What is it about uncles that make them totally awesome? He calls and we just carry on the greatest conversations. It's like he really *cares* about how I'm doing and what I'm going through. I noticed he's always had that in him, but it's become even more pronounced since he's had kids. Moreso than with my aunt, from whom I always get the feeling that she's belittling me behind my back, tittering about me with her husband, and sharing what I tell her with her sisters even after I ask her not to (usually if someone shares gossip with you, you know they're going to babble whatever you give them). He's so rad.

devoosha, this might interest you: I'm looking into taking Intensive Elementary German next semester. I keep envisioning me eating brat and drinking beer. Oktoberfest. Should be fun. You gonna join? or you going to go all Cinco de Mayo on me?
