Well, in case you haven't figured it out, my answer to nerves is alcohol 
I once got so nervous about having a boy over we opened a bottle of scotch...he woulda had two or three drinks...and I downed the bottle...
...and the worst of it was I wasn't anywhere near 
enough to calm my nerves

Tanzen and I do tend to rabbit on a bit don't we 
1 thing to remember is a lot of people who seem to be very confident aren't. Most people worry about relationships and what people think of them far too much. I know I do. Better to get on with living your life. As for sex and alcohol 2 things best done (if at all) when you're secure and happy to do them. never let people peer pressure you into doing them if you don't want to

If it's any consolation, think of the backlog Kitty had to deal with
I am very sure of myself as a general rule...in fact, as far as people go, I don't think I'm that bored...but I do know enough of the world to know that most people wouldn't agree with me, so I tend to keep to myself
Peer pressure is ridiculous, and I can happily say it's something I never gave into. And I never did anything involving boys or beer until I was 18 (at all 
)...being a teenager was difficult enough for me without adding further complications
As far as good behaviour goes I'm probably the worst person to go on about it...but I think the important thing is to always know what you're doing and to not get yourself into situations that you can't control. And to remember that the worst things we do are the ones that keep coming back to haunt us.

Be an auntie instead
Get to spend the good times with them and avoid the nappy-changing

Ahh, but I am an aunty and I don't get to avoid it as much as I'd like to

Well if you were a mum it would be even harder to avoid
I've volunteered to go and stay with my sister for a week shortly after she has her baby
Am I a complete idiot or what?
The rest of the family very cunningly are all visiting her before she has the baby

That just means you're a caring a considerate brother/uncle...
...or a complete sap...one of the two...

I suspect little sis will still end up doing most of the work
shes always been scarily competent

god knows but I expect it would be even untidier than it is now (my sis and mum are both compulsive tidyuppers)

god knows who I take after since my father was always hardworking and ambitious
perhaps I should ask my mum about the milkman

tanzen Posted Aug 5, 2004
Well, I drink beer, am not the tidiest of people and can on occassion swear like a sailor...I guess that means I take after my Dad
