I thought I'd bump this after reading the awesome thread on brothers.

I have a sister two years younger than me.

I'm adopted, but she's my parents' biological child.

We fought a lot as kids. She once bit me hard enough I got a bruise on my arm.

She liked N*SYNC, that kid from Home Improvement, and other crap while growing up.

After high school she moved to Spokane, went to community college, worked at Wal-Mart, got fired from Wal-Mart, dropped out of community college. Ended up moving back home and becoming a lab assitant.

She just quit that job and is trying to join the air force.

We don't really have anything in common.

She's totally not crap. The antithesis of crap.

My sister is awesome and a lot better at many things than I am.

I was an asshole to my sister when we lived under the same roof. We haven't spend any significant time together in the last twenty years or so, and only really see each other at family events. We are now spread all over the country, so when we do get together, all the old irritants rise to the surface, so she still has the same opinion of me she did when she was 17. Can't blame her, I guess.

You've said what I tried to state in my post above. Thank you sir.

My older sister is great. My only sibling, she's a smart U of C grad who fed me my first shrooms. Bossed me around a lot when we were growing up, never calls, but when we hang out we always just pick up right where we left off and have a nice, relaxed time. She's got a great kid and another one on the way, tests medical database software in Cincinnati for a living and likes to tease me, good naturedly, about what an annoying little brother I was when we were growing up. Salut, Ann! You keep me in line and are a good, hard-working mother!

Cool, I can be a bit more positive in this one.

My half sister (twin of brother spoken about in brother thread) is annoying for the reasons almost all 16 year olds are but she's generally NOT CRAP.

My full sister is cool. She's always been a bit of an hysteric and she puts on a tough act which is about as effective as Nerble Bear with a knife but she's a decent sort who's generous, sensitive (though she might not want you to know it) intelligent and a lot more talented than she'll admit to herself. She's always been into the good stuff music wise (or 'cutting edge' stuff anyways) and despite her kicking off whenever I nicked and copied her tapes she's probably a large part of why I like a lot of the music I like now.

I also know JC3 cause he used to go out with my sister when they were youths.

Not sure if thats a waffle to the NOT CRAP or contributory factor to it

Edited on request.

I've got 4 sisters, all older.

The oldest (19 years older than myself) is married to a farmer/feed mill owner. Her husband is a nice and hilarious guy and they've got two smart and incredibly musically-talented daughters. She gives me free beef from their massive freezer whenever I come to visit. NOT CRAP.

The next is a naturopathic doctor/accupuncterist in northern WI. She owns a wolf (mentioned in the wolf thread). She's really funny, whenever I'm home for holidays and my folks make everyone go to church I sit next to her and we try to make the other laugh out loud and get scolded by my mother. She's very very smart. She taught me how to tune a guitar and my first few chords. NOT CRAP.

2nd youngest sister is an opera singer and voice teacher. She married a great guy who's a big baseball and hockey fan; I should really get out fishing with him soon. They have a son and a daughter together. The son is gonna be a drummer (I have decided this). This sister is great because she's the one who'll tell me stuff about the family that I never knew. She's always kind to me, and I really should visit her more often since she's only an hour away. NOT CRAP.

The final sister is two years older than me. We fought constantly as kids, really despised each other at times. She would pick fights all the time, until the day I was big to pick her up and throw her on the couch.....she didn't mess with me after that, but we'd still argue all the time. Now we're all cool. She got married last year, and she does interior decorating. She's pretty happy and I'm happy for her. NOT CRAP.

From the stories I hear now that I'm older, my sisters raised a lot more hell in their younger days than I did. I'm such a fucking goody-two-shoes. Damn it.

I have two older sisters. They are the least crap things I can think of.
The older sister, Laura, is brilliant. She was valedictorian of high school and college, graduated with honors from medical school, went to Yale for pediatric residency. Then, she got vertigo (almost 9 years ago, still has it) so had to stop. Now she's a housewife, but perhaps the singularly greatest mother I've ever seen to four children 6 and under.

The younger of my sisters is three years older than I. She just had her first child. She was saludetorian in high school and went to college on a full academic scholarship. She's a middle school math teacher. She's quick, sarcastic, and giving in ways I can't compete with.

Both of my sisters are anti-crap. I am actually less crappy when I'm aronud them.
