v-day is almost upon us!
so i noticed that valentines day is almost here(fuck you hallmark), and yet again i'm single. what ever shall i do? i can't decide if i want to have a party to celebrate being single, which means all my non-single friends can't be invited. or maybe just having a party for everyone. or drinking myself into oblivion

while there is an increasing quasi-philosophical movement in America which claims that people should be perfectly comfortable being single, i've yet to see any science based explanation for it. for that matter, i've yet to see the benefits of this quasi-philosophy; except of course it's terribly pleasant not having to deal with someone's shit. still...women are a small price to pay to have sex with them.
as long as they insist on existing, i will insist on both hating and adoring them. waving a bottle of Aquafina in front of a man dying of thirst is wrong, even when it's a natural product of one's existence. it is wrong, not in a moral sense, although it can be, but mostly in the sense that it wrongs the one whose thirst cannot be slaked. the left of the argument is that by waving the bottle in front of his face, he knows for certain that Aquafina exists, and maybe someday he'll get a bottle for himself.
women torture the unwilling single man. perhaps the other way around too. watching happy couples being happy couples is decidedly unpleasant when one feels loneliest. let skip have his party and enjoy it. he's a man starving, dying of thirst, surrounded by people carrying bottled water and tasty treats; and he's increasingly not even allowed to ask for a drink or a morsel of food, by a society that is trying to tell him everything is just fine.
well perhaps for us, everything is NOT fine. perhaps we want some answers, and failing that we want the chance to be pissed off without being judged for it by those who aren't in our position.

i am a decent person in a relationship. so fucking what. if boy and i are with people, we switch to friend mode. but i forgot that you count lj. so here's my solution (part of which you already took care of when you decided i was too fucking happy for you to handle). i'm about to drop people from my list so i don't offend anyone else. i wouldn't want to offend.

Also, here in 'Frisco there are certainly people who share relationships, although I did not count them in my calculus as I have no interest in polyamory.
You are a decent person in a relationship. Yes, that's true. But irrelevant. No one has claimed you weren't decent. "Boy" and you may indeed switch to "friend mode" but I would have you consider two facts: a) your idea of "friend mode" may not work for the singles around you. b) the singles will still know of your relationship.
Dropping me from your friends list does not hurt my feelings, it will not cause me to change my thoughts or expression. It proves nothing. My best friend wasn't on my friends list for three years because I didn't feel his stuff meshed with mine at the time. Conversely, I still love and care for you, despite having removed you from my friends list.
You chose to take my post personally, rather than seeing it as being a somewhat tongue in cheek rant in support of skip's vague concept of a singles party. Nowhere did I ad hom you Ck, because I love you. I love you even as you choose to air out our personal business in a third party's journal. I can't recall a time that you've offended me. You've disagreed with me, and that's fine, even good. I am disagreeing with you in a small way now, I did so using my bitter-humor voice, and you snapped. Why?
I am disagreeing with you sir! In America we have the right to disagree!
Regardless, I am your friend. You may acknowledge that or not as you choose.
