I was thinking earlier that I reagrd some of you here at JoeU as almost family.  It made me wonder who would fill what familial role...here's what I came up with:

 

JillUser, Karmagirl,NickyG and Shadesofgrey:  Sisters.  I don't have any sisters, but the way you guys and I interact and talk...well, that's what I have always imagined sisterhood to be like. 

 

Imajinit, Dan, Muggaz and Greywar - my brothers.  More specifically, MJ and Dan would be my younger brothers.  For some reason I feel the need to defend them when they're being attacked but at the same time tell them they're being  idiots (that applies more to Dan than MJ). Muggaz too.  I'd watch his more reckless behaviour thinking to myself "yeah, you'll learn"..but at the same time admiring his reslove to live his life by his own standards. Greywar would be my big brother.  Older (I think, if you're not then I apologize), wiser...a seasoned soldier and all-around good guy.  Someone who's opinion I respect enormously.

 

Mack, BlueDev and SuspeckTed: Cousins.  Close enough to be regarded as family, but distant enough to maintain a friendly perspective...if that makes sense.

 

Anne: My cousin.  I regard her in sort of the same way I see Muggaz, but not so extreme.

 

PoetMom and SheryeHanson: My aunts.  Slightly older, a little wiser...women who's advice I feel I can trust because they've 'been there, done that'.

 

Oh, and last but not least, Brad.....

..he'd be my godfather, of course!!

We need to write the "Secrets of the JoeUser Sisterhood"


Hahahaha!


That's a good idea, actually....

on May 03, 2004
Jeez, "Mom" must have been busy- 32,34,35


And your "aunt" is only 42....which is great...just like me and my favorite aunt, who is only 7 yrs older than I am.

I'm 34, so depending on shades, you might be the baby, Karma. Then we'll start picking on you... hehehe
on May 03, 2004
I hope I'm not one of those cousins that end up on Jerry Springer.
on May 03, 2004
sorry Karma--looks like I'm the baby--I'm 26--does this mean I get to be spoiled? that would be better than having NickyG pick on me
on May 03, 2004
btw--I'm pretty excited about all my new neices and nephews--I mean, if I'm going to be a single ol' spinster with a lot of cats, than I might as well spoil my cyber-sister's kids right?

Hmmmm....26.......not sure if you'll get spoiled or "over protected".  Spinster with a lot of cats?   You're only 26!  Of course, if you already have a lot of cats, then you are going to get labeled that "crazy cat lady" and may end up a spinster

Wow, "Mom" really was busy!  26, 32, 34, 34, 35 ....now, wait a minute!  Either JillUser and NickyG are twins, or one of them is adopted!  How did that happen?

on May 03, 2004
maybe they are "irish twins"--you know, only 10 months apart

It kind of looks like I was the "oops" baby

no cats yet, but if I'm still single at 45 I'm investing in some feline friends!

Halfway through the thread, I thought I was going to get to be the spinster with lots of cats... Maybe I can just be the local babysitter. : )

on May 03, 2004

Hmm...Sulamite...could be the maiden aunt with lots of cats who collects newspapers and magazines and never throws anything away..
