Happy VD!

It's Valentine's Day and of course it rained like crazy. On top of being single for it, I got drenched on the way home, but was able to let go of my desire to stay dry knowing full well that, well, my clothes are really the only thing that's going to get wet. It's not like I'm made of paper and will break apart if wet.

Single Awareness Day once again is going by without anything really special going on, I would complain about being single, and how today makes me feel miserable, but in all honesty, I like being single. Clearly, since I seem to push away every opportunity to change that that comes along. It's true that I get lonely now and again, but, when I really think about it, I want to be alone far far more than I yearn for the company of others, especially intimate company.

I get tired of the whole, "it's always when you least expect it that something comes along" philosophy. This just seems to me a rationalization method employed by singles to feel better about the fact that their search is as of yet unsuccessful. It is, however, congruent somewhat with my belief that the universe does not provide the opportunity for progress, nor would you realize it were it to, until you're prepared for it, until you've learned the lessons that the universe would have you learn. All the same I still hate hearing people say that. It doesn't come when you least expect it, it comes when it does, and it's just always surprising.

Anyway, my lessons today were fun, I got to eat chocolates, and in exchange I got soaked. I think there are worse outcomes. I could have to deal with V-Day crap, which I was never particularly fond of, so I can't really complain.
