my friend got married yesterday.

hearing aid: 987
song of the moment: break down

i need this old train to break down
oh please just let me please break down
i want to break down, but i can't stop now
let me break on down

but you can't stop nothing, if you don't have anything
you can't stop wishing, if you haven't let go
keep on rolling, put the moment on hold

i loathe weddings. only because i think i'm never going to get married. i'll really be the shrivelled old lady with 27 cats. damn.

i think weddings just bring a rollercoaster of emotions. for example, you enter the sanctuary are are awed by the beautiful layout. then overwhelmed by the number of people there. later you are irrinoyed because everyone is just acting happy for someone they barely know. and after that initial emotional overload, then comes the wait for everyone to get settled, and you get bugged because you think that you've got better things to do than sit on the benches and wait on 2 people! the ceremony starts and all you can think about is how fat the bride looks or how the dress in not flattering on her. then you think about when you are going to get married, and just frown. if not that, then you think about the guy/girl you are dating, and realise how you don't want to see them at the end of the aisle, and you frown somemore. the pastor or the minister in charge reads a passage for the bride and groom about love and life (which somehow always seems to annoy the crap out of me, especially when they choose the one which says that the woman is to submit to their husband). during the exchange of vows, everyone's holding their breath, and sucking up all the air in the surroundings that you don't have enough air and want to faint or die. so once air is replenished with all the carbon dioxide, everyone smiles because now that it's been said - the declaration of eternal love. you smile too, because there's something in the air, definitely contagious.

oh how i loathe weddings.

"to love and to cherish. to love is to cherish. to cherish is to love forever."

the best quality of your other half should be their ability to love. to love with sensitivity, compassion and understanding. that is love.


i hate you
i loathe you
i dismiss all thoughts of you.
