Dec. 26th, 2003 04:14 pm...and I swear, every single person I talked to asked about the earthquake.

I liked my cousin Ginger's boyfriend, Raphael. He is from France, and thus we bonded over music and food (apparently where he grew up there was a large North African population).
You could tell that in his native language, he is a quick wit; even in English, he's sharp, but really at a disadvantage when it comes to my fast-talking, punnish, silly-ass family. Oh, but to his everlasting credit, he was always game.
My favorite Raphael moment of the holiday:
"Where do you live?"
"Oakland."
"That is here?"
"No, this is Oak Lawn. I live in Oakland, California."
"Ah!"
I hope she keeps him. He's cute, too, in a balding, tall, broad-shouldered and thin-hipped sort of Gallic way.
