i was doing my usual rounds of facebook stalking, only to find out that the first guy to ever feel me up is now engaged and his fiancee is 7 months pregnant.
that is a straight shot to my proverbial nuts in regards to how much i'm not doing with my life. "hey, first feeler of my boobs....what've you been up to?" "oh nothing....just making a new being, starting an awesome new life blah blah blah. what've you been doing?" "i uhh...slept with a herion addict recently? his dog really liked me, so that was cool" seriously, nothing puts my life into more perspective than hearing about all these people i went to high school (and in some cases, elementary school) with, getting married and playing house. only for real.
this one really irks me because i feel completely jipped by the powers-that-be. don't get me wrong, this kid is a great guy and deserves all the happiness he can get....but for real? those were my boobs! i did all the work growing them. i should be getting married first, right?
which brings me to the next point in my feeling like crap cycle that this news always brings. why the fuck do i care? i'm all about being independent (as i freeload off my parents) and i totally can't see myself settling down right now and essentially think it's rather dumb to do so at my age. (going on 23, for those of you keeping track) but i've paid my dues......i've attracted all the crazy guys, so the normal ones have a clear path to the rest of you chicks out there. i'm not even asking for someone to be a lifetime partner! just someone i can bang on a regular basis and not feel weird talking to them outside of the bed. so...a step above a booty call and half a step down from a relationship? commitment scares the shit out of me still, but it would be nice to have someone to joke around with.
you know what...there's no real need for panic. there's an anomaly. apparently nearly everyone i went to high school with was enamored with the "young family" idea. i was the only one awake when they taught what the definition of "forever" was. you're damn right i choked too. in elementary school. so they're the crazy ones. i have nothing to worry about. until i start inexplicably collecting cats.....

I know 3 people that I graduated high school with that are now married and pregnant. (They even got married before they got pregnant. I know, it's crazy. But they're Mormons...) So I can get where you're coming from. (I'm 19, living with my mom.) Yep. Such is life. :]
