A lot of things have been getting on my nerves lately. The 39C heat. The temptation to dig into ice-cream every day in the 39C heat. The lack of willpower to resist that tub of Sara Lee in the 39C heat. Unnecessary pages. Unnecessary pages from people who speak very... very... sloooow...leee... More unnecessary pages in the midst of waiting for previous pager to finish... their... sentences... and getstraighttothefuckingpoint.
But one thing that frustrates me most is this: Why do marriages have to involve so much paperwork? Why does there have to be witnesses to a Registration of Marriage, which basically involves just signing your names on a piece of paper and pledging that you'll love each other eternally and take care of each other forever (which both of you are already sickeningly aware of anyway)? And if there needs to be witnesses, are you expected to put on a happy clappy smiley face while you sign your life away? Damnit what if I don't feel like smiling on that day? Does that mean I'm not happy? Damnit what if I don't want any witnesses to my Registration of Marriage? Does that mean I don't love him? Damnit what if the marriage (in lawful terms) breaks down in 10 years' time? Does that mean that the witnesses were deluded by our protrayal of love?
