citizenjane's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- mouse on marriage tuesday am check her out. and go back one entry, too. hell, go back & back and read the rest and the whole thing and today. now i know why i used to share just about everything with this dama when i was a sweet, young, thing. i'm tired. i was up until after 3am studying about property distribution and taking practice tests and memorizing the reasons that people can claim to extricate themselves from a relationship. but it was good study time. and i did pretty well on the practice tests. knock on wood or some such. you know, i was feeling like this last week. now, i've got this ansy-pants feeling that i'm forgetting to do/say/ask for something that is necessary to my future. reading all these lovely judicial opinions, where judges are vomiting out things like, "marriage is the bedrock of society," and "we deal with a right of privacy older than the bill of rights-older than our political parties, than our school system. marriage is the coming together for better or worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred," and "the joining of the man and woman in marriage is at once the most socially productive and individually fulfilling relationship that one can enjoy in the course of a lifetime." blahblahblah. and we all know maria doesn't believe in marriage. so, will i be ok, you know in the "socially productive" scheme of things? sure, i can live like simone de beavoir or the future people in woman on the edge of time or madonna or all these other people who are satsified with living their own lives. why would i want to pay the state to have a partner/lover/spouse or to get rid of one? who says i gotta have the government granting me benefits for who i sleep with on a regular basis? why would i want the government in my bed? it ain't even that attractive. so now the only thing i gotta worry about is that everyone seems to believe the exact of opposite of me. and even if i never buy in or sell out (same thing my darling), other people will. i'll have one constitutional challenge with that. thanks. hells yeah.
