I just had a Raspberry Krispy Kreme donut for the first time in like, 3 years or more. It was awesome. Woke up and had a craving for something sweet and glazed. Luckily, there was something to fit the bill.
So, last night, I had a conversation with my best friend, while she was driving 2 hours from Indiana to Eminence, Kentucky to pick up her ex boyfriend, who was suicidal and wanted to be commited to UL so he wouldn't harm himself. All this while riding with her current fiancee. This was a 2 hour conversation for the record books. I was mostly mocking her for getting married, having been the product of a broken marriage, and pretty being a poster child for the reasons not to marry. Mostly because I can't not be a dick, and she provides such an irresistable target for mockery. But who doesn't when it comes to me?!
I digress, this is mostly about how she used a word that bothered the shit out of me. In talking about her soon to be husband, she used the word "obedient." This bothered the holy jesus shit out of me. I chastised her for using such a word as that to describe her beloved. I don't think she meant it the way it sounded, I'm just crazy and that's what I heard. He's a sweet, loyal kid. Who would chop off his arms to please her. I just hate that the archetypal stance that women seem to take when it comes marriage. This will get me started on a rant that I don't want to. Just saying, fucking people are not fucking property. You aren't supposed to train the people that you love. That's taking advantage of them. So, quite being so damned stereotypical, and like the shit you see in a bad sitcom. There's more to relationships than that. /end rant.
Random old thoughts pop into my head. Some good, some bad. Mostly try to focus on the fact that I've come a long way. The way that I used to be is so different than how I feel now. It's kind of crazy. Suffice to say that I have nothing to worry about anymore. Except life. I had so many things going at once back then, I didn't even know when I would contradict myself. Bad times.
Well, thanks life for showing me the way. I'm glad that it's a different world for me. Experience has taught me much.
