I'm exceedingly lucky to have a younger sibling who's also a great friend. It's not like we never fight or anything, but we've bonded over the years much better than I thought otherwise possible — especially back when I was in my early teens when I thought he'd be a pest forever.

Every few days or so, we reach the same conclusion about the same thing at the same time. And sometimes we even throw the same ideas around in our head for ages before they come out, such as when I told him that the Metroid Prime theme would probably mix with the Lot R Rohan theme very well. His response? Already considered it. Fuck yeah, that's my little brother.

And you know when sometimes the first note of a song comes on over the radio or on a TV show, and you think it's a different song that you like better? And someone else goes "Yeah, I thought it was X, too". Every time.

He's highly socially popular in school, does well in his work and is one of the most advanced musicians there, despite being a year 9 student.

I'm proud of him. It's good seeing him succeed at this early stage, especially since I've probably been the biggest influence on his life, being the most prominent example of a crossover authority/friend figure. Like a good job well done, but over the span of years and with something as fragile as a human life.

Nice, I am glad that not only do you get along well with your brother, but you also recognize that. I feel like a lot of people have problems getting along with family members or do not think about how much their family has helped them out. Then you have the only children who do not even have that opportunity. Either way, I would say you are quite lucky to have a younger brother like that.

Having an awesome sibling rules. My older brother is a phenomenally talented artist, musician, mathematician, physicist and philosophical thinker, has a great sense of humour, is sociable and likeable and is generally an inspiring human being. He also taught me a lot of important stuff and introduced me to almost all of my favourite creative works.

My little sister is an endless font of lulz and inside jokes:

"Whhhhy a chicken suuuuit can I play?"
"DRIVING!"
"That looks like a 'dropped the camera' picture."
"Did he get hit in the head? Oh yeah. Real hard."
"HOW-DOES-SHE-DO-THAAAAAT?"
"No, YOU'RE lousy!"

I promise you, all of those are hilarious if you were there.

Freezair For A Limited Time,

"Whhhhy a chicken suuuuit can I play?"
This still seemed humorous to me even without context. I imagine that inside jokes can be pretty funny especially if one starts alluding to them around people who have no idea what you are talking about (as long as you do not embarrass those people or make them feel uncomfortable).

Also, to respond to the original post again, I think it is interesting that you think you have been the biggest influence on your brother and think he is pretty awesome.

My younger brothers are pretty fun. The fights we had were pretty minor.

It's nice to have people that think you're awesome, too.
