Valentines Day blues 2 days early

What can i say? I'm impatient.

Random reporter:"And another record broken by Amy Victoria George, who is alone on Valentines for the 19th year in a row!Impressive stuff Amy- But do you think you'll be able to make it your 20th next year?"
Me: "Not if Matt Bellamy comes to his senses. "

Sigh. Woe is me. Unlucky in Love. Alone again. and all that other slash-my-wrists-and-call-me-Judy gubbins.

I'm not really all that bothered by it to be honest- it's not the single-ness that bothers me, more the overbearing and unnecessary sympathy you get from those in couples- you know, like when you bump into them on a night out and this conversation happens;

(About the following Conversation; single people will have had this happen to them so many times in their lives by now that they will be able to predict the exact way the conversation will go and so prepare themselves readily enough so that they don't get annoyed and punch someone in the face)

Boring Couple:Hey!
Single Person:(Thinking 'Bloody hell'):Oh hi!how are you?
BC(looking dreamily at each other):we're fiiine
SP(Looking annoyed):Well, that's good then- Yay for fine-ness, right?
BC:And who are you out with tonight- Anyone interesting for us to meet, or are you by yourself?Like last year?
(Why do they make it sound like 2 questions- just in case you can't remember you were alone last year.they might think you need reminding. that's considerate of them!)
SP:Nope- just me
BC(Simultaneously getting sympathetic looks on their faces and getting a sing-song baby voice on):Aww, well, don't worry, you'll find someone
SP(Gritting teeth together):Uh-Huh
BC(still with voice and look):Yeah- and there's always next year!We might even know someone who we could set you up with if you like
SP:Er, no, i'm al-
BC(interrupting):What about Darren from the office?Yeah, Darren's a lovely chap-
SP:Darren got arrested for attempted murder-
BC(interrupting):Ah, we haven't seen him in ages!wonder what he's up to these days?
SP:he's in prison-
BC(interrupting):we could sort you both out no problem, What's your number again?
(The single person walks away. the boring couple don't even notice as 'Their song' comes on and they begin to dance)

It's happened to the best of us.

I dunno. I just figured that there wouldn't be a three year gap in between my last relationship and...now i suppose. Pfft. Ah well. Relationships can't be all that great, can they?It's like a friendship, except there's an entirely new set of confusing and irritating rules and regulations that never make sense to the other person, and end up with arguments galore. unless you are like my younger sister Katie and her boyfriend Jack (who i set up by the way- nicely done) who've been together WELL over 2 and a half years now, and coming up to three, and who never argue, except over useless crap that they don't even remember the next day. those two have got it good. I suppose i miss the fact that i don't have something like that, but at the same time the only relationship i've ever been in was utter crap so how can you miss something you never had, right??

Woah, deep and moody stuff. i sound like some whining, angsty teenager...
Enjoy =]
