Okay I love this! It pretty much sums up how I feel about having children. I find myself defending my choice to never have children so much right now. One of my girlfriends is engaged, one is hoping for a ring soon and a few others are living with their boys, so they're getting... domestic. *shudders* Last night I found myself having to defend my choice yet again to two of the aformentioned girls.

Don't get me wrong. I generally like kids. I just want to play with them and give them back after, like, ten minutes. I just don't want them. And please don't tell me that I'm too young to know and I'll want them later or that you felt the same way and now look! You just LOVE kids and want six. Good for you. I'm happy that having children makes people feel a fufillment they can't imagine living without.

But seriously, I just want to be the cool rockstar aunt. I'll take the kids cool places, fill them with junk, act like a kid with them, have fun and then send them back saying "Aunt Justine is the best! I want to go live with her!" (That is the true measure of a kid's love, if they want to live with you forever. I'm serious. My cousins want to live with me.)

Whew, that was a kickass episode of CSI on Thursday night. Called "Assume Nothing", the season opener was exactly what everyone needed after a long three months of CSI withdrawl. Except for William Peterson's beard. That cracked me up for the first seven minutes, especially since my friend Lyle said it reminded him of Al Borland's from Home Improvement. Heehee! That still gets me. But the episode was soooooo good. And to be continued! I almost freaked out. I can't wait for Thursday.
