Well, another day with the family. Last night the cousins had a Mario Party. Pretty fun for family get-together standards. Today we went to a water park in Hawaii pretty fun too. I'm going to meet up with some high school buddies tonight, and sometime later this week I think everyone wants to head up to the North Shore. Looks like more Matsumoto's Shaved Ice. I can't wait.
I weird note, I have a 14 year-old niece, and she's obviously going through her adolescent period of emotional volatility and angst. I know I'm her uncle and I'm family so I'm automatically not cool, but she's using all this sarcasm and attitude to keep me distant from her, and now it's starting to get to me. I really just do not want to talk to her anymore. I don't know whether I should say something to her or just let what little relationship I have with her just whither away into nothingness. I only see her once every couple of years, and to have her just throw away any change of being close to her family just seems like such a waste. No one needed to buy her plane ticket; if she wanted to ignore us she would have had an easier time doing it in St. Louis, and then she wouldn't be bringing me down. What should I do?
