I want to get married.

I don't, really, but since a number of my friends in law school are married (and most recently) they seem to talk about marriages a lot. And I feel like I cannot converse properly with them because of this. Not that they are exclusionary about it, but I can only discuss wedding cakes, dresses and place settings for so long before I lose interest or I run out of things to say. I mean, it is a place setting. It can't be that hard to pick one, right? (apparently the answer is wrong, since this was much debated at lunch last week.) I love my friends, but it is weird being the only VERY single person in my close group o'friends at law school.

Which leads me to the second phenomina. All of my married, or soon to be married friends, seem to think that I really need to be dating someone. This phenomina, which I thought was relegated solely to my friends here, seems to be spreading. My friends at home apparently had a chat about my single status. They are apparently worried about this. My friends here keep trying to prod me to date some of my single classmates. I don't know if my college friends are worried as well, but since they don't get together as often, I can only hope that this was not a topic of discussion. I really didn't think my singledom was all that bad, but apparently it is. And here I was looking forward to allllll those cats in my future...
