Meet the Family: Marcet Edition

I kind of like this division of thought idea. With the titles, you know? Especially since I'm long winded, but organized. Heh. So it's gonna stay. Also, photos to come. I just need to take them...it's a work in progress.

BACKGROUND ON THE BLOG:

So, here is the dream. I love posting stuff, because I have a semi-compulsive need to tell people about my life. However, I also don’t want to give you guys the impression that I have no life. So, I have to strike a balance. I’m going to post as much as humanly possible, without turning it into a Twitter. Then again, I also need to not post extremely long blogs. There may be no hope for me.
Oh, and if you are in my friend group and wonder why I’m keeping my language and content clean, it’s because my family is reading this blog. And because maybe I want a political/business/general career one day. You can imagine the headlines: “Political Candidate/CEO/Random Person Curses like a Sailor! Read Her Barcelona Blog Yourself! (link in sidebar)”. Yeah. For those reasons, this blog will be PG/PG-13 at all times.

THE BRADY BUNCH!

So, perhaps as you go about your everyday activities, you catch yourself mulling over the pivotal question: who exactly is Emily living with? Hah. Jokes. Well, maybe you do. So, I’m living with seven people: Sr. Xavier Marcet, CEO of LTC Project and head of the family, Monce, wife of the family, Gemma Avelloneda, daughter of Monce and the person who is singlehandedly making sure I don’t die in Barcelona, Nani, son of Monce (I think….), Marc/k/que (some variant of Mark), son of Sr. Marcet (I think), Juan, son of Marcet (again, not sure) and Ramon, son of Monce (I’m pretty sure about that one).
I kind of like the sound of that… Juan son of Marcet. It’s like Gimli son of Gloin. I might have to keep using that phrasing.
Okay, anyways, in case you were completely confused by that summary of the family (you are not alone. I myself have no clue what I’m saying), I’m gonna break it down by family, and put ages in parentheses for the kids:
Sr Marcet and Co: Marq/k/que (17ish), Juan (14)
Monce: Gemma (21), Nani (18), Ramon (13)
Basically, this is Sr. Marcet and Monce’s second marriage. As my dad explained it, they are like the Brady Bunch. Two families, lots of kids, brought together by marriage. This is I think how the kids are distributed. If it isn’t, well, I’m gonna be as surprised as you. At the moment, I’m going by familial resemblance. And who is willing to tackle who in sibling-like acts of violence. Aka Gemma stepping on Ramon’s feet for fun, much to Ramon’s chagrin. It was so funny, she’s doing this, and all the sudden he bursts out with “Gemma, you are crazy,” in English. It was so cute!!! Made me nostalgic for the days when I used to sit on Sarah…good times, good times…
So, breaking it down by gender, it’s 5 guys, 2 girls, and me. W00t.

PARTING WORDS:

That’s all for now. YES! It’s like a normal-sized post!
Just for kicks, let’s ask another question at the bottom, shall we?
What are you wondering most about Barcelona? Ask it in the comments box.
This is also a shameless way for me to get comments. As I said on Facebook, I am kind of starved for English contact, so I really appreciate it when people leave me comments, because then I can be like I HAVE FRIENDS…SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD! Just not here…moment of sadness…
It’s okay, no worries. I’m just gonna have to make like “Eye of the Tiger” and rise up, back on the streets, take my time and take my chances. It's a song, fyi. And I think the last part are the lyrics...I just killed the joke, didn't I? i need to stop doing that...

Peace, Emily
