ugggghhhhh people & their marriage shit... i hate when people react weird when i say 'partner' & insist on 'husband'. i hate when shawn's friends (who are my friends too!) call me his 'wife' instead of by my name. i hate having to explain to people that we got married just so we could be together and that i'm anti-marriage... i hate when people ask why i don't wear a ring... etc... etc...

i am jealous about the hair experiment! mine is so thin & short (obviously) that it is really ridiculous looking when i wake up and needs to be washed so i don't have greasy crazy bedhead. it gets so oily just within the course of a day that, when i have long days (like today-shower at 7am, work until 9:30pm) it's really greasy by the end of my shift! luckily i don't have to spend much on shampoo though & no conditioner. then again i spend a lot on haircuts. oh well..

I cheated today. Couldn't take the grease. I washed my hair/scalp with some bentonite clay soap.

Ha! Sounds like you're kinda being treated like a "possession" as opposed to a "partner." Go figure. It's not like marriage has anything to do with women as property and the ensuring of legitimacy. Perish the thought.

Also:

Rings are stupid. Getting gooey over diamonds is stupider.

yeah, i have had extremely long and heated conversations about it... at this point i just kind of roll my eyes and brush it off because it happens SO much that i am really sick of educating/explaining/lecturing/arguing about it. sigh.

Heh. I can't even pretend to be happy for married people. No congratulations from me. Babies, yes. Marriage, no.

I used to be super anti-marriage, but I'm okay with marriage now. Totally get why one wouldn't be, though. What I'm really annoyed with is all the kerfuffle over weddings. Weddings are RETARDED. Ugh, too much for me to even BEGIN! Also, being basically a single person and having these kinds of opinions means you're just, ya know, like, jealous and or bitter or don't know what you're talking about. Awesome, I tell ya. Just start talking about divorce around married-folk -- even as a totally normal, totally okay fact of life and things do go on kind of way -- and you will ruin married-wedding-super-into-that-stuff-people's day.

Also, I am pretty certain you have posted pictures on your lj before with ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE hair. So I'm going to have to call full-of-crap on that one, 'cause we've all seen it done! Seriously though, I'm impressed 'cause not washing my hair is something I could never do.

Technically, I'm pretty married. There's been no weddings or signing of contracts, but I'm in a settled & committed relationship & we live together. What I'm doing now isn't any different than being officially married, so this is why I'm pretty irritated by the questioning of why I'm not married. Other people can get married if they want, I'm ok with that, they just shouldn't expect me to care. Heh. Does that make sense? But I totally agree with you about weddings! This is what makes marriage WORSE to me.

Ha! The pictures of my hair have always been post-haircut. My hair always looks good post haircut because the hairdresser has always blow-dried it straight for me. I can't style my hair myself worth a damn. Unless you call ponytails & braids "styling."
