My family is not like other people's families.


Last night her kid complained to me that he has the theme song from "Full Metal Alchemist" stuck in his head and I told him he was lucky cause at least he can hum it in public. I have "The Internet is for Porn" stuck in my head and people will just look at you funny if they catch you singing that.

Then he got this inspired look in his eyes and said "Hey wouldn't it be cool if that song-and-dance demon from "Once More with Feeling, what was his name?"

"Sweet," I supplied.

"Yeah, wouldn't it be cool if Sweet was real and you were just walking down the street and all of a sudden everyone you passed started singing 'The Internet is for, internet is for, internet is for Pooooorn!' only it is real people and not puppets."

And - Ladies and Gentleman - other than the "not puppets" it was at that moment that I knew the true joy of influencing a younger generation.

other than the "not puppets"

Well, he's still young. You've got plenty of time to impress upon him the need for puppets.

I blame the fact that he was shielded from the Puppet Ministry.

Bunny says "The world needs more corrupted children. We feel so alone."

She cheered the story.

Well he is 15. I don't think it is possible to corrupt a 15 year old by letting them listen to Avenue Q.

Now I want to form a thrash metal band comprised entirely of Muppet-look-a-likes and call it Puppet Ministry of God.

Bunny is only 12. I'm busily corrupting her. She leaned over during our viewing of PoA and said "Mom! Origami lovenote!"

She's such fun.

A fine young man. I couldn't be more proud!

My 6 year old steals my manga and looks at the pictures in her room. I pretend not to notice. I, too, am doing my part for the future. She knows who Sanzo is. This makes me proud.

Drat. Never mind that last post - it's gone!

OK - let's see if it works this time (http://www.deviantart.com/view/12902227/).

Did I tell you that geekturnedvamp said her thirteen-year-old cousin had started reading Angel Sanctuary? I said I felt no pity, because when we wanted insane Gothic melodramas romanticizing incest, all we had to fall back on was V.C. Andrews, and Kaori Yuki is way better than that.

I know, man, these kids today don't know how good they have it.

Are the Muppet-look-a-likes going to be Muppet-sized? I'm torn between the draw of the wee thrashers and the omg-that's-fucked-up appeal of human-sized Muppet-look-a-alikes.

God I read *all* the VC Andrews books. Even the one about the girl in Appalachia who has to have sex with her Dad or something but then it turns out he isn't her Dad and her Dad has money and she goes to a boarding school and one of the girls there is jealous and spikes her food with laxatives at the ball and so she ends up writhing on her floor and loosing control of her bowels in her dorm room all over her pretty dress.

Or something like that - maybe I remember it wrong. And there was an extra pervy old dude hanging around. Anytime a VC Andrews chick met an older man, I was all "RUN!" unless that chick was Cathy and then I'd just feel sorry for the old dude.

You gave up on V.C. Andrews way later than I did. I admire your fortitude. I think.

The books were easy to obtain. That was pretty much what I read - books I could get.

Heaven!

I think the deal was that her dad was her dad but her mom wasn't really her mom. Her real mom was some rich girl he had fallen hopelessly in love with who had died in childbirth. Then he married this really stupid mountain woman stereotype. Then he got syphillus from screwing the wrong whores and went crazy and started thinking little Heaven was the dead girlfriend. Of course the stupid mountain woman stereotype also got the syphillus and did the deathbed confession where she told little Heaven that she really belonged to this rich family and Heaven blew town.

I think.

The book that came out after that one - Garden of Shadows - was actually really good (at least compared to all of the others.) ; )
