Edit: Can't believe none of you ST geeks corrected me - her name is Uhura not Uhuru - I was obviously thinking of Ayer's Rock...

# Is it bad that I'm looking forward to my stepdad leaving this weekend
because I am getting their printer-scanner for my desk?

# Probably not
if you don't like him. I dunno. :/

# It's not that I don't like him,
he's just never been family.
Well, neither is Ross...
Mum doesn't seem like family to me, either.
I don't really fit in with anyone I live with.

But it's always been like this.

# It's okay
to feel like that. I don't feel like my dad and stepmum are family a lot of the time.

# I don't really have a close family.
I don't like it, I see some people who are very close, like you and mofaha seem to be.
I want something like that.

I hate feeling this distant, this cut off from everyone.
(, Thu 20 Mar 2008, 22:43, archived)
# Aw
I can understand that. I dunno, I guess like, mofaha's been there since I can remember. I don't remember living with just me and mum, though I know we did, but I remember the divorce.

*huge hugs*

# *doesn't let go*
I can't remember the last time anyone hugged me.

I don't remember mum and dad's divorce.
One moment he was there, the next he wasn't.
I've spent more time alive without dad here than with.

Andy's been with is for almost 10 years now, and I never got close to him. I never got close to mum.
I'm closest to dad, but we don't talk about the past. We have, however, and it always ended in tears. And not all of them were mine.
I spend all week looking forward to seeing dad. Until recently that was all I look forward to, but now there are two other things.
Your letters, and a person I'm not going to mention, but I know you know what I mean.

# Gosh!
I didn't know all that. I mean, I don't get along with my mum, but I definately don't look forward to going to dad's. I used to. But now, it's just like...isolation or something.
(, Thu 20 Mar 2008, 22:58, archived)
# Hahah, I suppose there's a lot you don't know.
I look forward to seeing dad because he acts more than my mum does to influence my life.
Mum sees me as someone who can just get on with things and doesn't need to be told how to live my life, which is alright to a point.
But I get too focused on the wrong things, and dad knows that.
He's always pushing me and giving me a hard time, and I love him for it because I know what he's doing.
I look forward to seeing him because it's different every time, and I always learn something valuable from him.
That, and he's a silly bastard who doesn't know when to stop joking :)

otherwise, there's nowt wrong with a bit of avarice

# Hahah, mum's divorcing him.
He's been trying to find somewhere to stay for a while now.
Mum and her boyfriend are living in the lounge, and have been for weeks. With my stepdad and his son living with us the whole time.
It's been really weird around here.

# eep
I would describe this situation as "recipe for O_Oness"
(, Thu 20 Mar 2008, 22:54, archived)
# I would describe it is such, also.
I have not had a very good family life in general.
I try my hardest not to fall out with my friends, as few in number as they are.
I usually fail that, too.

# ah well
for what it's worth, those people with the perfect families suck ass :)

# Hmm. I don't think there's such thing as a perfect family.
Maybe people try to keep up appearances, but I don't think there's any way any relationship between two people could be considered "perfect"

# it's about degrees of suck
I guess enough of the right boxes ticked to tip it over the edge into total crap :/

# Until recently, we lived in a tiny cottage.
It was so small that barely any of us could fit in any room at one time.
Once I got a computer in my room, I never left.
Mum and Stepdad were always out working, Stepbrother with his girlfriend...
Sometimes, my stepsister visited. That made six of us, without my stepbrother's girlfriend.
It was hard because we were all in close proximity, and we kept fighting.

Mum thought that the house was the problem.
Eventually we moved out.

Things were good at first, but they began to revert back to the norm.
That's when mum realised she'd been lying to herself, and her husband, for the last two years of our life.

So now it's over.
This weekend marks the end of a ten year marriage, and I know it shouldn't affect me but it does.

I thought it had some relation to the original image.

If the legitimacy of her footwear is your biggest gripe about the show I'd say you were doing pretty well

# Oh I love Voyager and her character,
but the leap from borg ugly cyborg to sexah high heeled titty whore always bothered me a bit, not very Star Trek I felt, and very 'pander to the spotty trekky hairy palmers', I'm amazed it got passed frankly...

# at the risk of being outed as a sad twat (too late)
the bloke who played the second in command, I can't remember his name now, but he was so sick of how crap it was he kept asking for more money in the hope that they would sack him, they kept giving him more money :D

I always did feel he was treading water in the show tho, this may explain why (assuming u mean Chakotay)

# I read about it on teh internet, like all true nerds :)
he was at some fan thing, talking about his time on voyager and was generally not speaking kindly of those that had just pissed him off

and a quick google shows he wasn't shy about saying "this is crap" :)

# It was STUNNINGLY bad in teh early stages, series 1 t0 3 are mainly unwatchable,
however if you stick with it it improves as they stop being so damn desperate for viewing figures and remember to write a script that makes a modicum of sense to any vaguely able minded being, and some of the later series, in particular 4 and 5, are fantastic stuff IMO, and it became my fave Star Trek spin off.

Jerry Ryan (7 of 9) is a stunning actress and really gets to shine in this series. Shame they dressed her like a shiny bimbo really...

# Cathexis
Worst Episode Ever, and it was mainly a Chakotay heavy episode, and my word, it was awful, no redeeming features whatsoever, it was the Battlefield Earth of the series, srzly! :P

*edit* I think you'll find modulating the frequencies will solve any problem! ;)

# If you mean Chakotay,
then along with the majority of Star Trek fans, I wish he had been sacked. Along with Janeway.
They were both fucking shit.

# Heresy!!
Janeway was the badgers nadgers, she just suffered from the same fate as everyone else in this spin off, the early scripts were SHITE!

If you wanna see shit, see Sisko, my gawd, that man couldn't act if you payed him.

And they did.
