Chinese Food and Family

         Today we celebrated my dad's birthday. He turns seventy one today. It's kind of crazy. Most people's grandparents are that age but here comes my dad, still kicking. He has still looked lively and healthy all these years. He hasn't really changed although he has shrunk from age, as has my mom. We went to this old restaurant just across the street from our house that has been there for ages. I for one was just ready to have real authentic Chinese food just like the old days before I went off to college. Being in a college town means dealing with sad imitations of what is supposed to be Chinese, Indian, or any other type of ethnic cuisine outside of burgers and BBQ. I ate my fill and it was glorious. My dad literally ordered around twelve or so dishes and it couldn't have made me happier. While we were eating, the rest of the family that were there talked about life, marriage, and just everything to get us caught up with each other. One cousin is on her way to becoming a nun and in only a few months she'll be gone to Michigan just like that. I'll be sad when that day comes. I was considering telling her that I like guys before she left, because time with her is limited and I think we've become much closer over the years. Another cousin is pregnant and the rest of the family is absolutely thrilled. I was too. It'll be so wonderful and I can't wait. All the while, a television showed the Knicks versus Celtics playing and all of us rooted for Jeremy Lin. I mean, we don't love him just because he's Asian, but because he's a ballin Asian. Just talking about all these things just made me love these moments. I really do love my family and I really am blessed. After this, I went grocery shopping with the parents even though I could have done it alone. I just wanted their company, and this just really made me appreciate them.
         I came back today to college town in a more rickety van than the one I broke down in, and am just glad to have a car. However, it's that time again when I get super horny. Man, to be honest I kind of like being horny all the time but at the same time it's killing me because I'm pretty sexually frustrated. I really considered just jumping into the fray and becoming a horny manslut for a while because I really am that horny. I know it would be terrible for me since I'm not that kind of person, but really a future with Hand Solo is pretty unappealing and sometimes I think it's a better alternative than still being alone after all these years until I can really find somebody. In other news, I literally spent an hour on YouTube watching dudes making out. Is that still keeping up with lent since I swore off porn? In any case, I need to do something about this situation, because I think I hit a new low, but I'm not sure. I felt a little pathetic reflecting on all this. So obviously I'm the coolest person I know. I'm going to go bury my dignity in a place no one can find it now.
