today i learned that i have cousins in minnesota. four of them. one girl, who has a twin brother, and two older brothers. wtf! all my life i've always thought--okay, my cousins on my mom's side are all like wayy younger, and my cousins on my dad's side are all wayy older. but lo and behold, four living, breathing teenagers that are blood related to me. i talked to the girl a little bit.

gah. so weird. she didn't know we were related either. i don't know. yeah. okay.
