Lessons learned today

One: When you are eating mac and cheese raw because you don't want to take the time to cook it- you're hungry.

Two: When you look at the clock and see that it's 12:21, and you still have to take a shower, and you've been awake since five, and you still plan on setting your alarm for 3:00 am, just so you can talk to your boyfriend before he goes into work- you're in love.


Okay, so I already knew the latter. He and I have decided that we're going at our speed, and our speed is a good speed for us- and we brought in a married couple who knows both of us to be our accountability partners and keep us in check.

We're looking at marriage. We're SERIOUSLY looking at marriage. In fact, it's more of an, we're going to get married- it's just not official yet.

If he breaks up with me, I'm never going to get over it. Same goes for him if I break up with him.

It's a good thing that's not going to happen. This relationship? It's a forever thing. And I rather like that.

Roman Polanski, a fugitive and a child rapist, is currently in custody in Switzerland. Hopefully he'll be extradited to America to finally be brought to justice for the heinous crime he committed.

I continue to be shocked by how many people are actually arguing against this, which is why I've linked to the above article, which sums up my feelings. I don't care what happened in the guy's life before he raped a child. I don't care that he couldn't come back to big bad America because he might go to prison for decades.

He raped a thirteen-year-old girl. You don't get to go live the high life in Europe for thirty years after you do that. You go to jail, and you go to jail for much longer than 40-something days.

And there are people defending him. Not just a small group of lunatics, either (are you surprised that a contributor to the Huffington Post is one of them?) but people from all over the world. It's just mind boggling.

If you don't like America, its foreign policy, its legal system, or anything else about it, fine. That's up to you. But Roman Polanski is a rapist. Are there people really suggesting that because America is flawed, Roman Polanski should face no true punishment for what he did?

Ugh. I sure hope he gets extradited. Way to go, Switzerland. It took a while, but finally one of his little hideaway countries decided to do the right thing. And you know what? I don't care if they're doing it for the wrong reasons. I don't care if America stuck its nose into their foreign policy or whatever the hell else people are implying with zero evidence.

Roman Polanski is a child rapist, and he deserves to be in jail.
