Well, I'm just glad that I like the majority of my family, then. XD Seriously, most of us share similar interests and just generally have similar personalities. Like, there have been times when a bunch of my cousins, uncles, brothers and I have all gone to the park with a football (soccer ball) and just played for hours, then we just sat around on the grass telling jokes and funny stories. And I've always enjoyed those times.

My family never gets together to spend time. Aside from after bowling where I see my Dad's side uggh, My mum's I never see. Though this weekend we are going to my aunties 50th? Birthday party. Which I can guarantee we'll all be talking..
|
On my Dad's side I have around 20 something aunts and uncles but they live mainly in Libya and Egypt. My Mom's family however is very small, I have two aunts and uncle I've met once and that was last year. The rest of my mom's family lives in Norway, I'm going there next summer to meet my other cousins and whatnot XD
I only see my mom's side and that's on holiday's-but everyone is either really old or really young T-T Only one person is my age and we don't speak D=. |
I know family who have been friends with my family for years, and I'm really close to them, though we aren't related in anyway. However, I like to refer to them as my relatives sometimes... :) I'm closer to them my real relatives could ever be - I don't know my relatives much, and besides most of them don't know me. My father's side lives near where live, and as for my mother's side there's hardly any living in Australia, and most have remained back in Laos. I would say my father's family is way bigger than my mum's. I think one of my paternal great-grandfather had several wives, which may clarify a few things. :\ From what I think my dad's side aren't too smart or bright, while my mum's side are more educated (though living in a developing country) and kind. Actually, one of my mum's brother doesn't keep in contact with anyone, and is rather self-caring, while my other uncles are never giving up trying to contact to him. For me, I just want to get away from them and just be with those who support, though aren't real family. It's always does not related to you that are good, right? That's how I see. I do contact one of my maternal uncle though... Most of my (paternal) relatives that I know are either little toddlers, or young (unsuccessful) adults. They know lots of other families, so I find it confusing of who's related to me or not (but I don't care). It's arkward to go to one of their gatherings, because no-one's gonna know me, and vice versa...

And we see my mom's quite often, as they live in Hamilton, which is only a half hour's drive northeast of where i live. Thing is, in sports, my family is just different. My grandfather watches golf and soccer. My uncles watch football, baseball and nascar, my brother watches hockey and me n ma dad watch basketball. I also play basketball, my bro used to be good, but he got bored of it, so i own him now, and he's 7 years older then me, tsk, i'm quite dissapointed in him, lol. Not really, cuz he smokes, and his shot is just horrid now. And whenever we get together, guess what they talk about.... POLITICS! GAWD!! SOOO BORING! Anyways, rant over, sorry all. ^.^ |
My family is all spread out ;o I don't really have a big family, there are some relatives I haven't seen since I was very little XD They're all over the UK now :x
I miss my sister the most though (My older one XD) because we were really close until she moved out of the house to her boyfriend's flat. I haven't seen her since January last year, so that's a year now >.< |
Well, I only have one cousin who's a friend but I've only met up with her once and she only visited for a week. On my dad's side I don't have any relatives and on my mom's I have two uncles and an aunt. I never have any fun with my parents and my bro's boarding in school. I'm pretty lonely, too...
Politics can be funny if you make charicatures and your dad's a cynic. Together they made a pile of stuff making fun of Bush. I don't believe I ever tried counting my relatives... All my more familiar ones are in the Philipines and they're not familiar at all. My most familiar ones are in the US as well as all the unmentioned relatives who I never even heard of but know they exist... |
My mum's side of the family is smaller than my dad's too. ._., It's weird. 8D
Plus, my dad had a big family so I guess it all makes sense? 8D I don't see most of my mum's family because they live far-far away. :| I seriously don't know how old some of my cousins are because there are so many...xD |
I've got a whole load of cousins on my mum's side... Most of them being girls my age-ish. I don't have a lot of uncles/aunts in my mum's side though... In fact, I've only got two uncles.
On my dad's side, I've got 3 cousins, who are a lot younger than me. But I do have a lot of uncles and aunts on my dad's side... O_o |
It's rather obvious, but we have relatives everywhere! XD In fact, we're all family! XP Anyways, on my father's side I have more aunts than uncles, and on my mum's side it's the other way round. Our family is mixed boys and girls, though I think the male gender dominates. :) My unrelated relatives (whom I'm so close to, though as I said we're not related in any way) tend to have more males in the eldest suriving generation, then more females in the next generation, then more males again with the current generation (the people around my age, and the younger adolescents). :classic:
Really it's just me, my parents and my bro...I wish I had a bigger intermediate family, or at least a sister... :( Gosh, I wish I were a twin, or had siblings that were twins. Twins are just so cool! :P Actually, the twins who are not just identical, but are exactly identical (what they wear, their perception, their personality etc.), that really bothers me. I like identical twins (not too identical though) who are completely different to one another. :\ Oh, and the thrill of twins being separated from one another, and then meeting again in such dramatic ways...life is such a soap opera! :laugh: |
Eh, my father had 9 brothers and sisters, most of which live overseas, so I haven't even met them yet. Can't wait till I do one day. Fortunately though I'm pretty close with my relatives here from both sides of the family, so yeah.
And what's with being hidden while logged on? It's not like it makes a difference or anything, specially if you're posting and all. |

Invisible is good. Specially if you want to stalk people for the fun of it, or click on someones profile by accident and don't want people to see. Or some people like me, are too lazy to take it off invisible.
|
I don't use invisible mode on this account; I know when I was a member I hated it when staff went invisible on me. (Maybe I'm a creepy stalker like that?) I want people to know I'm on, just in case I'm ever needed... not like that happens these days. :/ But meh, it happens.
However, my old account here uses it. I don't post in it anymore (why should I?), so it's just there. I don't see a reason why people need to know I'm on it, so I put it on invisible mode. And if I am on it for some reason, it's to have it logged on when on another domain thing. Ah, the days when we had to make a new account for a name change... they were so long ago, eh? I've only really used invisible mode to hide once, and that was on another forum... but then I was too lazy to get out of it, so I keep using it on that forum. It doesn't bother me, it's not like people can tell I'm online there anyway. |
I don't think I've ever made my account invisible, I don't really see why I should XD Okay, being stalked from other people might be a good reason but, it's not like I have extremely personal stuff in my profile. =P
Sometimes when I'm bored I end up looking at everyone's profile that's online XD Not that I'm a stalker or anything D: |

A lot of people just look at the "Who's Online" page~ -3- but I find that a bit boring~ I rather look at the actual posts and stuff~ And I've never made my account invisible either~ X3 I don't see a point in it either~~ |

-3- But yeah~ Sometimes I wish there were more n00bs around so I could look at their stupid posts~~ Oh well~ |
Okay... I can explain the Who's Online thing and why Andy and I always seem to be looking at it. XD; I can't speak for everyone else that looks at it, but I know why we do it. It's because it automatically refreshes PC for us and keeps us logged in. So that's why I always have a tab open to it. It's not like I really sit and stare at the Who's Online page for hours on end or anything like that... I'm not lacking a life *that* much. XD

-3-.. I don't get it.. |

After a while, you do something else, right? The who's online thing will show that, the next time it refreshes. |

I never knew that was a good way to stay logged in, I just happen to always have a window on who's online for the fun of it, or if I'm waiting for Tali to reply to a PM, and she's taking forever. That's all...though..another coincidence..XD
|
I only look at the Who's Online page when PC's boring and there isn't anything else to do. I'll sit staring at if for a couple of minutes then either go back to the index page or close the tab with PC in it. I'm not bothered about staying logged in all the time as half an hour later or so I'll check-up on PC again.
|
Hanging around the Online list is a great way for me to not have all the forums marked as read. Like Ashley said, it's how we don't get logged out when the 10-15 min auto offline thing kicks in. Sure I use it to stalk some people *coughAshleycough* (to see if she's maybe on MSN or not XD), but I mostly use it so I can get around to all the forums before having the marked as read.
