I’m single. And I don’t want to mingle.
Why is it considered out of the ordinary for someone to want to be alone? Why is it that when someone is broken up, the standard response is “don’t worry, you’ll find someone else”, or “I have a single friend, and he has the same hair color as you, so I can set you both up”.
Being single was my choice, as is staying single. Note that my intro line didn’t say “I’m single not ready to mingle” – that would imply that I’m crying all the time and eating ice cream and cookies for dinner while watching The Notebook. Instead, I have no interest to find someone new. I’m shooting zombies in Left 4 Dead 2 while drinking a good beer and watching The Big Bang Theory (I’ve got to have some kind of background noise, those zombies can be scary). It’s really nice to not have to depend on someone else to spark happiness in me, nor do I have to deal with the disappointment that is an inevitable occurrence in relationships.
It’s so freakin’ natural for humans want to have another human to call their own. I’m sick and tired of being somebody’s somebody. This is the longest stretch of time that I’ve been single since… a long time ago. And I am in love with my life.
Can’t you see how happy I am?
Reblogged this on Bradley.
Wow thanksa bunch!
If I said “you’ll find somebody soon” in some other comment, now I feel like a huge jackass. So thank you for that. You won’t find anyone anytime soon, or something. Is that what you want me to say? HUH? IS THAT WHAT YOU W- *runs away crying*
This post actually was inspired by your assurance that I will find someone
not a problem, influencing a post is a good thing. Maybe I’ll set you on fire next
I am on fire, girlfriend! And that’s some fabulous fire! *snap* *snap* *snap*
What do you want us to say? That you won’t ever find anyone and you’re doomed to die alone?
Ooo girrrrllll, you best reko-nize!
Ok that doesn’t sound too appealing either. I want you to tell me that I will become a famous artist and have a successful career and receive a doctorate in Art History and I’ll travel the world. THAT is what I want to hear
!
You will become the female Scott Adams (Dilbert) – no, the female Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes). Your art will be carried in newspapers all over the world, and all your strip compilation books will be bestsellers. Speeches you give will command $100k per appearance. You will receive honorary doctorates from five different colleges and universities. Men will throw themselves at you. A few will stick. And that’s gross.
Awww, thanks Edward! The support of a friend like you is priceless. Only took you about fifteen times to say the right thing, but that is ok
You know what they say – fifteenth time is the charm. I meant all of that, too.
wow, i’m TOTALLY loving this
aw thanks! ^_^
DIE, ZOMBIES!
Most people’s life, as was said by the poet Rumi 800 years ago, is a frantic running from Silence, from being alone because there is always the chance that deep seated stuff will surface and no one wants to deal with that so people go to extra measures to surround themselves with persons that will not challenge their stay in their self contain bubble.
Most people unlike you don’t have the testicular fortitude to be alone , want to be alone or articulate that. You get points for that. You also get points for drinking beer and playing left for dead. I have enver watch the big bang theory because im so busy keeping it real.
Peace out
MrMary
One must always make time for some proper zombie smashing. Kudos to you during this hang time. Have you seen Cameron Crowe`s “Singles”? It`s a movie that speaks volumes about the lives we lead, with or without company. There`s a quote you might appreciate it from it: “People need people, Steve. It has nothing to do with sex. OK, maybe 40 percent. 60 percent. Forget it.”
Just wanted to say you have a great site and thanks for posting!…
Hahaha another awesome doodle.
I have the same thing when playing zombie games. You’re better though, I covered my eyes and gave the phone back to hubby. Couldn’t handle the pressure!
