Oh! And I went to IKEA this weekend. It was my first time.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Surprising, huh?
They should hook up with the mother of a friend who hyphenated her husband's surname of Cumming with hers of Moyston.
It was my first time.
How'd that work out for you?

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
The bouquet toss skeeves me.
"Here's my virginity!"
"Hooray!!!!"

I have a catalogue, some notes, and a healthy fear.

I have a catalogue, some notes, and a healthy fear.Yeah, that's the way it usually goes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
God, I love Ikea.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Mmm, Ikea. I love shopping there and I love those crazy-ass meatballs and lingonberries with an embarassing fervor.

I never got past the healthy fear stage. Also, last time I was there, I ended up buying the ugliest "stool" ever.

The wife takes the husband's name, which, hello! Why can't the *husband* take the *wife's* name? (Although, really, the wife's name is actually her father's name, so it's all one big patriarchal gang-bang of nomenclature.)
Couples from my Scandinavian-American college sometimes disassemble their family names and reassemble them into a new but equally ordinary name. So if a Holmgaard marries a Bjornquist they call themselves Holmquist. Some look back a generation or two until they find a name that is present in both family histories and use that one. It helps that most Scandinavian-American family names were assigned at Ellis Island, and therefore don’t have much history attached to them. I like the idea that the new family has it's own name, connected to but distinct from the parental families.
