I think they just enjoy seeing me be outperformed by my 8 year old sister (I didn't even find a quarter of eggs meant for me until they were practically pointing at stuff and saying, "LOOK UNDER/INSIDE/BEHIND THINGS!")
Hell, my sister took PITY on me and gave me sone of her candy
That's kind of cute, in a way.
>Implying that of the 16 children and more than 40 grandchildren of my grandparents some didn't have feuds and black sheeps.
^^^Wait, you're older than I am? (I've probably said that before but still)
And Icalasari is one step closer to being a protagonist in a moe-shit show.
Fun fact, leaving you window open on the 6th floor and not locking the door can cause it to be pulled inward by various changes in air pressure over the night. You have no idea how much it freaked me out today opening up to an open door this morning.
^^ Yes I am older
^ Explain how I'm closer to being the protagonist in a moe show?
Kihihihihi.
Just seen Parade, a Serbian film about homophobia and discrimination against LGBT people. It was great, and had one of the best battle scenes (no, really) I've seen in a while.
Because you're a 20-year-old male (thus easy for otaku to identify with) and have a cute little sister (who would generate lots of imouto moe and loli moe), pretty much.
Icalasari - a younger girl took pity on you for your lack of competence and gave you candy. That's like off the scale readings of moe-drek right there.
Or that.
WONICHAN-MOE!~
It's not a compliment or an insult. Just pattern recognition applied for shits and giggles.
Oh, my uncle made my sister cry by saying that we eat her pet rabbit every year for Easter then replace him without her knowing
Your uncle sounds like my kind of friend.
Speaking of silly Easter stuff, my brothers and I have a tradition of slamming one large chocolate egg each against our heads.
I'm not sure where it came from, but it's a lot of fun.
Egg tapping is the best.
"I will never be gender-specific with... 'her'." (in reference to a FtM transsexual)
"I'd call them my 'niece-phew'." (same)
Jesus Christ I hate it when my family gets together.
Oh, bonus points for my grandmother implying that a girl sleeping with a girl is not only bad, but equally bad even if "sleeping with" means that they literally are just sleeping in the same bed because they're sisters and very close with one another.
I like my family, for the most part. The worst thing that's happened so far for me was trying to figure out how to politely decline going to Easter Mass with my grandma without her seeing me as a godless heathen forever.
Also my grandmother implied that I wouldn't be friends with one of my cousins anymore if I found out that she's a lesbian. So either my grandma thinks I'm a homophobe or that I have some sort of incestuous crush on my cousin. Pro tip: Nope.
Incidentally, she's probably not a lesbian, what with having had a boyfriend for the past five years. But since she's now currently dating a girl it must mean that her entire sexuality changed or something and it couldn't be that she is/was bisexual/bicurious or anything.
As for being a godless heathen, I think my grandma already thinks that about me since I was interested in learning about the philosophy of Buddhism. Or something.
I really don't dislike my family or anything... it's just that they're really frustratingly ignorant and insensitive about certain things.
no such thing as bisexuality, you see
Pretty much everything: I've gathered: My dad is more conservative than my mom. Dad voted for Bush both times, Mom usually votes Democrat as far as I've seen. He doesn't like homosexuality, but I dunno how anti-gay or whatever he is. My parents haven't gone to church in years, but I think my dad at least still believes, since he wasn't happy when I said I was an atheist one time. My mom at least jokes about how my grandma must think my sisters and I are being raised down the path to hell.
My paternal grandma is pretty religious, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't believe in dinosaurs.
My maternal grandparents are much more liberal, and I'm pretty sure my grandpa's actually anti-religion.
My late paternal grandfather, who was a communist official, actually got in a real fight with my right-wing maternal uncle on my parents' wedding. Interestingly, my maternal grandfather is also a former high-ranking communist, which made his father, a royalist, consider him a disgrace.
Most of my family's leftist with communist tendencies (They even like Chavez and shit)
I'm...not much of a fan, but I know that them believing in something I don't doesn't make them fundamentally bad people and they're very progressive in various areas, if bigoted.
I guess it's just a matter of me picking my own battles and not really being in the mood to discuss social issues often, especially because on the whole, while I like my family, I don't like interacting with them.
My mother is racist, mostly in subtle ways. Implications moreso than anything. She has some degree of decency about it, believing in universal human rights and the like, but that doesn't prevent her from having some racist points of view whether she knows about it or not. My father seems much more even-minded, although he doesn't talk about his political views much.
Both vote labour -- what most of you would call "liberal" or "democrat" -- as far back as I can remember. I essentially do the same, lesser evil and all that, even though I'm unhappy with both parties. Australia has compulsory voting, so I'd rather my vote made a difference. On the other hand, the labour government is technophobic and more interested in turning Australia into a paranoid, nanny state.
At least they didn't want to take away my porn -- but we still got the ban of small-breasted women in the genre, if I recall. Not that it'd made a difference, because I don't think I've ever even seen Australian porn. Nor would I be interested, given that Australian accents sound hilarious to me in an external sense. The Melbourne accent bears relation to the stereotypical one, but it also has more "foreign" elements, with more of the English accent and, perplexingly, American bits and pieces. The north east is where you go for the "traditional" Australian accent, and sometimes I have trouble taking people seriously up there. Especially when they threaten to throw a shrimp on the barbie.
Wow, I spent a lot of this post talking about porn and Australian accents. Apologies to Nova and Legionairre, whose voices may well sound very amusing to me. I am, of course, blind to my own accent. If there's a "do I really sound like that?" moment down the track, at least I saw it coming.
