I'm starting to think I should keep a running tally: "people on the community who want Azula dead (or at least grievously injured)". Maybe I could even count nonmembers, too-- then I could include my father, though his methods were a bit more passive.

Still, frivolities and jokes aside-- I'd like some information on this group that calls themselves "the Organization", particularly the member sinister_sniper. I'm not frightened of what he could do to me-- I'm an extremely competent martial artist, as well as a very good shot not that I have any guns here-- I just like to have at least a bit of knowledge about the people who threaten me, or threaten those that I have decided to defend. You never know when such information will be useful.

...

Right, then. I also have another question: for those of you that have been "adopted" in some way, what do you call the people-- "adoptive parents", if you will-- that you live with now? I'm curious.

OOC: Still affected by this!

He's not an adoptive parent! He's an adoptive brother! In the making.

My question had to do with parents.

[maraich]

Why would you want an adoptive parent? Brothers are better.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I apparently have them whether I want them or not.

[maraich]

Well, I call Yuan Yuan because that's his name. I don't see what else I would call him.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, it's different with "parents".

[maraich]

Why?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Most people don't call their parents by their first names-- their birth parents, at least.

[maraich]

That's different than meeting completely knew people when you're full-grown.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously. There is a reason that I'm asking.

[maraich]

I wouldn't called anyone mom or dad at this point.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Then clearly you don't fit the target audience for my question.

[maraich]

If you're looking for a bunch of responses that say, "I would call them mom or dad", then why did you ask? Most people aren't going to just start calling people that out of nowhere when they're almost full-grown.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that's what I was looking for; I'm not looking for anything. I'm simply asking a question for people that it applies to to answer. I don't see why that's so difficult for you to understand.

[maraich]

I told you, I'd call them by their names. What's so difficult about that to understand? Most people would. It'd be weird to call them anything else.

But you haven't been adopted by anyone. Are you being intentionally dense?

2/2

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ugh, forget it; I'll just use you anyway.

If they had titles, would you use them, too?

[maraich]

If you only want to talk to people who were adopted at an older age why don't you just address the post to all one or two people on the community that it applies to?

No. I don't even use Vayne's title and he's my boss.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I addressed it to anyone who was adopted. Considering I didn't know how many people here were, that was enough.

Hm.

[maraich]

You call them whatever the hell you call them now until you feel like calling them something else. It's that simple.

I'm not asking for advice, I'm asking for people's personal experiences.
