Can do..

My parents are incredibly different, and if they didn't live by the same last name and send each other cards for their anniversary you wouldn't believe they were married. Not that they argue; they're kind of like yin and yang. I can get along with them, but as they are so different so are the ways I deal with them.

My mother I would describe as a constant tempest. She's a stubborn, persistant and driven woman. She moves with an ethereal scary force that never seems to burn out. She also treats most people like they aren't listening to her, because mostly that's what she has to put up with. It frustrates me and mostly that's why we argue. That and I'm pretty damn stubborn myself and neither of us will back down in an argument.

My father... he's very enigmatic. He's quiet, generous and slow to anger, but when he does it's a fearful sight. If I could describe my mother as impulsive he would be the opposite of that. He's also very distant. I'd say that's why I have quite an equal relationship with both of them; I may argue more with my mother but that doesn't mean I get on better with my father.

They're both good people and I would defend them to the hilt but I wouldn't say we're close.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
