I have an older sister. She's four years older than me. Last night, we talked for 25 minutes - the longest I've talken to her since my freshmen year in undergrad when I was going through a breakdown.
My sister is uber religious. I honestly feel like Satan when I go visit her and Brother-in-Law in their holy sacred apartment. They are part of a non-denominational church organization that can fairly be criticized to be highly controversial. However, they are one of the most uber-nicest people I'd ever meet.
I'm not too close with my sister - I'm a lot more closer to my cousins then I am with my sister. I was kind of depressed because of that - I've always wanted the world's coolest sister. I've always wanted to tell my sister how retardedly drunk (and high) I got over the weekend. I've always wanted to tell her about how big this girl's breasts were that I saw the other day. I just wanted a "normal" sister. But I've come to terms - she's absolutely happy serving God. And if that's what makes her happy, it should make me happy. Brother-in-Law is an awesome guy as well - smart, down-to-earth, caring, selfless, and best of all, he's AWESOME in music. He was trying to show me how to play "Sweet Child of Mine" last time I visited them.
I don't tell much about my life to my sister - but I don't hide it at all. She's probably seen the drunken photos with "skanks" on my facebook. Well, to be honest - the reason why I don't have a wall to post on my facebook is because of her. Who knows what shit could be posted and the thought of my sister realizing I'm the next Lucifer kind of disturbs me.
For her birthday 2 years ago - I didn't know what to get her. I asked Brother-in-Law. He said to make her something special. So for the first time in my life, I actually put in some effort. I got a frame, and wrote a poem called 1/2 and 1/2. It's kind of corny but my sister and I had this thing for drinking Half and Half when we went to McD's (when I was like 5 and she was 9). The frame also had a picture of us when we were kids at the beach in Malaysia. I didn't realize it until I took a thorough tour of their apartment - but I kinda went "girly" when I saw that it was put right on top of her computer desk.
All in all, we're vastly different. But no matter what, I love my sister to death - I still remember crying to her when I was young because I forgot my lunch money and she would sit next to me in the cafeteria holding my hands. I remember when I fell down in a lake (in Malaysia) filled with water snakes, eels, and yes, crocodiles and alligators. This is the only memory I have of in Malaysia - her jumping off the boat to get me.
Anyways, THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS POST - my sister's having a baby soon. In a month. And I want to get an awesome baby gift. It's a guy, so PLEASEEEE... can someone give me some good suggestions?

Well she appreciates handmade stuff...you should get a baby book and start some of it :) Congrats on being a future uncle!
uhm... if the baby isn't born, how do i start on it? explain please.. *shrug*
you start a photo album even if you don't have pictures. For example, every page would be a new age. So the first might be for when the baby is one month old, sencond is one year old, third is two year old, etc. Your sister can start filling the album in as the kid grows older.
My oldest sister is having her first baby (boy) in June. I'm not really close with her either, and I have no idea what to get her (she doesn't like handmade stuff, I think). I'm thinking about giving her money.
awww isn't that something when you realize that your families' beliefs and lifestyle is the polar oppositve of you but you just gotta accept it and try to be real with them while simultaneously trying not to offend them with your own lifestyle. congrats on the nephew -- i suck at gifts but the baby book sounds like a good idea. maybe you could get your hand on a sonogram picture to start it out? or go the boy route and get him his firt little baseball t-shirt or jersey or something.
