And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Well, that would be totally different, naturally.

Jesse's mom is funny, but should I ever have a wedding, it will be a civic affair, and anything that happens at a church will still be a private ceremony because 1) I don't much like the larger community in any sense. 2) Unless I have had some massive change, I will want to control the event within an inch of its life.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Well, I'm not sure our friends' wedding is so much private private as it's over on the Olympic Peninsula (family connection and/or they go hiking there a lot), but most of their friends are here in Seattle.

On the running mates thing, I laughed hardest at the kitty and the entire state of Ohio.

Oh, some Freeper said that all the GOP needed to do to win the general was show a picture of Obama with a turban on his head next to McCain in naval uniform. Only they spelled it "turbine," which led to the following post at dKos: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of this came up when some friends of mine had a wedding with just their families in one place, and then a reception somewhere else later. I got the whole lecture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Only they spelled it "turbine," which led to the following post at dKos: [link]

Bwahaha!

Also, I would totally vote for an Obama/Optimus Prime ticket.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Also, I would totally vote for an Obama/Optimus Prime ticket.

I'd be afraid not to. (Despite the fact that, as an Ohioan, I would like my tiny slice of glory by serving as 1/11,478,006th of the vice presidency.)

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

My feelings about weddings and guests:

1. You are not obligated to invite anyone to your wedding, particularly someone who's name you don't even know.

2. Weddings are EXPENSIVE. Giving all of your single friends a plus one could easily cost another few thousand dollars.

3. While I can strike up a conversation with anyone, I do understand that not everyone is like that. But if you can't go to a wedding by yourself, just don't go. (and don't feel obligated to send a gift. Miss Manners says that you only have to give a gift if you go, not if you're just invited)

4. Put the single people together at a table, so they have someone to talk to. Also, task your more outgoing friends to look out for the guests who don't know a lot of people to make sure they feel included.

5. Anyone who asks me for a guest at my (future) wedding will be disinvited.
