Back in "the day" MR was supposed to be an outlet for sets to be purchased that wouldn't normally. Sets that were crazier, more creative, a little more lo fi. These days the sets that hit the front page from MR look just like all the other sets that hit the front page.
So here, for your viewing pleasure, are some of my favorite MR... Read More
Duude. It's an attack of the 2004s in my journal comments. Kittie and rabiddedbare, you obvz do not belong, because 2004 was obviously the superior year.
If you want to stir up some shit with a school shooting, you might want to pick somewhere other than the NVCC Woodbridge campus to do it. And, you know, maybe actually hurt some people. Come on now, epic fail.
Why the fuck a duck is everyone I know getting married and starting to pump out babies? Or, you know, the other way around.
Part of me feels like I'm behind, not even being in a relationship, at least not being in something with the official "relationship" label and commitment that comes along with it. Or, you know, knocked up by some random guy who... Read More
Is this about anyone in particular, or a bunch of people you know lately?
I know two couples that are engaged right now. For Tristan and Sara, I think it's perfect... they are just a really adorable couple, and they have been in a LDR between America and Canada for awhile... they just seem to be really good at compromising and I think it's right for them to marry this young, even though they have never lived together before. They are about our age.
The other is Helen and Patrick. They've been together for a long time, like 3 years or so, and they are poly. Helen is even younger than us (22 or 23, whereas Patrick is in his early 30's. I think they mainly got engaged because he wanted to settle down with someone and he wanted it to be her... I don't think she's ready for marriage, even though she is very mature and independent for her age, and has had a lot of opportunity to sow wild oats. Even though they have been living together, and I wish the best for them, I don't have quite as much faith that that one will last for as long.
Of course, neither couple is the sort to start popping kids this young, as far as I can tell.
But what can you do? We all just have to let friends and family make their own decisions, even if they seem like mistakes. Some people need to learn the hard way, even though it's hard to watch.
Apparently when I attempt to write an entry not only while feeling ill, but after strange and fitful sleep, I lose my ability to form coherent thoughts. I came back to read what I had written earlier and sat here thinking "huhwha? Those words are not the ones I thought I had written." Oh well.
A cough and low grade fever have evolved in to... Read More
