I’m *that* single person now in a group of friends.
I went out last night with friends and experienced one of those moments that you have on TV. One of my friends was complaining about a sore neck, and asked another friend if there was a better technique for giving head. I think that’s what was said, by that time when I realised what was being said, I decided to tune out. I didn’t have a lot to say on the subject since I am single and haven’t touched a man in years.
I did notice that the people next to us kept staring as we talked about periods, sex, condoms, and the pill and why Depo-Provera (unsure of the spelling) can be bad. I quite like having my periods but apparently it stops periods in women who take it. I felt like I was in a sex and the city episode. Not that I am Carrie or anything but probably my friend was Sam and I am that innocent brunette chick.
Today I went out with another friend from work, JJ, who rang me from someone else’s house… a male friend. When she rocked up at the cinema we decided not to do the movie thing, but to go window shopping, get food and coffee and gossip. Seems like she struck it lucky with a friend of hers… so she can be Carrie. I’m still stuck in a in between spot with MM.
I told my friends last night about MM a bit… just that I had met someone. Now my friends have decided that his nickname is Mr Lumpa Lumpa. There’s a full circle with my friends… when we all met I was the only one in a relationship. Now they are all in relationships and I am single. They talk about my love life and lack of it, instead of us talking about someone else’s who was single. So I told them that if Mr Lumpa Lumpa and I worked out, I’d talk about him more. Till then, I ignored everything they asked.

Yes. Being single in a sea of smug marrieds/non singles isn’t fun.
My new workplace is interesting. They’re all younger and assuming I’m the slightly strange spinster from hell.
Strange how things work out.
I’m also apparently being uncooperative in my “lovelife” I have 3 single male friends left in our old crew. They all things they’re in with a chance now that I am the only single woman out of the entire bunch. I guess you could call that playing the odds, cept they’re the biggest bunch of socially incontinent people I have ever known. Apparently my unwillingness to “try them out” is considered being very uncooperative. Oh, that and the few married people figure just because i’m single, I would be willing to have an affair with them now.
Seriously…….why the @#$% do people automatically assume when you’re single youl’ll accept the first thing with a penis that walks through the door..or that your morals have somehow abandoned you in your time of singledom and lack of sex.
By the way, sorry for the radio silence. Life has been mad, there are updates on my LJ. Talk to you soon!
