Hey! Saku Chan, here! Can you guys help me out? You see, last night was my Grandpa's B-Day. Happy Birthday, Grandpa!! ^^ Lol! Anyway, so I saw one of my 'popular' cousins. She's actually starting to act nicer toward me. I guess we are all growing up. And I saw a couple of my other cousins. Well, two of my cousins (which are girls) started . . . .well, gossiping. Now, I'm not much of a gossiper (sp?) so I kinda just sat there (though I have to admit there was this one girl they were talking about and this girl really gets on my nerves . . .so I agreed with what they were saying T.T).

Anyway, this is where the problem comes in. They said they wanted to 'fix me up'. As in, give me a make-over. They wanna go shopping this Saturday and buy me some new outfits and get me some different make-up and a new straightener. Well, I guess that's all fine-and-dandy, but I don't wanna change too much. Especially since they wanna get me a boyfriend. *sighs* I don't really want a boyfriend YET. Someday, like maybe a couple years from now, I will want a boyfriend. But not now. And if I do get a boyfriend, shouldn't he want me for my personality and NOT my looks?

Well, my 'popular' cousin got on the phone with her boyfriend and started saying some . . .pretty nasty things. I was getting a little uncomfortable. I just----I don't know what to do. My cousins want me to change and start dating and all that, but I really don't want to. But since they're family, I'm not sure what to say to them. They're not like friends that if you seperate and start changing you can make new friends. They are family that will be with you until you die----point blank. So . . .

Any advice on what I should say to them (without being rude to where they'll hate me for all eternity)?
