If SHE were a man there never would have been all the commotion anyway! That's my point. If a WASP man disappeared do you think we'd have seen "MISSING GROOM!" posted all over the news? Would they be giving the abandoned bride a polygraph test?
Yeah right.
We all know a woman's place is in the home.
I feel comforted knowing that as a white southern woman with a debit card and a mother who loves me, I fit many of the stereotypes that define this runaway bride. All I can say is thank the fucking gods I don't have some stupid man around who is going to flip out the moment I decide to take off on the spur of the moment. I sure as hell don't call my family every time I go out of town. I don't think that I'll be doing that when I'm in my 30's (like the woman in question) either.
Granted what this woman did was kind of crazy but the media is crazier. Getting married in the first place is a crazy thing to do, a weak person's way to temporarily ease the fear of dying alone. A business person's way of figuring out how to save time and tax money.
It's sad that a person can't just disappear for a while without informing all of the people that they want to disappear from that they're going to disappear for a while. I must have a different view of privilege than ajay. I would have thought a privileged class person would be able to take off when they want without seeking permission.
I know that to me living in a subdivision, being white with my ugly, white, stocky, aging and male fiancé, jogging everyday, is not my vision of the ideal life. I actually applaud this run-away-bride for realizing what a boring line up of stereotypes her life consists of and doing something radical about it. Yeah, when her 200 bucks ran out and she couldn't buy more bus tickets (it's a wonder she just didn't take a private jet to Madrid in the first place, what ever was she thinking?) She pulled the coward's move and called the fiancé, rather than lets say, turning tricks at truck stops.
Now she's going to settle into the life, marry the guy, maybe have a kid, maybe not, eventually she'll divorce the guy and marry a guy named Butch, and they'll go out to the honkytonks together, maybe some out-of-luck female friend will move in with them and they'll start having threesomes and wearing matching lingerie.
But in the mean time this person and companion should suffer fines and community service, why? Because there are not yet enough laws. We always need more. Is lying to the F.B.I. a crime? If I walk up to an agent and say "that's a very attractive suit and tie you're wearing" when In fact it's a hideously boring combination in my subjective view, should I be pressed with charges in a court of law? No.
If I walk up to an officer of the law and say "A short black man snatched my purse" and they go out looking and pick up some guy but it's not the right guy but I say "yeah that's him" and they put the guy in jail for a year, should I be pressed with charges in a court of law? Yes
Who did this runaway woman hurt in her actions? Who's civil liberties did she infringe upon? As far as I can tell it's the counties pocketbook that suffered the most damage and in this country capital is the new god. Money makes the world go round. I say we kill the woman and sell her skin to the highest bidder on e-bay. Then we can donate to funds to the county and they can donate the funds to the public library, that's only going to be replaced with the web in 15 years anyways, and then 5 years after that the books will all burn by the hands of a teenage pyromaniac.

Duluth Police Chief Randy Belcher acknowledges: "It's a very real possibility she did get cold feet. I mean, how many husbands have gone out for a pack of cigarettes and not come back?"

I would say that women are more valuable only in the fact that they are more controllable. That's why a woman breaking the cycle of predictability is so threatening to our overly masculine and heterosexual epeeps.

Shawn [inlink]shawnr,78[/inlink] I agree that male circumcision is silly but I really do think female circumcision has to be worse. I'd hate to imagine life without my clit I already have a harder time achieving orgasm than the many circumcised men I've fucked. Maybe if men kept their foreskin their dicks would be less sensitive and they'd be more on track with their partners. I have no fucking clue. I think male circumcision is good for lazy parents who don't want to spend any extra time washing of their babies wee wee.

Great, I'm getting sick right when school has come to a boil.

last night a certain epeep became offended when I took off my bra and tried to hand it to him. We were at the old pink. I only did it in reaction to his comments on some other woman's nips sticking out too long a time. I wanted to show him that nips have amazing endurance and it's not all that remarkable. Nips ain't like dick, it take a lot less blood to make nips stand erect.
Then he gets into how everything I do offends. He asking for it though. His comments about this [inlink]robin,346[/inlink] led to this [inlink]robin,347[/inlink] I told him he's boring. that's my solution to life. Commenting on the boring things.
I took vitamin b last night.

This was outside my window a minute age.

people write like they talk. I guess it's hard to do that unless you're recording the words of someone else.
catalepsy is my word of the day.

"She'll not belong their."
"I'll be here four you"
"I shurly did when I took the first bite"
"For this place is fore the insane"

Those quotes are the highlights of the poetry I just found under the bed. I wrote it in the still of night in 1995, when I was 13. I was looking for old syllabi, when I came across this good and solid writing. I had to read it all. OK, back to paper fishing.

I'll give you one more fantastic quote

"One day I'll find a special place,
a place where you can see anyone you won'ts face,
a place where there is no pain inside,
a place where only unicorns ride"

hmmm, that is so good. that last line really makes you ponder deep thoughts, i bet.

I've been quoted twice this week and i'm terribly excited about it. Once in the buffalo news and once in the student newspaper . I like this being quoted thing because it's a way to get your voice out there without necessarly having to write.

"Tell me to do things like, "Gee, maybe you should take out the trash. Try washing the dishes. Hey, you should put your clothes in the washer. Why don't you throw out the stuff rotting in your fridge?' "

"I have this severe problem of extreme messiness, and I really, really, really did need a little encouragement. I thought it would be mean to actually ask him to come clean himself, but some encouragement would be nice."

"We got one room fairly clean. Chris did a pretty good job and was very nice about it."
