Well, yes. My middle sister at least picked up the slack and is getting married in less than two months.

Being gay should not get you off the hook for the grandkids lecture. Also, that friend of yours in particular is awesome, he will make a good dad.

Worked for me. Although there's also the part where I've told my mom I'm -still- considering a vasectomy even though I haven't even ever kissed a girl (and now I definitely won't >_>). She knows when to raise the white flag.

I think it is less that you are gay and more that your mother has met you.

FUN THOUGHT: basically everything I know in terms of sass and horribleness I learned from her. I bow to my masters where it's due.

Cotigo · « **Reply #55 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:53:06 AM »

Wow, your mom is somehow a sassier, more demented you? What, is she Colombian?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #56 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:53:39 AM »

Bolivian and Portuguese blood. It's a wonderful combination.

EDIT: Wait, my mom's branch of the family ain't Italian, I think that's dad's.

Fine, I guess I'll just be content never living to see my grandchildren.

That one usually degenerates into me acting like I don't comprehend passive-aggression and cheerfully agreeing.

"Yeah, probably not. It's awesome, isn't it? C'mon, up top! What, you're gonna leave me hanging like that? Don't be such a bitch."

Pretty sure I have a PhD. in fake non-comprehension of passive-aggression by now thanks to my grandma~

So, a nightclub burned down and over 230 people died in the fire last night in the city one of my best friends used to live. In the media, it's been said it's the worst victim tally in a club fire in pretty much all history. I'm speechless right now, just trying to spread news and help requests.

And then, there are people in high social media making jokes about the fire. I hate the internet.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #61 on:** January 27, 2013, 11:59:13 PM »

The internet continues to be a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

That event made the news here, so I'll admit I was pretty glad to see you around and okay today!

Meeplelard · « **Reply #62 on:** January 28, 2013, 01:23:44 AM »

Glad to hear you're ok Snow.

Not glad to hear that some people have no standards whatsoever.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #63 on:** January 28, 2013, 02:57:16 AM »

Oh, it didn't happen here. Just a city a very good friend of mine is from, and I have other friends in the region. Right now, there's not much else to do, I shared some links and contacts for people who are closer than I am (I'm over a thousand km from the area) for support, which is about as good as I can do within my limits. Still, this just shot my mood down the drain for the rest of the day.

Grefter · « **Reply #64 on:** January 28, 2013, 07:50:58 PM »

Speaking of, big rains and some minor flooding g in Brisbane. I am fine able to go to work and stuff. We lost power though because a branch of a tree fell and ripped the overhead wore that connected our unit to the lines across the street off the building. Hopefully get power back today. Not sure if will have net connection back or not.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #65 on:** January 28, 2013, 08:01:04 PM »

Glad to know you're all right as well, Gref.

Mood still shot the whole day due to yesterday's incident and the news about it getting progressively worse and having slept two hours today. Then, The Cure announces they'll perform in São Paulo three months from now. On a Saturday.

Yeah, today ain't completely hopeless yet.

Performa-organized African Surrealism event next Friday in NYC. Be there or be square.

... I just got a leaflet through my door asking me not to support/vote for genderless marriage and to let my MSP know I was opposed to the plans for this. Wat. I am so mad right now.

Something that amused me which I heard in a phonecall after I confessed that I hadn't played any games made by Rockstar.

"You know, it's funny: usually the only people who haven't played any Rockstar games are people from China, where the games were banned for a while...and women."

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #69 on:** January 31, 2013, 07:48:46 PM »

That males me a girl, then? OH SNAP

That does eliminate about 75% of the world's population, so...

Although I have to say, I'd be curious what Snow would make of LA Noire.

So a couple weeks ago my previous place of employment closed down, which really took about two months more than I thought it would. However, I never got my W2s, and I find myself wondering how the hell that works now.

I earned this and you can't take it away from me.
