Screwed

I think if I ever become single again I'm screwed. It seems like everyone:
  • hikes
  • likes the outdoors
  • goes 4-wheelin'
  • is into knitting
  • hits the bars on a regular basis
  • fishes
  • reads classic novels
  • listens to NPR
  • belongs to a theater group
  • has multiple cats
  • has drama,
  • runs marathon

I have either never done any of those things or I've done it once and didn't care for it. I am a city boy so that rules out being an outdoorsy kind of guy. I'm pass the age of bar hopping. I'm far from a redneck. The kind of theater I like most involves popcorn and laughing. I'm not opposed to getting dressed up and seeing a play though.

The way I see it, I'm screwed as a single.

This week has been fairly shitty week at work. At home too. I know that previous sentence is a fragment. Deal with it.

I've been colloborating with a new girl on a project and I think she was a man in a former life. Maybe even this life. I've seen enough documentaries on Thailand to recognize a crossdresser.

Another woman on this same project bugs the crap out of me. She tends to answer questions, even if she's not the one being asked. I HATE THAT. If I ask someone a question there's a purpose. I want to see if they know the answer. A lot of times I already know the answer but I need to see if the other person does. If this lady is within earshot of the question she will stop what she's doing just to try be the one that answers. Why? Obama really needs to sign an executive order that allows me to swiftly kick people in the solar plexus when they do that.

I'm crossing my fingers for a better weekend. Either that or I'm waiting for that Obama's chop on that order.

so basically what you're saying, if that list of deficiencies is to condsidered accurate, is that if my husband ever wises up and actually leaves me, i'm going to be stuck in singledom hell too? hm. maybe i should do that "special" thing he likes more than once a year...

Do that 'special' thing for him if that keeps you in his good graces. You do not want to be single if any combination of six of the mentioned don't describe you.
