Lately I've been pretty lazy about posting and I think that needs to change. Nothing's worse (okay there are a lot of things that are worse..) than a blog that hasn't been updated in like a month. So in order to remedy this problem I've challenged myself to write for the next seven days. I don't have anything in particular to write about, but I think that's okay. This is my blog and if I want to write about nothing I can do that. I even think it might be better. Before I thought I had to have an idea or a theme or an event to write about, those are good ideas, but let's face it - life in Monahans can be pretty boring and if I just wait for something to happen to be able to post then I'll end up with a pretty sparse blog. So here we go, day one...Last night I was talking to my friend Garrett about my blog and he suggested that I put questions up for my readers to answer. I told him I thought that was lame because no one will answer them and then I'll just feel dumb. But, I don't really have any better ideas... so I'm going to not only steal his idea, but also his question. Which profession could you never marry? He said he couldn't marry a mortician. I get that it's kinda weird but it's definitely not a deal breaker. Sure, it's not the most glamorous job, but there's good job security. People always die. I had two answers - I could never marry a mime, and I could never marry a poet. I know that if I married a mime he would probably wash his makeup off and talk while we are at home, but it's still a creepy job. What's even the point of mimes? And poets! First of all, he'd be really emotional and sensitive. Not a bad thing, but I get creeped out by gushy stuff and he'd probably want to write me poems all the time and I don't know how to respond to that. What if I don't like it? What if I don't understand his analogy? I'm supposed to just pretend like it's beautiful even though I have no idea what he's talking about. I can't deal with that.
So now that I've answered this is the place in my entry where I ask you to answer the question and no one but Garrett responds... What profession could you never marry?
I couldn't marry someone who is really good at arguing against me, whatever profession that maybe...
or a pornstar, I couldn't marry one of those either (I had some help thinking of that one)
I think it's funny you're post inherently denies Garrett commenting.
But I like your challenge! And questions. Even if they were bootlegged
Poet is REALLY good. That's how I felt when ex boyfriends would read me their lyrics of poems, most of which were bad.
I couldn't marry someone with an intense business job, like, richard gere from pretty woman. He was the most immediate example of a business man i could think of. But they would have too much money, and too much career. No bueno.
oh syd. you are like a falling swan on the white winter's crest.
i could not marry a WNBA player.. because really, women's basketball is just awful. just awful.
i'm not sure i could marry a gynocologist...obvious reasons.
