Can’t rain on my parade!
There have been several detractors about my recent engagement to Becca and I would first like to say that I plan to address all the legitimate concerns here. But I would like to reiterate that defamation is not allowed in the commentary on my blog. So please, let’s act maturely here. If we don’t act with maturity and honesty, than what do we have really?
You cannot be in love in a week - You’d actually be surprised what happens in the span of a week. And plus, she’s a wonderful person. Initially, the proposal was a joke to see if she was getting my messages. But as soon as I found out that she’d actually accept, I decided to ask for real. It’s about the fact that we are going to continue to be madly in love and doing cute stuff with each other when we are older. I don’t follow the status quo for a reason. The status quo is wrong and unethical and I want to be in a loving, agape relationship with Becca.
You are a pedophile! - I am going to explain a situation for you, m’kay? There was a friend of mine that was dating a girl. When he turned 18, she was still 17. For a few more months, she’d still be 17 and he wanted to see her badly. They continued to date covertly but a week before her 18th birthday, her asshole parents found out that she was still dating him and called the police. He got 3 years for statutory. And the sick thing was he was affected by a law that was designed to protect children from MUCH older adults. This is not the same situation. Furthermore, in the UK, 16 is the legal age of consent. Furthermore, I initially thought that she was 18. I found out the truth and I started to freak. But I did the research and it’s perfectly legal (see the Sexual Offences Act of 2003).
Proposing by e-mail/IM is not romantic - *sarcasm* No shit? I didn’t know that. Wow, I thought it was the most romantic thing in the world. Okay, enough sarcasm. I know full well that proposing by e-mail is not really romantic. That’s why I am going to redo the proposal in front of her. With an engagement ring. And I am going to make sure that it’s really romantic. But of course, I have to go with her to get the ring so she can find one that she likes and we can do this the right way. Plus, it’s not about the ring. It’s about the fact that we love each other so much that we chose to make a strong commitment to one another.
She doesn’t know what love is - Um, okay - you’ve got to be fucking kidding me. She knows what love is and if I did not honestly believe that, I would not want to go through with this engagement until I was absolutely sure that she knew what she was agreeing to. To say that she doesn’t know what love is would be like saying that children do not know what work is. But I know for a fact that in certain parts of every country, whether rural or urban - there are children doing what they can to save up for something they really want. Plus, need I remind you of the European Industrial Revolution? Don’t judge someone’s knowledge based on age. What you are doing is called ageism. It is a form of discrimination.
She’s only 16 - And I’m 19. There’s only a 3 year difference. Our birthdays are not too far apart either so it will generally stay that way. It’s not like I am dating a 14 year old, or a 10 year old. It is legally allowed and plus, I have taken an oath of celibacy to remain celibate until marriage. Therefore, we’d really be doing nothing illegal.
You’re too young to be getting married! - For the moment, she is. But let me ask you - what are you basing this on? On the current statistics of marriage in countries such as the United States? Allow me to remind you of the divorce rate in the United States. Marriage is flawed in developed nations like the United States and even to the point where the divorce rate is very, very high. So if you want to lecture me on relationships, try looking inward first.

It would help if she existed.
March 23rd, 2007 at 4:03 pm
You know, you can question her existance all you want but that does not change the very real fact that she does, in fact, exist.
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:25 pm
MZ, I agree with you
Check out the blog commentaries
The writing style is awfully similar!
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:35 pm
You know, Question - you seem to like flaming all over this site. I must request that you stop posting comments on this blog.
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:49 pm
this has to be fake
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:55 pm
I assure you, it is real.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:29 pm
I’m so happy people are beginning to see through you, Kyle. This will, perhaps, teach you not to lie about things. We’ve caught you before and it’s affected nothing, but I always have high hopes for you.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:33 pm
kyle, wtf? are you retarded?
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:35 pm
Trish, I am not retarded. I must request that you stop flaming me on my blog.
And mz, I have not lied once on this blog.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:39 pm
i’m not flaming, it was a genuine inquiry. you’ve gone from being christian to a buddhist, you hate america, you are engaged to some underaged girl you never met, you want me to remember the industrail revolution, you are going all over the place announcing your engagement on messageboards you’ve never posted on before…. excuse me for being suspicious of the authenticity of this hilarious blog.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:48 pm
You may question it all you want but it all weaves a story that you’ll have to stick around for to see.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:49 pm
that about answers my question. hello viral marketer.
March 23rd, 2007 at 6:51 pm
I’m not a viral marketer. I am just saying that like life, it’s not a complete story - yet. After all, this is a personal blog.
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:00 pm
Trish, I think I love you.
My AIM is “pkmnmst2″.
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Yes MZ, we have seen through him.
That happened long ago.
March 23rd, 2007 at 7:46 pm
Question, from your previous comments under the names Lo and Jesus Lives, you do not attempt to see anything. Instead, you have a case of ostrich syndrome. You dig your head in the dirt and refuse to accept reality.
March 23rd, 2007 at 8:01 pm
I am not Lo
Nice try though Kyle.
You of all people should know that if you are able to track my address like you claim!
March 23rd, 2007 at 8:12 pm
You are right. I forgot, Lo is actually Dusten.
March 23rd, 2007 at 8:37 pm
Forgot?
No Kyle, you lied.
I thought that you were married already?
March 23rd, 2007 at 9:57 pm
I don’t lie.
March 24th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
LOL
Just end your life already you fucking pylon! HAHAHHA
March 24th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
I cannot agree with that trust, we are all valued.
I do honestly feel you need some help though Kyle!
March 24th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Funny, Question, the first non-defaming comment on my blog by you. This may very well turn to be a vast improvement for you.
March 25th, 2007 at 5:43 am
Fucking lame you have nothing to say to my comment so instead you delete it. :/
You are a pitiful man.
March 25th, 2007 at 7:59 am
Kyle,
You honestly do need to get some help
You can reply to me however you wish, which this time, was with a facetious comment
The first step would be to start being honest with yourself and those around you
Many have tried to offer help to you all over the internet and I am sure in person as well.
Instead of listening, you stick to your falsity, possibly fearful of what will come out if you are honest.
I know I don’t understand what goes on in your head
But I do feel very sorry for you
March 25th, 2007 at 9:40 am
Rule 8127 of personal blogging: Don’t get into shouting matches with people you can’t stand. Just nuke the comment, block the user or ignore it and move on.
March 26th, 2007 at 11:42 pm
Wouldn’t it help if you two met first. Someone can be very different on the internet that they are in real life. All is this is nice and like a story book romance, but real life is not about that. 16 is too young to be talking marriage and especially with someone you have not met face to face. My comment is not meant to be little either of you.
