Here's What I've Been Thinking About Today

How do psycho people get sane people to marry them? I mean, for real. For the past couple weeks, I've been fascinated with Heather Mills and the insane lengths she is going to to basically smear Paul McCartney's name all over the press. And she's just talking nonsense half the time, like "I have tapes" and "I can't say anything because of this court order," like if exposing him to the world was sooooo important to you you would just come out and spill it already, but no, we all know you are just in it for the money. Whatevs.

But anyways, this has made me think about the nature of relationships in general, like how does someone who seems completely normal and sane like Paul McCartney end up marrying a fruit loop like Heather Mills? (And yes, I understand that I don't actually know these people and am just judging them based on things I have seen on TV. Maybe Paul McCartney is a complete freak who secretly is into furries, but I'm just assuming he's not. Assume with me, won't you?) I can even understand how you (you are sane and normal in this hypothetical) might start going out with a psycho and they seem nice for awhile and you like them, and then you start to learn things about them and you're like, all righty then, time for me to get on up out of here. But how do you end up dating a psycho for a long period of time, marry them, have children with them, and then all of the sudden realize they have been psycho all along? OR, do people really turn psycho over night??? I hesitate to believe this, because I am an advocate for that old cliche that people really don't ever change.

I realize this entry is really vague and I wish I could be more eloquent about my feelings on this subject, but this has seriously been bugging me. I have been in situations where I thought I have known someone and then one day sort of "woken up" and figured out that that person was completely different than I thought they were. But this has almost always been in situations where I haven't known that person for very long, and haven't had a really deep relationship with them. And I don't mean like when you find out your best friend is secretly into porn or anything like that, I mean like you find out someone you thought was fundamentally a good and sane person turns out to be a raging beeyotch who will go on TV and imply that you like to molest small children and stuff.

God, this entry sucks. Sorry. I don't even know where I'm going with it at all. I really just wanted to share the deep feelings I am having about Heather Mills. It sounds so ridiculous to say, but I honestly feel like if I ever get married I will always be waiting for my husband to just suddenly turn nutso. THIS IS WHAT AMERICA'S DECLINE IN FAMILY VALUES HAS DONE TO ME.
