h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is because my sister is getting married. Luckily, I don't have to be a bridesmaid or anything like that, but wedding planning really sucks! The actual wedding is on July 28th. Of course, there has been bridal showers and all that. I think that most families have only two, we have three, but here in 2008 there is no such thing as a regular family. In fact what would have been considered a regular family 40 years ago would probably be considered really bizarre now. Well, anyway, if you have been to a bridal shower, you probably know that they really aren't that exciting. All the gifts are home related, and have already been registered for by the bride. I usually think of bridal showers as really sexist, even though I'm not some wacko feminist or anything. Why, you may ask? They think that women actually find that interesting. Why can't they force the men to go too? There was some really good cupcakes there, though. Well, my little rant is over (for the moment), but I'm sure I will find more to complain about once I've worn uncomfortable clothes and had to talk to relatives that I'm sure that I am supposed to recognise but don't.
