Do you normally create a version of your own family?

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I forgot to add, about the tangent thing... it made me think of the Big Bang Theory when they all have scotch tape and kept ripping it out from each other.

@Midevil_Chaos  

It's completely normal to be socially awkward at times, I often get called nosey if I want to know more about something. 😂 The majority of people I've been friends with have always been quite introverted, and it takes a bit to make them feel like they can say certain things, and not feel like they're going to be judged, or offend for saying more than 'bad weather today, huh'. 😂

I also watch a bit of QVC I have to admit, Lol. I never want to buy anything from them either, mainly because a lot of it is overpriced IMO. They do sell quite a bit of tech now though, on the shopping channels I see they sell all kinds of things. Even a humongous clay Buddha.😂 I just thought to myself 'do they actually sell any of these'.  🤣

No, sadly no David Duchovny lookalikes that I know of. 😂 As for the tangent thing, I meant about the family aspect of the thread. rather than me blabbing about the size of amazon pantry boxes, complaining about the prices of cardboard boxes, and mentioning a beekeeping website. Which is quite a tangent IMO. 🤣 that being said, I don't really know why I put that after I said my dog's permanently messy, I should've put it before that. I just realized how confusing that is now. I'm a mystery to myself most of the time. 😂 *X-files music plays*  

As for The Crucible, I've never watched it. After reading the plot I know why I haven't, Lol. It does sound like a depressing film. 😂 

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Define the term, "at times". Socially normal... as if that's a thing 😂 You have to be awkward socially, that's the norm. Right? Right? No? *me/ walks away in shame*

If I may brag for a moment, I think I'm probably a lot nosey than you are. Not sure that's a good thing. 🤣 That being said, it seems you have a knack for finding introverted people... Surprise! I'm introverted! 😂😂😂 And I dunno, bad weather can be offensive lol. So offensive.

I actually had to Google QVC. In Canada, it's literally called The Shopping Channel. Why complicate stuff, eh dear United States? LOL. Please tell me you bought the Buddha statue. I used to have a few. I don't know where they are. I had a medium sized one, maybe around 10-12 inches in height. It was epic, he was on a turtle, why? I don't know.

Well... if no David Duchovny, was about Gillian Anderson then? That would be epic if you have at least the other partner. Just saying.

As for what you stated about babbling, naw, you're fine! I usually don't talk much to people. If I do, it's usually because that person is awesome. I usually wouldn't share this information as it's maybe embarrassing? I don't know if it is lol, but I assume some people might consider it so. I've probably spoken to you more than I have with most of my friends. 🤣 So random discussions are fine. Honestly, you probably know more about me than most of my friends. But hear me out! I'm usually more open online, because with people you meet first (in person), there is literally this wall (ok fine, figuratively speaking) and you have this entire thing about small talk and you sorta have to get to know them before you can become friends - adulting is hard in that regard. Whereas online, there isn't this wall that prevents you from being yourself, because if someone really wants to judge you, you move on and it's their loss. While if you get along with someone, great! In fact, I belong to a Discord server for a game I play, and we're maybe 6 or 7 in there that actively talk everyday, and we consider each other family. An online presence is something which is a blessing on occasion, because at times it's where you can meet people you get along with more than other people in your own area.

You know the term "fake it till you make it"? That's my life story socially, and I'd like to think I've become fairly proficient at it. I learnt a lot over time, and I'm better at it. Sometimes in ways that makes adulting awkward.

"I'm a mystery to myself most of the time" I like that. One day you have a dog, the next you have a cat and you wonder how that was possible. On the third day, you have a guinea pig and become confused. Do I have the gist of it?

Girl, you should watch The Crucible. At least once. I liked it, and considering I'm not a huge fan of those older types of movies based in the past for the most part, that one was good. To be fair, I watched it 2 decades ago. 😂 So, I am basing my assumption on a young me.

@Midevil_Chaos  Exactly, what is normal? 😂 There really isn't a normal, just a socially accepted manner for which is considered being normal. everyone has different ideas of normality. I never liked that word anyway it suggests boring to me. 😂 

Bad weather can be very offensive! don't know why I put that, Lol. I was tired when I wrote it. and forgot last week I got caught in a hailstorm with gale force winds, suffice to say I was extremely offended, Lol.

I didn't buy the buddha, It was almost as big as the presenter. 😂 It would've been fine if he was a baby buddha. The shipping on it was accurate for the size too, Lol, you could buy a few small buddhas for the price of the shipping on a humungous one. 🤣 

I also don't have a Gillian Anderson lookalike that I know of either. The X-files remake might be on the backburner for now. 🤣   

Adulting is very difficult indeed, So I just try to avoid it as much as possible. 😂 Having a discord group is fun, I know of many, but I'm actually not in any. But people who are get very close to one another. I remember chatting to a friend who told me she's in many discords, for her many interests. She's in 2 youtubers discords, then one for her favourite soccer/football team, and one for historical fashion. One of the girls she met on a YouTube discord is one of her best friends now, they chat almost everyday. She's Australian and my friend is Dutch. I find it amazing you can talk to people all over the world. The internet can be harmful in some ways, but very positive in others. 😊

Yes, you do have the gist of it. 😄 I find myself thinking why did I even say that yesterday? Or why did I put the remote control in the fridge? Then ensures a search operation to find it, only to be shocked to find it somewhere I don't remember going. 🤣 

I might watch The Crucible, I've watched a couple of Winona Ryder's films, and have always been weirded out by the end of them 😂. I don't know if I can handle anymore sad endings after RDR2, I mean the first game was sad but the second was even more depressing. 😂 I try to play games that cheer me up now after that, Lol. ⭐

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Well... I am normal. And most others are not normal. That's how I see it. Perhaps I am boring 🤣 but, what can I say? I lived a very awesomely sheltered life, or something. I'll go with that!  Damn, seems like you got out of it unscathed. Damn hailstorm! Kudos! 😄 

We both know the presenter was the size of a hobbit. Thus, the Buddha wasn't *that* big. Am I right? 😎 How much was the shipping? A few hundred dollars? If ever you want to gift a Buddha, I think my aunt might enjoy having one. 😂

We can make it work. Who says we need look-alikes? I look nothing like David Duchovny, and you nothing like Gillian Anderson. But, it'll awesome re-creating the X-Files. I'll see myself out now. Though, you gotta admit it'd be pretty funny to actually remake the X-Files with a low budget.

Wat's your trick when it comes to avoiding adulting? Is it hiring a bunch of younger adults 😂 and then having them do all the chores in the house? That's the smart thing to do, I mean sure, it'd be expensive, but you know.

Hold on... you're not in a Discord group? 😮 That is hard to believe, considering you're probably cooler than me. 🤣 I am in shock to hear that you're not. Well, if ever you're looking for a random one that has good people in it, lemme know. Oh, and I will tell you a secret: I only ever use the term soccer myself. Ok, not a secret, as I will say: "you mean soccer?"

I had to re-read that twice... you placed a remote control in the fridge? I can see how you could make that mistake. People make everything look edible, I can't blame you for thinking it was food? Right, you thought it was food? Right? That would be funny. Look at it this way: you can buy cookies that are in a veggie bag, why? Because the kids won't look in a veggie bag for cookies - adulting 101 at its highest peak where something is NOT what it appears to be. At least, that's the idea behind the concept. When I saw that online, I thought that was hilarious! AND smart.

Wynona Ryder, it brings back memories. Also, I hope you've watched all current seasons of Stranger Things? Such a good show! Although if anything, I do love when she dances in Beetlejuice. I loved that movie. So good.

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

Also, I meant to add: I assume we're in a similar timezone. Seems like someone is going to bed very late, hope you're at least watching a movie or something when you're replying. As for the part about depressing games... Good times. Ok, not really, but, I assume you play some Kirby games, or something?

@Midevil_Chaos Late reply yet again! Apologies.

I have been going to bed slightly too late recently. I am a night owl, but sometimes it gets out of hand. Especially if I'm going to bed almost at the same time I've got to get up. 😂 I've always had that problem, so it's not a new thing. 😅

I think doing a remake of the X-files with some inflatable aliens, costumes from H&M, and some overly fake looking wigs. And it would still be better some some of the rubbish Netflix and other film studios are making 😂. I still can't believe how Netflix take things and turn them into odd fan fictions. 🤣 I've seen so many 'adaptations' that have made unintentional comedies. It reminds me them memes that are like, for example:  'Luke Skywalker played by a Jeep' 'Han Solo played by Ice Cube' 'Princess Leia played by Mr. Mackay from South Park'. I don't know whether you've seen them memes but they always make me laugh, embarrassingly so, I have to admit. 😂 

In fact there are many films that are deadly serious that have made me laugh. Either because of a low budget, or just a completely awful story that makes zero sense. 😂 

And yes I'm not in any discord. 😂 But I never have been particularly 'cool'. It reminds me of you're earlier response to @simsplayer818 where you said you'd never "partied" in terms of like "clubbing", me neither. maybe I should now, just to see if I do like drinking a bunch of alcohol and jumping up and down a lot. 🤣

As for games I'm sorry to say I've never played Kirby. I can play games with darker themes without being that affected by it. I don't know what is about RDR2 that got to me, I think it was just that it there was no satisfying ending that saddened me. I also felt like shaking all of the main characters which didn't help! Lol. But everyone whose played RDR feels that I think. �� 

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

You got me scared there for a day lol. I'm sorry though, hope I'm not making you stay up late on my account. 😥

We could do that. I can act, believe or not. It's been a long while, though more Shakespearian stuff. I mean, it's been a very long time - but I'm sure I could make someone cry as my writing tends to do that at times, so that would help with the acting. When you said from H&M, I thought you were talking about M&M and was very confused as to why you'd want us to get costumes at a supermarket. I was like, "they sell costumes?" Until I understood you said H&M, then that made more sense considering what they sell in comparison.

Really? If anything, I've seen some weird parodies in some Simpsons shorts. Around 5 minutes long or so. I do, however, watch Netflix way more. I've been watching some Anime on there actually. I've never really watched Anime, but I've started watching a bit - but more of the older genre like InuYasha. Considering I don't really look like a nerd, you've be surprised about some of the stuff I do  at times lol.

Girl, when you said Mr. Mackay, I knew exactly who you meant LOL. Still nice of you to add South Park in there just in case. As for the memes you're referring to, send them my way if you get the chance. Oh! I remember once when I was probably in my early 20s, I went on a 'sorta date' with a girl. We went to see The Hills Have Eyes. She was laughing throughout the movie. 😂 Sounds like you 2 are similar in that respect. To be fair, I have watched movies which certainly did not intend laughter to be part of the experience XD

Finally! Someone who understands me 😆 I've never been someone to party... you see that bench there? Yeah? That's where I'll be, thank you very much! 😂 I am grateful my friends growing up in elementary and high school weren't the partying type. The fact that you aren't either as an adult? That is what I needed to hear lol. For me, I've never really drank throughout my life, as I never understood the appeal of it. But, I'm also just not a social butterfly by nature. Unless it's with a single person face to face, that's different. My offer of the Discord still stands if you're ever interested.

Thank God... I was just saying Kirby to be nice, but I've never ever liked Kirby. He's like a nightmare within a fluffy world. When you see him, you run for your life because you don't know what he's gonna do.

You know, I'll always remember when someone said that the Goombas in the Mario games are just minding their own business, and then out of nowhere, some man stomps them to death. Like, that Goomba could have a family, you don't know. Mario is THE antagonist of the franchise if you think about it looool.

Tell me, have you ever played the original Playstation game called Silent Hill with the lights out? That game, even to this day, is THE game that will... that will... *breathing in and out* scare you shitless. And I used to watch horror movies when I was younger, and there was nothing scarier than that game.

@Midevil_Chaos 

Don't worry I've always stayed up late, I'm quite a night owl. I've always been the one to keep other people awake too long. I always say to them don't stay up late just because I'm a vampire. 🤣 

You sound quite the actor. I could never get into Shakespeare, as the old English language boggled my mind. 🤣 You making people cry with your writing proves it's good. I can cry easily at fiction too. Including Disney films even, I remember watching Coco and crying like a baby. I couldn't believe I was crying at a supposedly happy, sweet Disney film 😂 When I cry at fiction people always say "don't worry it isn't real". But I always say does it matter if something is real or not. I've always found it easy to put myself into the in the shoes of another person. It's just empathy whether the person is fictional or not. If fiction makes you laugh or cry, or both, it's a sign it's good. Sometimes that's not the case though, Sometimes you're crying because it's extremely bad (I have done that at a few films and games). 😂

There's nothing wrong with watching anime, it doesn't make you sound like a nerd at all. Some of the coolest people watch anime, I never knew what they were talking about though, they'd be like "You ever watched? ect ect", and I'd be like just staring blankly thinking the rock I must live under is a big one. It took me forever to know what people meant by "Naruto run". 😂 The same people would stare at me the same when I was like "You ever played the MySim series? OMG that series slaps, The MySims kingdoms soundtrack is an absolute banger" 🤣 I have a love for a few obscure Wii games they just give me heathy nostalgia. 😂

Glad to hear there's a girl out there who will laugh hysterically throughout a film about mutant killers in a public movie theater. Lol. Hope you had fun too, and not just her. 🤣 I've never watched Hills Have Eyes, although it's been on TV a few times, slashers don't interest me that much. The original was by Wes Craven though and his films always made me laugh, so I might have done the exact same thing as her. 😂

What you said about the Goomba's reminded me of RTGame talking about the Goombas being innocent pawns in bowsers weird obsession with kidnapping Peach, Lol. Poor Goombas 😂

Lmao silent hill is scary af to this day, I remember my brother playing it. He's more of a Mortal Kombat kinda guy, but loves many older games. I remember that, and resident evil 4's merchant with his 10/10 quotes like "Got some rare things on sale, stranger" 🤣 

@Mrs_K_Desormeaux 

I've always been a night owl too. People who go to bed at like 22:00... Why? Don't you have anything better than getting up at 6:00? Even in university, my courses would start at like 10:00 minimum lol. ----- If you're as pale as me, you're probably a vampire. 😂

Oh, I don't know about that. Speaking in a theatrical voice is pretty simple, at least for me. And the those teary eyes... an art. 🤣 However, I am shy though.

Indeed! 😄 Whenever I write, I have a process and people would probably think it's nuts. I either listen my music collection, or I listen specifically to a track from a game - one sad af. That gets me in the mood to write the saddest things. When it comes to writing above anything else, I have an innate ability for that. I always have.

I would be genuinely curious to know what movies you watch that you cry. I have to admit, I've never heard anyone tell anyone else, "it's not real, don't cry" unless they're 5 years old, in which case it's because their prefrontal cortex isn't developed fully. Why would an adult say that to another adult? When an adult cries, they obviously know it's not real, but the emotions evoked ARE real. Ok, but I have to say... I am confused about why you'd cry about a bad game (or movie). I need an actual explanation for that lol.

Oh, I don't know anything about anime. Well barely anything (I only know stuff about InuYasha lol). I know who Naruto is, and that's it. What Naruto Run is, I don't know. 😂 That being said, I couldn't tell you the story, backstory or anything else about Naruto except what he looks like... at least his face. What Wii games are you referring to?

LOL, I can't recall much of it. Still not sure if it was a date tbh. It's been what, 10 years at this point. Maybe more? I've never seen her since. 😂 I dunno, I think her fb got hacked or something *shrugs*. Don't worry, not by me lol. Speaking of horror-like movies, have you seen the remake of Pet Semetary? It's my all time fav movie. It's so good. Like OMG good.

"Glad to hear there's a girl out there who will laugh hysterically throughout a film about mutant killers in a public movie theater." Sounds like you're one of those individuals too, like her? 😂 No judgement. If anything, I liked her for what it's worth. Oh! I will always remember this though, I went to the movies with my brother once - it was the Predator vs Alien movie (or whatever it's called). The Predator was in front of the girl after their *victory*. The Predator I *think* had his helmet on, and right before he took it off, a viewer screamed, "kiss!" and the theater burst out laughing. Hey! When you look as good as the Predator in the movie? Can you blame the viewer for screaming, "kiss!".

Wes Craven, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

As for the Goomba part, it could have been him saying that. I can't remember where I saw it tbh. Possibly him (though the name is not familiar) or maybe Mike Matei or AVGN. I honestly can't recall.

"Lmao silent hill is scary af to this day" Yeeeeees, it is so scary. Who cares about modern graphics if you can't have the mood, ambiance etc. from a game like Silent Hill. When that ghostly apparition of a baby appears and scares the crap out of you? Lord have mercy.
