That's all good! We like people. Figured as much. Just raising the possibility. People used to think him and I were twins o.o Long before we ever met, we'd hear about each other from mutual friends "You look exactly like so-and-so!" (even my sister and parents thought so). Also, would it be too much to ask to not bring up my "'bloidal relationships" while physically in the household? XDD;; I'm not sure my parents would really get it, exactly, and it'd make for weirdness in having to explain, especially with Spot coming to visit for a week in Aug. "Yeah, you're either married to your parents or married to your siblings."

XD Well, it's true! Have you ever tried to explain it to someone that's not a forum member? They typically don't get it. And then someone who hasn't been a part of that kind of community or culture just would find it weird.... XD;

Honey love, you don't really have so many bloidal relationships that you can afford to put an 's' on the back of it. <3333333333

As far as I'm aware, none of us have allowed an adoption, and we're not siblings.

But Ducky counts as history, thus there is a cumulative total of two! Which is plural! XDD

XD When I burst out laughing in the middle of dead silence people kinda want to know what's so funny. XD But you're right, they don't get it at all. XD They've learned not to ask me anymore.

I mostly keep my mouth shut about these kinds of things unless talking to people who've been members of a forum community and thus understand. My friend Randy is a perfect example. I met him on an AOL Digimon forum in 2000 (he ended up down at the same college I went to a couple years back). XD There was no division of boards like here, so we had serious topics and goofy ones all right in the middle of each other. Boardy relationships cropped up and such. 'course some of us took them seriously, others didn't. It was crazy. Two big things I remember is our chatrooms, a trend I instigated. Crazy chatroom happenings. Then one night a game of Truth and Dare got started. And no one was picking Dare. It was an interesting night. and the infinite Claim Wars. Picture RCP, but it wasn't a matter of winning anything. If you "claimed" it first, it was yours.

Man, I wish I could find my old Claims List. I had like 2000 some items on it, ranging from people to 'ships, to all the Pokemon cities and routes, and maybe some Gundams....

It was, for the time. Growing up on the internet... heh. It's an interesting thing.
