WTF

WTF.
WTF.

I may have to go look over at childfree more often - holy moley, over 2100 members - but the range is incredible.

Of course, once they find out I'm working to have a family, I'll be toast juice. And STOOPID. And a moo. And worse. (I'm with mactavish on this one - while you can have some intelligent conversations over there, the place is loaded with folks who just plain hate. And not much more.)

*sighs* And I just spent 33 hours in classes to prepare me to be ready to be "challenged" by the needs of any adoptive child. (That's thinly disguised code for "they may hate you and never accept you EVAH.")

On the bio front - the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor (accept no substitutes!) has failed to tell me my peak fertile periods YET, after peeing on sticks for a month and a half. But the literature says I might be taking the tests wrong. Or the machine is still "learning" me.

It does see when changes happen - just not when NOW FUCK YOUR BRAINS OUT is supposed to happen. And I had to push the appointment with Dr. Whiz-Bang ahead...again.

I spent my dreamtime last night searching for people. In places I used to live that now had other people living in them. Alone. Nobody I knew. Anywhere.

But the house in Ontario had been repainted with black walls and BSOD blue ceilings and accents. Silver stripes. White fake-fur couches.

August is over.

It'll be five years in eighteen days that Cliff passed away.

I have no interest in having kids, but I also don't have any interest in hanging out, in real life or online, and talking with people who aren't interested in having kids. I'd rather talk about...I dunno. Our interests. What we DO want to do in life, not what we've already written off as not our bag.

Does that make sense? I mean, I do understand that a lot of people (probably women more than men) are under pressure to procreate and to "justify" their lives if they're not procreating, but I think hanging out in a community seething about it would feel counterproductive for me.

Anyway...I think you should get busy getting...busy!

YES

I totally agree with you there in the first paragraph. I really don't understand the desire some people have to dwell on things they DON'T want to do, rather than talking about the things they DO want to do. But then, I've never quite understood the concept of having "venting" communities on LJ-- isn't that what people's personal LJs are for?
