Everybody has a secret shame. Mine (or the one I'll admit here) is that I read People's website. Because it's a shame, in more ways than one, I'm not going to link to it here - I don't want anyone else to get hooked. Not that I'm hooked, exactly, but I do check it a few times a week. Or once a day. Sometimes twice. Whatever.
Which is how I found out that Nicole Richie - who weighs as much as I did in the fourth grade - is pregnant. Four months. With the child of some guy she's been dating since, oh, January. She's also facing jail time for a DUI charge.
Intellectually, I understand that people don't have children because they deserve them - that system, though it has its attractions, would only end up in a serious mess. How could someone who preaches grace be so cruel as to say that someone does not deserve her child?
But in what twisted world does Nicole Richie get pregnant when I - and thousands of other fertility-impaired women - can't?
You know, some days I have quite thoughtful responses to things. But today, at the end of a long day, in the midst of month 23 of trying to get pregnant, all I can muster up is this. Fuck it.
Not as Digital as I Thought

More cows - I think this may have cured me of my People addiction. Glad to know I'm not the only one thrown into momentary despair by the ridiculous fertility of Hollywood.
