I can tube feed a baby dove but I can't change a nappy...

It's true, hence my aversion to having kids right now.

I remember when I was... 5 or so? I was playing with some kids on a swing and one of them asked me if my parents were divorced. I was like "What's divorce mean?" I was naive, or I guess you could say lucky. My mum has been divorced, but not from my father. Though at times I have wished that they would divorce, but heck, doesn't every kid?

The ad for this weeks "The Secret Life Of Us" is weird. Am I living under a rock or in another world or something? The show says "The first couple of months are fun, then you become boyfriend and girlfriend." Uhhh, I figured after a few dates and kissing you became boyfriend and girlfriend. Not after you've been screwing for a few months. Geesh, I'd have to have been with someone a few months before I decided if I loved them enough to have sex with them. I don't even kiss random people. I only kiss (and you know the kissing I mean) with people I know I love. Geesh... "love" is so cheap these days. *sighs*

Can't you tell I'm tired? 2 more days till wisdoms are out...
Is anaesthetic sleep refreshing?
Will I lose weight on my soup and yoghurt diet?
Will these headaches go away?
Will be feeling alive enough for BBQ on Sunday and possibly bowling on Monday?

It will all be an interesting albeit somewhat painful adventure.

I relate to the bit about divorce. . . When I was a kid, I figured everyone's family was like mine. My parents have been married for 30 years or something; neither of them has ever been divorced. I was shocked when I even suspected that a friend of mine's parents might be divorced (because she called her dad Steve). Then we got to be friends again my senior year of HS, and I found out way more shocking things about her that didn't shock me at all--kids are funny! These days I know practically no one who has as few problems as mine, although to be honest, I'd die if I was in such an emotionless relationship. No positive, no negative. They go out of their way for each other, but there is nothing there. They never fight and they never kiss. Goes to show that what you'd think is perfect really isn't. . .

Wisdoms n stuff

Anaesthetic sleep is not refreshing. I was under for hours when they screwed my elbow back together and I was very ill when I woke up. Bad reaction to general.

As for the relationships thing, it depends on the emotional comittment. I've seen all kinds of strange relationships, and I have been in a couple. As long as the people involved can get their own heads around it, its alright with me!

I don't think I've seen it put better myself. I've been in the most unconventional relationships with others & people often comment/joke/question it. But it's so nice to see someone who is not like that.

And the fact is humans are generally not a monogomous species, we should just stop kidding ourselves about that- though I'll admit it would be nice :)

I don't think I ever wished my parents would divorce ^^; Once when I was younger they jokingly suggested they should because then we'd get more money from the government or something, and I wouldn't shut up until they promised they'd never do it for that reason ;P

I don't think parents show as much affection publicly towards each other anymore, but I know my parents are still in love and yeah... I guess I feel pretty lucky for that :)

*nods* I haven't seen the ad, but that seems weird to me too o.O

I can see people's points about accepting "unconventional relationships" although I find the idea distasteful myself, but yes, I agree that the biggest thing is that both people in the relatioship or whatever agree to and are happy with what they're doing. As long as they're not hurting anyone else and are happy with it, then yay I guess... but me, I'm with you on the "love" thing Beej :) I couldn't feel fulfilled in a relationship unless it felt like it's roots were embedded inside my heart, to use a vaguely disturbing and strange analogy ;)
