Jumping on the band wagon

Feb 27, 2012 14:58

You know what I hate? Constantly always and forever being the fifth wheel. I hate it. I feel like I am in the way and don't belong, pretty much always with my friends now. Not their fault. It is just that EVERYONE is a couple now. Everyone ( Read more... )

What happened to the promising fellow?

And I know what you mean--when I was in graduate school I was so lonely all the time, and ALL my friends were in relationships (or a kajillion miles away on the internet). And you can't show up at a partnered person's house with a bottle of wine at 10PM because you might interfere with Special Snowflake Couple Time.

I swear to you that you can show up at my house any time of day or night and I will throw Pat out of bed so you can get under my duvet and nap while I play WoW ;)

Don't worry about I always think these things work out in the end, one way or another.

If it makes you feel better I'm 25 never been in a relationship with anyone. I don't see it as the be all and end all of everything. Then again I think I'm odd like that.

By the way if you want a friend to talk to email me or Skype me (IM only, don't do voice chat I'm afraid). I'm entropic-angel on there as well.

We should catch up over beer/coffee/ whisky at Conpulsion (I can tell you the story of the crazy vampire hunter guy of GEAS).

*Hugs* drop me a line if you need to talk, or drop me a line anyhow. We miss you.

Your mom is totes out of line, by the way. I know your mom would never in her life dream of doing anything intentionally to hurt you, but people have their blind spots sometimes and she really shouldn't be saying that.

And in the vein of unsolicited advice, a certain Katie-bird we both know found true love through on-line dating, so maybe there's something to that. She also found true love with an Icelander, and you're pretty close to Iceland, so maybe that's a good place to check out the goods. There's only 300,000 of them on that island and they're all related so it's probably a rough dating scene for locals. Jus' sayin'. But then again, not everyone likes their men big and burly with piercing eyes and scraggly beards with names like Lief and Erik.

Or if you're feeling up for some schadenfreude, you say that everyone is a couple NOW. Statistically speaking, very few couples make it to eternity. You may have front row seats to watching those same relationships collapse. Could be fun! ;)

My mom told me she's in no hurry for grandchildren, but would rather like granddogs. I am anxious to give them unto her!

H's parents have been really good about not pressuring us, so I managed to manufacture my own pressure feeling like I kind of owed them a grandchild because they let me borrow their car. It's weird. My brain doesn't always think things that make sense. When I'm hungry, I sometimes become completely convinced that H is trying to starve me to death.
