Let's go through an itinerary, shall we?

6:00- Grandparents arrive. Chat. Talk about how they almost bought the same shirt he's wearing for his birthday, and ha ha ha isn't that hilarious.
6:00:30- I grab some chips and a Sprite, disappear upstairs to talk to Star about how the apocalypse is imminent and we're all going to die, AKA a dinner party.
6:10- My cousins arrive, Christina comes upstairs. We discuss if she's drunk, high, stoned, or some combination of it all, and then she can't figure out how to unhook my sunglasses so she can try them on. Tries tilting her head back and forth to see how it changes. Talks about the 'best idea ever' in which she put a lampshade on her head. Concedes that she's probably insane.
6:20- Christina goes downstairs to talk to my brother, and the floors are already throbbing and I'm about two floors on top of them. Probably not much of a talk.
6:54- Called for dinner. Grandmother yells. Mother talks about how it's all Sam's fault if the food gets closed. Sam looks extremely confused. James decides he's a girl.
7:00- James disappears downstairs to 'find something' and doesn't come back, after he tries to get a soda can to float in a glass of water. He can.
7:10- James returns with my father. While Sam talks about cuisine in India, he tries to get away with putting his elbows on the table, one elbow, burying his face in the tablecloth, etc. Before he comes back, mother gives Christina his soda can and moves all water glasses out of James reach.
7:15- Mother tells us all to leave NOW because we are laughing hysterically. Grandma yells to wash our plates. Mother says not to. James says we weren't going to anyways.
7:16- James demonstrates centrifical force by holding a crystal heirloom glass with ice and lemonade in it, and spinning it around /real fast/.
7:17- I return upstairs the long way, smuggling a soda. There are noises from downstairs that suggest my brother has just fallen down the basement steps. There are noises from my mother- "He's full of bologna" and noises that suggest that she is perhaps pouring herself another glass of wine or in dire need of one.
7:28- My cousin talks about leaving early. I say I would, except it's my house.
7:29- I resort to playing RENT and AC/DC, possibly with Rolling Stones, the songs with the most profanity, as they seem most suited to my family.
7:39- My family's idea of social- Dad, Sam, the grandparents, and Mother are talking. James is on the downstairs computer. Christina is on study computer. I am on laptop in study. We are not talking.


More to be added later, because we are just that cool.
