Em's Extremely Extraordinarily Epic Random Banter #91

[eidreff]

I have always wondered what it would be like:
1) to not be eldest and expected to set an example or play at "daddy" when parents are ill (5 years of this due to heart problems and diabetes caused by medication whilst I was doing my A levels)
2) to be an only child.

I've gotta be honest though I would give up any of my clan. They have helped shape who I am and, despite the occasional disagreement, I would not be here today without them. It was one of my brothers approximately 18 years ago that got me interested in RPGs, prior to that I'd not even heard of DnD!

Still gotta wonder..... *wibbly screen effects as eidreff enters a;ternate reality dreamworld type thing.*

My dad said "Don't tell him to stop singing - if it bothers you put some music on headphones." I was too annoyed to explain that what I wanted was QUIET.

[Marie Antoinette Mode]Your place is too small.[/Marie Antoinette Mode]

I doubt that could happen to at home, big place, a big room for me alone and a lot of forests in the neighbourhood.

[The Bushranger]

Only child here, have wished since I was 12 I had a younger sister though.

[Dragonrider]

[Marie Antoinette Mode]Your place is too small.[/Marie Antoinette Mode]

I doubt that could happen to at home, big place, a big room for me alone and a lot of forests in the neighbourhood.

Our house is 3700 square feet. Plenty of room, even for four kids. No, I'm just camped out on the couch after my wisdom tooth surgery. And more irritable than usual, no doubt. I feel bad.

[SMEE]

For several reasons, I must say that I have a most awesome little brother.

[A Rainy Knight]

I'm an only child myself. Given from what I've heard from some friends of mine who are older siblings, I'm pretty content with my current situation.

[Sir_Norbert]

According to my computer clock, it's after midnight. I'm 25. *cries*

[EmeraldRose]

Happy Birthday!!! 25 isn't so bad...

*throws a cake*

[Cyrano]

Happy Birthday!!! 25 isn't so bad...

*throws a cake*

No no, see, those 3 statements were unrelated. The correct response is this:
Sleep is for suckers, That's nice, and something about how superior you are 'cause you ain't crying. In that order.

[Sir_Norbert]

It's not the age that's so bad, it's not being able to spend my special day with the person I care about more than anything in the world :(

[Cyrano]

It's not the age that's so bad, it's not being able to spend my special day with the person I care about more than anything in the world :(

In that case, ER, some sort of innuendo is in order.

In all seriousness, my apologies and hopes you enjoys yourselfs on your birthdays anyways.

[Arameus]

Now you're a Christmas Cake! Shame on you! SHAME, I SAY!

Happy Birthday, Norbert! And you'll see 'em soon. Or... maybe you won't. I really don't know. But here's hoping!

[Serpentine]

@Serpentine, I'v been meaning to say this for a while....your new avatar is pretty cool :)

Thankee ^_^

I have a huge crush on her, you know <3 <3 <3

On my avi? Thankee ^_^

I'm a younger sibling. I can't remember the details, but you know that study that found that people have different personalities depending upon their order of birth? Well, my sister and I are pretty much the extremes of Eldest and Youngest... Apparently she punched me once, but I don't remember it. My nephew is pretty cute and fun, when he's not being a manipulative little liar

Arameus, where've you been? You've missed my Talkshow (which I seem to have killed...)

[Arameus]

Hmm, didn't I kill myself? Or is that temporary, like in a soap opera?

Anyway, I've been under a lot of stress lately at school, so I've been burning that candle at both ends. That doesn't leave a lot of time for my usual timewasters, like this site.

But, with the holidays fast approaching, it appears as though I have a bit of a breather coming on, so for now anyway I'm back and better than ever, causing trouble like always. Also, I've got a great new story up, which is part of what I was working so hard on the past few weeks.

Frankly, I'm sort of surprised anyone noticed I was gone, but pleasantly so.

[Micate]

I know how you feel. I'm surprised when anyone notices I'm HERE. But, I don't post very often, so it's not surprising nobody knows who I am.

[Dragonrider]

@Micate, if it makes you feel important, I do recognize your name when I see it...

[Serpentine]

Me too, and I don't think I have any negative vibes attached to you... I'm not very good at remembering people, though, and I tend to get people mixed up. For example, CurlyKitGirl posted in the Impersonation silly game, and I just realised I actually impersonated Dragonrider

[Dragonrider]

Umm...is that good or bad?

*goes off to check what Serpentine did*

Edit: hehe. Never mind...too much hassle.

[Arameus]

I should have participate in that. It looked like a lot of fun! I'll just have to wait for the next big event, I suppose. Read my story, dammit! I need reviews!

[Ceska]

Another Sunday morning, the weather is crap as ever in December, grey sky and no snow, but I'm quite content right now. Drinking cocoa for the first time in ages while Rush's Limelight plays in the background. Life's good.
I really do wonder why I have been depressed over the course of last year. Halve a year back some people still wanted me to go to a psychiatrist.
Somehow now I have this sentence in my head: "Maturity is not when you realised that you were stupid before, but that it made you who you are.

Our house is 3700 square feet. Plenty of room, even for four kids. No, I'm just camped out on the couch after my wisdom tooth surgery. And more irritable than usual, no doubt. I feel bad.

That's too bad, fortunately pain goes away. As goes the acting like you don't want to because the pain is irritating you.
You probably will feel sorry for how you acted then. That's how I always feel because I become a sarcastic bastard as soon as I'm bothered with anything I can't show.

According to my computer clock, it's after midnight. I'm 25. *cries*

It's always bad to be away from your loved ones (or in this case loved one), I don't see how the birthday is any special. Though it tends to be reflective. Have a good one anyway, well, as good as you can.

[SMEE]

Being woken up by your 2 years old nephew at 08:00 am after having less than 4 hours of sleep: priceless.

[Ceska]

I have a nice story from my uncle there. He slept at his brothers place after having gone to a football match in Klagenfurt (basically 100 km away) with said brother and came there very late. So in the morning his niece, the brother's four year old daughter (he has two, they're four and two) wakes him up at 8:00.
*Quietly*"Martin, wake uuuup. It's 8:00"
"Even on Sundays?"
*Still quietly* "I don't know..." *Now shouting upstairs* "MOOOM! DO WE NEED TO GET UP THIS EARLY ON SUNDAYS?!"
"NO DEAR!"
"No we don't, you can get back to sleep."

Needless to say by then he was awake and couldn't.

[HealytheHealslime]

Errr, I seem to have bit of a problem with a prank gone awry. Anybody wanna help?

You see, I posted a link to this really bad webcomic (that is actually a parody) at this other forum I go to, just so that I could claim to have crappy webcomic precognition (I know where this comic is posted first, so it's easy to get a general gist of the future strips and plotlines from there). However, it seems that half the forum (rough estimate) has already guessed the chicanery of it all. So, um, how do I take this prank under control again? I'd really like to be able to have the chance to claim crappy webcomic precognition, even if it's only for a prank.

[Dr. Bath]

Aye'm all alone, there's no one here beside mee..
I'm an only child, the only one of my entire group of friends now. It's alright, but it means there's no one to act as scapegoat or other such sibling uses.

In other news: I just ate some meatloaf for the first time. It was really quite nice, and now I am confused as to why it has such bad press.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Aww, poor Bath doesn't have a shower to call his own sibling.

Never tried meatloaf either. I've only heard bad things about it too.

So Bath, did you get 90mph winds today? I was walking my dogs in it when the deluge started. Have ou ever been hit by dollops icy icy lumps of rain flying that ast. I was in pain. Without a hood. *winces slightly*

[Dr. Bath]

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: But they were at about 70mph, and it was the same yesterday and the day before.

I have, however, 'been hit by dollops icy icy lumps of rain flying that fast'. Except I was on a boat going across the solent, trying to be look out so that we didn't get hit by any tankers. It was also at night.

[Dragonrider]

I spent the spring in China, and in March, we had record winds and snow. We tried to walk down to the store and when we got out the door, we were literally blown across the street. It was a sheet of ice and the wind was so fierce that it had pulled the roof of a building next door.
When we got back inside, our clothes were coated in ice.

[Midnight Son]

I was feeling a bit down this morning. It happens every once in a while. So I put on some AC/DC. Why does that always pick me up?

[Madmal]

Dunno, But that works on me too.

Except "It's a long way..." frankly, i prefer the version from the "School of Rock" Movie.

A most faithful recourse of mine is to look out the window before I leave the house. It has worked, apparently, for thousands of years, and is quite frankly more reliable than the weatherman.

In other news: I just ate some meatloaf for the first time. It was really quite nice, and now I am confused as to why it has such bad press.

Meatloaf is made by combining meat with a passel of other ingredients. It's sort of like fruitcake: there are guidelines, but if you want to throw it in, no one will really question it. Thus, meatloaf became a way for busy mothers to toss together leftovers and food needing disposal into a convenient loaf. Meatloaves like this are often very odd, and sometimes even pretty terrible, and, due to their convoluted makeup, unidentifiable but the partaker, thus becoming 'mystery meat,' a title synonymous with inedibility.

Meatloaf made traditionally with good ingredients is delicious, however, and does, indeed, get a bad rap because of its evil twin, the 'stuffloaf.'
