Jan. 14th, 2014 12:00 pm- Why "Stop taking photos and enjoy the view" is wrong
To be fair, I do try and avoid doing too much 'must capture it all' on events I'm going to, gigs, or whatever. But there's a joy in sharing the random weird stuff I find in London, or the fucked up stuff we come up with in our games of Cards Against Humanity, or just grabbing a few cool moments from a fun night out to remind yourself of it months or years later.

An interesting question; I can certainly see the very strong arguments for keeping your name, but I can also see those for wanting to share a name as part of the togetherness of marriage. The problem is that patriarchal culture means everyone expects it to be the man's name. Of course, in that case you can double-barrel, or you could even come up with an entirely new name (though few would, I think)
