Yup - same here about everyone getting married when you're 23. Spent this entire summer attending (4) various weddings. So, according to national averages, the divorces should start kickin' in at about 10 years from now with half of my friends. I guess I'll just enjoy the happiness while it lasts.

seriously. i feel like everyone our age is married, has kids, or is married with kids. kids, not babies. kids meaning they had babies when they were much younger.

and ugly engagement sites because they're too excited. but mostly because weddings are expensive so they can't afford a web designer?

i'd probably blog about my engagement, but i can't see a website for it, other than like having a guestbook and wishlist thing - what's it called when it's for a wedding? i'll do yours though :) !

oh, i just remember that i actually saw a nice one. the bride was a graphic designer. the groom was a programmer. her name started with an E and his with a M i think. they had this really nice logo where the letters intertwined. i wish i remembered what the url was.

Okay, but are you a geek or a dork?

note to self: keep women+me away from beach

J.D. - I am 73 % Nerd, 69% Geek, 39% Dork

"A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning you the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd."

"Nerds didn't use to be cool, but in the 90's that all changed. It used to be that, if you were a computer expert, you had to wear plaid or a pocket protector or suspenders or something that announced to the world that you couldn't quite fit in. Not anymore. Now, the intelligent and geeky have eked out for themselves a modicum of respect at the very least, and 'geek is chic.' The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). They are the one you want as your lifeline in Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (or the one up there, winning the million bucks)!"

dictionary.com says a dork is "a dull stupid fatuous person." harsh!

I got your nerdscore beat

Hey Stacy~

I'm getting married in March '06. I am 27. This is my first (AND ONLY) marriage. Don't rush into marriage- you're right- get married when YOU'RE ready!
Steven and I got engaged on March 5, 2005 and are planning our wedding for 53 weeks later. Since our engagement, I know at least 5 couples who have gotten engaged... and all 5 will be married before we are (and most have been dating less time than us).
Anyway, just wanted to throw my three cents out there!

l8r,

stef
