My cousin has killed me dead

[teawithterry]

If you guys dont hear from me for a while, assume I'm dead. My "goth-wizard" of a cousin is apparently immune to Silencing spells, and as a result, I’ve not been able to sleep for days. WHY WILL HE NOT STOP RECITING BAD POERTY??

Tell my mother I want a black coffin. With gold handles. And burry me with some bubble tea.

Smack your cousin Terry.

[teawithterry]

He is built like a whale. The smacks just bounce right off.

[millieslytherin]

Couldnt you bribe him?

[teawithterry]

With what????

[good_old_lisa]

Oh, dear. Just tell him it's bad. Insult his gothic-ity. Tell him he's a 'crap amateur and that he'd be better off being a normal, since he's not pasty enough and not good enough, and that he can take from a friend of yours that is, in fact, a very elite goth, and goths far better than you ever will. And writes better poetry.', in Jessie's words.

There's nothing more wounding to someone of that type, I've found, than an insult to their pride. He'll sulk for a while, probably, but at least he'd be quiet, no?

[millieslytherin]

That might drive him to create a mess.

[good_old_lisa]

Might?

[teawithterry]

Thank you! I insulted him for a while (VERY easy to do) and now he's sitting in the corner. He's probably writing even more angsty poetry -but hey, he's quiet for now!

Boot, does no one else in your family find him a bother? Can't you give him something else to do? Have you pointed him in the direction of less angsty poets? Seriously, maybe you should try AK
And on bubble tea, I had the pleasure of my first cup. I will be taking some home to my father, but I doubt it will impress him as much.

How about, like...locking him in the dungeon? Or attic?

Oh, how awful, Terry. Can't you go to sleep whenever he goes to sleep? Wear ear-muffs! Or maybe you'll just have to wait him out. He won't stay with you forever, will he?
