Normally, that wouldn't be such a big deal. But as of late, I haven't really done that. Haha, I just got back in the house, matter of fact. It was a very cool Seattle-like day today, so I went to the park with my cousin and her friend. We wandered around for a long time until dusk. Then we came back, met up with two more of my cousins, and walked down the block so I could meet some of their friends. No one out here believes that I'm twenty. And I take it in stride. Most of them think I'm between 14 and 17. They pretty much break their jaws on the concrete when they hear how old I actually am.
Anyway, we all went to a slightly bigger park at the opposite end of the block than the previously mentioned park (Kingston instead of Brower). This park has like ten basketball courts. So my male cousins and a few of their friends went to play basketball, while my female cousin and some of her friends went to play on the jungle gym. I was wearing a skirt, so I found a table between the two and took a seat. One of my cousin's friends joined me, and we were alone for about three minutes before they all came back over. It made me laugh. Like I can't handle myself. He's a sweet boy, but I told him I have a girlfriend. And unlike most boys he said "Good for you, that's cool." There was no weird swagger talk about how I need to look their way or how it doesn't matter to them. He was very polite, and he kept talking to me afterwards. We walked the others home and then me, my cousin went to the corner store to buy ice cream. A friendly stranger bought my cousins Popsicle, so I bought one for me and the friend. He said thank you like twenty times. Which was also funny to me.
After that, we went back to Brower park, so my cousin could play the piano some more. My cousin met us out there, apparently sent out as a "chaperone", because my baby cousin isn't enough to guard me from a guy I just met. Haha, he's cute, I'll admit. He's also hilarious. But we just met, and I doubt we'll get very close in two and a half weeks. In any case, he wanted me to be his friend on Facebook. I said alright. We talked while my cousin played, and my other cousin tried to create his own record of "not blinking". When they were both finished, we walked home, parting ways somewhere between.
When we reached the apartment, my aunt was coming out and beckoned us to come with her to the pizza place on Fulton st. They have $1 slices and pretty cheap drinks. The four of us had a good time walking, and we sat on the step for a while upon returning.But eventually, we did come back upstairs, blow up the air mattress and almost everyone is asleep now.
It was a pretty fun day. And tomorrow, I'm going to Times Square to see the lights and breathe in the city. I have a weird feeling I'll be spending some money... :) not that I mind. On Friday, we're hopefully going back to Times Square at the butt crack of dawn to see Ne-Yo play for Good Morning America. Best part? It's fuckin FREE. Yeah. Hella awesome, right? I'll take so many pictures, it'll blow your mind.
Well, I'm done now. That's all that happened to me today. What happened to you?

P.S: We had pancakes this morning for breakfast, and I forgot to take a picture until my aunt was like "These aren't good enough to take a picture of?" So I laughed and took a picture of her plate cause I had already devoured mine.
