I had no idea what to do with myself on my day off. It was ridiculous. I'm very glad to be going to work later today ( Read more... )

I'm the marrying type, not at this age though. When I broke off the "engagement", Natalie got totally pissed. As though being engaged meant you loved someone more. Fuck titles.

Course, Sherri today told me;

"You need to act like a 20 year old. Not some 35 year old man who is married, has three kids, and five dogs."

"Wow, five? I wonder what their names are? I wonder if that matters?"

Western society's inveterate scrutiny of womanhood, and indeed preoccupation with gender as a whole, can provoke much stigma for a female of any inclination. Profess domestic desires or a maternal instinct, and you're dismissed as a comatose and subservient Susie-homemaker. Adhere diligently to more professional ambitions, and you're a cold, emasculating social-clim(b)er, incapable of deep intimacy or affection.

...And then there is also the expectation to do everything - to be the perfect wife and mother and have the perfect garden and sex life while working 40 hours plus overtime in some respectable place.

I should have said 'former.' Though you probably did not suspect much of an indiscriminate boy-toy voracity in me.

i think the way my parents' relationship functions, societies' views on women, and my grandmother's constant talk about marriage made me declaired that i don't want to get married. but in all honestly, i'm ready to get married though i won't for awhile because if i did, my college career is going to be ruined. plus, at this age, people still grow and change. i guess my point is the your environment exerts great influence on your views on marriage (or anything for that matter).

and i do agree with someone who also commented: fuck titles.

Since I've known you, Ly, one of your most striking features is adaptability. No doubt, you'd be a charming and devoted wife, though matrimony doesn't seem to monopolize your possibilities for happiness ( ... )
