Perfection doesn't exist...though Minions come close.

The thing is ... I'm not perfect ... but I should be perfect for someone ... right?

A Baby...?

Some days, as I get closer and closer to becoming a 40 year old woman (ok, so I've got 4 years ... but they'll go by in the blink of an eye, just like the last 6 have done since becoming a 30 year old woman), I think that it's highly likely that the only way I will ever get to have a baby that shares my DNA, is if I were to try AI.

I seem to make men run in the opposite direction ... or do nothing more than become a friend. And I am forever wanting someone who never wants me back.

But I digress ... I have always always always always wanted to be a mother. And no, for anyone who might actually read this, I'm not against adoption. Adoption, however, takes money and I am afraid that I don't make a good enough wage to be granted the right to adopt (at least I'm pretty darn sure I don't). Not that I couldn't afford a kid, who knows if I could, but with what I make I am 99.9999999% sure no agency would say "yes."

Things that negate my thoughts that this would be a good idea:

1. Money. My current income barely supports me, how could it ever support me and a kid?
2. Living situation. Currently, I live in a one-bedroom apartment which could accommodate a crib, but once the kid was out of the crib I'd be S.O.L.
3. Day-care. Again I refer to my income to say that I could NEVER afford day-care ... hmmm, would my folks (at least Mom) retire to be Grandma-Day-Care? (I'm pretty sure that would be a YES, but I can't bank on it ...)
4. Christmas (and other holidays) and birthdays ... how on earth would I afford them?
5. Vacations to broaden my child's horizons - as my folks did for me when growing up ... how would I ever do that?
6. College ... oiy!
7. Siblings for this child?
8. Actually finding a life partner ... once you have a kid I imagine it would become even harder than it is right now.

And yet, with all of these "negatives", I still think I might want to do it...?!

London is so cool!

From my other home ... how cool is this footage?! Makes one feel rather small in the long life that is the history of the human race ... ! :)

World Penguin Day (was yesterday)

Life.

This is cool.

Totally Cliched Theatre Moments

I've actually experienced these:

1. "Is there a doctor in the house?" -- yes, it happened, I was in the audience when another member of the audience was having a problem, the lights came up on the house and someone shouted "is there a doctor in the house?" Thankfully there was, and the lady was fine.

Guys, Penguins have knees!
