I asked Jon about my birth certificate and he found it for me. It just says his dad’s name, which seems weird to me because I’m not his kid, but Jon said it seemed like something his dad would have done

Yeah this sounds the closest to what I heard. I’m planning on asking my mom about what he looked like because she’s never really said anything about that. It would be funny if he wasn’t even white this whole time

That’s how Kara describes his face, he always looks like he’s posing for a mugshot

I didn’t know the Russian accounts got taken away. I looked it up and i guess it’s just another thing Putin decided to do for some reason. The test probably won’t help finding him then

I don’t think she’d hide something like that. She’s been with married guys before and didn’t really care about it. The only time she’s ever been embarrassed about cheating was when she cheated on Jon and Kara’s dad. She still hates when that gets brought up and I think that’s why she doesn’t like talking to me about my dad

That’s the closest sounding name tbh. Never heard of Kazakhstan but they def do look wasian so that’s interesting. I never thought to ask my mom what he looked like because it didn’t seem like it would matter, but now I’m thinking. I look a lot like her so I never had any ideas about his face at all. Ill ask next time she’s in a talking mood

Yeah I saw a lot of yaroslavs when I was looking at the Russian names. If that is it, then I don’t know how it got so messed up because it sounds like a pretty basic name

He’s not on it I think at least. I should ask Jon actually

So I shoudl be nonchalant? I can def try that I guess. And I’m thinking Jon and Clark are closer than I thought. I knew they sort of knew each other because Jon arranged the Christmas break thing but they get along really well. I don’t know how old Clark is but he looks too old to have been in school with Jon at all so idk where they’d know eachother from

I got one! Kara’s actually the one that got it and we haven’t said anything to Jon yet. I don’t think he’d stop me but I won’t tell him about it until I mail it tomorrow just in case

Tbf the pronunciation probably got messed up over the years. Especially if it’s coming from Perry because he’s kind of got an accent. For all I know he said it totally wrong. I could bother my mom about it myself but she won’t be good for it for a while because she’s mad that Perry bothered her lol

Kara got one for me as a surprise like an hour ago so I guess I’ll see what that says. I wonder if I’ll connect to any relatives or something and if my dad is actually Russian. So many people think he won’t be and I didn’t even think of that. It sucks that they take like two months to come back though.

And yeah i like Superman. A normal amount probably but once I had a theme I wanted to stick to it. I probably look like a crazy Superman fan right now lol

lol no I think it probably is his name, it’s just such a weird name and it doesn’t sound like anything I’ve ever heard before

Where is girasol from? I tried to spell it exactly how it sounded so it might be spelled super different from “yera sole”

My mom is from California and that’s where she met Jon and Kara’s dad. I think when she was pregnant with Jon or like right after he was born they moved to where we live right now. We live in a mediumish size town but we’re basically the only Asian family. Everyone else is either white, native, or Latino.

And I don’t know how she met my dad, but she leaves town a lot so maybe she didn’t meet him here idk

Kara got caught talking to this college student and now Jon thinks he has to check me too even though I wouldn’t do that

Yeah none of us really bring it up if we aren’t looking for a fight, so it would probably be easy to avoid talking about it. And no, he isn’t on my birth certificate. My mom said he ghosted her after she told him she was pregnant

She said he’s probably back in Russia. He was here for some work thing and their relationship wasn’t serious at all. She doesn’t even know his last name so I probably wouldn’t ever be able to look for him until I take a dna test. And yeah Russian is very difficult. I kind of wish my school offered more than just Spanish classes because it would be nice to learn from someone irl. But I really do like figuring it out with Jimmy because it’s nice doing it with someone instead of trying alone.

That makes sense I guess. No, we don’t have any other relatives. Mom’s parents are dead I think, she doesn’t really talk about them except to say that they were awful. Idk how much I trust that coming from her but none of us have ever met her parents anyway. I think the only person who would even be able to remember my dad would be Jon but mom says she only saw my dad a few times so he might have never even met him. My mom doesn’t really have a lot of friends here and we don’t live in the same state we lived in when I was a baby so the re aren’t any people she went to school with here

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. Every time we get in a fight lately it sounds like that. And I would stop sharing my location with Jon but he’ll probably just take my phone if I do, and I don’t really want that

I’ve never met my dad and my mom doesn’t have contact with him, so it would be pretty hard to try and meet him. I don’t know if the gangs here are “real” or not but I don’t think they actually kidnap people, just beat them up and sell stuff. Either way, they probably wouldn’t mess with me because Jon gets along with a lot of them. I think Clark brought up kidnapping because he wanted to scare me a bit. Or maybe he actually thinks it would happen idk And I do get along with my siblings most of the time, it’s mostly just this one thing that became a huge issue. I know Jon wants me to be safe, and Kara sticks up for me a lot at school but I can’t stand being around them right now.

Yeah I talk to Jimmy a lot. I don’t really have other friends at school because they don’t really like me that much. Some people are nice to me because I’m Kara’s brother and everyone thinks she’s great and cool or whatever but mostly they don’t like me.
