Odd wheel out
You know what really makes me love this time of year? Being a 3rd, 5th or 7th wheel to any couple. This weekend really made me solidify a move in my mind because what kind of SANE person puts herself in a place where she is surrounded by ONLY that? Really. All of my "friends" here (which, mind you are now going to be referred to as "acquaintances") are in relationships. And honestly? I can only handle so much hand holding and kissing that isn't on my end. Which is none, in case you were interested.
Oh, you weren't? My apologies.
It really is just the fact (and I've discussed this in GREAT lengths with Allison who actually got me thinking on this one. So I can't take full credit for the original idea because it isn't) that I know that I'm alone. Really. It doesn't matter if the couple isn't even sitting together or touching the whole night. They could be bickering. The fact that that person gets to have someone really just makes me feel peachy.
Add snow, mistletoe, and the fuckin' Gingerbread Parade this coming Friday and you may understand why the Wine Shop BETTER have it's Mavrodano wine in ASAP. Because the whole entire bottle's worth is going into my stomach. No wine glasses necessary.
So! I'm off to work out. Because I'd be damned that the next time I'm out to see douchebags and ex-friends that I'm not going to be 10 points ahead than I was this time.
Smarter, snarkier, and classier? 1
Talent & Skill? 2
Shoot tequila better than all of the NMU Alpha Gams (and take that, frat-boy!)? 3
World traveled? 4
Eye contact capabilities? 5
And we can see why in the ways of How I Met Your Mother, I definitely won the other night.
