Woman, thy name is fickle

It's entirely possible that aliens have invaded my body and mind. Less than a year ago, I was still dreaming of a loft downtown, a life without a car, crowds and pavement.

Now, I suddenly find myself trawling Boston.com's real estate section for houses set on no less than an acre of land. I don't understand this: I hate where I live in the burbs right now! You only have to look at the post below. Malls, highways, paucity of sidewalks - all elicit derision and patronization.

Of course, we live with all the inconveniences of the burbs, and none of the conveniences, ie yard... room.... privacy...

"You're growing up," I've been told. But why is suburban living any more grown up than city living?

I've picked out a few places already.

Some are almost under a million dollars...

Seriously, when do I get to grow up again?

Looks like I'm having another identity crisis!

Little girls grow up

This weekend, my BFF finally made an honest man out of her BF. Two weeks ago, she was here for final preparations, and it happened to come out that I tend to cry at weddings. This simple fact caused so much uproar and incredulity, that I was partially offended: why is it so surprising? Is it because I'm such a heartless bi-atch that I am dead inside and nothing gets to me? To show all the people out there who believe that I have no soul, I dedicate this entire post to the wedding. Here we have the beautiful bride-to-be in her gorgeous hotel suite (bigger than her actual living quarters), sporting bridal bunny ears provided by the mother-in-law to be. We had a small gathering of 2 mother hens, 2 regular hens, some little chickens, and 1 gay guy in the hotel the night before - champagne flowed and dirty jokes were made. Right after, I spent the night in bed with the bride, and we spasmed together all night long. Actually, I spasmed - apparently, I have seizures in my sleep - hence, t...

Belated outrage

http://crooksandliars.com/logan-murphy/ohio-republican-re-introduces-bill-gi So, a pro life Republican lawmaker wants to re-introduce a bill which would make abortion impossible unless written permission slips from both parents are signed. There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. I think I'll start with the point of view of a pro-choice woman. I am not a feminist, not really, not in the classic sense of the word. However, by this age, I can recognize when rights are being granted and then taken away. So, by telling a woman that yes, she has the right to choose - but only if a man agrees, and signs a paper - is patronizing, offensive and incongruent. Plus, I'd like to point out the blind assumption that every woman who is pregnant out there has a man whose permission she has the chance to obtain; this implies horrendous stigma, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not even talking about special cases, like rape or incest, although it's wor...
