Quiet evening

[cleolinda]

So on one hand, I'm turning thirty in a couple of weeks and I'm having another one of those days where all I really want is someone warm to curl up next to at night but instead I'm going to die alone and the only reason anyone's even going to notice I went missing is because they're going to wonder why my journal hasn't been updated in a week

I think she might also be mine now.

Oh, wow. See, I would really like a ring, but I would also like the guy to wear one. And I would like to keep my name on general principle, except that I have HUUUUUUUGE family issues and would like to get rid of it ASAP. I didn't take my stepfather's name because he didn't even enter the picture until I was 22, so that would have been kind of weird. Also, it would have caused more family strife than it would have been worth. So basically, the only acceptable ways to change my name would be to get married... and use a pseudonym for my writing. DUN DUN DUNNNNN.

Ugh the idea of the "Wedding" makes me ill. I am sure the Boyfrienditude's mother (who has now started dropping "why aren't you guys engaged yet?" hints/comments) will demand a big huge wedding, and that's too bad for her because I ain't never having one. I hate being the focus of a huge crowd. Hell, I got the nervous throwups just being a bridesmaid in my COUSIN'S wedding.

[cleolinda]

It just seems like such an insane amount of money to spend on one day that increasingly has nothing to do with two people pledging to spend their lives together and everything to do with making the bride feel like she's a movie star for a day.

[neveth]

Exactly! I mean, I'm not a huge romantic, but eloping or just some really small ceremony wherin you are not performing but genuinely expressing the depth of your affection for each other seems like the ideal dream ceremony.

[cleolinda]

Yeah... to me, the Vegas thing is like, "We are going off and having an adventure together, because it's about us."

Oh I'm so torn. I want to watch the Lost video, but then again I don't.

Also I wanted to elope. Desperately. But my husband's mother would've killed me. But omg. To this day, 7.5 years later, I still would have chosen elopement over a wedding. The day itself was more traumatic than joyful.

My Mother has volunteered to run interference duty for boyfriend's mother if we decide to get hitched/elope. His mother is a very conservative, very traditional thinker. She gets upset when she finds out he doesn't wear a tie to work, sort of person. I dread the "No, we are not having a fancy wedding" argument.

Yeah--I started watching it three or four episodes into the first season, but other than that, I was there from the beginning until shortly after Duchovny left, because even though I love Robert Patrick, I just really did not see the point of the show anymore.

I watched the movie and just...no. The first movie was good, this movie was missing so much of the original X-Files flair.

Kind of like the end of the series.
