So I'm a facebooker. I totally got into a psuedo facebook fight yesterday....or at least I thought. I posted an informational link and one of my "friends" (I use that term lightly when referring to facebook) got all angry and posted a crappy comment back. So I'm like, yeah, you wanna fight...I'll fight. So I post a biting, yet informational comment back. Then she posts again. And I'm like, what...I can't believe you had the nerve to... Well of course I was going to post again and it went on like that - just the two of us posting and me enraged. Until I read a final post that was very charming and apologetic. So I posted back a smiley face. Haha. I can laugh about it now...but my Grandpa always used to say (according to my mom because I never actually got to meet him) that, "There are two things you don't talk about; politics and religion." Which is true in the case for most people...
Not for my good friend Stewart though. Him and I have always been able to have very stimulating conversation about both subjects...even though we don't have the same beliefs.
So it's my 4-year anniversary this coming weekend. Seems crazy. By the way, when you've been with someone for 4 years, I think you're allowed to want to celebrate it. I always feel awkward saying that it's our 4-year anniversary and that we just want some time to ourselves. Especially to his sister-in-law and mother. His sister-in-law thinks that unless you're married you're not really entitled to those kinds of things. I don't understand it myself. I think it might have more to do with religion? I remember when we were over at their place around the holidays and she had a cute holiday picture greeting from a friend. She proceeded to tell me that she thought it was ridiculous that they sent out holiday greetings like that with their photo because what if they broke up. I don't agree with that...when you have someone in your life to the point where you're ready to move-in together (no matter how long you've been dating) I think you're definitely allowed to send photo cards for the holidays :) In my opinion, that was the important person in their life at the time - whether they get married or not - living with someone is a big committment; one that will not be forgotten if it didn't work out in the end. The overall moral of the story is: to each their own, whatever that may be. Carpe Diem. Seize the day. As lame as you think it may sound - you only live once. Why waste it worrying about what everyone else thinks? If you want to send a holiday photo - SEND IT! :)
