On the other side of the wall...

I saw this meme on omnivorously's LJ and like the sound of it:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other.

Sounds like an interesting challenge.

My family. Right.

Well, the reason I don't much talk about my family, is that I don't have one. Or, for all the purposes that matter, my family is made up of the friends around me - not blood relatives but chosen companions like maaseru and maaboroshi, and others you may notice being mentioned here on a regular basis.

My mother died of cancer in 1982 and I miss her still. My father is alive, and lives on the west coast; we occasionally talk on the phone and I write to him regularly (but not as regularly as I always intend). We are not close, and from my point of view, the relationship is somewhat problematic.

I have no brothers or sisters. My aunts and uncles are now dead, most of them within the last few years. I never had any children, though I wanted them.

Well, that certainly explains that. I'm sorry!

No problem! But you see why I don't talk about family - I just don't have family around.
