two days to new

Yesterday was my grandmother's memorial service, which was really sad of course but it was so interesting listening to everyone talking about her. A whole bunch of people mentioned her work in the civil rights movement, which I've heard about some but not much, and everyone said what a wonderful and full life she had and everything. I cried for the first time since she died.

I got to see a bunch of relatives, though. My great aunt came with her granddaughter, my second cousin, and my uncles and aunts and first cousins. A third cousin came too, who's just a little younger than me, and she's so hot, she looks exactly like Chloe Sevingy, I swear. I wonder if that would be incest. I mean, third cousins are pretty distant.

I finally got the Waxing Moon up today after envy.nu was down for several days. And now I only have 12 days before the next one comes out, and I have nothing yet. I'm such a procrastinator.

Jackie visited today, which was really weird because I haven't seen her for at least two years. Most of the time it was like we were 13 again, playing video games and talking and laughing, but then there were these akward silences that we never had back then. The other thing is that she kept saying "gay". "It was gay." "That's so gay." I should have said something, really, but I didn't, I just ignored it. I'm sure she didn't mean it offensively, and she didn't saying anything specifically homophobic like she did when we were younger. But it really bothered me anyway.
