Cousin Lovey Dovey?

Have you ever had a big -I mean seriously big 100+members- family and y'know sometimes you think some relatives are just family friends?

Hell yes I have.

Anyway, I think there's something wrong with my fathers side of the family. There's cousin x cousin love spreading there. Kinda weird when I find MY younger cousins crushing or falling for the best known boy cousin Leo. Personally I dislike that wanna be ghetto boy, but what can I say? He's alright sometimes. It's weird hearing my urk cousins -once or twice removed- talk about him like that... I feel I'm in an awkward atmosphere. Yet I am ashamed to say...

I've been in a much more awkward situation with this. I still can't believe I've dated a cousin who I think is once removed, unaware that he was a relative.

Yikes right?

I mean, I met him during one of the practice dance for the twins 15th. I did NOT know who the heck that kid was -oh wait he's 2 years older-. So me being friendly to whomever because I was only staying in Mexico for about 1 more month, decided to talk to him since he was sitting alone. We talked and talked and I started to like this dude's interests and hobbies. Sure I hated the fact he labeled me as an American High School Musical Disney Freak (which I am NOT!), but he was great company during the practices. Suddenly after the actual 15th party ended we started dating. How, you ask?

We danced. He was teaching me how to dance and I must say, it was great. Yet I am ashamed to say, I asked him out more or less during my lessons. Err... there is NOTHING wrong with a girl asking a guy out. So bleh! =P Besides ... I was actually kidding, but I guess he took it seriously. Oops; my bad?

So there was another 15th for my uuh; cousin once removed the following week, we talked, chatted and danced. It seemed that he was bothering my other cousin who lives here about me. I found it sweet since ... yeah. Idk, I just found it sweet. Another 15th party came. -Whoa, how many right? Lmao...- So let's see how everything was revealed, after the go karts -which I am now addicted to- we took pictures. My aunty began to get the actual cousins to suround my grandmother and soon I found (once my aunty wanted the cousins sons and daughters surround grandma) out he was my cousin once removed. HA! Didn't see THAT one coming. >>; Well I was pretty much shocked. I thought he was a close family friend, boy was I wrong. In the end we broke up. (:

He was cute, weird, and outgoing. A little bit too preppy for my taste, but he was very kind. So now ... I'm just warning you people out there with big families...

Moral of the story is ... if you meet a person in a family thing, ask him/her who they are related to or if they're family friends. I don't think YOU would want my kind of shocking surprise ... I mean if we have never found out ... what would have happened?

My moral of the story was ... karma bites back. ^^; I should have kept my mouth shut about my fathers weird family curse. Cousin x Cousin love? Yeah... /swt

Eh, was bored and he MSNed me so I wrote this. Haha; I lied to him telling him that maru was my new bf... i apologize to maru, but he said he doesn't mind. Hopefully this summer when he comes here he wont ... start something awkward. >>; I find it weird now /swt. That or i can TOTALLY just run away from him, but running away wont solve problems. ):

Oh yeah thank GOD Ramylle taught me the whole second cousin once removed thing or third... I'm not as confused anymore. I think...Augh! >___<;

I am ashamed to say this is my worst embarrassing moment of my life. Ahhh...

BUT I mean ... there is NOTHING wrong with cousin love, I mean ... yeah. You just fell for the person and it just happens to be your relative. Ah, I'm getting myself confused. @__@; don't hate meh. ):
