why would you be in trouble?

Because my mom is an old foggy and is almost completely of the mindset of 'children should be seen, not heard' when in public. If I take out my cellphone or handheld system at a restaurant while waiting to be served she yells at us, telling us to put it away so that we can have dinner as a 'family'. Reason why I state it that way is because whenever we do try talking to spend time as a 'family' she angrily tells us to be quote because we talk about 'stupid' shit to her, which is usually about video games. Reason being is because she finds them stupid and us stupid for playing them. Or at least for as much as we play them, but then we don't really have anything else to talk about because we've already told her anything there was interesting that's happened by that point. And when my brother asks what drinks the place has if its not on the menu she gets mad at him, saying he's stupid and that he knows what drinks are served there because he's been there numerous times. That is usually incorrect because these places we go to with her we maybe visit once or twice in an entire year. =.=;

@Exulansis - that is probably one of the most adorable things I've ever heard. :D

My mother would have smiled and hugged back unless she was feeling ill - then she'd ask to be left alone with a sad smile. Dad would complain as he was raised on the strict "seen, not heard" policy.

*Hugs ML*

So Lawton knows exactly what I mean. ^^; And she's the same way basically when company is over too! When friends of the family come over and they go to play a game, the guests will say yes while my mom has a fit and tells me no, to go hole up in my room like I normally do. Needless to say we haven't had a game night in YEARS for our family. Mostly because my mom got fend up of losing to us most of the time. >>; Then again this is a person who has trouble doing basic math as well. =.=; Not to mention we have to explain things five times to her and show her proof that we're right for her to understand what we're saying. Like when I was telling her how to get some place. She argued with me for fifteen minutes on the route even though I explained it five times. She didn't understand it until I got home and drew her a map. =.=; Worst part is most of the directions were for roads she's taken before! And it was really simple, she jus had to go out onto the one road that she knows, make a right turn onto another road she's been on, and then drive straight for a LONG time. After that there's this crosswalk bridge thing she drives under and at the light after that she makes a left into the plaza before that next light. Literally 2-3 turns, all but the last she's done before. And then when she was repeating the directions back to me she kept saying it backwards no mater how many times I corrected her. T-T And she wonders why I don't like driving with her in the car nor why I quit asking to play games with her.

Anyways, I've been playing Warframe. OWO I'm LOVING the new update! XD

Yep, sounds exactly like my mom. There was a guy into lolis that was hitting on me and trying to make me date him. I told my mom and she's like 'You should have said yes!' Then I told her he was into that and she had no clue, so I explained it to her. Needless to say she changed her tune real quick. >>;

ooohhh there are new items! :D

lots and lots of 'em<3 owo

The ones you get from posting when there isn't an event? I had no luck so far but i hope i get them soon ^^

yup~ i've gotten one so far though a couple people are on their second XD it's all random, hahaa

How do you know you got one?
I don't think i got any so far :(
Have i really posted that little?

I've gotten a few of them, can't remember if I got the kitty yet or not though. ^^;

Who are you talking to?

Just people in general. o.o;

I meant more like in the post just now?

Well, everyone was talking about the new items and I was just trying to add to the conversation. ^^; I actually didn't realize posting items were added, thought everyone was talking about the crane items actually. o///o

Oh so that's why you said kitten, the posting items are borders and a backdrop.

Yeah, sorry about that. x'D Last I had seen the kitty and a few other things had been recently added to the crane machine. ^^;

I haven't gotten any kitty yet myself, i think there are 3 different ones?

I thought there were two? I'll have to look at the thread again for that. ^^;

Well i have no idea, time for me to get crane items again ^^

I got a kitten item from the crane too!

the new event items are the borders and whatnot... :D I haven't gotten any...

*noms on a fresh batch of cookies*
I got one from posting and i think i got one someone sent to the item exchange.

Now I'm jealous because people getting kitties. .-. *can't remember if she did grab one*

Do you want my kitten then?

Nah, thanks. I want to get it myself since its a crane item. XD

Well good luck then and remember if it doesn't appear at first wait an hour and refresh and maybe it's in the new batch of items ^^

Oh jegus, I keep forgetting I'm a barkeep here. Whoops.

There is a bar!
What do you serve?

Er, I haven't taken inventory of the...inventory, but you can ask and i'll see if I have it >.>

Black currant snaps?
Spiced rum?
Mjöd?

I'll take a long island iced tea!

Oh, I definitely have mead in here.

...I mean, I did the last time I checked...but that was before I blacked out. Hopefully not on the mead.

...Maybe on the mead.

ANYWAYS. We should have a few bottles sommmmmewhhhhherrre...

I know we definitely have spiced rum. Want anything mixed with that? -makes a face at the thought of drinking plain rum-

As for the schnapps...We have peach, cherry...erm, hm. No black currant, sorry.

I can totally make a Long Island, though, but that might be the last of the triple sec. ...I've never tried a Long Island with other types of curacao. Should mix that sometime.

Peach Snaps? Ugh....
What kind of bottles are you keeping the mead in?
Not glass i hope?
Mead should be either in wood barrels or clay bottles.

And you are a pirate that don't drink spiced rum straight?
You my dear sir is a wuzz not a pirate.

straight rum is...ugh. It's much better in soda. My favorite being Dr Pepper.

but then, I'm not a pirate! So mixed drinks it is! Yay!

All the mead we've got is, unfortunately, fermented and stored in glass carboys. (Which reminds me, I don't see many people fermenting mead in pottery jars IRL. Strange.)

I drink vodka straight. (Rum is, unfortunately, not my thing.)

Okay, then ill have some cold apple juice ^^

I haven't had vodka before.

*sips her drink*

yummm.

One apple juice, coming up!

AC -- if you ever decide to have vodka, make sure the first thing you do /isn't/ to take a full shot in one gulp.

...Learned that the hard way. Well, I'd had vodka before, but a friend of mine with a /really high tolerance/ challenged me to do a shot. And uh. That shit burns.

haha!

yeah, I'll make sure to not do that. :P

edit: I think I had a vodka martini once? With lemon juice. That was pretty good.
