Slice of contentment. It tastes like raspberry cheesecake.

My bed looks like an absentminded and slightly deranged single person sleeps in it. It's beautifully made up most of the time in the sense that the comforter is always pulled up tight and the pillows arranged, but there's a tangle of blankets on top of the comforter, a large and cumbersome body pillow, and at any given time, there's a snarl of

I love hearing that you love being single. I always felt that way whenever I was single.

[cielamara]

Your icon made me LOL for real. :D And yes, I'm fairly independent in these matters. I'm capable of having a fully-realized romance in my head, I don't necessarily need an active partner in this.

And taking that even further: even though I used to go out with friends most of the time, I still kinda loved going to a nice restaurant alone. And on V-day? Screw that. I bought MYSELF a gift and a treat. ;)

I would, but I have no money.

I LOVE going out to eat by myself! I did that when I was in Maine over the summer. There was a restaurant in downtown Waterville called the Last Unicorn and the first day I saw it, I BEGGED the girls I was with to go there for lunch. We didn't that week. Or the next week. So, on my night off a few weeks later, I got dressed up, walked about a mile or so to cash my paycheck so I'd have some money, called a taxi into town, picked up my laundry (oh, I looked so funny...I was all dressed up but still had two armfuls of silly camp bracelets and a DUFFLE BAG in the chair across from me at the table) and damned if I didn't eat there by myself. I drank half a pitcher of sangria, wrote in my journal, ate baked brie with fruits and fresh bread, had a bowl of wild mushroom soup, and was in a state of utter euphoria. Everyone was so surprised I went by myself, but dammit, I wanted to go.

And God, the food was exquisite.

Your asterisks go nowhere. :(

Sorry, sorry. I got distracted by Snoring!Cat there at the end.

My bed too.... my bed too.

[cielamara]

Your bed is also a nest? :D

That's what I love about water, especially deep water. The attraction of going down, down, until there is perfect silence and all you hear is your heart beat.

I really need to take up scuba diving or something.

RE: asterisk #1: DITTO.

RE: asterisk #2: YES, except I turn into a doormat who ignores her friends instead of someone who yells and fights.

RE: asterisk #3: YES, YES and YES.

RE: baths: YES. Except for when I run my baths with lots of bubbles, because then I get distracted and play with the bubbles instead. But as far as the submerging thing, I did that a lot when I was a kid after the divorce. I wonder now if I just liked doing that for fun, or if subconsciously I was trying to find some sort of peace.

Ilubb.

1) Who is the one you always want?
2) I do this as well. I yell and fight and then immediately regret it and fall all over myself with guilt. It's ugly.
3) I knew you'd be here when you saw that. :D
4) Oh, yes. No submerging with bubbles. I'd never get my hair clean and it'd be angry for days.

Ilu2bb.

1) Sigh. I wish I knew. The closest I've ever been to who and what I want is Kyle. There's a lot of things, even with all his asshattery, that just... make me swoon. In the back of my mind, I'm terrified that he's the closest I'll ever get, since there's no real chance for us anymore. I'm hoping to be proven wrong.
2) It sucks. :(
3) :D :D :D Our poor Cam bb, though.
4) DITTO. My hair would hate me. :(

[cielamara]

1) No, that would indicate that your life is over, and I think it's far from it. Though you're already painfully awesome, I think you will continue to grow and bloom as you go on in life.
2) Meh indeed.
3) I knooow. He's got to go see a specialist.
4) Our hair would abandon us.
