Just The Way You Are.
NEW ZEALAND HAS LEGALIZED SAME-SEX MARRIAGE!! Go, New Zealand! You’ll always be my favorite. They now join the ranks of the Netherlands (all the way back in 2001), Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and Sweden.

My thoughts exactly! South Africa is the big one that threw me for a loop on that list. I mean, to be honest, when I heard that New Zealand had legalized same-sex marriage, my reaction was, "Huh. They didn't have that already?" because they seem like a pretty progressive country and I could have sworn they already had it over there. I'm really thrilled that we have added another country to the list but it does make me go 'ugh' because here we are with all our power and influence and modern way of life, and our politicians keep wasting a lot of money trying to stop people who love each other from getting married.
I love your Rob Lowe story! (I bet it was him.)
Rob is not someone that I normally am like, "Omg!!!" over, but he was so fucking cute on Craig the other night and their talk was very interesting. (I bet it was him too! If not Rob, then one of those other Brat Pack kids, probably Charlie Sheen!)
You better be here at age 54! I will be 68 about to turn 69 and I bet I will still be writing and needing wacky ideas!
Awwwww. I think I will. I mean, had I kept going the way I was with the pills, I probably wouldn't be here right now at all, but it's weird - when I was a kid my parents didn't think I would be alive by 35 (I was too young then to realize they are naysayers about everything) and here I am like a month away from my 35th. I mean, you never know with my body, but in general, 54 does not seem as much of a pipe dream as it once did. And even when I'm in a nursing home someday, I'll be the only resident there writing porn, I can say that much! I promise to keep throwing you wacky ideas, babe!

Ooh, yeah. Charlie Sheen IS a good bet for that kind of thing. You know, when I catch Ferris Bueller's Day Off, I'm AMAZED at how pretty Sheen used to be. Prettier by far than either his dad or brother!
I didn't think I'd make it past 35 either, but not because I had people telling me so or because of health issues. It was because I grew up having nuclear bomb drills in elementary school, and seeing Cold War tensions every day until the Wall came down. (At least, that was how it felt.)

That's insane. I can't imagine being a kid and living with that kind of terror.

Which is a sad statement about the adaptability of the human mind, I guess?

I get that, yeah. My sister was telling me about this guy she knew once, whose wife was from Afghanistan and they went to visit some family there. At some café or something, she takes his arm and pulls him behind some column and he asks her why she did that and she says, "There is an unattended baby buggy over there," and he goes, "So?" and she went, "Oh, it probably has a bomb in it." Completely casual like, no big deal, because she grew up where that was the norm. It does boggle your mind what people find themselves adapting too, indeed.
