zana16Well, called up a few old highschool friends. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
firefly37 proceeded to tell me all about her boyfriend, who sounds like an asshole (though this could be just because they've hit a rough patch--but she's never been good at finding guys who treat her decently, so I'm dubious) and asked me what to do! And I'm like, wait a minute, I haven't seen you or talked to you in two years, I don't know this guy, I barely know the situation; how can I tell you what to do? It's your life! So, that was slightly surreal, but it'll be good to see her again. She recounted all the gossip about people I will probably never see again, and never particularly cared about--who's pregnant, who's married, who's on their fourth engagement, which stuck-up Xian (who shunned me in HS because I *gasp* had premarital sex and didn't see anything wrong with it) is now sleeping around and not intelligent enough to use birth control.... My goal in life is to get out of Texas. All else is secondary. These are intelligent and talented girls whose lives are going to a waste because they figured only breaking the sex-before-marriage taboo would be better than breaking that and the birth-control taboo.
My grandmother looked at me last night and said, "When I was your age, I was married and had a baby." She wants me to bring home a nice young man. I wouldn't mind bringing home a nice young man; I just need to find one where the attraction is mutual. Which ain't happened yet.
