Would this be weird? This would be weird.
I was posting an ad on craigslist to sell my bass guitar (the end of a beautiful, short lived era...) when I happened across this. Normally I skip over these things, but ...
It would be totally weird to finance a wedding by selling one's eggs. (Right? Right?!?) But how uncanny the description! The ads in the Berkeley rag are always looking for Asians!
Now a surrogate mother can get $25-30K - that's where the real money is.
INTELLIGENT EGG DONOR NEEDED - $10K+ for right match

Asian Bling
My hundreds of rabid readers have all asked me - what is Asian bling? Well, readers, it means that Matt's friend Jing offered to let me wear her wedding dress, which she designed herself and had made in Thailand out of the highest quality Thai silk, and had hand-beaded by the smallest of little brown fingers...
Indeed.
It's lovely, and it would have saved me, but it's not really my style... and I think my parents might object to the one-shoulder look. In a church. Just maybe.
PS Notice I'm standing next to a column.

exams
honestly, how's a girl supposed to plan a wedding when she is required by her program to read a hundred books by May? I mean, really.
My study buddy, Jamie, has apparently already started having panic attacks. Um, was I supposed to be reading over the break? I'm sorry, I was trying on crazy Asian-bling wedding dresses and finding Italian photographers. Should I have written that paper for my incomplete? I'm sorry, I was looking at stationery at the Crane store and, incidentally, playing Burnout Revenge on Matt's friend's Xbox. As Matt and the game can attest, I acheived a "Maniac" rating and my best scores come from "Traffic Attack," in which one attempts to use one's racecar as a battering ram against the regular "innocent" traffic flow in any number of CGI-rendered global cities.
More points if you can get them to crash into that oncoming semi.
What's that you say? The wedding is more than a year away, and exams are scheduled-ish for May? Pish posh. Details.
