Weddings
Weddings after weddings after weddings...soon gets very expensive. I've noticed that I'm in that time in life when most of my friends are getting married...which brought me to the thought of an episode of "Sex and the City". When everyone celebrates getting married...what about the people that end up never getting married in their life? Why doesn't society ever celebrate them? People spend so much money on people that get married, have kids, buy a homes, etc...what about the people who decide in life not to have those things? Do they just need to go and live life as if they have nothing to celebrate? How does that make them feel? I guess all these questions have started to come up cause I've come to the realization that there is always a chance that this may be me. Is society still stuck on their ways of traditional couples, family, etc that there isn't something for people who decide to not get married or never find that perfect one?
I think one day...not sure how long it'll take but one day, they should have a national singles day...that's a good idea.

At fist thought I agreed with you. There should be a day for singles to "celebrate". Then as I dwelled on that thought, I realized, that I don't need a "Day", I'm not going to wait for some groupie to erect a date to recognize that single people need love too. As singles we have the freedom to celebrate everyday, any day and not have to WAIT for that "special" day. It's Friday, I think I'll celebrate tonight.
There's definitely an inverse relationship between the number of weddings i have to attend and my general mood and level of emotional stability.
We should keep a log of all the wedding gifts (and flights to the wedding) and then charge them later on for attending, if let's say, we don't end up getting married.
It would be sort of a "here's a present and i'm flying to be there on your special day, because i'm so happy you're getting married, but in case i don't get to have the same kind of happiness later in my life, you'll owe that same market value back to me, so that i can somehow use the money to console my lonely bitter ass in my old age" idea.
Who will start up the spreadsheet?
Haha...that's a good idea...but for some reason, I don't think it'll fly.
It just might fly. Happily married couples with children often feel sympathetic for singles as if we have some kind of handicap, like a missing limb or something. I'll take sympathy gifts any day.
Hell, I'll take sympathy sex any day too. Well, not from just anybody, because that would be, well, just wrong.
