The Venting Thread

Eloping is totally where it's at lol. We eloped and we haven't regretted it a single day in our lives LOL.

I love going to other peoples weddings, I had no desire to try to co ordinate my own. With all the long distance people (being that none of our family lives anywhere near us... Except for and aunt and uncle and anfew cousins on Brians side) and that some of my siblings don't get along, my sister hates my mom, etc etc etc and then all the money to put out. I always thought I wanted the wedding but push come to shove and I was like HECK NO and we eloped and told everyone later

It's funny because when I first met a friend of mine we were talkig about how we met our spouses and she said "did you have a wedding or dis you elope?" I had never been asked that... Usualy it's what was your wedding like or where was it. I told her we eloped and she said "I thought so. I don't know you very well yet but you just don't seem like the big wedding type". LOL

It's almost 10 and it hasn't cooled down at all yet upstairs. And of course the AC would go out on a holiday weekend. So it can't get fixed until Tuesday.

I want fun themed, he wants classic.

I'm in a roommate situation, BF and I live upstairs in the "attic" (that's been furnished for an office or extra bedroom space) and the others live downstairs on opposite ends of the house. Like most larger houses in this area, there's two AC units to cool the house. One is for our upstairs room alone.

And it isn't working.

It's not like, oh, it gets a little hot but it's okay. No. It's an ATTIC. IT IS FRIGGIN HOT PEOPLE. It's been 30 minutes and already at 90. PLUS HUMIDITY. AND ALL THE ELECTRONICS IN THIS ROOM.

It went from cold to super hot so quick there is CONDENSATION ON THE MIRROR. AND MY CAMERA.

MY CAMERA.

Never mind that the conundrum I posted about had NOTHING to do with what I'm looking for in my dating life, and was simply that to reply to a guy ON A DATING SITE might be leading him on, a problem I have talked to my co-worker who met his fiancee online about in the past - it's disheartening for a guy to put the time into drafting up an e-mail to a girl and to just simply hear nothing back which is what happens 99% of the time. But is it fair to respond back when he's going to take that as a signal that now there's a possibility I'm interested when I'm not?

I wish I could just find a friggin date. I haven't had a date in years. Dunno what is wrong with me.

Also, it's HOT outside. I hate it.

Mike and I will most likely be having a "civil" marriage at the end of the month - going down to the courthouse and signing papers so I can get benefits and when he gets his orders out of a-school he'll already be listed as married so we can get the housing we need. I am so, so tempted to just say "screw it!" and have a small, small, small ceremony with just me in my dress, my family, and his parents. Reception can be dinner afterwards.

I actually pitched that idea to him in a letter, but we'll see. Lol

If we dont, the ceremony will be after a-school, and I'm torn between wanting to plan it and going all bride-zilla, or saying, "THiS IS TOO COMPLICATED!"

I'm actually giving everyone a lot of leeway in what they want to do, because I just don't care. But I asked Mike what his opinions were, and he said, "I want my dad's Charger as the get away care and I like purple. Other than that, go with it!" He will regret those words. Hahaha.

I totally wouldn't mind a "traditional" wedding, but it is made even more complicated when we won't know a date until, like, super close to the date. Eloping when we get the chance sounds so much more simple.

REDHOTNESS. Cheer me up. See below.

My vent:

Step 1: Ask customer out on date.

Step 2: Customer says yes.

Step 3: Saurus does excited dance.

Step 4: Customer cancels an hour before said date, further confirming that I suck and no one wants anything to do with me.

I just give up. **** it all.
