The irony is that my parents have always discouraged me from getting married until I was at least 30. These stupid rules are an incentive to get married.

Crazy crazy! Actually, Dragonblink’s idea was a pretty good one. I have my own apartment - which is why I’m so used to my freedoms and all. The problem is that I had to have surgery on both feet this summer. I was kinda stuck at home. In the past 3 months, Paul and I have had a total of 1 hour alone together. He’s got a full-time job and works a lot of over-time… and we live an hour apart (hence all the sleeping over). I’m just gonna go nuts if I can’t have some alone time soon!!!
