Tonight I am going to Minneapolis. This is going to be the most awkward weekend of my life. My mom's father and step-mother asked me to come visit them there. They have asked me to visit them a lot in every place they have lived, but I always ignore their requests. Due to my love of traveling, I said I would come visit them this time.
The thing is...I do not know them. I am 17 and I don't know my grandparents. It is only 4 days, but they will be 4 days of awkwardness. I have to tell them things that most people know about me, like: I am vegetarian (so all those meals you planned on cooking, you probably shouldn't), and I don't like shopping (so Mall of America isn't going to get me too excited). I will probably not say most things that I should say because that is always what i do.
I think I am a bit angry towards them because of the things they have done, but it's not hard for me to forget that. I still like them when I am with them. I hate their past, but I like them now as people, even love them as people....but not like the love I have for my other grandparents. I like that she is an artist and I like that they want me to come.
I have one other girl cousin, and I think that they assume I am like her. They will just have to find out that I am just a bit different...you know, like I'm not a porn model or whatever.
BUT...from what I hear, they live near a beautiful forest with lakes and hills....my kind of thing :) so hopefully I can do some thinking, and be outside.
I am getting to know my grandparents now that I am 17, that's better than never knowing them or meeting them at my wedding or something....that would be weird.
