I saw the FB post. He's a badass.

[wordsofwisdom]

I'm pretty much going to call all dickheads twatsicles now.

[independenceday]

I think that's pretty much the best word ever. Fin for the win.

[wordsofwisdom]

Fin for the win? OMFGLOL.

[independenceday]

Cheesy sister fail. So so bad.

[wordsofwisdom]

I can't even tell him that one. You'll get The Look™.

[independenceday]

Is it a deadly look?

[wordsofwisdom]

Oh, no. It's not deadly. If you've pissed him off that much, he gets very... vocal. It's more like, if you're basic and you know it, clap your hands. Because he's gon' be making you feel the most basic of bitches.

[independenceday]

LOL! Now I'm going to be singing "If you're basic and you know it" in my head. Just so you know. I think he's adorable, Shan.

[wordsofwisdom]

My job here is done. He is! Oh my god, I think about him all the time.

[independenceday]

Little brother prerogative, huh? :P I can't tell! Okay, lies, I totally can. I'm so happy for you. I couldn't even try to be scary big sister with him. He was so sweet!

[wordsofwisdom]

I just never thought I could actually BE with someone, you know? Like all the parts of being with someone. Which, okay, I knew logistically I probably could, but I always thought it would be just too much hassle.

[independenceday]

You're really self-sufficient, Shan. Of course you have times when you need extra help, but so does anyone else. I love that you and Fin have this sweet, normal teenager relationship. He's got his illness, and you've got your disability, but it doesn't define the relationship at all.

[wordsofwisdom]

Most days. It's just fun. Even on the days it's not so fun, we just cuddle or talk. We talk a lot. I think that's one of my favourite parts. The talking hasn't been hard or awkward.

[independenceday]

That's huge, too. You need someone like that in your life, that you can just open up and spill your guts to. He's such a sweetie, Shan. And you two are a fun pair. It only stands to reason you'd be having fun together, too.

[wordsofwisdom]

Yeah, spent nearly a week doing that. I don't want to do that again for about another 5 years. He could have any guy, but he wants me.

[independenceday]

There's plenty of time to talk without needing a major gut spilling session. That's because you're amazing, little brother.

[wordsofwisdom]

Then, it's REALLY hard to talk when you're laughing too much at fart jokes. You're too busy trying not to wet yourself. I don't know. I'm just a guy. But he's amazing. Oh my god, you should see him play the drums, and he can sing.

[independenceday]

That moment when you remember that your gorgeous, wonderful baby brother is still a gross boy at heart. :P You're not just a guy, Shan. Far from it. Has he heard you sing?

[wordsofwisdom]

You're a mom to three boys, Kel. There's nooooooooo avoiding it. Oh, yeah! I showed him some of the stuff I've recorded and recorded a song just for him. He said he maybe wants to start a band. There's a guy he knows, he's an Aussie. He plays guitar. But I don't know.

[independenceday]

I know. I'm going to have farts coming at me in all directions. You recorded a song for him? That's fucking adorable. What did you record? And why don't you know? I think a band would be awesome.

[wordsofwisdom]

You should probably know, Fin is shameless when it comes to farts, so you can add him to the mix. Yeah, because when I met him and he told me he had feelings for me, and I knew I was having them for him, it just felt right. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. I'd just be holding them all back.

[independenceday]

LOL! I'm surrounded by farting boys! I'd say thank fuck for Zara, but she's worse than the lot of you put together. :P I love it. That's a great song, Shan. You're one of the best singers I know. You wouldn't be holding anyone back.

[wordsofwisdom]

You are! THERE'S NO ESCAPE. Fin broke the fart barrier, like, the second time we hung out. The song was just how I felt about him. We've had times where we've not felt good, and we just lie together and cuddle or talk. I love how he feels cuddling me. He's just warm and cozy. What if it's just awkward for a band to have a disabled person around, though? I wouldn't want them to be thinking that but not wanting to say anything in case they hurt my feelings.

[independenceday]

Ah, teen romance. Okay, that just makes my heart so happy, Shan. Knowing that you're being cared for and adored like that is just what any older sibling wants for their younger sibling. You really are head over, aren't you? I love it. I don't think it will be awkward at all. The only way it would be awkward is if they were going for choreographed dancing boyband levels, but it sounds like they're looking for musical talent, and you've got that in bucketloads.
