Last night, I had a wonderful night that I will summarize with my alliteration skills:
Mongo and Murrbeth are marvelous mole makers.
But during that night a conversation came up about children or relationships or something and I started thinking:
What kind of nutter would marry ME? Now this isn't an exclamation of "Oh, I'm not good enough to get married." One day, when I'm financially set and deeply in love with someone I'll get married, but the question is, "with who?" Those who know me well enough will know I'm not your average Jane. Honestly guys, look deep inside of yourself, and think who. Think of the sane man who will want to marry the procrastinator with the weird sleeping schedule who likes to roll around on stuff and never stops singing.
He will either be deaf or singing will be like breathing to him.
Maybe we would meet in a traveling circus as a double act that does musical comedy.
I don't know if you guys know this, but I am quite a romantic. I have made it a policy that my first date will not be with any old guy who just asks. It will be with someone that I have been long term friends with, I will already have quite a bit of romantic feelings for him already, and we will "fist pump" (see post #19) through our entire date.
I don't really have any specifications for what he looks like. Just be clean and generally neat. Though, I wouldn't mind if he were as handsome as anything. And taller than me.
If we ever do the whole married with children thing, our children are going to turn out WEIRD. Hipsters, most likely. Try as I might, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to correctly raise children without screwing them up, which is what worries me most. What if they get bullied? What if they are the bully? What do I do when she wants to date a boy with a blue mohawk and twelve piercings, seven of which aren't visible? What do I do if he wants to date a girl who wears see through shirts and thong underwear? What if, God forbid, they start a drug habit? There are so many things that can go wrong with parenting it's scary.
Even before that, I have to provide for my children. A home, electricity, clothing, and eventually Internet will become a necessity.
Even before that I have to get married and be able to work on marriage with children.
Even before that I have to fall in love.
And even before that, I need figure out what I want in life.
Right now I only have a few things I want to do: be a performer, be an artist, be a business owner, or be a biochemist.
All this talk of the future makes my head hurt. Do you remember when your biggest problem was what would happen when there was an odd number of candy between two people? I do.
"Famous? I don't know about. It's hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say, 'Thanks, that was great, here's some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'"
Terry Pratchett, Soul Music, page 151
