!!!! I hope you got some good downtime! Also In other news weren't you the person going to newsies in July?

Okay so I live in the north the mitten state to be precise! Not in Detroit but a few cities away for easier reference. We have snow and hot summer and once in a while tornadoes but no hurricanes so yay. I wish we had more snow but global warming what can you do i guess😕 lots of water everywhere its so pretty. Anyway!!! I have a friend who I met thru another friend and the supernatural Fandom and we have talked for several years now. (You ever meet someone and they are so important to you can't really remember when you met them or life before them? No? Just me *crickets* ) we've talked on the phone which is nice I loved it but also you think I'm awkward online imagine me on the phone xD I have such bad phone anxiety. We'd talked of meeting in person, but life then the pandemic got in the way. But!!! This year it is happening. They live in the south. Which I've hardly visited unless you count florida (don't do it xD) the Mardi Gras state of Louisiana! Your American people xD there's the French quarter and such.

AND OKAY SO THEY GRACIOUSLY HAVE ACCEPTED MY COMPLETE AND UTTER ASTONISHMENT AND FASCINATION. With the singing stree snd the amusement park for non amusement parks people and THE ONLY WOODEN CAROUSEL that still runs!! And my excitement to go there as well as to several parks and museums. (I love history and learning especially about random things.) There's several museums I plan to visit like the pharmacy museum southern beverage and food museum the voodoo museum the African American museum and the southern Jewish experience museum.

I also want to go on a cemetery tour. I love exploring cemeteries the different kinda of stones the markers for different wars how some lived so few years*why did they die I want to know). The oldest stone I've found thus far in my admittedly limited area travels was from 1799. (Which probably doesn't sound super impressive to the French who probably have 15 or 16 hundreds ones but I thought this was cool)

New Orleans is pretty well known for cemetery and ghost tours so I'm in luck!.

Unfortunately they also have a million former plantation tours too which is just disgusting and wrong in so many ways. *breaths so I don't go on a rant* I have very strong ideas on how people of all races and religions should be treated and it sure as he** doesn't include disrespect enslavement or demeaning. (We are a love and respect everyone human or else )

On a happier note I'll finally get to hug Charlie in person!!! I'm kinda scared to meet their friends though cuz what if they don't like me :/ I'm pretty excited tho!!

yes this is me I am seeing newsies for my bday x)

Ohhhh that's so great !!! I'm super happy for you anon meeting a friend irl is the best feeling ever

When I feel too lonely, I like to remember all my cousins :) SO HERE I'M GONNA TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THEM BECAUSE I LOVE THEM A LOT AND THEY ALL ARE CRAZY TALENTED.

Let me start off with my youngest cousin, who is a year and a half old. I really hadn't met her until a while ago, AND SHE'S SO FRICKING CUTE. Like I know babies are usually cute and stuff but she was adorable and seeing her running makes my days. AND SHE SCREAMS WHEN SHE'S HAPPY!!!!! the first time I heard her scream I was like oh shit what's wrong then I see her smile and realized she screamed because she was happy and it was then I decided I'm going to love this girl for the rest of my life.

Then comes her older brother, who is almost 2/3 years old. He's pretty smart for a toddler, and he kept involving me in stuff like oh hi there you seemed kinda lonely so here have a duplo block. And obviously I always very courteously said thank you and then he'd get me even more stuff!!! He is also protective of his sister, he kept coming to me if she was in trouble or if she was about to do something that might hurt her (which happened a lot honestly like wow you have to always have someone supervising that girl) and it was so precious.

THEN WE HAVE MY FAVOURITE COUSIN SISTER (on the paternal side, the baby cousin sister is from the maternal one). She's gonna be 8 in a while and she is also very precious and adorable and naughty. She. Loves. Interacting. With. You. AND I LOVE IT TOO. She's really shy when she first gets to know you, but since I'm (hopefully) her favourite cousin, she always ends up hanging out with me at the end. Also, you know, girl solidarity stuff since I'm the only other girl on her and my paternal side. It takes her a bit to open up, but once she does, she's a complete cute little package of happiness to be with. Fun fact: she learns French on duolingo for fun.

And then we have my older cousin brother, who's 3 years older than me and is entering college soon. He produces music which is top tier in my extremely biased opinion. He is also very smart, much smarter than me, and is supportive when it comes to LGBTQ+ and the whole community. He is also very affectionate, probably the most out of all of my cousins. He's also cool and him and my brother get along like gasoline and fire. He has also taught me the art of vibing to songs, and mostly has the best edm and pop recommendations, especially ones that are in my native language (I suck at finding good songs in hindi so).

AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST MY ELDEST COUSIN BROTHER. He's gonna be 22 and we have a huge age gap but since we both are the older and more immature siblings, we get along well. He's graduating soon and is studying cinematography which isn't very accepted in society (cuz only doctors or engineers are important, the rest are disappointments) His work according to me is chef's kiss and I'm sure that he'll do great because he actually loves his stream. Also fun fact: he's the one who first taught me how to click a proper picture and he's always ready to teach me something new about photography :D

So this has been a cousin appreciation post and a reminder for those of you who have loving cousins to appreciate them thank you very much have a good day
