Even if there is not a lot to say about me, there's a lot to say about people around me. There are my classmates and other people in my school, people in my other school, my neighbors, people that know the people I know, and the list keeps going on. But I think we have to go from the beginning. Let's talk about my family. One half of my family, my mom's part, the Guillermet, are from spain. And the other half, my dad's, the Gomez, are from Dominican Republic. So both were really different, almost all of my mom's part were rich or living out of the country, in that fancy places like France, Germany or Moscow. I have an uncle that lived for one year in Dubai, you can imagine. In the other half, the Gomez are really humble, except an uncle of my dad and my grandma's Mary sisters, excepting them, we are really humble in this side. We all live in considerable houses and join together in someone's house every sunday. I'm more Gomez than Lexy, she thinks she's super fancy and rich. When my mother started dating my stepfather she makes him buy her a 70 dollars dress that was pretty ugly. Well, like my name goes Marina Gomez Guillermet, I'll start with my favorite part, the Gomez.
My grandmother Mary married my grandfather Drew when she was 23 years old, they met in college, he was the youngest teacher, he was 28. They haved my dad first and then three girls, my aunt Winny, the second, my aunt Sierra, the third, and my aunt Odeya, the smallest kid. They are all really different.
My dad was really prankish as a child. My grandfather was once the principal in his school, he treft all the test and sold it in school, he got expelled. As a teenager he was a total womanizer, all girls runned after him like he was a piece of cake in a diet. It was like that since he met my mom, she was 23 and he was 30, he settle down when he met her. In a year of being couple they were engaged, a year later Lexy was borned, and a year and a half after that I was borned.
My aunt Winny is the ''richest'' one in the family. She's a doctor, so she is never good looking. You'll always see her with a messy hair and a long beach dress with crocs. She is really funny, and is completely fallen for her husband Rae and her three kids: Mia, Ana and Kent. They always have coolest stuff than me, like when Ana was 11 she has an Blackberry, I almost have a computer.
My aunt Sierra is not the youngest, but is the one with more free spirit than my other aunts. Her thing are wild concerts, parties, tattoos, making a rainbow of her hair and drink a lot of beer. She works in a Law Firm, which is hilarious. She goes in a classic grey uniform for office, but you can see tattoos scapeing out of her sleeve and her hair tips painted in pink, purple or green. Is fun being around her, but we are not really close, she is too wild for me, so she goes better with Lexy. She still don't have kids, a lot of posible husbands have passed by her, but never stay.
My aunt Odeya is the best. She's not wild like aunt Sierra, she is funny without being racist, male chauvinist or a bully. She reads like me and has traveled a lot. I like that she tell me about her trips, she always have an old or rare present for me. One day she gave me an Ambar necklace, she said that africans said that the Ambar get you away from darkness. She's married with Paul, a good guy, and have tweens, Norman and Shawn.
Now, let's get started with the golden side of my family.
My grandmother Sofia met my grandfather Augusto in a small city, Aracena, Sierra, Spain. He was a teacher and she was a nurse. My grandma is three years older than my grandpa, she have two kids before meeting my grandpa, Larry and George, together they have three kids. Uncle Path, aunt Florence and mom, Alice. They grew up in a christian church (not literally) so they were ''Angels'' for my grandparents. They used to scape to parties from the windows, my grandfather waited for them praying.
Well, my uncles Larry and George are almost the same, they both like to drink expensive wine and cannot be faithful to only one woman. The only difference is that one is more handsome than the other, uncle George looks like a spain man, but uncle Larry is more caribbean. George have two girls, one have like thirty years old, the other is just seventeen, they are Mary and Jean. Uncle Larry have three kids, Michael, Norman and Katy.
Uncle Path is the one who lived in Dubai, just like he lived in Japan, Maldivas, United Kingdom, Russia and Israel. He like to travel a lot, always by his own. We don't live in the same country or continent, now he's living in Japan, but when he come back he always have some gifts (Never the big deal). He have three kids, Madeline, Thomson and Clarissa.
My aunt Florence, she's a case, She is not cool like Florence and the machine, no. She is completely the opposite. First of all, she live in Bath, United Kingdom, ¿Remember I said this side was really fancy?, She is the fanciest person in all the family. Like becose she's borned and half raised in spain and lives in England she thinks that she have royal blood. She is gossip till dead, when she comes to my country (becose she's rich and can travel from europe to latin america and be there just a week) she likes to drink tea while she tells my mom all the hot gossip of the family, europe and all rest of the world, including royals (Spain and England royals) plus all the famous people. Lexy loves go to that tea parties, I like tea, but in my bedroom with my laptop, not with tight pink dresses and high heels.
We get to my mom, she is the little girl, so she always had whatever she wanted. She didn't grew an exact personality as well. Like she had lived compared with two perfect human beings she always wanted to do exactly the same thing they did, like that she was going to catch all the attention as they had. And, how the hell do I know that? I was just in the same place. She is always worrying about what people think of her, but she's not all plastic pink. She is really funny if she want it, she don't tell you that she love you, it's not necessary. You notice by the way she is with you, she really cares about what is important.
I never felt close to any of my family members, in the bronce side or the golden one, they never tried to be close to me, I tried to know them better and end up hurted. They are one of the reasons why my life is turning around, but they are family anyway. You have to love them.
