Weddings, arrghh!

I hate weddings. Unless you are someone who might worth something in my life and feels my presence will bless your wedding (which I don't understand how); don't even think that I will be there. In courtesy basis, based on your historic behavioral records, I might make an appearance, but fifteen minutes top before I get sniped from the smug married. The smug who? The Smug married!

The smug married are the ones who have been married pretty recently and with no progeny. They think they are better than everyone else there. They love listening to relationship problems faced by you. They find it amusing; therefore they make good listeners and would give well thought feedback and advice. Not! Their diagnosis for everything is something is wrong with you. You come alone, something is wrong with you. You come with someone different every time, something is wrong with you. If you don't come at all, what the hell is wrong with you?

With enough training, you can skim through the battle zone and escape death. One clue: they always wear matching colors. If you managed to escape, bravo; but be wary. Scavenging the scenes are the Singletons. These are god's complex creatures. They even evolved into two different sub species. Subspecies A are the crusaders of eternal love. They are usually well-groomed, over-zealous and constantly trying to establish their existence in the world. The subspecies is predominantly male. The rare females do pops in once in a while. In this event, the rarely seen violent mating ritual takes place. Its madness, parental guidance suggested. On the other hand, subspecies B are the more peaceful bunch. They are the self-proclaimed non-believers, lurking quietly at failures of past loves. Their creed is career. More of a pathetic excuse than creed I would say. Insecurity and loneliness is what both have in common. Both deal with loneliness in different ways. The former would just date or have relationship with anyone they meet while the latter drown themselves in their career.

But there is one creature you should fear the most. The Comrade-X. You should tremble in fear, even with the sound of their whispers and the sight of their shadows. They are also known as "The Punishers". They are bleak, depressing and sadistic. They are your ex's friend. Predominantly female, the rest is self-explanatory.

Who am I? Beats me.
