My family is pretty big. Not my blood relatives but my chosen family. So according to all my friends in the past few years I have four or five 'children' ten 'sisters', three-five 'brothers', seventeen 'cousins', one frienemy, one 'sisterinlaw' and one boyfriend. Now where exactly they stand is a different list entirely and way more complex.


Well, I have several siblings, I really have no idea how many, but it's possibly hundreds. My friend maintains that we adopt her, but she adopts us, which is why we call her Maw. In fact, it is one of the reasons I wasn't allowed to ask her biological daughter out. That, and the age gap.
I'm thinking of writing something tonight. No clue what, but I shall just type and type and not stop until I finish.
Maybe because they don't know if they're going to bite or not. Or it could be that from a young age, we've been told to not talk to strangers and that's the one time we actually heed that bad advice. I say bad advice because if you don't talk to strangers, how are you going to make friends? I think the overwhelming thing is laziness, actually. Laziness and greed. It's the attitude of "why should I help someone I don't know? What's in it for me?" Which is wrong; if you're gonna help someone, do it because you wanna help, not because there is a reward.

When should one use a semicolon? (;)
Headbanger!!! By BABYMETAL... In my head. (Side note: I'm not shouting, that's how BABYMETAL stylise their name).
"A letter came for you" and when I open the letter, stunned silence, followed by exclamations of "how the hell?" and "whoohoo!" I just got given a large windfall.
I believe the distinction is that a fear is more easily controlled than a phobia. As I understand it, a phobia is something you live with and in some cases can be part of a mental illness. I suppose to sum up, you could say that fear = fuck everything and run, but phobia = stick around and deal with it.

Okay, slightly political here, but... Do you think that Scotland should be independent from the rest of the UK?
Pick an amplifier, pick a setting, pick a guitar, pick a pick (ew), pick a string, pick your nose, pick a pickaxe, pick a specialism, pick a pocket... Oh, you've got to pick a pocket or two! You don't suppose picking something is on my mind? Well, I pick you! Ms Sexy Kitten.

Sorry Circle_Something.. it was meant in good fun.. didn't mean to bore you or annoy you.. I shall endeavor to follow others..


It wasn't aimed at just you, but thanks. I may be Scottish, but it isn't the epitome of me.

Hmmm... Well, Dreamcatcher looks like a big macho dude, but he actually giggles like a wee schoolgirl.
Lives by the mantra "to beard is to be sexy".

(Next person to post about me, no shit about bagpipes and kilts, or general Scottish stereotypes, it's frigging boring and annoying.)
I probably would. I say probably because, being a red-blooded male, I'd probably get a boner, which is frowned upon in those places (as I've read), so I'd likely spend a little time getting acclimatised and getting calm, then get naked.

Would you ever just strip off and run naked down the street, just for the fun of it?

That statement, Liz, is rather erroneous. I'm the winner silly


Did you say my wife was erogenous? That is very naughty. Behave yourself. (lol)

Oh, and by the way
I'm at the end
So I must say
That I win


Well, if she's married to someone as cool as you, I'd say she was quite erogenous. (Pfft! I never behave myself.)

Bubbles... Oh, I could say quite a lot about that statement, especially about the clap part, but I shan't, for I am ze winner!

Irrepressible Kitty FTW, yo!
I was talking to Rebellious_Soul and she called me "Mr. Circles", to which I replied "I'm often dizzy." It made me wonder, Roland, are you often dizzy? I'm going in circles and you're going in loops! And is Lizzy dizzy, too? May I call her Dizzy Lizzy?
We need a poem thread, so here it is. Post poems, whether composed by you or another (credit where credit is due, though!). Just have fun with poems and you know, have fun with poems, and stuff. Geddit? I'll post the first, one of my own compositions, entitled:

Scottish Weather

Aye, it’s Scotland, a’right,
Four season in wan day,
Ah wish ah could lay
In ma bed a’ day,
But I’ve got things tae dae,
So, gony brave it,
Weather’s a tit, but it’s a’right,
I’ll be hame in a bit.
You, Kitten! I love you!
Also known as Aria,
You know, I wanna marry ya!
One of our dances should be the Ska,
We'll be all "ska ska ska, whoo ya!"
And then we'll have some cocktails,
And when my arms are mixing, watch them flails,
You know, Aria, my love for you never fails.
Yeah, why not? As long as it was in a video game.

Would you ever run down the street, shouting "this is Sparta!"
Rebellious_Soul was their worst night fright.
They thought they were in for a really bad plight,
but, quite honestly, they really weren't,
so in that thought they were quite errant.

Those silly people, their eyes should be poked,
so very hard, until they croaked,
that's what they get for 'fronting a Rebel,
a better punishment, might be sucking on a pebble.

I don't know where I can ask this but, I scored on one of my friend's poems then went to read another short poem but when I tried to score on it, it told me I have to wait five minutes to score another story. Idk if it was always like that or it's some small fluke but, it seems to me slightly counter productive.


Well, I speak for nobody when I say this, but it's likely a safeguard against spammers/trolls.
These days, it's sleeping. I love sleeping, but I feel slightly guilty about doing it quite so often as I do.

If you write, how many stories do you actually finish writing? (Same for readers, except swap "writing" for "reading".)
I'm loving my new laptop. Just downloaded a bunch of drivers, one of which is the mousepad driver. Nothing special, you might think, but it does gestures, like pinch zooming and stuff like that. This is the second business laptop I've had - that is, designed for business use, rather than home use, and I mast say, it is a lot better than home laptops. My first one was a Compaq, which worked really well, but was quite clunky. This one is a Dell, and boy, is it fast! The headphone port is amplified too, so I don't have to have the volume that high. The keyboard is backlit, so I can type at night with no lights on. I'm getting used to the keyboard. The keys are a little different to what I'm used to, but they're pretty good. Nice and responsive, and they don't feel heavy to use, which will help the tendinitis. The graphics are also really good, but at the moment, I'm using an external monitor. I got it for my birthday as a project - it was sold as for spares or repairs, and being in the repair business, I decided to repair it. Screen will cost £50, but that's a small price to pay. I just hope I can afford a new pair of boots that I've got my eye on.
The question was asked of me, "Andrew, do you think that dinosaurs read newspapers?"

To which, I answered "they might have done, there are a couple of dino species still alive, anyway. I bet they're the ones who sat there with their newspapers, saying:

'Oh, look, Maude, there's an apocalypse scheduled.'

'Well, Harry, better get out of here.'

And then they went into hiding until it was safe."

The teacher could do nothing but laugh, and try to steer the topic back into seriousness, but it was too late, I'd already run with it and made it into a wee play.
I'm grateful for my bed, the big softie, it's always there for me. I'd be grateful for longer arms, so that I can lie at a decent length from my laptop and type. It would be the ultimate in laziness biggrin
