OMG! MISS ME? Good cause I'm a gunna complain more!

So, placement has been hectic. Working has been hectic. Family has been hectic. 3 things on the go has been hectic... then to top it all off my "permanent" retainer popped out; aka not so permanent!!! So I had an "emergency" (3 day wait) orthodontic appointment for them to stick it back on.... and now the bonding feels weird and I feel like I have a lisp. (no one else seems to think so!)
Oh, wait there is more- i have an eye infection; very likely from my eyeliner-- darn wearing make up to placement would kick me in the butt... thats what you get for making yourself look good!

Oh, and I want to complain more.... EVERYONE IS FREAKING ENGAGED... and I'm sick of it. makes me want to punch a "soft" kitty! Ok so here is the deal, my boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years (well almost); and now I am in a program full of engaged people. My old room mate has been with her fiance for 2 years; my best friend, is engaged (and I was actually very excited for her- genuinely); my other friend I was genuinely excited for when she was engaged because she is a good couple friend of ours, but now my boyfriends bother, who is dating someone who is a bit like a friend but not of mine got engaged- they were introduced to each other; by us at my birthday 2 years ago. See a pattern? I'm not trying to be bitchy... i'm just being realistic. first of all, after 2 years YOU ARE NOT READY TO GET MARRIED; not in our society where getting a divorce is cheaper then getting married and has less social stigma too! Not in our society where by a house means your rich (think Rich locations).
Yes, I am ready for that next step- ish. I'm still in school. Is there a point for me to be engaged right now? Excitement, happiness yet; Purposeful? no. I want it yes (so i am slightly jealous); so it makes me FREAKING MAD at those younger then me or my age getting engaged (OR MARRIED).
I'm just sick of it.. within the next 3 years i have more weddings to go to then i will be able to afford.

AND, can I just say, my bf's family considers me family. MARRIAGE does not mean family. Love and caring, and attention means family. Time together means family. Family means family. NOT MARRIAGE.

Ps. Just finished watching shrek the halls
