so, talked to the family the other day. i talked to the ceiling fan for a few minutes. we talked about ny’s equal marriage policy (some in favor and some not - apparently i can get an accredited degree in gayness-acceptance after i finish this masters program). got to talk to my cousins chillins, cute but certainly their attention spans are as short as they are. most of them are gearing up for my cousin’s wedding. i feel bad that i wont be there, and miss them. but i dont feel that badly - mostly because i am in istanbul. but partially because i dont have to risk loss of sanity by being with those loons. (if youre reading this, i still love you - youre not crazy, just the rest of them.)
