bloody open diary and bloody weddings

10/23/2010

I guess I'm another refugee from Open Diary... if they manage to sort their shit out then this will probably only be temporary but we will see. it's just frustrating wanting to write only for the site to be down AGAIN... it's not the same just writing something in a word document.

I just wanted to have a whinge about how a girl I used to be at uni with who is my age (20) has recently got engaged after being with her boyfriend for only one year (exactly). it wouldn't be so bad if they were planning on a long engagement, but they're planning on getting married in under a year and started planning the wedding straight away. I suppose it's not as bad as it could be, and MAYBE they are perfect for each other, but to me this seems really rushed. Seems like she just wants the bling on her finger, the perfect dress and the dream wedding as soon as possible to show off to everyone she knows... like 'look how well I'M doing in life!' kinda thing. She already has her wedding dress...

Just ugh. I think that if you're serious about wanting to be together for life then you wait a little longer so that you know you are going to work for the long term, before such a big commitment... it's a lot easier to just break up or break off an engagement even than divorce. And especially with how she's barely out of her teens... I think she'd only been 20 for a few weeks before the proposal.

I've been with my boyfriend officially for nearly 2 years and unofficially for over a year longer. Can't be bothered explaining but the point is that we're not rushing into anything... I know there's some girls out there who think that they're wasting their time if they don't get proposed to by x amount of time, but that's bullshit. If you've been with someone so long then it's not like they're going to suddenly up and leave just because you're not married... there's no point rushing. I still feel very young yet and would feel extremely weird being engaged to be married just yet... it's something I want of course but in a vague 'sometime in the future' kind of way. I'm content for it to happen at the right time.

Anyway... what is with this signature thing? I want the main 'name' that people see to be caramelchicken... do people see 'fuck the system' or 'caramelchicken'?
