Tell me this isn't cool! : While I was at the neighbors having dinner, H left a voice mail from Boston saying he got me an autograph from the lead singer of Keane! Sweet! Not sure how he managed to swing that one. Don't really care. The real question is, why is he there about to see them play live and I'm in front of the computer. Hmph.


Actually I am a military brat, which I'm sure has something to do with my impatience and difficulty making long-term relationships work (I basically had none outside my immediate family growing up).
Interesting. OM was a military brat too. Small world.
My education is definitely an anomaly in my family. Good for you then.
he intentionally moved us out to live 1 hour away from school, and refused to let me get a drivers license, thus effectively shutting me off from any real friendship. He refused to let me go to prom, saying it was "a bunch of drunk teenagers getting drunker." Oddly enough he used to get drunk on occasion. He used to beat the absolute crap out of me That is horrible. Another reason I really have no tolerance for religious extremists/fundamentalists, well, if I'm completely honest, I feel organized religion in general is all about control and very little about spirituality, doing the "right" thing, being a "good" person. The hypocrisy makes me ill. Don't want to go off on that tangent though.
No wonder you went on to become a scientist. All makes sense.
Well like Ludacris says, men want a "lady on the street but a freak in the bed." Tee-Hee. Back to the Madonna/Whore complex again. OM used to make comments to me about this. He liked that I looked sexy but more of the "girl next door" sexy and not trashy sexy. His favorite was when I would come over straight from work in my "proper, businesslike" attire and he would, well, you know the rest. That was hot. The dichotomy again. Proper to the outside world but totally uninhibited in the bedroom. Who wouldn't love that. It's never as good if you just have the "slutty" or just the "proper" (at least not to a HD).
It is amazing to see a bunch of old church ladies sitting around basically calling a young girl a slut if she is pregnant out of wedlock. So much for "love your neighbor", eh?
 Great example of the growing secularization of the church. Moving away from spirituality and towards the "Church" as a source os social control and one big gossip fest. Talk about needing to GAL. In a small town like yours it must be 100 times worse too.
Warning: This is a hot button topic for me. You don't see the steam shooting out my ears right now but trust me, it's there. Glad to hear you are a scientist and not a Christian fundamentalist. The whole evolution/creationism debate you mentioned would probably send me off the deep end. I can respect people that have faith but not when they totally ignore scientific reasoning. Ok, I'm off on the tangent again.
I could not live in a place where everyone hated me, and I don't think the W wants to move. That sucks. I don't think I could live around that environment. Let's hope they don't find out. I think that would stress me out just thinking of the possibility. Sorry.
