Two days. Two wedding invitations.

I'm going to go drown my pathetic spinster arse in non-alcoholic jelly shots in a desperate attempt to hold onto my youth now.

	Sorry love, you were over the hill at 22. We'd best put you out to pasture already. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Damn. Reckon it's time to let my mother marry me off then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 05:33 am UTC (link)
	She'll have to settle for some toothless old dodderer now, but she'll sort something out. You don't mind hairy ears, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as they're wax-free, I suppose I could secretly trim them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No wax, right. It's good to have standards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Too many standards, and I'll still be a spinster when I'm your age. The horror. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 05:36 am UTC (link)
	If you shag about, you could at least have a kid you don't know who the daddy is, so you won't be alone in your spinsterhood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Excellent point. I'll get started on that, and you can explain my mum's bastard grandchild to her in nine months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 05:46 am UTC (link)
	I think she already knows where babies come from. She probably had to explain it to your dad to begin with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 05:47 am UTC (link)
	I think you have that one backwards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Sure about that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Not entirely, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to know either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 05:57 am UTC (link)
	I'll ask her for you. And take the punch she gives for it for you, too. I'm that good a cousin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 06:04 am UTC (link)
	You're my favourite. I'm going to die alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 06:19 am UTC (link)
	I'm everyone's favorite. Or no one's, I always forget. Just take someone down with you, then you won't be alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 06:22 am UTC (link)
	Combination of both, I reckon. But the only people I'd want to take down are the ones I'd never want to be with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misterpadfoot 2012-02-05 06:50 am UTC (link)
	Suppose you'll have to resign yourself to lonely death then, love. I'll say nice things at your funeral. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 07:16 am UTC (link)
	Thanks, cousin. That's the most I can ask for, I suspect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And this is the family banter I've been missing out on for so many years? Merlin. I suspect this is rather unique to my brother, however. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] smokyiris 2012-02-06 12:48 am UTC (link)
	You missed out, mate. Reckon you can catch up now though. You're not married either, are you? Is this a new Black family curse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] spareheir 2012-02-06 12:56 am UTC (link)
	So I'm to encourage myself to make jokes about your spinsterhood, instead of compliment you? No wonder our family is so completely dysfunctional. No. I just don't like women. To sleep with, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] smokyiris 2012-02-06 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Hmm. Since Sirius does the insults so well, why don't you focus on the compliments? It makes for a nice balance. Lucky. At least you have a reason. I get the look from my mother every time I'm over there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] spareheir 2012-02-06 01:21 am UTC (link)
	But I do the snark so well and I am so bad at compliments, or so I'm told. Usually by Sirius, actually, so I suppose that's not entirely valid. I'd consider you the lucky one, cousin. If my psychotic mother was still alive, I'm sure I'd be getting a lot more then just looks in her quest to continue the family line unblemished. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] smokyiris 2012-02-06 01:25 am UTC (link)
	Don't listen to Sirius. He'll say anything to make himself seem cooler by comparison. You could always adopt a Muggleborn, you know. Introduce it to your mother's portrait. I'd pay good money to see that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: [Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] spareheir 2012-02-06 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Ah, finally someone who gets that. You are officially my favorite cousin. I'm sure introducing her to my male companion would do enough. Sadly (not), I think Sirius destroyed the portrait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tonks/Sirius/Regulus] smokyiris 2012-02-06 01:31 am UTC (link)
	Excellent! That's what I've always wanted, you know. You have a boyfriend? Can I meet him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes, I'm sure you've always wanted to be the favorite cousin of your half-mad former Death Eater relation. I think you've been hanging around Sirius too much.

~~I've never called him that I don't even know if he even would How do I explain how he and I~~ I don't if that's what he... Sirius calls him my cabana boy... I ... uh, if he wants to, I suppose? He's rather shy.

	I've always been a bit of a rebel. Your cabana boy? Why not -- ohh, I see. Right. Well. I'd love to meet him. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Aren't non-alcoholic jello shots just depressing, unsatisfying small portions of jello? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-05 07:42 am UTC (link)
	Exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	lycandy 2012-02-06 11:26 am UTC (link)
	I only got one wedding invitation, still makes me feel very single. have a jelly shot for me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	smokyiris 2012-02-06 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	At least you're a man and can get away with being single. If you're single, you can play it off as being cool. If I'm single, I'm undesirable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lycandy 2012-02-07 02:13 pm UTC (link)
	Depends what circles you run in. Being a single pro Quidditch player is uncool, apparently. I'm sure you're not undesirable. (Reply to this) (Parent)
