some unsolicited advice

if you ever find yourself wondering why your friends don't like(/approve of/think you're meant to be with) your significant other, think hard about what they know about him.

Their reactions, concern and disapproval are your own thoughts reflected back at you. Whether or not they've met the guy, YOU are the primary source of information regarding him as a boyfriend/husband/etc. So the question is not: "Why don't my friends like him?", but "Why am I with a guy I don't like?"

~*~*~*

Incidentally, the answer covered over by multiple rationalizations is that you decided Mr. "Good Enough" would do for now. Which is too bad, because Mr. Great's probably out there somewhere, steering clear of attached girls.

~*~*~*

And yes, my friends think Patrick is an oh-so-wonderful husband.

hm. i think cremation would be the best option. i wouldn't want to put him in strange soil, as i took him to my apartment after break. do i just wrap him in the towels and soak it in lighter fluid, then light it?

i cried.

yes. the temperatures generated really aren't going to do much, so just reminisce or look pensive as the fire flares up and after you've released a good deal of smoke and/or the fire dies out, dump the remains in the toilet, and flush. Oh, and don't look.

losing a pet is always a sad thing.
