Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday.
So I went shopping today at Washington Square to buy a dress for my sister's wedding, right.
Somehow while eating my saffron rice, and my sister eating her terriyaki, we began to discuss the wedding, inevitably.
I decided awhile ago that I'm not going to get married, becuase it's dumb and so much money for one silly day and basically just completely too religious and governmentally centered. Really, what's the difference between saying "I promise to love you forever" in front of that one person versus saying it in front of some offical person? With the latter you get tax benefits and the big dude in the office upstairs says "good for you!" I bet the tax benefits are great and all, but really why should some people be allowed to have them and some not? It's bullshit! My sister's response was this (she's pretty conservative, she voted for Bush...): If the government allows just everyone to marry everyone, what's stopping people from marrying their dogs? If they love them, why not?
I pointed out that she compared gay people to dogs, in a mildly joking way. She got pretty frustrated becuase she didn't mean it that way. Regardless, we both agreed that the government has gotten way too involved in telling people what they can and can't do, and that not letting some people get married is just honkey tonk bullshit.
Besides all that, weddings are just way too much work. Even for the people not getting married, like for their little sisters.
Therefore, I won't be getting married, so don't expect any invatations from me. Ever.
Besides all that mumbo jumbo, life is 'aight. School is hard and I'm not doing as well as I would like, but I'm doing 'aight. My mother is bat-shit crazy like always, but the other family is grand. I have great friends and an amazing boy. I like him a lot. A lot a lot. But I am the worst ever at communication so I fuck up a lot and get frustrated. I'm kind of a complicated person, I think. Difficult at times. I'm working on it.
All in all, today is loads better than it was 6 months ago. That's a good thing.
