contrary girls who have nothing to post about

[same_sky]

Where's a good meme when you need one? I don't have much in terms of content right at the moment. This evening, we've mainly just been eating dinner and getting stuff ready for the weekend, and the workday was pretty unremarkable. I was temporarily in mood to do something worthless and time-consuming, like go through and mark entries as friends-only, and fix all broken links, etc. That plan was stymied by the realization that part of that plan was to move my gallery elsewhere, and also, dude. That's a lot of work! And I am having a bad hair day.

I've been thinking about something that I do sometimes, and I don't really understand why I do it. I will sometmes jump to the defense of a thing that I don't even agree with. Like, last night. I was telling him about something I had read on a message board about healthy people using fertility drugs illegally to increase their chances of twins, and this one particular person who started the thread had succeeded with this (during the course of the thread) on the first attempt, and come to find out, she was carrying triplets. I don't really want to get into my opinions about the situation, but when I was telling him about it, I prefaced the whole story by saying that I didn't know if it was real or not because it seemed quite a bit.. well. There were elements of fake-ness about the whole thing. So at the end of the explanation, M agrees that it was probably fake, and what do I do? I begin listing reasons why it could be real. I don't care in the slightest if it is or isn't real. I just need to take up for the underdog, apparently. I do that quite often.. defend something just because no one else is defending it. I suppose that makes me contrary. M would definitely agree. ;)

I am really not in the mood for a conclusion. Pretend.

I have been told on a number of occassions by different people over the years that I'm quite contrary. It was once put like this: "You just say 'no' because you can!"

Well, duh! ;-)

Why in the hell would anyone set out to have twins on purpose? Just thinking of taking care of one baby makes my head spin. Though, at least if you just wanted two kids you'd have it over and done with in one pregnancy--probably a really hard pregnancy.

My boss has a set of twins, and he said that it was the best thing that could happen to you and he wouldn't wish it on anyone. I thought that was probably a good way to look at it. I think the people on this message board were caught up in the cuteness of two small people of the same size. I think twins would be fun, but I wouldn't dream of doing what they're doing simply for the sake of having a high-risk pregnancy. But I guess that's just me.
