Hm. I just found someone on LJ randomly who is not only one of my brother's best friends from elementary school but I think is actually one of my cousins. Well, it goes something like, a few years ago Neil's mom married a first cousin of one of my dad's first cousins, on the other side. I'm not quite sure where you rank that, since it's like, my dad and my dad's cousin have common grandparents, and then neil's mom married a guy who has common grandparents with my dad's first cousin. So what does that make me and Neil? Probably nothing, although most families would count that as some sort of distant cousins through marriage. I dunno. Anyway, at some point I'll probably decide to add him as a friend on here and he can find this entry and comment on it himself or something like that. Also, the word cousin is really weird and I'm not used to seeing it written. Probably because I rarely see any of my cousins except through acts of fate.
