Your Family As Bands During The Holidays
FanPop

Ahh, the holidays. Tons of food, cozy homes, and your dysfunctional family. Let's face it, we all have that one family member that is just out there or maybe your entire family is like that. And sometimes it's a struggle to deal with them, so let's think of them in a new light: as bands. Yep, I said it. Let's compare these wonderfully weird family members to bands. Here we have five musical doppelgangers for those standard issue family members that we all have.

1. The Weird Uncle - Sigur Ros


The weird uncle. You know the one who always speaks nonsense and can stop a conversation mid-sentence with something he thinks is witty, but highly irrelevant. You usually give him a weak laugh, or the "you tried" pat on the back. Sigur Ros is the perfect fit for our uncle. We love how beautiful they sound, but honestly have no clue what they are talking about.


2. Fun Loving Cousin - Real Friends

We all have that one cousin that we adore. In fact, he hated his hometown just as much as you do and he got out. He's traveled and seen more of the world than you. And much like you, he puts on a happy face even though he is dying inside during his visit home. With their happy sounding music and often times insight fully sad lyrics, Real Friends becomes that cousin.

3. Overly Political Father - Stray From The Path

With elections happening right before the holidays, politics are often a big topic amongst families and old dad is the biggest fan of political talk. He is loud and abrasive and doesn't care about your beliefs. Nope, you know nothing about politics when dad is involved. To mix things up, he's probably thrown back a few shots of whiskey to fuel his fire and to ensure those red veins pop from his forehead. Stray From The Path fits with dad like turkey and stuffing with their pissed off angry sound and politically fueled lyrics.

4. Cool Aunt - Halsey


She's your mom's younger sister. She's hip, she's happening, and she's the person you call when you're drunk and need a ride home. She's your cool aunt and she's definitely the black sheep in the family. When you wanted to dye your hair blue, she showed up at your doorstep with the supplies and helped you through it. But she had blue hair before it was cool. Just like when everyone was really into Dubstep, she liked it first. Not all of her ideas are the best, but over 90% are so you listen to her advice and knowledge. Being on the up and up puts your aunts match as Halsey. Coming onto the scene with catchy music and different look, she matches your aunt perfectly.

5. Edgy Younger Sister - Attila

Everyone goes through phases. And if you're a 12 year old girl, you've already encountered about one hundred different ones. Your younger sister has now hit her edgy phase, where she has traded out her regular bright clothes for a darker pallet. She now sulks through the house with eyeliner dripping down her cheeks and enough hair spray for two million old ladies. She's got a brand new foul mouth and attitude to match. All of this is a little bit of a front because she secretly still indulges in my little pony and kept her favorite Barbie when she threw all of her toys away. With a front like that, Attila is her match. With their so-called bad attitude and party music, they really just care about what everyone else thinks about them and will crack very easily.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
