And to all Australians, happy Picnic Day!
eta: OK, apparently Picnic Day is only for Aussies in the Northern Territory.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I only have one first cousin. My father is an only child, and my mom's sister only has one son. As for second cousins, they're all older than me, ranging from about a year older to close to 30 years older. I see some of them a few times a year or so, and others I've only met once or twice.

Oh, Jesse, I hope the rest of today treats you well enough that it'd be OK for you to be there.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I have 38 first cousins
I have 32 on my Dad's side of the family. Give or take a few.

A few days ago, one of my second cousins friended me on facebook. I see her younger brother every once in a while -- he lives closer to my parents than to his own parents, so we sometimes see him at holidays when he can't get home -- but I don't think I've talked to her in about 15 years.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, thanks! Thanks, Nilly. It will be fine. I've already had one meeting cancelled today, so that's a start...

Punishingly Intricate
So funny you guys were talking about my friend's house for sale here over the weekend! It is super cute! And a real bargain.
I'm having trouble getting adjusted to this working thing again. Why exactly can't I be a full time rock star? Aside from only being able to stay up all night one night in a row.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have 38 first cousins, and some of them I've only met once or twice. This guy, I think, is from the family of 15, most of which I have only met once.
I have 52 first cousins. Both my parents were from families of 12 kids.
