Went to a wedding with Liz. One of her cousins got married today. It was a lot of fun, as weddings should be. I also got to meet some cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Apparently a lot of them already sort of know about me cause of the wonderful world of blogging. It’s not like I don’t know this is open to the public, but sometimes I don’t always think about people I don’t know reading this and then maybe actually meeting them someday. So here’s a shout-out and a hello to all the Boltz and Bremer people that have or maybe will read this thing.
It was kinda funny today because several times people made comments to me about Liz’s family being crazy or wild, etc. Wondering if I could handle it or whatever. Part of that is probably because I’m really not into most music played at weddings and I’m not really into dancing. I’m also a bit of a quiet person and in large group gatherings I sometimes find myself chilling, sitting off to the side. A lot of times people misconstrue this as I’m not having a good time, I’m mad, I’m feeling awkward, I don’t feel part of the group, something must be wrong, etc. This is rarely the case at all. I am very content to just sit and not say much. I’m still having a good time though. I’m also not much of a chit-chat person and don’t feel compelled to say something just to have somebody talking.
So….I had a great time. It was great meeting and talking to people and finally putting faces to some of the people I’ve heard stories about.
Funerals…..it was my Uncle Jack’s funeral today. He died Monday night. This wasn’t really a big shock or anything because his health hasn’t been very good since I was in high school. However, it’s not like I’m not sad about it either. There was no way Becky and Andy could make it back and if I were to go it would pretty much be driving, then funeral then driving back. Making the trip not really worthwhile especially with some of the asthma problems I was having all last week (one reason why I haven’t been posting tons lately). Plus, Jack knew tons and tons of people and was pretty much loved by everyone so there were going to be oodles of people there anyways. I think at Thanksgiving or Christmas, sometime when we’re all back home, we’re all going to drive up and see Aunt Betty and stuff. I think she would like that and I know I would enjoy seeing her again.
It’s almost a bit ominous to have Uncle Jack die because all of my grandpa’s siblings are getting up there in age. Jack was married to grandpa’s sister Betty, so he’s not one of the Albas, but still, there’s a large group of people in my family that are all up there in years and I hate to think about when they’ll all start going.
So enough of this sad stuff. It was also homecoming this weekend and Tsaiguy stayed at my place for a bit. Didn’t really see many other people cause I wasn’t meandering around today on campus, but there weren’t many coming back that I knew about. Still watching lots of movies and trying to read books. Not much else going on other than same old stuff.
