i'm so glad my family doesn't fight at gatherings, we just drink like three bottles of cheap sparkling each and pass out on the floor

but we're pretty close and like run around naked in front of each other and poo poo so i guess it's our family culture

last family gathering i went to i tried on one of my grandmother's dresses and it got stuck over my head because she's like a leprechaun and she comes in to find me stark naked trying to get this lacy thing off my face

she rescued me but only after i ran all around the top floor of the house going HOO HOO HOO like an owl and all the neighbours saw her chasing me around

your families are all terrible

we develop superpowers when we're drunk, we all pile into the nearest rsl and just clean up on the pokies while screaming poo poo poo poo poo poo at each other until they call security and then we go rollicking home and brawl (but it's all in good fun)

or more often we blow all our savings but we don't remember those times, either way we end up slapping each other

i always scrub and squirt the air freshener afterward though, i'm not some sort of monster

well my poop is already quite mildly scented and has a subtle - even delicate - bouquet that is all its own so i feel that to obliterate it entirely would defeat the purpose

also, upon entering someone's house, i eat one [1] item from their pantry, usually a piece of cereal or a single nut

i purchase a replacement to the best of my ability and leave it behind when i go

my grandmother is kind of racist in an old-person way, but i'm 1/4 romani and since i started learning more about it and telling her stuff, she's been saying "romanies" instead of "gypsies" and when her racist-old-person friends make antiziganist remarks she gets stern with them :3: i mean obviously it's just a drop in the ocean of racist old people but she's trying so hard

she's also fairly jewish (being jewish is not binary, there are good ones and bad ones and technical ones and really terrible ones like my grandmother) and a few years ago she got all guilty because a friend, who is also jewish, hadn't been invited to her family's christmas dinner (:psyduck:) so she invited her over to our family gathering. we're also fairly catholic because the men in our family just gently caress everything with legs and things escalate quickly, so we basically celebrate everything. christmas day comes along and there are all these jews getting drunk to hell on the verandah, eating prawns (:psyduck:) and talking about Hitler (...:psyduck:). seriously we ate prawns and drank champagne and talked about Hitler for like six hours and it was fantastic.

i really like my family

lots of people have terrible grandmothers so i try not to be smug about mine but she's just so great i can't help it :3:

she randomly oscillates between religions, a few years ago she got all teary watching crucifixion enactments on tv the night before easter and decided she was going to go to dawn mass the next day for the first time in her whole life, but then we stayed up until 4am drinking champagne and didn't get out of bed until the next afternoon so she missed it and was too hungover to go to the evening one

also i was looking in her freezer once and i found a box of kosher imitation bacon bits right next to a box of actual bacon

anyway that's enough about my grandmother, you can all go back to talking about your southern gothic nightmare families

i pressed my forehead against a boiling urn because it had a reflective surface and i was mesmerised by my own beauty

miraculously it didn't scar, idk how

dogchat: cattledogs tbh, the blue pudding from before was 2% kisses as a baby because cattledoglets exist only to consume, but as an adult he was approximately 90% kisses (10% sitting around with his legs splayed and his dong hanging out and his eyes pointing in different directions, they are majestic beings)

You feelings on; Hawaiian shirts, Jam shorts, crocs and a fedora.
no, no, no, only if you're leonard cohen

the above sentence is also what i say to men who are trying to seduce me (see below)

but sometimes i will consider them if they provide evidence that they'd be a suitable mate. possible mating displays include buying drinks (coffee yes, cocktails yes, bottled water no, methylated spirits no), ostentatious dress/peacocking (alarming wig + feather boa + horn-rimmed glasses + sequined nipple pasties combination yes, fursuit no) dancing (quickstep shuffle yes, white guy convulsions no, poledancing maybe) or straight-up dropping their pants and waving their dong at me in front of everybody (only consider this if your dong is impressive or you are prepared to physically battle the 2-5 policemen who come to arrest you, which i find quite erotic but only if you win)

behaviour is everything, physical traits like skin/hair/eye pigmentation, body size and general hairiness are less important than generally assumed as long as you're not one of those creepy british guys with bright red skin ginger hair and no eyebrows as i will not have that poo poo in my bed, i will not have it (exceptional cases will be considered on a case-to-case basis)

females respond to advances from unsuitable mates in various ways depending on the individual; my personal display is lying down on the floor and peeing straight up into the air while screaming loudly, which i believe is quite common and distinctive. if a woman does this, it is time to leave.

customers asking my age happened all the time, i'm 23 but apparently i look 16

they also asked my ethnicity, like straight up just walk up to my counter and say "hey what country are you from" or sometimes they tried to guess it which was pretty funny. lots of disappointed old greek ladies

retail is an interesting environment, luckily i got in a screaming match with a deranged american air hostess who was throwing olives at me and no longer have to worry about working retail (now i have to worry very much about eating and paying my rent instead but it's ok)

if you decorate her bedroom with bottlecaps it will feel more luxurious, there are birds that do that and it works for them; just make sure you keep it a surprise

wine's a good idea
look i'd give her all my money if i could
the money ref though is just to show what she already has compared to what i can give her even if i spent everything
i love her a lot, she's been there for me and she's the only member of my family with a shred of sanity and compassion.
her previous gifts to me include a tea making robot and an ipad. this is what i'm competing with. either of those would mean i'm not paying rent next month.
stop being mean to me :(
i am being mean only ironically, i know the pain of being unable to afford gift shopping and want the best for you and your family. we are still friends

anyway this year my presents are all hand-drawn watercolours of birds and fish, idk what your artistic ability is but good family members love handmade gifts; or you could always commission a picture from some internet person who's not too expensive (not trying to pimp myself here, i live in australia so i'd be wildly inappropriate plus i'm sure you can find someone better)

does she have a favourite creature and/or plant? if she's renovating now you can find out her house's new colour scheme and ask for something that complements the colours AND includes a thing that she likes! plus it would be unique and personalised

your sister sounds cool tbh and you sound like a good sister too so i hope things work out

i have a baby animal photo for every occasion

my Idyllic Rural Childhood also included horses (well not really but someone randomly gave us a free standardbred mare a few years ago and things escalated)

this is tommy, racing name Bone Machine. he's about four years old now but these photos were taken during the most important time of his life




he's currently in training to be a glorious trotter, his sister was p. good until she broke her leg (r.i.p. :smith:) so we have high hopes
