Well, I don't know anything about your relationship as it stands right now but it wouldn't be the first marriage of convenience if thats how it went down. You could always get married again in a few years if you decide this is a longterm thing and what a more romantic/serious ceremony.

We've talked about that. Neither wants to go there, but we've discussed it. It's about choices, really. Just need the art to take off. As I said before, I'm pretty happy, but life isn't easy at the moment.

Thanks. I like it, too. the company I'm using to host is pretty easy to use. there are some downsides (photos from the site won't add on facebook when I share the link on my fan page, for example), but it's clean, easily navigable, and has better SEO.
Now I just need numbers.

that thread is turning into gold. I don't want someone to all ape shit on me, so I'll pass on the e-mails, but that's funny what she said. She's obviously quite oblivious to this place.

You post this with authority, like you know something no one else knows, but this is no startling revelation.

In defense of the cliff, it was piss easy. Fun though, and a pretty cool position; perhaps it can shrug me off next time.

That's been discussed, too. She's a keeper. Don't want to lose this one. Nothing in life that's easy is worth keeping right?

so shit just got heavier. so things are good in a lot of ways between us, but we have problems with the direction of each other's lives. I won't delve too much into that except to say that's background.
Now I want her to meet my family, and she wants to meet them, too. her thing is relationship-building. that's her in both a cultural and personal sense, so this is kind of important to her. it's important to me, too, but culturally family is a lot more distant for me than it is for her, and we're talking a difference by miles.
So we've been talking about going to the U.S. in July when she's not teaching (winter break), but I've been saying I can't afford it (I can't). And I want to go (because I miss my family, too), but shit, it's just not easy to pull that cash out and go. I'm going to be cancelling my student loan payments soon (I qualify, and yes, it's that difficult at times), so that's where I'm at.
And then a good friend (who everyone here loves to hate) goes and gets engaged.
Well, now I gotta find a way to book two flights, because i can't justify going to a wedding and not visiting my family. How much of a jerk am I now?
I just sent an e-mail to the Lady telling her that I think the Universe is pissed at me for asking it to juggle so much shit. I just hope it doesn't drop the porcelain.
shit.
