to ponder

5 awesome things about being hitched:
1. My social status just went through the roof by permanently attaching myself to someone so freakishly awesome.
2. I get to kick it with my favorite friend every day.
3. I can ignore teachers who call on me as Ms. Gurr and pretend they must be talking to someone else because that's definitely not me.
4. We don't have to go home after we hang out.
5. Our baby will no longer be a bastard.
