I think it has hit THFU temperatures here. It's 11PM, and I'm still sweating.

Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Where's SuperPornyPants when you need her?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Apparently its too hot for me.

Pfft. You are made of the hot.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
She listened carefully and nodded her head and said there were some cultural issues in conflict, but that frankly there was also some sheer fucked-upedness coming from P-C's family.
Well. Um. Sucks for me, I guess.
Aha! You need to set your sights on a nice British Asian chick!
I do dig the accents...
You could tell your mum you're going for the strong silent routine...but it doesn't sound like she's going to listen, so I'll just shut up with my Helpful Suggestions.
I feel like My Mom's Version of Me and My Version of Me are akin to a polarizing issue in fandom: neither side's going to change its opinion, no matter what the other side says.
When I finally did, I felt like you were a bit displeased with me, but maybe that's part of the whole quiet thing.
Oh, no, I'm terribly sorry if I gave you that impression! I was just surprised to see you; I didn't know you were coming. Plus the Wonder Woman thing threw me off.

No. That means you get to set some of your own boundaries about what you'll put up with. And you don't have to sever or even risk your family connections to do that.
You can negotiate with you Mom like this. "Mom, I'm not getting married this year. I'm probably - but who knows - not getting married next year. You're making me miserable asking about it all the time. When I'm ready, we can talk about it. I want and trust your input. But I'm 24 - there's time. I'm just starting my career. That's my focus. I know you're freaked out, but just trust me a little. Also? I'm not getting married this year, so shush."
With you Uncle...move out. It's no fun living with an arch-conservative who's whaling on your cousin.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
is learning that too hot for others is just right for me.

What David said (typo that was tempting to keep in? Typed "Shat" instead of "What"). I wish I'd set boundaries earlier. I would have been happier. Learn from my middle-aged wisdom! You can love your family and yet admit that they're driving you crazy. Set boundaries. Protect yourself. Sometimes that even makes the relationship with the family better. But at the least it will make your experience in life better. Ah, sanity.
