Ok, so I had another idea (or rant) to jot down as a part of this idea for a story I have swimming in my head. Once again, written in the shower. (I need a separate post to explain my affinity towards creative ideas that tend to happen in the shower)...anyhow here's another moment from my future novel!
"And so it seemed to me that everyone seemed to be getting married but me. And if they're not getting hitched, they're becoming engaged, living together, or parents. And then there's me, NO husband, NO boyfriend, NO baby, and not even the slightest idea as to when this is suppose to happen. My mother said to me the other day, "you know, you're not letting me die in peace." As I glanced at her with a look that can only be described as a cross between confusion and being mortified (at what she was going to say next) she says " I want to see you happy, with your own family, and it's just not happening." As if that wasn't bad enough, it gets followed up by an email from my brother about online dating sites and his future birthday gifts to me. My brother, my older brother who never even so much as talked to me about dating is GIVING ME tips! Is the world conspiring against me to return me to my days of awkward teenage girl writing bad poetry trolling AOL chat rooms? I look to heavens wondering if God was still listening, and I think to myself, something has really got to give. Having a "Carrie" moment, I couldn't help but wonder, "always the bridesmaid, and never the bride" or "always the godmother, and never the mother" and I suddenly started to wonder is it to late to become a nun?"
