Forgetting Your [Sibling Day]

SaurfangSaurfang Registered User regular
Many months ago, my cousins exploded their Facebook page with something called "Sibling Day." My sister and I looked it up, because that's the kind of people we are, and it turns out sibling day was actually sometime in April. So it turned out our cousins' appreciation of their siblinghood was embarrassingly mis-timed. My sister and I resolved we would celebrate the true sibling day when it arrived. "I'll bake a cake!" my sister said.

Five minutes ago, I discovered that today, April 10th, is Sibling Day. True, my sister and I hung out, but we utterly failed to do anything to celebrate the holiday. We screwed up real bad. There was no cake. We just watched Justified and hung out with my wife and newborn baby. This was an abject failure. I did not purchase a pinata. We did not even explode our Facebook pages like the cousins we so rightfully mocked.

This thread is about sibling day, and appreciating your siblings. Why do you love/hate your sibling? Let us count the ways.

My sister is awesome. She's always been a support system for me and she's fun to hang out with and super hilarious. We grew up playing Baldur's Gate and other CRPGs together. She is continuing the trend of being awesome by being a fantastic aunt and visiting her niece like every other day.

    My older brother won't stop watching The Young Turks and anytime he talks for more than thirty seconds it turns into a rant about how corporations are all corporationy. Kinda makes me not want to spend time around him.

    My sister and I used to write a family newsletter called the Daily Blurb when we were...seven ish? I think it was published biannually. Trish did all the writing, and I think mostly I tried to figure out how to take pictures of clay monsters I had made so I could write stories about monsters.

    I have five half-siblings. The oldest uses Asperger's as an excuse to act like a shitheel. I don't like him much. The rest are cool.

    My sister is the phoniest person I know. I don't hate her, but I can honestly say that if we were not siblings I would never want to interact with her voluntarily.

    I traveled to see one awesome older brother last weekend, and I will be going to see my rad oldest brother and sister in law this weekend.
    Siblings are cool. Being the baby, I've learned a lot from all of them.

    My brother is cooler than you guys probably think.

    When he isn't holed up in his room he's pretty fun to hang out with.

    We're learning to play Go together.

    I have a half-brother and a sister. I don't see them much.

    My sister can be kind of snobby and elitist. I think the only thing she's ever liked without reservation is Archer. Which, hey, Archer rules, but there are other things that are good too.

    OH YEAH? My brothers are cooler than all ya'lls brothers!
    Just wait until they get back from their Secret Agent/Fighter Pilot Outerspace tour,
    and they'll show ya just how cool a real brother can be.

    (Learning Go together sounds really neat)

    My brother is a shitheel. No opinions on my half siblings yet as I've seen one of them maybe half a dozen times, and the other never.

    I also have a bunch of step siblings that I don't get to see very often or talk to much.

    One older step sister and two older step brothers.

    I was the baby of the family so I think they just don't like me.

    My brother is a lot like me, but a couple inches shorter and with a couple kilos extra muscle.

    We're remarkably alike in interests, tastes and character, however, so much so that basically we're referred to in tandem by our friends. Also, all of his friends became my friends and my friends became his friends. We're not always found together or in the same places, but we're largely seen as interchangeable.

    My brother is younger than me and probably on a career path to far more success and wealth. He is also super cool and funny and good-looking.

    He used to call me Dee when he was little because he couldn't pronounce "Sandy," and my favourite picture of us together is one where I'm reading to him on the sofa but here is another

    Also one time he asked me why the rocking chairs on the beach house porch were rocking when no one was in them and I told him ghosts were sitting there and he locked himself in the bathroom for like an hour plus

    But did he do a 5-year XCOM LP? You just need to make a sign about that so that people can tell you apart :P

    Speaking of brothers, I received a message log from Google Voice from a brother today.
    "Hey Girls Club. Hey, gimme a call back, call my cellphone, xxxxxxx. For some reason I don't. I saw the water and so I don't right now because it's Bryan off for some ice That was her white, I'm sorry. That way the rice will absorb the water So I hope it works until later this week, but if you could give me a call on my cellphone. That's the number (xxx) xxx-xxxx I'll see you on Saturday. Love you bye."

    I almost don't want to play message, because this sounds like a neat cryptic mystery.

    I'm waiting for the right time to kill my brother to wear his face, assume his identity, and live half of each of our lives.

    You hear that, @Theroadvirus? I'm coming for you, motherfucker.
