I'm not going to lie to you, things are rough here. i am ready for a break, if not a vacation.

I'd like to climb on my soapbox for a few lines if you don't mind. life is a bit unfair for single people... women definitely, probably men, too. i have come to a conclusion about a question i asked a few months ago. I asked, Can men and women ever really be just friends. I got some good responses, a lot of disagreement, and even some people being shocked that i could even wonder such a thing. Here's my conclusion:

Men and women can be friends, but they usually aren't allowed to be.

as a single woman, i would like to reach out to the attached women out there and reassure you that i will never steal your man. i promise. i personally take offense when someone snubs me because she thinks i'm going to take her guy. and here's two cents for chitty-chatty busybodies: it is possible for a woman of my age to just be single. it doesn't mean i'm a lesbian, or having an affair, or psychologically damaged, or secretly an android. you can't go and conclude that i always want to be single, and you can't conclude that i am desperate for a man. and you can't assume that 'desperate times' will call for 'desperate measures.'

ever wish the world would just fuck off?

on the other hand, two puppies have been directed to new homes. they haven't packed their bags yet, but they have booked tickets. i told the future adopters that the pups can't go until they are 8 weeks. they are really sweet. and i made beef stroganoff for supper. i wish i could get my hands on some caribou... that would be fucking fantastic done this way. it's got more flavour than beef. booo-ring boooo-vine.

snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
