Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Nha, twobit is probably overstating things a bit. Parent simply generate a specific amount of irritation. This may vary by time of year and similar factors but it is generally quite steady. As you get older you will start to get away from them for longer times. However irritation can not be disposed of without your presence, thus there will be a large amount of surplus irritation when you do see them. Thus prolonging the time you will take to visit them again, creating a never-ending spiral.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Well, they do have to find new ways to irritate. I mean, at 25 "clean your room" really doesn't carry the same level of irritation that it does at 12.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
My mother is about six feet away from me.
I actually get along really well with my parents. And I'm one of those people who really, really, really likes kids...maybe it comes from having all the way-younger siblings and cousins. I dunno.

ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY!
Hmm, so they don't use you as a jungle gym and steal your glasses? Because that's totally how they treated me. ...and now they're running the gamut between 5 and 14... Wow. I feel weird now. Not quite old, but... whoa.
V: Constant exposure can definitely dull one's desires. Which is why, though I love my cousins, I am glad I don't seem them as often as I could with living in the same town.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
I think growing up around little children all the time is what tempered me against having children of my own...

Traffic's usually not that bad around 3. The closer you get to 4 or 5, though...that's when you get to "Damn I wish I had a grenade launcher" traffic.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
I'd quite like to have children some day. I will be a... strange parent.
And I'm sure, if my parents ever were to pester me about the having of children, it would be a joke on their part."'But there's still such a lot to be done...'
YES. THERE ALWAYS IS."

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
I'm glad I'm the youngest son, so even if I did have kids I wouldn't be carrying on the family line proper-like, so the pressure's off on me. Though that might change after my parents get over their shock at finding out that my oldest bro is a furry and the other one is an engineer.
I really don't want the hopes and dreams for a new generation pinned to me. For one thing, performance anxiety is bad enough as it is...

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Best go negotiate with the family about when they want waking up.
Christmas Day I become a living alarm clock for them.
...doesn't help that my room ticks incredibly at night.
I'm also thinking of stealing our odd blue Christmas lights for use in my room. They'd give a groovy glow.

Blasphemy! Everyone should go by British time! And it's still only 10:18pm, so, no Christmas yet.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
I'm hanging around for at least a bit longer. Got to stay up until after midnight, and say merry christmas, a bit. After that I go to bed, unless something catches my interest.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Jeez guys, Christmas is pretty much over already.
I like my parents. I mean, they're good people, and they're usually reasonable with their parenting. There are just some things I can't make them see as reasonable. Like staying up and talking to weird people on the internet whom I've never met.formerly known as xNadia
apologies for the confusion and inconvenience

I was birthed by a mighty collision, over the eons I congealed into a spherical form. I burned with a fire that didn't die.
I like my parents, though. They're awesome.

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Yeah, over here, it's not even dinner, Christmas Eve.
I gotta say, I like the holiday. Winter's a bit like one long sea of grey and cold, and Christmas is like this one party that gives you the energy to get through it.
And the generous amount of days off helps, too.Spoiler<-I won this from Dr. Bath.Spoiler

Re: Coplantor's Completly Creative Cautious and Contemplative Random Banter #109
Just opened pretty much all of my presents from my wife/in-laws. Tomorrow my side of the family is coming over to my home for Christmas.
So I get one night of playing The Orange Box on my Xbox before having my family over and then leaving for Indiana to stay with Ash's grandmother for four days.
But, a friend is letting me borrow his DS in exchange for borrowing my copy of Fallout 3.
Damn, I'm good.
