Seventy years from now you'll all be telling your great-grandkids how Aunt Tracy paved the way for old maids everywhere. Well, ok. You can say me, and "Samantha" from "Sex and the City".
I believe I've finally come to terms with the fact that I will probably never get married. That's fine. I decided that I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life than spend it having to listen to a husband's droning on and on about himself and/or the state of the world (I chuckle as I write this in my OWN blog) with his inadequate vocabulary and his pseudointellectual, Ethan-Hawke-in-"Before Sunrise" kind of way. No, really. I consider myself pretty difficult to entertain, and think it is my duty to the world not to subject it to the often cruel, torturous treatment to which I see it subjecting others as well as, occasionally, myself. Either I shall remain here, content with my spinsterhood, or I'll turn into one of those people whose mini-biographies ended up on "Amazing Stories", where I convince myself that my husband is a creation out of an Aaron Sorkin work. There are worse things.
Speaking of "worse things", I think I'm going to take some of my well-earned new money, and piss some people off. Maybe I'll make some politically motivated bumper stickers, or just bumper stickers that are completely incoherent, and people (ESPECIALLY here in LA) will think it's some "inside" thing that they need to be a part of. I realize now that's how George Clooney is always so nice to people. I've read about his legendary practical jokes, and realize now that practical jokes are just a way of being mean to people without the label of being "mean". He already has an outlet for his anger or frustration, so he doesn't have to do it by being rude or by casting downward glances at the hoi poloi as so many in Hollywood do. I pretty much think the invention of bell-bottoms and coulottes were a practical joke, and look at the result.
Which leads me to: Does intent REALLY matter? I personally, don't think so, but Connie would disagree. Alright. I'm doing a poll. What do YOU think? Please make sure your arguement is coherent, and you use facts to back up your opinion.
