More complaining about wedding stuff? You bet. So our moms on both sides are kind of doing the same thing; namely, griping about family and family friends we haven't invited. When we picked the venue based on the number of people we had at the time. *fumes* I don't even.

Both of them are trying the whole guilt trip thing (but I've known them since __ or they always attended your ___!) , and no one seems to understand that they can only help plan so much--when it comes down to brass tacks, STEP OFF. You have already been married--chill out. We don't keep in contact with these people, we don't remember 'em, and we're not inviting them. I have a number of out-of-town people I can't invite due to space constraints too, so there.

I'm just waiting for the eye-rolling to happen in October. Tim Burton-y decor, video-game reception, no white in sight, no wedding attendants, and all the "when are you going to have a baby" questions. Which will only get an entirely truthful "pregnancy is one of my greatest fears - so never" Every time someone asks about our choices for stuff, no one really knows how to respond. Yes, it's different, stop trying to make us feel like absolute freaks.

HURRRRRGGGGHHHH *hulks out, breaks shit*

And I had to be at a bridesmaid fitting, bridal shower, and bachelorhood party recently. I love my old roomie, but god...all that pretentious stuff is for the birds. The fitting went fast (being as I'm fairly easy to please), but the shower was awkward as fuck. My old college roomie is white, and her groom is black, so as soon as I show up and sit on her side of the table, all I keep getting is "oh are you the groom's sister?" "are you related to the groom?" "why are you not sitting with the groom's side?" "are you the groom's cousin?" NO I'M A BLACK PERSON THAT HAPPENS TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE BRIDE, FUCKING GODDAMMIT OLD WHITE PEOPLE, WE AREN'T RELATED BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH BLACK, IS THAT SO WEIRD?!

FUCK.

Well, at least my own wedding shit is still fairly low-key and under the radar so as not to upset a bunch of out-of-towners that I was unavailable to invite. I don't like upsetting anyone...but space restraints and all.

In other news....like I said last time, I ought to get back onto AIM and reconnect with folks. Still some people out there worth talking to. If you still like the occasional chat on AIM (or Skype or whatever people use now), and feel like saying hello, hit me up.
