now that you mention it, it DOES sound kinda familiar... does he LOOK like a rhodri? babies sort of all look alike to me, to be honest.

okay, i see your point. i guess starting a family is something that depends a lot on both individuals' level of maturity, and yeah, job security is a big thing, too. family (or a lack thereof) seems to be the one constant in just about everybody's lives around here, but i've been back-trawling through various comm members' posts, and i don't see that very many of us have actually DISCUSSED our families, you know? at least, not like normal people do. when the five questions meme made the rounds again, i totally blanked on what to ask, so i just threw 'do you have any kids' out there to lorne. but once i thought about it, i was kind of shocked to realize how little i know about the people i 'talk' to every day.
maybe i'm just having an online crisis or something. i'm sure it will pass.
but yeah, i think i know you pretty well, all things considered. i just feel like i don't do anything on LJ except rattle on about superficial stuff, and that's not what i signed up to do in the first place. i think i try so hard NOT to be nosy, that i've just ended up going too far in the wrong direction. i can still be nosy with you, right?
i want to feel more CONNECTED, dammit. my dad always lectured me not to waste time building up relationships that i couldn't afford to lose on short notice, but ever since i left home, i've worked hard to make a career out of doing the opposite of everything he ever told me. i guess i was just a little shocked when i looked up and caught myself drifting into those same old habits again. or something. does that make sense? you can tell me if i'm starting to sound crazy, i won't mind.
