AMC--Chapter Twenty-Six
I am rating this chapter for adults only for reasons of discussing topics about sexuality. There is no graphic sex--it is merely Macalaurë musing about love and marriage and children and his thoughts on all of these things--but I want to play it safe. If you're not sure if you want to read this chapter, please don't hesitate to contact me, as

You're so right in that. Some time ago I had a discussion with my sister who's 18-year-old friend just had a child and I was like "Well, they're in there pretty quickly, and then the woman has the troubles" (I think I might have been subconciously thinking about your story and Feanor's remark about Maitimo's birth, hehe). And I actually don't think you're weird at all when you say that it still might be easier to be male. I'm not quite sure if I want children one day (people who know me would certainly tell you that I'm not the maternal type, hehe) and so I might as well spare myself the troubles of being female (by the way, I'd read that stupidfic... *laughs*).
Rambling? You are talking to the Queen of Ramble, who even invented a word for herself--"rambly"--and promptly found others using it!
Rambly? I like that, hehe.
I mean, it amused me, but I have a decidedly strange and pervy sense of humor.
Oh, don't fear, me too. I even laugh at jokes that others simply consider bad taste. *hides*

I'm very maternal/overprotective of my friends, but as far as small children go, I generally run and hide behind furniture! I babysat a friends 18-month-old once...erm, not again.
And tempt me not into writing evol stories! *resists plotbunny* I've far too many WiPs already! :^D

Hey, you took *my* hiding place! I laugh at those jokes too! :^D

I can so relate to that! I think it gets even worse when they start to talk since I'm totally untalented at that small-children-nonsense-talk-stuff. Then I tend to simply sit there with a "get me out of here"-expression on my face. ;-)

Perhaps we should share. We can hide our musical "careers" there, too. But I still think you must have been much better than me. My family has a scary lack of talent when it comes to music...

That sounds *just* like me! :^D I can (and do) talk to most any adult, but kids render me speechless....

Oh, I don't know.... My sister, hubby-to-be, and I had an embarrassing musical ensemble in high school called "Gravel Factory." Here's a hint of how good we were: I'd had my guitar for three whole days, and we put on a New Year concert for my family that involved Dave Matthew's Band's "Ants Marching" rendered to two chords. Oh, and an original song called "No Time" that had lyrics that went: "Driving down / the highway /all alone / with no phone" and more of that rot.
Okay, clicking POST before I decide to delete *that* confession! :^D
*scrunches further into hiding place*

Oh, it's not too bad. The only thing I could ever play on my flute were Christmas songs. I used to perform on our local elementary school's Christmas celebrations and at home on Christmas Eve. During my really obsessive time I practiced Christmas songs even in spring. I guess my family harboured secret desires to throttle me at that time, hehe. And when I think of it I spent 2 years in my grammar school's choir. It didn't help. People tell me I have an awful singing voice. :-P
