indifferent summary of my vacation (no great realizations or beautiful words here)
so how about i spent the last 10 days in north carolina. the first 6 were spent on top of a mountain taking in the simplier joys of life. we went gem mining, so i had a promise ring custom made for dave. also tammy took me see horses and then on the tour of the local antique shops. one has an viewing casket from the 1800 with the skeleton from a funeral director guy. the same shop also has a full suit of armor, samari opium cantainers carved from bone and ivory, and a prayer pamphlet from over 5 or 6 hundred years ago. the last 4 days were spent down the beaches where the marine boys like to play to see my brother. i gave him a pocket watch that i had the marine symbol engraved on the front and "with much love from your twin sister" engraved on the back. i got a new tattoo that resulted in two strange tattoo artists and marine seeing me topless. i also wasn't in the ocean more than 10 minutes before i got stung by a jelly fish. overall i got lovely pictures of the dogs playing, beaches and birds, and a large navy ship.
also while i was down in NC i met my baby brother's fiance or how ever you spell it. shes quiet with strangers... i asked her why she wanted to marry my brother (shes just turning 18 now mind you). all she could say was he made her happy and she could never see them getting a divorce... what happens when he doesnt make her happy...not a good answer. my brother ranted for days on how much he loved her and how she was his best friend... i think the part that spells diaster is he can't even tell her that he drinks and smokes. shes off in some dillusion she made him quit just for her. worse yet is that girl hasn't even hit her wild streak yet and i think she will break my brother's heart. this is the first real time he has been in love and i can see it coming like a train wreck. i hope to god this girl proves me wrong but i just think they are way too young.
my fathers used to go on and on about a 5 year test of time before getting married and how you should make a list of qualities you want in someone so you don't sell yourself short. well i rewrote my list and here it is:
1. friends above all else
-mutual trust and respect
-deep thinker and open minded
-strong (emotionally)
-smart (not nessicarily books)
-interested and involved in my life
-takes care of himself and me
-retains individuality and sense of self
-sensitive yet masculine
-comfort
-supports me in my endevors and vise versa
-not afraid to chase dreams even if they aren't mine
-can grow old together and survive a test of time
-loyality and devotion
-equality in relationship
-the passion never dies
i think these qualities in a man and my relationships make for a good solid ground that can survive anything. perhaps even an ideal marriage for myself... but i am not the marrying type. imgonna o ahead and continue to avoid that subject like the plague.
so uh.. thats it for now...
go away.
