wouldn't most of those things imply that one is closer to 'adulthood', and thus that they would marry sooner rather than later? what a strange survey...

Interesting read.

In unrelated news: I saw Opal on the news today. Man, that girl gets around.

You're right Tom, the Marriage survey is flawed. I've been messaging people on myspace who fill it out and saying the same thing. Meh, what do you expect from the 14 year olds who create these things?

So everyone, Cheryl's back on the old myspace hey? I like her cover, well played.

Yes, Tom is correct,

Oh, I got it. It merely struck me as uproariously funny. Possibly I'm alone in this reaction.
