whenever i open up the pages of my hometown newspaper, i’m bound to see at least 2 engaged couples in which i know either one or both of the people. and not just that, but a lot of people are pregnant and due soon, too, it seems. alex said the other day that sex was very popular this time 9 months ago, and she would be correct in that.

it makes me feel old. i mean, i’m 22 and the last things on my mind at the moment are wedding plans. of course i’ve gotta have a potential groom first, but even if i did, i would not be thinking marriage anytime soon. i am way too young to try to do that stuff on my own.

my cousin (through marriage) is getting married to his longtime girlfriend. both of these kids have a lot of friends, particularly those of higher social and economic status, so i’m sure they’re gonna get some pretty cool gifts. i don’t know if they’re going to have a big wedding or not. my dad told me once that when i get married, i could either have a huge wedding or a large sum of money (what would have paid for the wedding). i’m definitely going to take the money. it’ll come in handy later on to help pay for the living situation and whatever stuff we might need but didn’t get, and don’t forget the honeymoon. i could find some cheap reno hotels for us to stay in when we go to las vegas. ooh, but then i’d probably want to bet that money all away. scratch that. which would be cheaper, anyway, going overseas or going to vegas? food for thought.

this entire entry has been an absolute babble from my brain to the keyboard to the screen, can’t you tell? maybe it’s that blasted heat again.
