Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

I prefer to think of it as:

"I hereby release my finding-a-loyal-and-loving-partner-ma into the wild, with a side of throwing-a-kickass-party-with-cake-ma!"

"Hooray!!!!"

Re-defining traditions is great. Like so many others (particularly with weddings), its the original notion that seems icky to me now.

toss bouquet which was a bunch of little flower bundles tied with a ribbon so when you throw they go everywhere.

My florist friend called those cluster bomb bouquets.

They should be eaten alone, or thrown away.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

But not at Ellis Island: there was no "name choosing" there. [link]

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

I don't know if this has been linked before:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I never had any idea that the bouquet was linked to virginity. One lives, one learns.

I was wondering whether or not to post that as well.

ETA: re: Ellis Island!

Heh. I was totally sure it was about the quickies too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

ETA: re: Ellis Island!

Likely story.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

There should be no chocolate chips in muffins, bagels or bread.

I disagree. When one is making making chocolate bread, one should include chocolate chunks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Chocolate bread should not exist.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

its the original notion that seems icky to me now.

I didn't realize it was meant to be throwing your virginity away; I just dislike how it smacks of "Catch the bouquet and YOU WIN!!! Your grand prize for elbowing the other single women in the face to catch the flowers? A HUSBAND!!!!"

It just seems to put forth the idea that being the next one to get married is the ultimate goal OMG YOU LUCKY BITCH!!!

And, y'know, I have a LOT of goals I'd put before getting married. (Unfortunately no one throws a "world domination" bouquet.)
