Halloween party last night. It was fairly entertaining, with two annoying occurrences.* Had yet another run-in with my friend's boyfriend who likes to lecture me and embarrass the hell out of me in front of friends and strangers. Wish there was some way to avoid him, but that would involve avoiding one of my best friends and I can't do that. I try to explain to the man how much his actions piss me off, but he usually just listens, nods his head, and the next time I see him proceeds to act in the same way.

Some people just can't seem to understand that a woman can be perfectly happy without a man. It just boggles their minds. They assume I must be fooling myself and really I'm miserable. I remember I once had a friend who decided I was suicidal because I was single. Where she got the idea I was suicidal confuses the hell out of me much less that it was because I was single.

I am a Singleton (tm Bridget Jones). I am quite happy in that state 95% of the time. 1% of the time, I do wish I had somebody. The other 4% is spent in the aggravating task of dealing with family, friends, boyfriends of friends, etc that can't understand that I'm happy. I wish people would just mind their own business when it comes to my life, seeing as it is mine and all.

*The other crappy occurrence was biffing it on the icy front steps on the way out. It has to happen at least once a winter so I got it out of the way early. Winter can really be a pain in the ass (huh? huh? Yeah, I know, keep my day job).

Maybe it was the fact that that topic was singleness that caused me to misread

They assume I must be fooling myself

as

They assume I must be fondling myself

Hey, ain't nothin' wrong with that.

I remember his type. I'll bet you dollars to donuts that he wants to get in your pants. He prolly thinks he's charming. He also is prolly mistaking your annoyance for passion and thinking "oh yeah, she wants some o' this." The sad thing is that this tactic has prolly worked for him before.

I would think that to if he wasn't dating my best friend and they are very happy and committed to each other to the point of discussing marriage.
