it’s scary that so many people from my high school in particular are married or getting married. perhaps it’s because i grew up in relatively small-town, conservative suburbia that that is the case.
it’s not necessarily a bad thing, i guess, for some people, but it’s not something i would even close to want to do at this point.
as far yas i’m concerned, getting married really is the beginning to the end of your life, particularly if you want kids. some people get married at 18 and are cool with that. i’m not. how can you even be sure at the age of 18? or what about your dreams hah…
maybe with a husband you can still do what you want, but if/when you have kids what you want to do is kind of curtailed. and that’s too bad. what you want to do should take a backseat to your kids. i like kids and all, but i don’t think i would want to live my entire life for them when i am so young.
maybe i just haven’t met the right person yet, and that’s why i don’t want to get married for a long time. who knows. but it seems so very far off.
interestingly enough, though, although i know a lot of ex-friends now-acquaintances who are getting married or have gotten married, none of my friends have. like, at all. weird.
probably the only things that i do know i want out of marriage are:
1) marriage in a castle, renaissance style [may not happen].
2) a lack of a fat rock… i just don’t see the point of getting a diamond ring. there are tons of other rocks which are less expensive and look a lot better if you absolutely need a rock. plain silver, hematite, and black glass rings for the win [although i’ve destroyed tons of them in my sleep when accidentally punching the wall].
my mom wants me to get married in a church because she is a christian. i am not. or religious to any degree, for that matter. she claims she doesn’t care about anything regarding marriage asides from the fact that i get married in a church. i wonder what the significance of that is. so that it looks good that i get married in a church? so that it make her feel better about my not being a christian? i’m not realy sure, but it seems pretty pointless to me.
when would you guys want to get married?

i spent the entire day working on redefine. was definitely starting to go delirious by the end of the day.
saturday, june 23th, 2007:
went to the NEWLY REMODELED SEATTLE AQUARIUM!!!!! during the morning. it sucked ass. they spent $40 million on a window that is a “window into the sound” or something, and it is worse than the room that has glass surrounding you from all sides. it is completely, absolutely pointless and a waste of money. i can’t believe they advertised that as a new addition. to make it worse, the top of the glass slopes outwards so that the thing is essentially a giant mirror. to make it even worse!!! they put fake plastic seaweed in it. it was 100% fake. good game, seattle aquarium.
and there was this section which i never really noticed, but that section of the aquarium was dedicated to northwest coral reefs. it had a bunch of monitors up saying ‘coral reefs: a fragile environment’ or something like that, yet!!! they had lifted a bunch of portions of the coral straight out of the ocean. who knows how harmful that was. wait, i know. probably very harmful. dammit, humanity.
there was this super cool mini red octopus in a tank, though. it was a full-sized red octopus that is about the size of your hand grown. soooo freaking cute. there was also a sponge hermit crab or something, which, instead of using shells to cover itself, used pieces of sponge. looked totally awesome.
after the aquarium, went to go talk to jeremy [gregory] at the corridor art gallery where he had a show up dedicated to freakshow people. he had this book called american sideshow or something, and it had the weirdest, most screwed up people in it, with some pretty sad stories about their lives. i will have to pick myself up a copy of that book from the elliott bay bookstore.
at night, alex, lenny, and i went to taqueria del reconstrito (or whatever) to eat mexican foods. been eating a lot o mexican food lately. it’s all goot man. it’s all goot. cynthia is moving to hood river, oregon come first week of july. she got a job there. luckily she is going to come to montana with us, so we can have one last quest hoohah. i guess she is going to be working for some company that makes unmanned air vehicles or something. not sure… um, war, yay. not really. >_<
