morrigirlAgnes is now officially engaged. Yes, today Bill asked her to marry him and she said yes. And now they're out on the lawn kissing and making cutsy right outside my window. A week ago that would have severely pissed me off. But now that I've gotten laid and no longer feel like a sexual pariah, it doesn't bother me as much.
Just another name to add to my rapidly growing list of married or soon to be married friends. Danni, Libby, Miriam, Agnes. There's also Starr but she and I were never close. I just don't understand what the big rush to get married is. I mean getting engaged after one year? C'mon, how intelligent is that really? Even solid relationships can break up after three, four, or five years. 27 years also seems to be a pretty unlucky number, meeting more and more people who's parents divorced after 27 years of marriage.
Now if you ask me, Greg abd Maria did it right. They dated for three or for years, moved in together, lived together for something crazy like 10 years and then after having been together for 14, maybe 15 years, they got married. In a time where divorce is so common place ya gotta be careful about who you marry, ya know?
And speaking of couples, Tina and Steffi seem to be going for a world record, seeing how long they can fight over the same issue. I swear it seems all they ever do these days is argue. It's always been my policy that when you start arguing all the time it's time to end the relationship.
And while we're on the subject, I've decided I don't like the men in my roomate's life. And honestly I don't know how much she genuinely likes them either. Jon? Eh, he's nice and all but whatever spark there once as between he and Gemma has faded big time. She never seems happy to be around him anymore. Even when they are laughing and joking with each other, I dunno, she just appears kinda bored. He's not...giving her anything. And the whole Adam ordeal is still stupid. He is never going to get the picture. And she seems genuinely upset that he is never going to get the picture. But neither of them seem to realize yet that the only way to quit this nonsense is for them to stop hanging out as much as they do. I mean, they spend every waking hour together. Only COUPLES do that. I know they have a strong friendship but continuing that friendship in the same manner as they always have is just like leading him on. He shouldn't be letting it happen and neither should she. I wish they'd get some distance from each other. I'm getting tired of hearing about Adam confessing his undying love to Gemma every other day now.
I look at all the boys and girls and silliness around here. And it makes me laugh because we all think we're so fucking mature yet when it comes to interpersonal relationships we conduct ourselves like junior high schoolers. We hang onto dead relationships because we don't want to be alone, we string unwanted lovers along so we can have the luxury of being liked without having to like in return.
Makes me wonder if people ever get beyond this point? Is love always so stupid? Do kids ever become adults when it coes to relationships? Lord knows most of the adults I know haven't. Hell, my mom still blames my Dad for ruining her life, even though it was just as much her decision to marry him. And even at 69 he's still a player. Neither of them have grown up in that respect.
Dunno where ths whole diatribe came from. Eh, at least I wrote something today right?
I'm prolly gonna get more than a few people pissed at me for making this entry public, but eh, if T or Gemma has a problem, (and they are the only people reading this who would) they can talk to me about it. Wouldn't be the first time a subject got ticked at me. *hits adds this entry button*
