i've gotten 2 marriage inquiries from two people who have been in my life. my answers to both were, "we would have to live in separate houses next door to each other." even though we were currently living together at the times of the discussions.

it makes me wonder, do i really want an unorthodox married living arrangement that accommodates my need for space, or was it just that i wasn't really into getting that close to these guys, so i analyzed that the best arrangement that would allow a marriage the best chance of positive outcome was if we lived in separate houses?

last week i met an engineer. i was in a really good mood and he was asking about my blog as i was writing, so i started telling him stories about my life. it turned into a 4 hour conversation and was really pleasant. jeff from north carolina. i liked that he acknowledged that i'm very creative, but i'm also very analytical and think like an engineer. i think i'm strong thinking both analytically and existential-conceptually.

therefore, everyone should do as i say. if i'm wrong, we can discuss or amend, but i'm not usually wrong.
