The Magic Number

I really couldn’t tell you why some people spend their entire lives waiting for that special RIGHT ONE to come along, only to die alone, while others effectively make a habit of jumping in and out of relationships, never truly settling down. I couldn’t tell you what it is about me that seems to attract stalkers, the needy, the ( Read more... )

It looks like it's been a long journey for you, but I'm glad you're happy with where you are now.

Thanks for having the patience to get through the journey of reading this long entry. This week was a doozy for me, and I've been trying to avoid this post for several weeks, but eventually it was just going to have to come out, and it looks like this was the week that it insisted upon being seen.

Wow! What a life. :)

Ahe... yeah, not sure if I would really call these my life, just a part of it. But thanks for muddling through it.

I think there is a lot of miss counting here... there has to of been at least more the one proposal as you stood out there in your bodice yelling obscenities at men and challenging their masculinity.

Oh, holy hell... if I started counting every yay-hoo that thought he'd be funny with a lame joke he imagines is original, well, I'm just not sure the both of would have enough digits between us.

hightekvagabond March 13 2010, 04:29:24 UTC

I've got enough digits to count to 21, what about you?

I suppose I do too, if we're comparing, though, mine is not quite as external as yours... though you're welcome to help me bring it into play any time.

I've only been asked to marry somebody once, and I didn't for a lot of the reasons you've stated here. Marrying somebody isn't supposed to be about what you ought to do, or what you're giving up, or compromising who you are, or what one person needs.

You're certainly right about that... I'm just not sure why I keep ended up with surrounded by people who don't get it.

Yeah, I get that... I mean, I'd be inclined to say to someone who'd say I'd be a good wife, fucking "Duh!" Of course I'll make a good wife... doesn't mean I'm going to be yours! I think when I was younger, I was just way too nice. These days I think I might put out too much of the "don't even think about it" vibe. But, it's okay... I really don't need any more marriage proposals for a while. My happiness in life is really not dependent upon whether or not I have a legal certificate that entitles someone else to say we're half of one another... paper doesn't mean greater love.... just more complications. If it was legal for me to marry everyone I would choose to, then I might consider it, but, as long as we don't live in that world, then I really don't see the point.
