This.
A thousand times this. Except my SO is a guy, so I wouldn’t marry him. I wouldn’t marry a female SO either, if I had one but I don’t but I could if I wanted to. Except I don’t

I’m alone atm. Don’t think I’m ever going to get married. Just moving in with a girl seems bad enough.

Ouch! Way to pour salt in my wound. What with that and all the wallowing, it’s _never_ going to heal.

I’m not getting married, not getting divorced and not getting pregnant!
I’m very excited and proud.

I’d like to be the first person to note that I’m not graduating anything.

See, you and I have opposite problems. I’d like to _be_ married, but the idea of getting married thrills me as much as the idea of having a lot of painful dental surgery. I like the idea of having someone around all the time, but not the whole planning/paying for/going through with a ceremony part.

Good, with no pressing commitments, we’re all available to get together to figure out the mystery of cattle mutes.
Meeting at 9pm, **Surly Chick** ’s house. She’s giving out free gifts too.

Does that mean I have to vacuum? Because that’s going to put a crimp in my wallowing. One of the benefits of aloneness is not having to clean as often as I should.
And. There. Are. No. Gifts.

Whoa, whoa, wait. You’re a guy?
Now I’m not getting married, divorced, a pet, or a house AND I can’t get Doper genders right.

I’m not getting married. Not having any kids either. Hopefully that’ll change soon.
And all the "i’m not getting married _cuz I already AM!! HAHAHA!!"_ people can totally bite me. You’re not funny.

Not particularly interested in getting married because of that whole 24/7 thing; I’ve gotten used to being able to wallow in solitude (except for the cats, who have outgrown the cute kitten stage). I get together with a friend once in a while, and she occasionally rides me about trying to meet more people but so far I haven’t had much luck with that.

No wedding, no SO, no baby. I’ve never been to Disneyland. I’ve never been to Spain.
But I’ve been to Oklahoma.

They tell me I was born there.
But I really don’t remember.

I am. Not in THIS thread, maybe, but I am funny. 🙂
And not just looking, either.

I dunno… looking at the source of that page, there’s a frameset with an interior page that contains javascript and a tracking reference from Google Analytics. And it was made with Microsoft Front Page 4.0. That’s awfully complicated for a blank page.
