Apparently my clock is ticking. Damn.

First:

There was an Angel promo last night? And I missed it? I watched Smallville, people! Just to see the promo! That wasn't there!

And Excuse me but:

LEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXX! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!

Okay then.

Will have to look into this promo stuff.



So I was on the train last night with two of my train buddies, older Greek women, Joanna is probably in her fifties and Sophia is probably in her sixties. Not old, just older. And Sophia's english isn't all that great.

But it's okay.

So Anway- last night i get on the 6:14 with my friends and when Spohia takes out her ticket I notice she has some pics of her granddaughters in her wallet. We get to talking about children and I was saying that I eventually wanted one and when Sophia asked, I just said, "No, I don't currently have a boyfriend".

Sophia asked how old I was. I told her I was 27.

Now, normally, saaaaaay every time, when I tell people I am 27 and don't have a boyfriend or husband or child I get a "You have plenty of time. Your young. People get married and have babies much later these days. Tons of time!"

Yeah. Not Sophia.

As I was half asleep, I don't remember exactly what she said, but the gist of it was "What are you waiting for! Time is running out! You can't just wait. You should have children soon, soon, soon! If you were in Greece you would have five boyfriends, at least!"

So now I am in a mild panic and fear my uterus is shriveling up into a small uninhabitable raisin. I don't like raisins.

Soothe me?

Trust me, you don't want to be one of those women who get married at 20 to the first guy who asked and subsequently pop out 3 children in three years only to find out that you made a mistake.

You have plenty of time. Those studies are wishy-washy anyway. Just another thing to freak women out. You, my dear, have many fabulous years ahead of you. And when Mr. Right comes along? You'll be a fully baked cookie. Mmmmm, cookies. :)

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

You are the best Sunny ever. And I do know that I have time to continue baking and I will find Mr. Right (the thought that if I was still with Stupid Ex we would probably me married and I might be bearing his demon spawn is the stuff of nightmares).

Thank you for the soothing. *hug*

[sunbrae.livejournal.com]

Hee! No demon spawn for my Chicken. ;) *hugs*

You've got plenty of time. Long story short: sperm damage due to medication, PCOS, difficulty ejaculating due to medication, waited until 40 to get pregnant. Result: 2 brilliant beautiful kids.

However, if you insist, I'm sure we can find a volunteer male for you.

I'll keep that in mind if I'm still empty in ten years.

And I do know that I have time, time, time, but sometimes it seems like it is going sooooo quickly.

Thank you for the reassurance!

[mishamcm.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

First of all, how can you not like raisins? They're delicious!

Secondly, if it's any consolation my family has pretty much determined that I will be an old maid for the rest of my life. I'm 26. So I too have shrivelling uterus concerns. You're not alone.

Just remember, you have a good 15 years left of babymaking time. Don't start your biological clock ticking just yet.

Raisins are good in 1) Bread pudding and 2) oatmeal.

That's it. I'm sorry, but they just don't do it for me. Ptooie.

But it's nice to know I'm not the only one who is getting the pressure. When I told my mom about the conversation, she jumped on the bandwagon, too. Two years ago I got a call from her because she was going through the Pottery Barn childrens catalog and was feeling the urge for grandkids. She asked me to "Get on that".

A little of it was joking, but a little wasn't.

*sigh*

Aww, don't worry, AC. You really do have plenty of time to have nice, fat babies.

And I hate when people say stuff like that. I lived this girl sophomore year who actually said something along the lines of, "You have to snag a good one now or else they'll all be gone!" We were *19*. Pfft. Silly people.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Nineteen? That's nuts, I tell ya.

I know I have time, but thanks for the soothing. People are indeed silly.

The AtS promo is posted here, if you still want to see it.

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You so rock. Something to download when I got home. Yay!

Shit, I'm twenty-seven too. I'm too commitment-phobic for babies or even a hamster, but I like this five-boyfriend-guarantee on the Greek Isles. Maybe we should book a cruise?

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Why am I not in Greece?

And I am right there with you on the commitment phobia. I can't even commit to a plant.

If it's any consolation, my family is always bugging me and Nauti about having kids (even though there's already 18 kids in the extended family under 16 -- and that's only in the tri-state area). They even offer us random sperm to get it to happen sooner. Gah!

And my best guy friend is Greek, and he's got the opposite situation. His mom doesn't think he should ever date or marry anyone, because he's her good little boy. He's 32! His mom is a sweetheart. She makes me spinach pie, after she's made me Swiffer her kitchen floor. ;D

[angelchicken.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, pie. And see. That's the thing about Greek men. They have Greek mothers. Every single Greek guy I have known has had the stereotypical Greek mom. Seriously.

And I think it is very considerate of your family to offer sperm (hopefully not sperm *from* the family). A bit odd, yes, but considerate. My mom isn't offering to find me any donors. How rude. Next time she says anything I will let he know that I have friends whose family offers them sperm. Yeah, Mom. How do you like them apples?

Awww, a bitty NautiLove. Though you really don't seem to need any more in the near future. 18. sheesh. Reunions must be . . . loud.
