Chapter 2 (2/?)

Well, it's me again…

Okay, yesterday I wrote in here some facts of my life; like I said before my life is really amusing sometimes…I love my parents' friends…they are just like family too.

Uncle Raj is very different from Dad and Uncle Howard. He is very shy around us (by us I mean Mom and me, girls in general), but they are very proud of him. Mom used to say that he was completely mute in front of her, so it is really an improvement now…at least he can talk to us.

He is married too. Aunt Surya is very nice. She studied a lot of languages and Linguistics at college and works as a translator. They spent some time in India when they first got married; I guess it was something about the Indian traditions Yeah, she is Indian too and like him, doesn't like Indian food. She loves to read and dance. Last time they were all here she was trying to teach me some Bollywood dances, but I still have a lot to learn and it is very difficult. It is easy to learn Hindi though.

They live in London now but they come to visit us every vacation. They have a daughter Malika, she is a little younger than me. We are real good friends and I chat a lot with her via webcam ans skype. This fact always makes my parents laugh because they said that Uncle Raj was like us, only talking with his parents when all of them were younger.

Note: I don't get along very well with Uncle Howard's kids. They are kind of creepy. Most times he and Aunt Sophie come here, they leave them with Uncle Howard´s mother.

Although my parents' friends are all married and older now, they still like the same kind of fun:

They still play paintball on Saturdays. (The only difference is that the team is bigger now.)

They still love to play Klingon Boggle. (Okay, just the three of them when Uncle Raj isn't here)

They still love to watch old and new sci-fi movies and series. (And I like that too.)

They still love to play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. (I am still learning.)

They still love comic books and ComicCons. (Okay, so my friends are jealous about this. We all go there in the summers. It's amazing!)

It is hilarious to see them playing paintball because they get really insane and yell at each other…I usually give up with the rest of the "Junior League" (the kids) and we all sit on the ground laughing at them. Mom and Dad are the worst. The other players fear Mom; she gets really pissed when her team loses. If only people knew that among these players we have two Nobel Prize winners.

Now Mom and Dad…

Like I said before, they've been back together for years and we all believe that this time it's forever…

My dad is a physicist; he works at CalTech and won a Nobel Prize in Physics, of course…

To write about them I should begin in another place, in an old building, more precisely on the fourth floor. That place was the beginning of everything, THE REAL BIG BANG…

Dad lived in apartment 4A with his best friend. They worked together too. Uncle Howard and Uncle Raj were there all the time. One day, they heard some music coming from the apartment across the hall, 4B. There they saw a pretty young woman, who had just moved in. They were not used to talking to neighbors, or women. They introduced themselves and she was very warm with them. I still don't believe it when they say that they agreed to do her a favor and returned home pantless…only them.

Soon, all of them became friends, best friends. Okay, they all are still best friends.

It is really nice to have parents that are so important; they have a lot of titles and have traveled to places like the North Pole, Russia, England, and Europe in general. On the other hand I am starting to feel some pressure about my future. But I am only thirteen, I still have some doubts. This is normal, right? Maybe I should try History; after all I love to tell stories and I got that from my godmother. She is the best story teller ever.

Mom has a very special job, she is an experimental physicist. At home she is my mom and a wife, but at CalTech she is Dr. Leslie Winkle (she didn't want to change her name after marrying, she said it would affect her career), and I know that people are very afraid of her there, the grad students in particular.

Dad is usually calm; he has a particular way to deal with things and people. He is much more respected now that he won a Nobel Prize. (I was 8 then and it was the first time I traveled abroad).

Like I said before, during some years when Dad was taking care of me by himself, he counted on his best friend and his wife to help him. Uncle Sheldon is my dad's best friend, and he is married to Aunt Penny. They are the best godparents ever. I love them so much, they are kind of second parents to me. They have twins, Michael and Julie, and they are my best friends.

They live in a big apartment near mine and I study at the same school as Julie and Michael. Uncle Sheldon is, most of the time, a "little" crazy about almost everything. But like Aunt Penny is used to say, we love him just the way he is. He is a genius, really. When he and Dad try to explain the research they did to win the Nobel, we all give up.

Aunt Penny entered Dad and Uncle Sheldon's lives as a Cheesecake Factory waitress. She worked there for a long time, while she tried to be an actress. This was very difficult. When Dad and his friends were in the North Pole for a whole summer, Aunt Penny was here alone. At that time she started to write a lot of things, logs, short stories, ideas, thoughts, it was a way for her to keep sane and make her feel less lonely. She showed one of these notebooks to Uncle Sheldon and he read it non-stop, and said there was really good stuff in there. Aunt Penny was shocked; he was not one to make compliments about anything. So she made some contacts and in a few months she was blogging and writings articles for some girl magazines.

After that, she quit her job at the Cheesecake Factory and went back to college. She is a part- time writer and also a 6th grade teacher. Uncle Sheldon is so proud of her; even when he doesn't say it, we can see it in his eyes. She talks about her books and students the same way he talks about string theory.

They are very happy. They complete each other. Uncle Howard says that he still can't believe that they are together. They always said that Uncle Sheldon was a robot, who would never fall in love. They were so wrong. He is very caring with us, except for Mom… Even working on different theories they still are arch enemies. Okay, they get along better now; they can at least sit at the same table without arguing, but it's funny when they discuss stuff.

Mom changed too. At home she is softer, 'smoother' like Dad would say. They are always bickering in front of people, but when they are alone they are all romantic. Aunt Penny and Uncle Sheldon love to sing Brian Adams songs to them when no one is looking.

They are my real family, all of them. My grandmother lives away from us and she is so…so…cold that me and dad adopted Uncle Sheldon's mom to be like my grandmother.

So this is a good start for my journal, I believe.

I am going to sleep now because tomorrow is Paintball Saturday and I have to get up early be prepared to win against Uncle Howard's kids…
