2012 is apparently my Stupidly Introspective Year

[fools_game]

So I’ve been thinking recently about things I’m supposed to do and how sometimes I don’t want to do any of them.

My virginity thrusts in your general direction. [/just cos]

My brother's having his engagement party this Saturday. The hyperventilating and ALL THE EMOTIONS this brings out is pretty epic. But then they will have children and I can be that auntie you mention above :) I shall corrupt them with alcohol (if they haven't already been by my brother...) and give them LOUD TOYS!!

I don't plan to have kids of my own. Maybe one day I'll foster some kids... But mostly I'll prefer the other species. Possibly have a partner. *shrugs* I've managed to meet a couple people from the internet dating site I'm on.

But the fact that you only ignore your friends for weeks (and not months/years) means you're up one on me and my socialising skills.

(let us be spinsters together and ensure our nieces and nephews can actually write goode 'n' stuff)

My virginity thrusts in your general direction. ---Dirty.

God, I assume at some point, SOMEBODY in my family will procreate, but my brother and his wife have been married for seven years and no sign of spawn yet. It won't be me, that's all I know. I could foster kids, though, that's something I've thought about. Especially older kids.

My future SiL told my brother that once they're married they're having kids straight away. So, he shouldn't ask her to marry until he's ready for kids. SO! I am assuming I'll be an aunt within a couple years :)
Plus, two of my cousins have popped out kids and a third has his first on the way.

But there's at least one devout spinster in the family - just like you, she loves kids, but has no intentions of having her own. .. And has never had a serious boyfriend (one that she's brought to meet the extended family).

Foster is the way to go. Apparently you can't adopt any kid over, l like, 1 year old anyway O.o so fostering is really the way to go. AND if they live under your roof, you can tell them to obey your rules - and those rules include a necessity to READ!

Ugh, my sibs are all so pair-offy. Except my middle brother, who is currently trying to gently disentangle himself from his toxic, needy girlfriend. He recently told me he has no intention of ever getting married, I think he's considering running away to Antarctica to avoid the whole issue.

You have more or less just described me and my life in a nutshell. Down to the "I should want it, why don't I want it?" stuff. I decided a few years ago that I like being single just fine, thanks and I am going to be Awesome Auntie Al and that's FINE :)

I'm not gonna lie, hanging out with you and Sel and Ren went a long way towards making me more comfortable with the idea. :)

Spinsterhood is clearly the greatest.
