1826: What's Your Sign?

[Blitzgal]

Women in WI aren't pretending about football. I'm considered a freak here because I'm not into it.
I like to mess with my female co-workers by referencing people like the Refrigerator Perry and Dan Marino (who I only know because of the movie Ace Ventura).

It's going to be what I want to eventually but having to look through so many people to find someone who is able to understand and provide what I'm looking for is tough. I'm not doing a whole bunch of traditional parts of the ceremony and reception so explaining my reasons over and over again gets frustrating too.
I know this probably doesn't matter to most everybody but I wanted a chance to clarify and express how over the moon I am to have found somebody as wonderful as I have. He is a complete partner for me and I am blissed out at the thought of having the rest of my life with him. I am excited to get married to him even if the planning process can be frustrating.

Don't worry Vi, SOME of us have enough mental firepower that we understood you the first time, and anyone who didn't, and who perhaps WILDLY exaggerated and distorted your point on a podcast, are just terrible at being your friend.

If you don't want some dopey kindergarten game-level tradition at your adult-level wedding then fuck that dopey kindergarten game-level tradition. It's LITERALLY your day. Make it as YOU as you want and those who really love you will love your day.

Including your husband. If he really loves you he'll stay out of it.

LOVING the Jesse Ventura impression, well done !

When I was in design school we had to do fund raising . I set up a table near the lockers, read palms for hours, made over 200$ and heard this over and over all day "OmG, she's so good, she got me DEAD ON...it's spooky, you have to go!"

I do NOT read palms, I read people. I complimented everyone with stereotyped characteristics... The jock guy "wasn't ready to settle down and he might be rethinking his relationship as we speak" The pretty girl "Was considering a career in acting but just had to get through her Psyche classes because she was worried about what her parents might think" The fat chick "He's thinking about you, you just need to be at the right place at the right time...you know , like that house party next week" . Everyone was going to have kids - 1-2, everyone had a complicated love life but, around 30 fell for the one, everyone had lost someone they loved, would struggle with an illness...

it's easy to dupe people if they are willing to believe.

Your music taste being stuck in 1987 cause you to forget we live in the future now? It's almost as if even though you only got married a couple months ago you already forgot about planning a wedding. Everyone's, and I mean LITERALLY EVERYONE'S, wedding has its own website now where they can write whatever the fuck information they want.

Not everything has to be a socially pressured to-do buddy. You get to be an adult remember? You taught us that.

I am also a Virgo, like Beyonce. ALL MY VIRGO LADIES! (all my Virgo ladies)

So help her. Where does she write it on the website? And what does she do when her funny friend does it anyway?

"Look, it's complicated, but her wedding will be perfect."

That's a common trait with most astrological signs. Your sign must be Feces.
