In Praise of Solitude
Now Playing: "Let Go" by Frou Frou.
I've just discovered the music of Zero 7, and I love it. It's slow, jazzy, and wonderfully mellow; a lower-key version of some of Yoko Kanno's music from Cowboy Bebop. Music to chill too, y'know? Sublime, melt-into-the-mood music.
I'd planned to go see the Caribana parade yesterday, but the weather in the morning was forboding enough that I didn't feel like standing there in the rain, and so I didn't go, in the end. Went shopping at Scarborough Town Centre instead! Much endorphins (and clothes) for me!
Started reading the Kenshin manga the other day, and i really think Kenshin as Battousai looks a lot more menacing in the manga. They leave his eyes unshaded, which gives him this flat, intimidating, you're-already-dead-and-i'm-not-going-to-blink-while-i-kill-you look. I never really got into the anime - too much rurouni, too little hitokiri. (On an unrelated topic - why, oh why, is Kenshin voiced by a girl?) The manga looks to be the same way, but I'm gonna stick with it for a bit, see if I like it better. When I left off yesterday, Sano had just joined the group, which is where I stopped watching the anime. To hear some of you talk, Kenshin is the greatest thing since grilled cheese sandwiches, but I'm not convinced yet. :D
In praise of solitude - I don't realize why everyone my age is so insistent on finding someone. IMO, it's soothing just to be alone, but then, maybe I'm an aberration. I mean, the very concept of marriage is scary to me. Can you imagine spending the rest of your life with one single person? Waking up to the same face, day after day after neverending day? *brrr* There's no point in my complaining about not finding a guy, cause even if I did, I probably couldn't commit. Which is not to say I'd mind having a guy pamper me, mind you. Mocha lattes are always welcome! :D
and now i'm off. noticed the frequent updates? also notice the lack of comments. no comments get me depressed; blogging sans comments is like talking to a wall. I talk, you talk, that's what's termed a conversation in most circles, yeah?
ciao!

Well, in my experience, people rush into relationships because they're uncomfortable being in their own company and wish to distract themselves from the idea by being in other people's company.
Nowadays, marriage doesn't have the tone of finaliy that it did in the conservative days. I'm sure now people would get married if they just wanted household stuff they didn't want to buy themselves. Plus society can't allow divorce lawyers to starve, for heaven's sake.
In my experience, people want to get in a relationship to avoid being in their own company.
Nowadays though, marriage doesn't hold the same gravity it did in more conservative times. I'm sure people now would get married just to get free household stuff. Plus, we as a society can't very well let divorce lawyers starve, for heaven's sakes!
Shewwie! Guess who this is? It's the Ducky! Ok, will shut up before smn loads bazooka and aims at my head.
I don't like the idea of arranged marriage... marriage, by itself is ok. "The mail order bride/groom" system is an insult to our ability to find someone we want to spend the rest of my life with. But that's just my opinion...
I'm the opposite of a relationship magnet. I haven't had offers that I'd consider. I am ultra-picky, so that's probably one reason. Still, the only guys who I attract are too geeky or too old for my tastes. Uh...balding = too old. People with children = too old.
Yeah.
