TM Challenge: Monogamy
Mongamy is kinda like my van-- sometimes it works, other times it's just not leaving the driveway. With Willow, being monogamous came easy. No one else really came into my radar. It was just her and me. Until Veruca, but I'm pretty much tired of talking about that one for the moment.
Before Will, there had been a few girls here and there, but nothing solid. Nothing monogamous. After Will, I was just kind of alone for awhile, figuring it all out. Then there was the water-testing stage. I went to bars, I took people home. One might figure because I got the quiet guy thing going that actually meeting people in a bar is hard. But really it's not. Everyone has a story to tell and a listener whose not prone to the whole interrupting part of conversation is really a plus. Like that robot bartender in Fifth Element who listens silently and occasionally asks people if they want a refill.
I digress. So, there were girls. And then boys. And sometimes both. We were just using each other to fill up the time or whatever emotional void was bothering us at the moment. At that point, I sort of would have thought that monogamy was a non-functioning beast. An antique that always ended with someone fucking it up and backing the van down another driveway-onto new and different things.
Now, I am not really so sure. Not that I’ve tried it lately or anything, but it seems like people can and do make it work every day, so who am I to question? In short, I guess I would say drive the van of monogamy. Or don’t. It, like so many other things in life, makes sense when it doesn’t.
Oh, and I am not sure where the "van as monogamy" comparison came from, but I promise not to use it ever again. It also kind of makes the sense that doesn’t.
