Willow ,'Get It Done'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You guys, I have been such a stressball for the past two days, and after therapy, I feel so much better! Nothing has changed, but just putting stuff out there is so helpful.
Yay!
I totally gagged at aerie too, and then wondered if I've been living in the suburbs in NC for too long. I'm glad to hear that it's actually just that fucking precious after all.
what makes an aerie different from an apt?
could someone please fucking tell me?
do faeries live there?
And still, when I get together with extended family over the holidays, the very sweet and concerned relatives never hesitate to ask me when I am going to "finally settle down".
That's what I meant about the grass is always greener, though. I "settled down" a long time ago, but I still questions and funny, semi-pitying looks when I say I've never traveled abroad or finished college and we don't own a house. It always goes both ways.

An aerie is a bird's nest in a high place.

Oh definitely. But I wonder, do people often ask you when you're going to travel so that you can finally fulfill some sort of destiny (the way people ask me when I am going to "land a husband")? It's more the societal stigma that gets to me. I mean, I'd like to have a partner for sure, but on top of that I deal with all of the other messaging from society about coupledom and marriage.
Maybe not with travel, but there's definitely a stigma about not finishing college. Or maybe it's just in my head, and I see it in others.
No, you're right. There're so many stigmas to be had - enough to go around!
so why didn't she just say "bird's nest?"

Sounds like a real estate agent's way of selling a place that's way too drafty and full of bird shit.

Garrett didn't have quite the right ring?
