Marriage: Update

A quick update on the whole marriage thing.
I have had some suitors, some haters (well not official haters, but people who laughed at me), and some people who thought I was super awesome for doing this (this might be untrue, but some responses were vague).

I had one person comment that my bed is not suitable. I, however, argue that my bed is very practical and economical when you live in a room that is 11 ft x 8 ft and has a 37" TV. Just in case, I have posted this picture, so others can come to their own conclusions (I do own sheets, but they have never been used).


With that all said, as of now I have two options. One option is 3,000 miles away. The other wishes to elope. I am taking my time to decide, because obviously this is a huge step for my life.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Maybe other challenges? Feel free to contact me like the others to say I am an idiot: alan.m.dickson@gmail.com.

Marriage: The Challenge

As of yesterday, the Pastor's Seven Day Sex Challenge is on. Today, I realized what my challenge would be, as his challenge was for married people and excluded myself.

My Challenge
To be married for seven days.

(sorry gay people around the world, I know you are fighting for your own marriages now, but this isn't to rub it in your face. This is an experiment to see what it is all about. Is it even worth fighting for? If I made any money from this I would donate to help you out, but sadly I don't.)


[Don't worry I clean up well.]

Married? Married? Married? Yeah, married. (oh Dong)

This could quite possibly be the hardest of my challenges. So crazy that it might not even happen. Anyway, here is my brainstorming for how it will get going, since I cannot just launch into this immediately:

I don't know if it should be an official on the books marriage. This would probably take a month or so to get the paper work and be more expensive when it comes to the ceremony.

Although the marriage will most likely be unofficial, there will still be a wedding ceremony. How grand it is will be determined on everything else.

There is only one small tiny bump after all this other stuff is sorted. That bump is that I cannot marry alone. Marriage is about two people.

The Request
I need a wife.

The Rules
My wife would have to live with me for seven days. This does not mean we have to have sex, because most married people do not. You do not have to cook for me. You do not have to sleep in my bed. You do have to come home every night. I have no clue what else happens in marriage but it will be pretty traditional. No cheating (if you cheat in a week of being married you are a very sad person).

Warning

I am not the best relationship man. I am probably one of the worst. I am extremely happy on my own. I do not need a lot of attention. In return this is generally how I treat other people.

With that said, if you are interested in being my wife e-mail me at alan.m.dickson@gmail.com and we can see if this can work. Or you can also e-mail me to tell me how stupid I am, but that is already a given.

P.S. Even though these challenges are created for seven days, that does not mean they cannot alter my life and become an ongoing part of it.
