Stuff relating to this: It's possible to drag her...but I think it would also be difficult. It's on a Friday night...i.e. drinking night. But if you want to attempt it...
"My pop psychology opinion - all of our generation has lived through the pain of divorce, either directly or through friends. We feel that marriage is something that is supposed to last forever, and know that nowadays the odds are against this. So why swear to be together forever when there's good reason to suspect you won't be?" -JessicaWell, the fashion show went well...I didn't trip or screw up, it was fun (albeit taking up a lot of time to do). All the family and Sarah and Mike and Evan and Josh (a friend of theirs, we'll get to him later) showed up and screamed at the first show. In general it was fun, and I did wind up with a bit of free time around lunch to check out the rest of Picnic Day and see the seele booth (didn't seem like a moneymaker =( ) and the end of the parade. Melanie once again when I first saw her asked where my boyfriend was...okay, now that drove me a little nuts. But she's got her weird side, must deal...she told me later about how she'd met him (she went to lunch with him and Marianne one day) and Marianne introduced him in an interesting way...I'm still curious as to how I wound up in the conversation, but that's just too snoopy.
After Picnic Day, Mom and Dad took me shopping so I could get some new sandals (my favorite pair suddenly self-destructed). Did that, then I also got two shirts and two skirts for my b-day (between the new red velvet skirt and the top I got in Capitola, I think I've found what to wear to the party. It's my b-day, I can overdo if I wanna), plus some Belly Flops (I love those) and also some magazines, and then got to eat real food...it was good.
Came home around 10 and went on IRC (Mike actually went on IRC! What a shock!) to find out that Josh was having a party...he and Sarah picked me up on the way to the booze-buying. Jessica (or Jess, whichever) and Mike and Evan were there when we arrived, plus Nick (another guy off IRC), and a friend of Josh's and Ryan (from Mike and Evan's first party) and his 15-year-old sister Jill showed too. I liked Jill, she seemed to have brains (unlike Ryan, I have my doubts there). Sarah only had nine drinks...I'm embarrassed to say that this is an improvement for her. No stripping or molestations or come-ons either. Yay!. Good girl! (And yes, I do realize just how sad this is to say, that only nine drinks is an improvement.) Not a hugely wild party, but entertaining enough, and um, interesting conversation.

I don't think you're unwanted at Sudwerk...really. It's an odd mix, really, with the dedicated drinkers, combined with us young'uns, that just seems weird to me. I like restaurant hanging out, but the Sudwerk situation is slightly odd. Not to mention Chris's bitching about irc'ers coming in. Remington doesn't like Sudwerk much either (I think he just goes to watch whatever Sarah does), he keeps saying that we need to find another restaurant to go to. I like the idea, but somehow doubt many others would be convinced into it.
As for marriage...I can't imagine getting married anymore. Even with "the right person." Then again, even though I'm really happy right now, I'm really paranoid at this time to label anything as "the one", etc. I was wrong before, so what the hell do I know about it? I mean, I like the idea of attempting to be together for a long time, but I'm cynical that it's possible for most people. Reminds me of when I was pondering the idea of having people be able to get married for only a year, and then choose whether to re-up or not.
The whole woman-does-the-housework-and-kid-stuff in marriage idea bugs the crap out of me and always has...but I somehow doubt it's going to change a lot in my lifetime. Which probably has at least something to do with my not wanting to get married or have kids much. Especially having kids. Or that I don't cook much or clean much...that being the "little woman's" area that I'd rather avoid.
