Change

It's interesting to see how much I've changed over the past many years. Just recently, I found myself re-reading some of my old xanga posts from long long ago. How so much has changed in my life. Yet some things will always stay constant.

Content?

Normally I'm perfectly fine sitting at home by myself; reading a book, playing video games or watching movies. But then there are nights when I'd really wish I had a SO to go out with. Sigh. I'd say closer to 60-40 now.

Emails

I finally activated my email account for MBA school back at UIUC. Figured I should start getting ready to get back into school mode. Anyway, when I logged on (they managed to get me the SAME email address from waaaay back in my undergrad years. After all, how many Der's are out there?) I opened my inbox to like 20 emails! What the heck. Maybe 5 were legit from MBA school. Another 10 were marketing ads sent to the wrong person (what da....???) . And the last 5 were from sources that I had bought stuff from back in 2000. They were STILL sending email to me? Even after my acct was deactivated for over 7 years. Wow.

Btw. Don't bother sending me email to my MBA acct. I probably won't be checking it as often as Gmail.

Marriage

People have been giving me subtle (or really.. not so subtle) hints about finding a gf at grad school. And yes, someday I'd love to be married and have kids. But for now... I'll just find amusement in reading articles like this.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY?**
===============================

( 1 ) You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
               -- Alan, age 10

( 2 ) No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marrry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with.
              -- Kirsten, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?

( 1 ) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married.
              -- Freddie, age 6

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?

( 1 ) You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
               -- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?

( 1 ) Both don't want any more kids.
               -- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?

( 1 ) Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
             -- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?

( 1 ) I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
              -- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?

( 1 ) When they're rich.
               -- Pam, age 7

( 2 ) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
               -- Curt, age 7

( 3 ) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do.
            -- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?

( 1 ) I don't know which is better, but I'll tell you one thing. I'm never going to have sex with my wife. I don't want to be all grossed out.
            -- Theodore, age 8

( 2 ) It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
               -- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?

( 1 ) There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
              -- Kelvin, age 8


HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?

( 1 ) Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
                 -- Ricky, age 10
