EMERGENCY: In the past two weeks, I've witnessed a woman doing Tai Chi twice while I was at work. It was really very strange but I couldn't make myself stop watching. I'm pretty sure my head was even tilted to one side. One of the two times I was eating a Dove Chocolate. The inside of the wrapper read: "Dance to music, even if it's only in your head." Needless to say, I'm 14.6% sure that these two things were somehow connected but I can't prove it.
EVEN BIGGER EMERGENCY: I feel as though I've reached a moral dilemma of sorts. As you all know, it's now just a mere four weeks until my family reunion and I still have much to share with you. Up until now, my blog/facebook has been a safe place for me to do such things...my mom being the only family member following. However, my cousin has just requested to be my friend and I'm now at a loss as to what I should do. The way I see it, these are my options:
A. Ignore her. It's not as though we have even spoken since the last reunion, 10 years ago. However I AM rooming with her for two whole nights in July and I'd rather her not shoot me "bad word eyes" every 2 1/2 minutes.
B. Accept her but put her on restrictions so she can only see my basic information. Which, actually, would probably just be more like a slap in the face. I have a friend who was put on restrictions once. Couldn't see any of the other person's pictures. It pretty much broke her heart. Do I really want to be responsible for such a thing?
C. Warn her and make her swear an oath of secrecy? However, in families this large, you know there are alliances. What if her alliance is the arch enemy of MY alliance and it's really just an underhanded scheme to bring us down?? I mean, who can you really trust these days?
D. Delete all my past remarks about the family and just accept her like nothing ever happened?
E. Send her a message in Yiddish and pretend like I'm not really me. I mean, it's not like we've hung out recently. People mistake other people for people they know but but really don't know all the time. Just this morning, I was driving to work and this lady in a visor walking a very ugly dog started waving and practically ran out in front of my car JUST because she was so excited to see me. Had I ever met her in my life? No. No I had not.
F. The last remark about the lady and the ugly dog was a complete lie. But it could have happened.
That is all.
For points E and F I just have one word. Phenomenal.
