New verse:

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Well, most of us don't have the pope on our case...
Ugh... bridezilla... still have to find a way to convince my friend I can't come to her wedding...
I had a landmark last year and tried to ignore the ol' b-day this year. I'm trying to make the best of it by making new goals. But i can't decide if I want a second adolescence or to work on being a bad***. It's a dilemma.
That's just 'cuz we're not famous.
I like and respect the pope but this thread is bringing up my old Theses-nailing sentiments.
If it's at New Years, can't you be back by then?
Aaah, that thread. I left that one alone. With all the troubles in the world, ya'd think Harry Potter would be lower on the priority list. But that's just my opinion.
RE Miss Emily, thank God for small favors. Hopefully she won't become a problem for Texas, or anywhere else on the Gulf Coast. I'm just hoping our goalie is on top of his game.
It's December 30th. Which would give me.... eight days, more or less, with my family. Or I can have almost three weeks. Also it's on the other side of the state and I don't do winter mountain driving.
I like that song, Hair.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAMIUS!
I just want a family. And therefore worry a bit. I'm thinking the average nice Catholic guy who'd rather like to have a decent sized family (i.e. the kind of person I'd be interested in) is looking for younger gals, no matter what his age may be.
At this point, it's not even that I'm thinking "I want a big family", though that'd be nice. I'd be happy with whatever. But I've always wanted kids.
I've never had major career ambitions like a lot of the girls I've known - even girls who otherwise I have a lot in common with. Not that I haven't liked my jobs, but...it's never been that important to me. And since as I get older, it seems that may be all I'll ever have...well, it's difficult to accept.
And now that it's looking like if I stay here I'll have to branch out, I'm really struggling. I like doing something basic. I like learning on my own terms, but I don't really have any desire to train for a completely different field or anything along those lines.
Wu'oh. Wedding planner just crashed the wedding thread.
This game may be over. But I think we'll see the playoffs this season...
I'm looking at menopause looming. Not yet, but it's in my future. I saw a blurb on the news about hormone replacement this morning. They conclude that it just puts off the inevitable. I'm not leaning that direction.
Get this...one of the alternative treatments for hot flashes they discussed was...no joke...a FAN.
I haven't really been following...but the idea of having a set list of guests and basically taking attendence is just *weird*. I've only been to a few weddings, but I just can't imagine that.
I am hoping strongly though that Miami will not be selected as the site for the playoffs.
Kinda makes you miss the baseball strike doesn't it?
I can't imagine having a wedding where I didn't know everyone I'd invited... but then, I hope when I get married I'll have a very small wedding, as I've said before.
Hmmm.... well, is it avoidable without killing the friendship? Sounds rough. Will you be a guest or a bridesmaid? I'd assume if you are dress shopping with her, she doesn't have a closer friend.
These things shouldn't be duties, but sometimes they become that way.... It's like I told Lisa when she didn't want to be a bridesmaid for Sonya, but she wanted to go. I said, "there are two places you have to be in the life of a friendship, the wedding and the funeral, and the friend won't be able to even visit with you much at either one". Still, you have to go if you live near. Your situation is different in that you do live near, if only during the school year, but really, you'll have to travel to this one. You met this gal just this year at school, right? I guess I'd say if she makes a stink, she's level jumping the friendship.
If this is a casual friend and the wedding is actually forcing a choice, it sounds like the friendship is at a point where it will be decided whether you are short or long term friends.... Hopefully, you can decline without hurting her feelings.
I don't care for the common assumption that casual equates to boorish. And I don't think being an ettiquite-nazi is the epitome of class. This hasn't been stated in so many words on the wedding thread, but they're coming close.
Where's that HP thread you were talking about earlier?
(Why did you have to defend Harry?)
