SCENARIO: You decide it is time to come out as gay to your brother. I suppose in this module it doesn't have to be a brother. Coming out to anyone maybe. I hold everyone by the same standards, really. Let's just assume it's a guy, though. Coming out to random guy called Brother for the purpose of this scenario.
BAD BROTHER:
Me: Brother...?
Brother: Mm?
Me: I have something to tell you.
Brother: *burps
Me:...
Brother: SO?
Me: So... can I tell you?
Brother: Whatev.
(Brother turns on television.)
Me: I am gay.
Brother: *burps
Me: ...
Brother: lol, spongebob's in a jar. bwahahaha.
Me: Brother, listen to what I have to say!
Brother: Later, sis. Imma go hang out with my bros.
Me: ...
OR
Me: Brother?
Brother: Yah?
Me: I'm gay.
Brother:...
Brother: LOL good one! *cracks up
Me: ...
OR
Me: Brother?
Brother: Yes, oh sister?
Me: I am gay.
Brother: ...
Brother: Well that's STUPID.
Me: ...
Me: :(
OR
Me: Brother?
Brother: Yes, sister dear?
Me: I have something I want to tell you...
Brother: I'm listening.
Me: I...
Brother: Yeah?
Me: am...
Brother: It's okay... you can trust me!
Me: ...
Me: *sigh
Me: gay.
Brother: WTF!!!!
*throws turkey
*turkey guts explode all over my new shirt
Me: *gasp
Brother: HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME???
Me: ... :(
Brother: HERE!!!
*tosses trays of turkey guts at me. I drop them and they spill on my shoes.
Brother: Take that to your lesbo cult!
Me: Brother, be reasonable!
Brother: YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.
Me: :(
OR
Me: Brother?
Brother: Yeah?
Me: I'm gay.
Brother: BLAAAAAAAARGH!!!! *flies into murderous rage and murders me with an axe (murderous, murders, geddit?)
GOOD BROTHER:
Me: Brother?
Brother: Yes?
Me: I need to tell you something.
Brother: Don't worry. I'm here for you. You can tell me anything.
Me: I... I'm...
Brother: Relax. I won't judge you.
Me: I'm gay!
Brother: !
Brother: Thank you for telling me. I'm touched that you trust me with something like that.
Me: Aw, thanks.
Brother: If you ever need to talk, I'm on your side!
MY BROTHER:
Me: Benjamin?
Benjamin: Yeah?
Me: Can I talk to you?
Benjamin: Sure...
Me: ...
Me: I'm... gay.
Benjamin: Really?
Me: Yup.
Benjamin: Wow.
...
Me: *long gushy rant about my romantic experienc
Benjamin: Huh. I guess I'm still sort of surprised.
Me: I haven't told Mom and Dad yet.
Benjamin: Are you going to?
Me:...
Me: Yeah, probably...
*long gushy rant about my feelings
Benjamin: Okay.
Me: You have crushes too!
Benjamin: Yeah.
*long discussion about Benjamin's feelings. Benjamin is surprisingly cooperative.
Me: Didn't you see *crush* the other day?
Benjamin: Yeah...
Me: Meaningful wide-eyed look (I'm very bad at being subtle when we get into conversations like this. I'm not trying to tease him or anything, but it really bothers him. I'm getting better at being more... considerate of my facial expressions.)
Benjamin: Bwargh! *punches me
Me: I'm sorry! I'm so so so so sorry!
Benjamin: *flops on pillow
Me: Agh Benjamin noooooooo
5 minutes later...
Me: So yeah. Yay.
Benjamin: Okay.
Me: Cool!

Benjamin is Birthdayed
Benjamin is now 9! Sob sob. Born at 5:12 (that's a month before the day of his birthday!) on June 12th (see!). Yay!
For B's party he invited three friends (Quinn, Julia, and Jack) to this trampoline place, with HUGE trampoline courts where you can just jump, or bounce up walls, or play dodgeball (on a huge trampoline), or shoot at a basket, or bounce down a trampoline alley into a huge pit of soft foam.
Perfect for Benjamin. We only stayed an hour and a half, but that was plenty.
Then we came back to the house. Last year Mom and I had made this elaborate board game type thing in chalk on the driveway, with squares telling you to sing, or act something out, or pretend to be a gorilla, or move back or forward a certain amount of spaces, or imitate Benjamin, or go BACK to the gorilla square. This year Benjamin made one himself, and scrawled it on the driveway, but it rained! :(
Benjamin was crushed, but he and his friends kept themselves occupied back at the house.
The cats had a blast attacking party hats and flying around in wrapping paper.
That morning dad had made blueberry pancakes, which were had with blueberries, syrup, chocolate caramel hazelnut sauce, banana and whipped cream. Yuuuum. At least, yum until the cat knocks off the top of the container and starts EATING them.
Today we opened presents. Mom and Dad gave him a cool digital watch (and not one of those bulbous neon clunky ones) and a wallet. I gave him some cat sleepover tickets and a cool clear bubble umbrella. Benjamin also got some books, some gift cards, and then (dum dum duuuuuuuuum....)
A solar powered H2o remote controlled car.
It's like, this car, that's all cool with green and white and clear bubble windows, about the size of a small-ish book. You have to connect a bunch of wires and tubes and stuff to motors and things inside. And then (this totally geeks me out) it came with this whole gas station recharging thing! Like this cool elliptical cylinder thing with a clear curved plastic window with a little H2o logo on it and you can see the little chargy thingy inside it. And then (this is so totally awesome) it's attatched to this little green wire pump (kinda like you see at gas stations) that you PLUG INTO THE CAR in this little valve you attatch.
EPIC. Then you can hook a solar panel onto the recharger thing. Dad and Benjamin and I have been assembling that nearly all this evening (with breaks for cake and phone calls).
YAAAY BENJAMIN!!!
Finally, In honor of the birth of my brother, I compiled some pictures of my little Benjamin....

Take Nothing but Pictures
 |
| Impressive rock formations! This is the lake to where we hiked upon our arrival. |
 |
| Granite. Lot's of Granite. |
 |
| This is called El Capitan. (Ca-pee-TAN). Expert climbers rope their ways to the top. |
 |
| Us in my bunk. |
 |
| Tree hugger! :) We are one with nature... somewhat. |
 |
| Squirrel! |
 |
| River/mini-fall! |
 |
| The surprising and yet convenient water fountain/sink thing. |
PRETTY RAINBOW YAY.
 |
| Somewhere under the rainbow.... |
 |
| The dreaded Mist Trail. Dum dum DUUUUUM. |
Behold the glory of Vernal Falls. It was rather scary, but less scary than clinging next to i
Benjamin next to the waterfall. FINALLY a railing! Bottom of the falls shown to the right. 
Pretty view. That little lump on the granite is Half Dome.
 |
| Triumph! Now it is time to head back doooooooown. |
 |
| Winding down with marshmallows. Tasty. |
 |
| All geared up for hiking the next day. |
 |
| My agony in the pebbly gulch. Notice the stepping stones that were like 5 inches underwater and thus COMPLETELY USELESS. |
 |
| B's chariot. |
 |
| Beautiful reflect-y lake. Photography by Dad. |
 |
| Marmot |
 |
| Mom on her perch. |
 |
| At the top! *pant pant* |
 |
| Benjamin sunbathes as he recharges. |
The Amazing View. Yaaaaay.
 |
| Mom and B tromp valiantly through snow and ice on the way back down. |
 |
| Benj and I are now tough, seasoned hikers. Huzzah! |
 |
| Benj and I are actually completely exhausted. |
That's all for now!
I haven't downloaded B's pictures yet from his camera, so I might add one or two pictures this week. Hope you enjoyed the pictures! I have a lot of other pictures from california, but I will save that for another post.
See yooooooou.
