an intruder....
so my mom calls me today with some interesting information.... my cousin who is like 16 or so has been in and out of foster care becuase neither of his parents are suitable to live with. so now guess where he is living? in my room. the room that i so excitingly worked to decorate and furbish with my favorite things. the only thing i look forward to when i come home is my queen size bed that has 2 feather beds on it and its amazing thread count sheets and my down comforter. now i wil be sleeping on the couch. this summer i plan on moving to bend to establish a permanent summer and holiday residence.
ps. this also means that whenever my mom goes out of town for work no one can be there drinking because of the negative image it sends this troubled youth, my reaction.... he shouldnt be home alone when my mom isnt there, out of town or just at the store.

Ghey.
Sorry to say that I am horribly biased.
You see, I grew up in foster care as a child and now I advocate for people in and from foster care.
So, I don't want you to have to sleep on the couch, but I also want to make sure your cousin is okay and support him in terms of building a future.
How 'bout you invite your cousin to email me anytime...
