Ha! The dress. I honestly don't feel much one way or another about the ex. Well, I suppose not the dress, either--but at the time it would have been a thrill.

I've never heard a happy marriage story.
But living the bachelor life forever would probably decrease your life by a few years.

Mine is good, or as good as it can be for a noncommittal independent little minx like myself. We've been together for—fuck—12 years this December, married for 4. We were once drunk, punk and in love. Got married for practical tax/legal reasons and to get me health insurance. I'm admittedly crazy and he puts up with me. He's the one who told me to quit the jobs I hated so I could do what I love. He works 40 hours, then goes to class 5 nights a week so my lazy ass can sit here in pyjamas and write. We love the same shit, I've finally made him both a football (soccer) fan and a Whovian. He got me into Iron Maiden. He'd let me leave him for David Tennant, no questions asked.
And naturally, because I'm a Holly Golightly little bitch, I nonetheless feel "caged".
First husband? Got married to him because a) I'd never done it before and b) he was a rock star. We ruined each other. He cheated constantly, once with a girl in Hole while he was on tour. It would actually make a really good book, come to think of it.
Maybe marriage is a trial and error sort of thing.
That is exactly what it is. First one's free.

Avery- this is why I have a Breakfast at Tiffany's quote on my arm. Every boyfriend I have ever had has been subjected to the film (and my synopsis of the novel, in which Holly remains alone). Incidentally our wedding rings came from Tiffany and until we went broke every year my birthday present did, too.
To this day I'm disappointed for giving my cats names, but I just really love naming shit.
Renee- as Paul Varjak would say, it's a cage I've built myself.

The pup could write when we adopted her. Who knew! She's from Mississippi. She's named after the little girl ninja in Final Fantasy 7 and has in fact become a little ninja. She sneak attacks the big dogs by hiding under furniture, then pops out and jumps to grab them by their ears. She also loves to steal "materia". Se is most likely a German shepherd Chihuahua mix. Go figure. Momma was a chihuahua-dachshund named Annabel Chong.*
