what a morning and its not even 9 am.
i think its great that people fall in love and get married
but i'm really tired of hearing about it. all the details about
cakes and dresses its absolutely insane! i know that i sound like
a bitch but i can't help it. i don't need to spend thousands of dollars
on a dress to show how committed i am. the whole basis of marriage
was for men to hold on to land and possessions easier! i know things are
different but the underlying traditional roles and symbolism are still very much intact and i want no part of it.
i'm being supportive and listening too my newly engaged friend go on and on about this institution she is about to enter but inside i feel very uneasy.
i'm still not convinced that most couples can make that commitment for life. for LIFE, that's what you say when you get married, and some people even say in front of their god! that's a whole other thing religion and marriage. i've officially broken my mother heart by telling her there is no way in hell i'm getting married in the catholic church, if by chance i do get married....
if i do, i want a huge chocolate cake and a calypso band.

OK, i could on about this or maybe i'll just insert one of my women's studies essay's on marriage...lol
better get to work..
