Lying in bed last night, something that I thought of writing before returned to me........ yay!!!!
With the upcoming election (it's tomorrow guys!!) we've been having a number of discussions in my house about alsorts of things. There has been the whole who are you going to vote for and why (Labour 50% Lib Dem 50%) which did surprise me. Especially when MrG said that he still trusted Tony Blair. A man that has been shown to have lied to his cabinet, parliament and to us. I mean, I know that we are in a very safe Labour seat (a 30% majority) but to therefore say that there isn't any point to vote anyother way, isn't the point.
But this isn't what I'm supposed to be talking about, no, not at all!!!!
What I am infact supposed to be commenting on was a conversation that we had a couple of weeks ago when Kat was most surprised when L.snip said that he had no intention of ever getting married. Ever. Which she didn't seem to understand. Both the fact that he could say 100% certain that it wouldn't happen (much to the annoyance of his girlfriend) and the fact that he doesn't want to get married in the first place.
I think the main thrust of his argument was that marriage was more like a security blanket for those that needed some sort of reassurance that they were going to stay together. Afterall, is there anything in the Bible that suggests marriage as we see it today??? Personally, I think that it's your own choice. I also think that she will wear him down in the end, though it's going to take a few years!!! And I'm not going to gaurentee it. If she hasn't succeded in the next, oh, five years, it's not going to happen!!!!
As for the other part, knowing 100% if something is or isn't going to happen. While I reconise that theoretically speaking anything can happen, there are some things that I think you can say will or won't happen. I know that I've made statments in the past where I've gone "this isn't going to happen" and that's the way they've gone. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that because I've said this I've then simply stuck to what I said, but there we go!!!
Of course, L.snip's aversion to marriage is one thing, really it's him who know's if he'll ever change his mind or not. If he thinks he won't, well, that's up to him!! Personally I'd quite like to get married, have kids, etc, etc....... thing is I don't think that I will. Will I say that I'm 100% sure about this...??? No, cause I know that life doesn't work like that, but cause I know me and how I think and act I know that it's going to take someone very special to be able to put up with me for the sort of time that marriages demand. Especially when you consider that with longer lifespans we'd be talking 50odd years (assuming getting married at the average age of 28years), which is a long time to put up with me!!! I know, I do a managable job at winding the friends I've got now up!!! (it's cause I love you guys, honest!!!!!)
****** update on madcap plan ******
now, if I told you, both you and I know that you'd almost certainly disaprove, but if I tell you it'd probably (if I manage it) happen in a months or so time. However, at this time I'm no longer sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I can but plan and see if it comes off.
