Ok this is the first time I really been home for christmas since I was 15 I think. I went with shimu to see his family christmas eve, since my only real family besides him is my daughter, my dad who is out of the country on business, my half sis who was with her boyfriend and his family, and my half bro who is CIA/SAD so there is no telling where he is lol.

It was my first time meeting his family. The first person I met unfortunately was his charming sister >_>, she was made of b*tch and only got worse as the night went on. The trip over was the first time I never used GPS so I was playing with it all night, like a kid with a toy lol. Our first stop was his unlce bob's. Most of his family was there and with the exception of his sister who is a lot like mine, the rest of his family was nothing like my biological family. My family is bitter and greedy, his family is warm and friendly.
I was super nervous at first, mainly because I didn't know anyone. His sister however got everyone's attention when she was complaining about not being able to use her moms phone to call her "other" parents. So I just sat in the kitchen with Mei. Richards aunt Margie and uncle Ron came in and started talking to me. So I told them about myself, army, private company, etc. So we started talking about one of Richards friends that was hitting on his boss with false teeth, now while there is nothing initially wrong with that...the guy is 21 hitting on a mature married women with 2 kids both older than him >_>. So Ron was talking about it with us and was like "Hey baby, I got some Sea-Bond here sooooo whats going on." I almost lost it. A little later on, we were talking about the end of the world everyone was worked up about. Everyone there was like well we survived until christmas so that's good. Ron said he knew the 20th we would be fine. We were all like why, he said he called someone in china thats how he knew. He said that the day before the world ends call china, if no one answers then your in deep shit lol. He went on to make more terrible jokes. Then Richards mom had a beer a being 1 and his "wonderful" sister jumped on her over it >_>.

Then we went to his uncle Mike's house, walking in the first thing that hit me was the smell of Marijuana. Surprisingly enough he openly admitted to it. He drinks and smokes weed and I kill people and enjoy it so I'm not exactly an outstanding citizen either ^_^. After that we started talking about guns, turns out he is a police officer for the city ex-Special Weapons And Tactics(SWAT) even, so we had a lot in common. He shown me his collection of guns, and I shown him pictures on my phone of mine. Then Richards sister started again about how we were taking to long >_>. Well he gave Richard 20 dollars for Christmas, and she got mad coz he didn't give her anything. This is after the fact that right before we went there she said she didn't want to go because she's only seen him like twice, so I can't imagine why he didn't give her anything.

Next we went to his uncle Steve's house, too many Stevens -w-. Anyway it turns out his uncle Served as a Marine in Vietnam. So I talked to him for a while, until once again his sister started to complain again. Our final stop was at his Uncle Rick's house. We stayed there for a while and talked about all kinds of stuff, when Richard worked at wal-mart, the end of the world, my job, how his uncle got up that morning and was like it's christmas eve so I said fuck it, I'm not going to work today. Apparently he is a lot like me, he works way too much lol. Eventually he sister started up again >_>. When we left was the best one of all, His uncle gave his mom 100 dollars for him, his mom, dad, and brother. Then he gave his sister 20 also. When his sister got to the car she told his mom that 20 of that 100 was for her even though he already gave her 20. it wasn't until the next day that we found she was lying. So aside from his sister we had a lot of fun especially for my first christmas with an actual family. His entire family also told me I was welcome to come back anytime I wanted and to consider myself family ^_^.
