The musing thread

I didn't walk either. I've never really understood the ceremony type things or liked them. I would much rather go out to dinner with family and friends instead of participate in a stupid ceremony that is boring for everyone and that you barely get to spend quality time with the people that are there for you, I realize most people go do something after but I would just rather not waste my time doing the ceremony in the first place.

I also don't understand weddings and won't be having one. They are soooo expensive, I don't enjoy them, and idk I don't like the being the center of attention so formally thing either. So maybe that is part of my dislike of ceremonies? But seriously I would rather spend my time with people at like a house party or dinner that doesn't cost much money and you get more quality time with people. I also would rather save the money that people spend on weddings and put it towards a house or something.

I feel like I'm the only one that hates these things..

Nope, I am the SAME way....

I did walk at high school graduation but it was more just... because it's 'tradition' or w/e and to make my family happy to see me walk across the stage but really I wouldn't have cared less if I had to miss it. No desire for a wedding either. If/when I get married, I'd prefer to do it privately, or a court house etc. I would rather spend my money on something else personally.

We threw a suuuuuper small wedding and I don't regret it at all. It was awesome even though it made a lot of people mad. Because we didn't do anything huge we had money to move out west.

Missing ex-best-friends sucks a lot ((hugs)). I feel that, a lot.


Ok...is it just me or is it REALLY weird when people post personal medical stuff on FB? Like...I understand *some* of the oversharing on FB....like posting a pregnancy update every day or all your wedding planning deals or asking for vibes with your mom who has cancer. I get it. It's on your mind a lot, you want to share with the world, you want sympathy or prayers or whatever...I really get it.

Being like "I'm having XYZ symptoms and I'm getting some tests done and doctors think I might have this or that" (especially when it's nothing TERRIBLY serious where it's affecting your ability to otherwise communicate or keep up with commitments), is weird, right??

The new Stephen King mini-series 11/22/63 is being filmed partly in the little village where I live.
My town is so small that it doesn't even show up under the right name on Google Maps (it is combined with the slightly larger neighbouring village).

My friend's in-laws own the garage in the neighbouring village, they were offered $100,000 for use of it in the show and they declined. Now it's up here at our former local garage.

It'll be cool to see my home-town in a real tv show, but I'm sure it'll be a huge pain in the ass as my street has now become the detour street -_-

:yikes: Dude. That's like....2.5 years salary for me (and by me, I mean DH and I's income combined). I can't even imagine turning that down!!!!! lol

Due to the recent uptick in English angora specific inquiries, this rescue has decided to halt all adoptions of English Angora rabbits until further notice. We are not a breed specific angora rabbit rescue! We are still accepting owner surrenders of English Angoras, but they will remain in foster homes until the current fad subsides. Thank you for your understanding

So Josh and I finally ended it last Friday/Saturday. Not the way I would have liked it to go, but the effect was still the same.
It's fairly depressing how quickly I seem to have gotten over it all, but I guess that just means we dragged it on for far too long as it was. Not to say I wasn't devastated for the first couple days, but now it's fine. As far as I know we're not on bad terms.

It was just long distance for so long, and neither of us seemed willing or able to change the living situation for at least another little while.
So to preserve our well-beings we just drifted apart.

Either way, things are moving forward and up. First time being single in like 9 years realistically (have traditionally been a bit of a serial long-term-relationship person) so I mean this should be fun? lol
Oh and interview/skills assessment today! So yay maybe new job!
