I do like my family. I really enjoy the company of my mother, brother and father. However, my mother and brother are a little emotionally unstable and so sometimes it makes it hard to enjoy their company as much as I'd like to. My mother has had a lot of health problems lately (turns out it's all epilepsy related) but now that she's on medication for it she's evening out. My brother is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He can be very pleasant and friendly and fun and then turn around and be absolutely nasty. That element of his personality is what I dislike most. My dad, on the other hand, is just awesome. He's a 100% solid guy.
I also like the rest of my family--my aunts, uncles and cousins. Some I like more than others--I have a couple of aunts that I never want to see again. My first cousins on my father's side are all pretty cool and my father's brother (their father) is downright awesome. He and I get along really well and I always look forward to seeing him--he and my cousin came down to see me here at Oregon State last spring and we had a great time.
As far as my other cousins, great aunts and uncles go--they're all very cool too. I've got a whole branch of family in the Netherlands that are downright awesome but I don't see them enough. C'est la vie.
