In my dream I sat down to talk to the father. I didn't want to tell him because I was worried about how he would react - a moment like this can really define a person. But I told him and he reacted by breaking out into tears. The father of my baby, in my dream, is the man I am currently sleeping with in real life. In real life he once loved a woman who accedently became pregnant, and she had an abortion because she wasn't able to handle a baby at that point in her life. Although he acts like he's okay with it, and it was the right thing to do, I know how much it hurts him that they had to do what they did. He says he hates babies, but I know that he has the date of potential birth memorized and thinks about what his child would be like today, if they had gone ahead and had it. He wished for a girl, and he still cries over the loss of a baby he never actually had. In my dream he cried because he assumed that I would have an abortion, and he wasn't sure how he would suffer that loss again. I told hiim the truth. I told him that I wanted to have the baby, but I was worried about money, since I barely make enough to support myself. I don't know how, but we figured it out. We figured out a way to manage money so that we could have this baby. And I felt happy. I felt really happy to be having this child. I'm not stupid. I know that if this really happened, I would have to have an abortion because I really CAN'T support two people, and it doesn't matter how wonderful it might seem to have a child (and the idea appeals to me so much, lately), I would never be able to do it. It was a nice dream. it made me feel good. I feel good about the fact that when I think about having a baby, it's really only money I worry about. I am no longer convinced that I will destroy a child the way my mother tried to destroy me, and that's what makes me feel so good. I'm not so bad. |
not so bad at all! |
and now I do. |
once, years ago, i had an amazing dream about moving to new york city and i went into this garden theater and it smelled so sweet. mmm... i still remember the smell. i moved to new york, but it doesn't like that garden theater |

when are you getting married, tigster? i starting charting my temperature a couple weeks ago. i want nieces and nephews. dave wants kids. i just can't see it happening. if only there was a way to skip parenthood and still get to be a grandparent! |
you find ways. trust your instincts. sometimes, some of us perform better under pressure. |

i know so many people who got married the 2nd weekend of October. i have three friends just here in ausin who got married on october 10th or 11th. also, lots of babies around that time too. |

My mom had to have induced labour because of previous spine problems, so she essentially got to pick my birthday. They said the ideal date would be April 1st. She said "There is NO WAY I'm having my kid born on April Fools day!" She just sat there reading a magazine until midnight struck, then told them to go ahead and give her the needle. |
|
my sister doesn't want to be pregnant in the summer months either because maternity shorts are just so hideous. |
the majority of my nuclear and extended family was born in the cusp of a month -- between the 22nd and the 27th. i can't think of anyone born in october though. |
my brother and exboyfriend were born in october. they have the same birthday |
if it'stoo hot for pants, skirts are so much nicer. |
|
|
|
|
so mini skirts are also an abomination? |
|
shorts should be banned for anyone over the age of 7 i say this on a monthly basis "anything that is comfortable" is not an acceptable way to make clothing choices for public consumption |
|
However, I do own two pairs of shorts. If I ever find exercise pants that don't piss me off, I will stop wearing shorts altogether. |
my gf has some short shorts with really cute things on the ass. Granted they never see the light of day but they are fucking hot. shes not a hater. why you guys gotta be haters.... and silly and inconsistant. you're allowed to be, but im allowed to call you on it too. |
there are many things that i don't need/want to see. leave a little mystery, please. |
it has nothing to do with length. it has to do with the wedge of material that shorts have and skirts do not. they are two separate and different types of clothing. it's like comparing apples with some kind of fruit that is stupid and doesn't look good on anyone. (the only thing worse than shorts, however, are skorts and i have absolutely no problem with shooting people who wear them, on sight and without warning. people wearing shorts can have a ten food running headstart...or at least enough time to explain why they are wearing shorts.) weather is no excuse either. in some of the hottest places in the world, you won't see any residents wearing shorts. "Granted they never see the light of day" I wonder why.... |
so its about that wedge of clothing that seperates a skirt from a pair of shorts? yes. inconsistant. all of youse see what you're missing? http://66.34.10.12/lj/stainless_steel_providers_2/amber_side_227.jpg and yes, N stopped wearing her hotpants in public because it made me nervous. |
|
here's my thought on the issue: shorts when useful = ok shorts when not useful = not ok but if you want to wear shorts, wear shorts. if i must have something between my legs, i prefer to cover my knees. that's all. if i DO want to show off my underwear, wearing a skirt makes it that much easier. but for years i didn't wear skirts much either. my senior year of high school i refused to wear t-shirts to school, my younger sister later said people gossiped about that one. utilikilts are sexy. |
|
one of my teammates had a baby in mid-september, it didn't seem to be so hard for her. she even danced at the chunkathlon when she was nearly a week overdue. |
Although I did go to high school with a girl who was fond of skirts, but not fond of underwear, something the boys all appreciated. |
Wearing less cover when it's hot and sunny out is just asking for a sunburn, anyway. Light wrap skirts are the only way to go. Kilts, motherfuckers. Sweet kilts for all. "it's like comparing apples with some kind of fruit that is stupid and doesn't look good on anyone. " ^made me LOL |
|
i am SO VERY SERIOUS regular clothes don't really cut it age spots? there are no age spots- they are uv damage and there's lots more right under the surface of your skin. even causes lots of eye damage. so. shorts are bad for your health, much like going outside, but you have to go outside. they don't even have their own name, shorts is just "short" for short pants, what a stupid name. don't do it! |
NOT OKAY... http://tinyurl.com/bjrt9 http://tinyurl.com/998ar http://tinyurl.com/akxlc http://www.americanapparelstore.com/w301.html OKAY... http://tinyurl.com/agnzs http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=207951 http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=257412 Also: skorts- BOOOOOO! |
|
Or maybe I should get my pants hemmed. I hate it when stuff brushes my bare legs. I've been in hot, humid climates wearing pants. Not a big deal if you wear natural fibers that breathe and wick. Also: babies- BOOOOOO! |
And I agree, when I'm in the tropics and other hot places, I wear long linen or cotton pants, because I don't like getting bitten/scratched/whatever on my lily-white bare legs. |

uh, i've known lots of pregnant women who cared how they looked all through their pregnancy, except maybe when they were on the way to the hospital to give birth. but i hate shorts too. i loathe them. i've hated them for as long as i can remember. even work-out clothes... for yoga or the gym i still wear slightly loose ankle or calf length cotton/blend gear, all summer long, even in 100+ degree heat. and yes! it's that fabric between your thighs! even skinny thighs like i used to have, it doesn't matter, it just feels wrong. the only shorts i wear is actually part of one bikini i have - my surfing bikini. that's not true. i wore shorts 2 times while on vacation in yosemite last september. i didn't like it, but i needed pockets, and it was too warm for pants. and you can't go backpacking in the mountains in skirts. and there is no just-right length for shorts. except maybe 5 inches from the inseam, but higher than 5 inches from the knee. so yeah, see what i mean? that's just a fucked up dilemma right there. boys can wear shorts, as long as they are knee-length. skirts are nicer and easier. i love skirts. i'd wear a too-short skirt any day, but never too-short shorts. and skorts are from the south, ya know, and are therefore retarded. skorts are basically the same reason why maternity shorts are so hideous. not much difference. capris look like normal pants on me too. i loved when capris were the rage, i bought lots of them and no hemming required! |
i buy all my non-work pants (jeans) in the mens department. finally! a 34" inseam is a good length, but 36" are too long, which is heaven for somebody who grew up with highwaters. which i would roll the cuffs so they'd look like it was on purpose. capris. |
skirts, shorts have no flattering angles, even long shorts. and that wedge of fabric makes all the difference. crotch bunching. even without crotch bunching, it still looks wrong. there are no inconsistencies there. capris are cute as long as they are straight cut or don't otherwise taper. i had a pairof man-pris once from old navy, they had huge pockets and were as close to shorts as i'll ever get. i'm not pregnant. way to rub it in Karla. |
|
you baby people. don't you read the paper? watch the evening news? |
to eat some of them |
|
|
there are more important things for non-pregnant women to worry about that fashion. |
|
the people who have made this world what it is today at one time were children. i'm sure their parents thought the same way. i'm not nihilistic, i just don't ascribe to the ego-centric view that the human species is somehow so amazing or so important as to be worth preserving. |
suck. i'm not trying to get pregnant and not really as baby crazy as i sometimes sound. |
god damn " (i'm) not really as baby crazy as i sometimes sound." yeah right. |
|
oh i know. d keeps saying he wants 4 kids. he's only half joking. if we were 10 years younger, he'd be totally serious. don't mind me. i'm just bored today - very rare occassion. waiting for a sys admin to get something done so i can continue on my project. it's either this or write some stupid documentation that nobody will ever read. |
i'm actually more interested in being around other people's children these days so henry can have someone to play with. |
|
|
|
I'm child free and intend to stay that way. I need wisper over here to help me hold up my end. Also, just for the record, not a fan of speedo swim trunks. |
and right, it was dodi. karla sounds like dodi. |

"Babies are the greatest gift that George Bush can give to us! ;P Today i went to the store and i saw a baby and it was so pretty babies are made of magic and honeydew and if you don't think that then you are SICK!!!!! SICK!!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL MEAN AND I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW!!" It would be like that but, you know, less coherent. Plus, their IP addresses are on different sides of the country, and i don't think Dildo could mask her IP let alone know what that means. Karla is good stuff....so far. ANYHOO I can't hold up much for you, platy. It's 69 days till the operation and i'm having a hard time giving a shit about this stuff any more. I'm all calm blue ocean. I don't have to care anymore. Statistics keep showing us that intelligent and educated people keep having fewer children, while idiots, assholes and jesus freaks have more and more. My kids aren't going to be stuck in that world horror show, thank god. Come on in, the water's fine. Every baby could be MLKjr, and every baby could end up spending it's adult years chopping up hookers because satan told him to. But most of them will end up doing very little for or to anyone, and just plod around miserable until the weekend comes like the rest of us apes. Birth rates are dropping like it's hot. That makes me happy. *I* am your best hope for the future. I think shorts, skorts, capris and pregnant women are all hideous looking. ESPECIALLY capris. Since 1999.

1. Rush Limbaugh 2. George Bush 3. Pauly Shore 4. Michael Jackson 5. Osama Bin Laden 6. Donald Trump 7. Ann Coulter 8. Tony Robbins 9. Robert Mugabe 10. Kim Jong Il Anyone care to add any nominees? |
want to admit it or not |
Pauly Shore is important. We need harmless but annoying people to mock and shame. Swap in Bill O'Reilly. Or Cheney. Not a bad list. |
it might actually be legal to eat babies, or at least a fetus. like maybe in the first trimester. i think that if there are places where you can abort them and/or use them as stem cells, they should also be considered edible. someone should test this theory. |
|
|
everyone is a freak in their own special way, just be glad that no one cares enough to follow you around and tell people about it, i sure am. |
babies that MJ is tossing off his balcony, but you have to watch out, because he'll drop red spiders that you have to tip out of your basket. I like the idea of cradleboards - makes babies way more managable. |
