Eternal happiness
when it comes to being 25 and owning a Facebook account, there is an almost absolute guarantee you will encounter entries of engagements, marriages, and the obligatory baby photos of your peers. for the last few months it became very apparent that a chunk of the cool kids are now well on their way to the eternal happiness of betrothal. seeing how the year 2012 is the year of the dragon, a huge wave of my peers find themselves registering for marriages in what appears to be in hopes of getting knocked up in the next few months and pushing out dragon babies. for some reason it is good (i mean it in an arbitrary sense) to have your kids born in the year of the dragon. well if i had dragons for kids, a la Daenerys Targaryen, i'd kind of flip out, but the symbolism of kids being born in the year of the dragon isn't any different than having your kids being an aquarius, or an opiuchus. from how i view it, it's just a group of people following trends. it's like how one kid decides to buy from Gap, and then the others decided they want to buy from Gap as well when every other brand asides from Gap also have their clothing made in the same child labour factories somewhere in Indo-China.
