"ok, I love lesbians, really, I do. BUT, why is it that every one of my dyke friends has to start of a conversation with "Hi, my name is XXXX and I am (single, together, betrothed, unioned, a dwarf porn star etc). "
Seriously, people in this "community" seem totally threatened by status words. Especially if you are someone who is "known" to be single...you know, like known to have the plague or some shit. If you are single, I swear that lesbians feel the need to let you know right up front whether they would shag you are not...regardless of whether you think they look like a dogs ass or the hottest thing since Dolly Parton. Seriously, like 3 conversations this week have started like this:
Me: Hi, I'm Kelly.
Her: Oh, hi, I'm Karen and I am in a happy committed relationship that you have no chance of destroying, home wrecker. Oh and sorry you are single..do you have lupus or something?
Yeah.
Like, I honestly want to start conversations off with, "Hi, I'm Kelly, and yes, desipite what myths exist, I am single AND HAPPY. I am not looking to sleep with you, have you make me breakfast or exchange life maps and yes, I am a fully functioning person without having a second person committed to me. Yes, I chose to talk to you because you seem like someone who would be cool to hang out with, not because I am a lesbian stalker, just someone looking for cool new friends. No really, I am single by choice and this will not change just because I am in your presence or have a drink with you thus forcing you to have to deal with a jealous girlfriend whom you will eventually break up with anyway because I have put you in a compromising position..."
Seriously, grow up people. I swear that I am going to lie when people ask me if I am in a relationship. I am going to make up the ultimate girlfriend that is not around because she is saving malaria stricken pygmies in Northern Africa AND rescuing penguins in Antartica at the same, there for she is never available, but she calls me whenever the Peace-corps show up with cell phones and antibiotics. But really, why do I need to do this?
Me being single allows me to be a total kid when I want to. I walk in and drop my cleats in the middle of my floor and leave them there for hours. I wear boxers all day because I dont want to get dressed, I go out all night and do not worry or feel guilty. I stay home and sleep all day because I feel like it. These are extremes, but you get the idea. I own my stereo and tv choices and if I am something other than happy, I get to feel the emotion instead of hiding or swallowing it just to make a partner happy. Being in relationships was great, but I am a gemini and most of the time, when in them, I feel like all I want is my freedom. I am a good friend because I do not have these attachments and I am more honest with myself right now without being in one. So, yes my insecure peeps, one can be totally fullfilled being single. I have close friends and have delt with the whole "I may die alone" thing and have also dealt with the fact that eventually someone may strike that chord and everything will change, but right now, I would rather be good friends with people, make new connections, go on new roadtrips, experience new things and just enjoy life. I soo do not have time for drama.
ok, rant co
