procrastination and the institution of marriage

Well the writing group i'm in has grown a bit. It makes me actually a little more inclined to take time to write. I've gotten so lost in reading that my writing has taken the backseat to it. I got a writing assignment of sorts which will make it so much easier to focus. With everything thats going on its nice to have a little bit of structure in my life.

Haha well to be honest I am reading another book right now. My friend Libby borrowed it to me and I am reading it right away. So Paint It Black is on hold for the moment. Anyways, the book is Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. So amazing. It is totally a Vanessa read. Reminds me of David Sedaris. It has the same clever wit. Hilarious and completetly on point. I'm almost done with it.

I made some iced coffee at home. It's pretty good. Not quite as good as coffee shop kind, but it will do. I am all out of creamer though:( Darn it.

Ok this is a little strange but last night I could not stop thinking about marriage and the patriarcy of it all. I mean don't get me wrong marriage can be wonderful and fulfilling, but I can't help thinking about the crazies that issue such insanity upon women. Like, for example, the people whom say that women can not be raped if they are married. WTF. I just can not even fathom how insane some of these people are, and worse, that some of patriarcy's biggest advocates are women. Figure that one out. It just really upsets me sometimes to think that in some marriages women are raped and abused and they will not or do not feel like they can stop it. I think thta marriage as an instituion is flawed. I am only getting married to someone that respects me as an equal. Which is what marriage should be like.

Wow, thats it for today
