send the book on a journey with members of the site. I don't think a whole lot of books would survive. It's hard to trust people so that they won't deface the books or keep the books. Bookcrossing is like the world is a library kind of deal. That would be cool.
