Heh. Maybe that'd be better kept in reserve for the Q&A in case your dad brings up the get married "option".
You could always sigh, look down at your hands and say "Dad, I WANT to get married. I really do. But...it's not legal for me yet..."

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A number of us here can contribute to vw's next Powerpoint presentation: Why Marriage is Not the Answer.

Hope Emily's right about the easy deferral process.
I'm absolutely right about the deferral process. Er, what'd I say about it?

No shit! How many of us on this board consider ourselves independent and as successful as we feel we need to be without any XY chromosones around to whine in our ear about where their dinner is? Yeesh. Point your dad in our direction, vw, we'll set him straight.

Your E doppelganger, Erin, actually answered that question.
I have written 2 paragraphs. Not pages. Paragraphs. Is that good enough to break for lunch then?

(er, sorry for the lame ass updates. Trying to shame myself into getting this done, but I don't think I need to involve the thread to quite this degree!)

I'm getting the pig!
VW, I'm hoping the Mother's Day plans and Monday paperwork all go well. And if marriage comes up again, maybe you can just tell your parents you're working on yourself for now...
ION ~ I would NOT recommend watching an entire season of House over the span of a few days to anyone.
I swear that I didn't used to be a hypochondriac. Now every blur of vision or minor ache has me briefly imagining the absolute worst.

I've been saving my season 1 DVDs for when I have the time to indulge in all of them more or less straight through. So, maybe I should save them for when others are around and can reassure me that, no, I do not have some weird ass disease that causes spots on my vajayjay while projectile vomiting?
