Okay, awesome! I have no idea how many other tiny Star-Lords there may be since the movies are pretty popular right now, but I’ll probably be one of the few (if not the only) with a floor-length, bright red leather coat. Hope I see you there!

NO FREAKING WAY 😀 That’s awesome! I’m gonna be there all three days if I can swing it (I mean, I’m flying thousands of miles to be there, I may as well). And I’ll be rocking a red leather trench coat as Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy.

^^ thank you. I needed to hear this. I also sort of didn’t realize I actually posted that last night in an apparent fit of frustration. (I write a lot of stuff that never makes it to “post”). Oops.

But…yeah. You’re right. I know a lot of people younger than me who got married years ago and are already in the middle of messy divorces, with children involved, and it’s very sad. I know that if I’d gotten married when they did, or even three years ago, I would be miserable.

The funny thing is, I’ve never really…pursued dating? When it happened, it just happened. I always brushed off the “so when are you going to get yourself a husband?” questions like they were so much sofa lint. I assumed I’d grow up, get married, etc, because that was part of the Plan For My Life, but it was never a strong desire. “I’ll take one career please, oh and I guess a side order of spouse”.

Now, I feel like…I really wish I could find a life partner. Which feels really selfish to me, since financially and physically, I’m in a bad place and not likely to get any better. But darnit, I want what I want.

YEP. It does help to have someone else there.
There really are about 4 or 5 things I live off and I tend to forget that the store sells things on the top shelves and therefore there are actually other options. I tend to zoom through the store and grab what I always grab and get the hell outta (literal, in the case of some people’s shopping cart driving skills) Dodge.

Except, when I can’t find That One Brand I Always Buy, I stand there frozen in a Not Found error until someone reminds me that I can actually choose one of the other 10 differently packaged versions of the same thing.
