Hrm, this year's festivities were dwarfs in stature compared to what last year's were. And even then I was complaining about the lack of participants. My step-aunt may have the reason as to why half the family was absent: "There's feuding among the clans." Funny thing that she says that because she's Irish/Scottish (and married into a filipino family? what the hell was she thinking?!) and yet it's true. All of my greatgranduncle's side was absent, so it looks like he and grandma are fighting again. Was looking forward to all the white/ghettofied filipino girl/boyfriends my older relatives would drag to the party... oh well. Gabbo and I will have to wait till next year.

It seems that everyone took a hint from last year and, instead of horrendous outfits, got me pairs of cute boxers. Now I have 5 pairs with Snoopy and/or Woodstock on the bottom! Also $150 from all the cards I got. And candle/incense from Sarah (who has good taste in picking candles).

Today was mundane. Just played FFX and read from DreamBoy (part of Karen's gift for me) all day. At one point step-cousin Joe (the "sexy one" Christy and Sarah would say) came over before being dragged to go watch movies with the family. Thing is, I forgot to take off my "Got Pride?" shirt which elicited an interesting eyebrow raise from him, but other than that not much else.

Now, gonna read all night long so that I finish my gift/book.
