Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am feeling like the world's worst person(or at least the world's worst friend) today. A good friend of mine just announced, via her lj, that she's pregnant. I know that she wants kids, and this is very much a good thing for her, so I should be happy for her, right? Nope. My first reaction upon reading the announcement was a sinking feeling, and the thought "Crap. There goes everything." Basically I'm worried that she's going to become yet another woman I know whose life is all about the pregnancy/baby/child. As I am not real interested in that, I fear I'll lose her as a friend.I feel like I'm running out of female friends without kids. I'm a horrible, selfish person for thinking this, I know, but I can't seem to stop.

(OK, I realize that part of this stems from my fear that if/when I get pregnant, I'm going to lose who I am. sigh)

The status is NOT quo.

Sheryl, I really understand that. Don't feel horrible and selfish--I think it's a very natural fear, and one I've felt many times myself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

However, I doubt personalization would have helped that circumstance.

Yeah-huh -- who would accidentally drive away with a car with shoes and whatnot hanging off the back??

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sheryl, one of my cousin's (the one with the wedding of the matching purses, actually) inspired that fear in me and turned out to be quite the opposite. She loves her munchkins nearly as much as I do and yet when she's away from them she really relishes her grown-up time.

Trudy,

I really don't have anything solid to my fears about my friend. I guess I'm just tired and stressed, which leads me to overreact a bit. Thanks for the anecdote.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ya know, the Simpson's episode with Michael Jackson is a little creepy these days.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I think people should tell me one thing (or more) that made them happy this weekend.

Mine would be not getting a ticket from the butthead cop who pulled me over on Sunday, or if that doesn't count, buying house plants and some flowering plants for the patio.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The party at our house was oodles of fun. (EDIT: it would have been more fun if you had been there, obviously.)

We now have a very clean house and basement.
