Marriage is the joining of two or more persons into a single family unit. Any person of significant age should be allowed join into a family with another whether the other person be the same or opposite sex or gender, different ethnicity or any other distinguishing feature past, present, or future. Marriage is a bond between people for purposes of mating or companionship. It should only be entered into by people who agree that they are better suited as a single family than as individuals. Marriage should be considered and treated as a sacred union, but it should not be confused as anything divine in nature. I don’t recall ever having heard of a marriage having anything to do with the divine or even religion for that matter. I think the misconception probably began because people wanted their union to be blessed and presided over by a priest or some other respected religious figure. Let’s try to remember that marriage of some sort happens in all cultures and countries regardless of religion. In the US alone there are a lot of people who are married by a judge or some other legal authority. Marriage can be seen as sacred and may even be done in a place of worship by a priest or other clergy but this does not mean it is always so. Don’t confuse something that can be done at a church with something that is a strictly religious ceremony like Catholic Communion. Marriage is for anyone and indeed doesn’t really even require a ceremony at all. The ceremony and attached paperwork is merely a very public way of expressing that such a union exists. Many animals mate for life but do not practice any sort of marriage ceremony. This is because people are capable of companionship and unions which have more meaning and depth than merely creating an institution out of mating instincts. You should take heed of this and give thought to your marriage prospects. Don’t let marriage become just legalized mating rights, and make sure that others do the same. This also means letting those desirous of being in such a union be able to legally proclaim themselves family. Get married because you desire to be with someone as a family, not because you feel obligated to.

I do my best to keep working and bringing in money. Right now, it’s not working as well as I’d like or as well as I need, but I keep pushing on. Why do I do it? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is that I want a place of my own again.
I am incredibly grateful to have a roof over my head, but I really don’t much care for living with other people. There are a lot of benefits to having your own place. Here are some of the reasons I keep working and hoping for a place of my own (in no particular order).

• I can decorate however I want
• I can put things wherever I want them
• I can leave stuff laying about, and no one’s going to get on my case about forgetting it
• I can turn the music/TV up as loud as I want
• I can watch whatever I want without getting permission
• I can have sex in the living room (or anywhere else I want)
• I don’t have to hear other people having sex in the next room
• I can walk around naked if it tickles my fancy
• I can set the heat/air to the temp I like, not what someone else wants
• I can have a cat if I want one, or even a dog
• I can have the computers in another room, instead of in the bedroom
• I can have space, instead of my whole life in one room
• I can say when people do and do not get to come over
• I can do what I want and not have other people getting in my business
• I tell someone to get out if they’re being an idiot
• I can have a garden (maybe)
• I can have peace and quiet if I want it

There are tons of reasons I want to get enough money to move into a new place. I don’t care if it’s a nice house or a little single-wide in the boonies, as long as it’s mine. I really want that. It’s one of the reasons I keep doing what I do. I keep praying that something will come along that will enable me to have a place, pay all my bills, and have a better life. Hopefully that time will come soon. I’m going to keep working for it.

Yup, I recently read an article about a 22-year-old who is selling her virginity to pay off college debt. 10,000+ bids and a high bid of $3.7 Million according to the article. If I had known it could be that profitable, I might have saved mine! It’s amazing the things people can get paid for, and how much.

Makes me wonder if there’s anything I could start a bidding war over. Virginity’s out of the question, paying for sex is illegal, so what can a law-abiding gal offer up that would be worth something? I need money to pay off my debt and get a stable place to live, so what have I got that someone would pay for?

I thought about selling my eggs, since I have no damn use for them, but apparently, if you don’t have kids, you’re not allowed. Stupid in my opinion. There’s got to be a way to know the eggs are viable. At any rate, that’s out. Too bad too, I hear it pays well.
I can’t stand needles, so giving blood is out.
I like my organs where they are, so I guess that’s off the list too.

Of course, the things listed above aren’t something people bid on, it’s just flat money. Not that I’d complain. So what can I do or offer that people might bid for? And where exactly does one offer something like that? I’m not paying FeeBay, that’s for sure. There’s gotta be something. I’ve tried everything else I can think of. Maybe I’ve gotta get some ideas that are further outside the box. Got any? I’m willing to hear suggestions.
