What's everyone up to right now?

Washing my hamster

Is that a metaphor?

Sitting in the chapel an hour before meditation. I took off my tops and pants to get comfortable, but it's unusually cool in here. It's probably the oldest part of the church, so it isn't well insulated against the cold outside. Sitting in a chapel makes me think of marriage. Part of me goes all dreamy inside, wishing I were getting married. Then another part of me remembers why I have chosen to live alone, knowing how hard it is to love me, and knowing I never doubted it was the ethical thing to do... but wondering what my life could have been. And now that I'm past my child bearing years, feeling that door slam shut.

Still, I sit in the chapel and wonder.

Marriage is nawt just for childbearing. Hell, my aunt had a baby at 45 and her daughter is the most well adjusted one of the family

If Esquilax has taught me anything, it's that we can shut the doors, but that doesn't mean they're locked and someone might just want to come through them.

[Jackalope]

Carne asada and cerveza.

[Jackalope]

Unlocking thread. How'd that happen?

Reading "The Ancestor's Tale" by Richard Dawkins.

I didn't mean to imply I couldn't marry if I couldn't have babies. It would have been clearer if I'd stated that the door to child bearing was shut as well. It's just that thoughts of marriage and relationships brought up thoughts of children and all the experiences I'll never have now that I'm too old. It's like a piece of me is missing. I don't know how to explain it, there's just an emptiness there.
