Parents' Weekend

[x_penance]

Parents' Weekend is this weekend. For those who are new, it is the open day where family can come and talk to the teachers and see how their children are going. Like the Parent-Teacher Night, only for the whole weekend.

I know many people here do not have the blood family - I am one of them now. But I was thinking. Family is more than the people whose genetics we are sharing; it is about those people who take a certain place in our hearts, who fill the role of family, even without the genetic connection. So I wanted to perhaps talk about that.

Who in your life do you consider family?

Family is what you make it, I find. Of course, the only blood family I am on speaking terms with is my half-sister who is no longer here, so adoption is really my only way to have it.

I normally don't respond to crap like this, but what he said. --^

Carmilla Black, poisonous on the outside, full of nougat (but poisonous nougat) on the inside.

Oh, I love you too. Except for the whole raging bitch thing.

I could just pinch your little cheeks. If I did not think you would bite me.

Biting is so middle school. I have better ways to deal with insane French people violating my personal space.

True, and I am fairly certain I would not want to vomit up my intestines, because I enjoy being able to do things such as eat food and also be alive.
