'Burb for kid-free diarists born With three or four journal 'burbs devoted to parents, perhaps one for diarist who are Childless by Choice is long overdue. California journaler and recent newlywed Jennifer "Jenipurr" Crawford has created a place for escribitionlists who "respect the choice of those who have decided to have children [and] ... expect the same respect from those with children for our decision to remain child free." Jennifer and her husband Richard, as well as Kriselda Jarnsaxa, are the inaugural members of Childless by Choice. The site provides rules for joining (revolving mostly around the absence of children young, grown or adopted), as well as a number of links to other childfree resources. Journalers tie the knot Seattle diarist Jan Bednarczuk and her "handsome hunky boy" Keith tied the knot over the weekend in Las Vegas. They met six years ago in a college computer lab, Bednarczuk recalls in her Aug. 21 entry. She found out she was pregnant this summer, and Keith proposed soon after. "He promised me that everything would be all right, and it has been," she writes. "Keith has not yet broken a promise to me." Also recently wed were California journalers Jennifer and Richard Crawford. "Everything clicked and came together, like a new sound card fitting perfectly into a slot on a motherboard, or a protein binding with the right enzyme, or a picture puzzle piece which fits so perfectly with the mate that you can't even see the seam," Richard wrote in a "Letter to Jennifer" last May. In their respective journals, the pair recounted their big day, which Jennifer said was wonderful but "somewhat of a blur." Richard, meanwhile, compared married life to the 'Planet of the Apes': "Being married is kind of like that... only without the nuclear holocaust and the enslavement of humanity." |
