Ever feel like a lonely son of a bitch?
Well I surely do.
Someone with as much potential energy as I, who lives in the burbs, is destined to be bored with life. I sit and write. I sit and read. I stand and cook. Then i flipping sit and eat. Across the table from me sits no one. While I'm cooking, no big, brawny, 8 mile-lookin bwoy comes up behind me and whisks me away to a slumber of love making and adult swim. I religiously wake up, go to work, sit there, come home, sit some more, sleep, then wake up in my bed...sitting.
I'm tired of sitting all damn day, and I know that it is up to me to find things to do with my life. Its hard though when you're broke, and you live a considerable distance away from the epicenter of your town. A club is like a pilgrimage every weekend which comes down hard on gas and impedes on my drinking desires. Social life in Rochester is also kind of wizzack. I don't mind seeing the same faces, but when those same faces are wearing the same clothes they wore in high school--eh--thats a bit of a problem.
So i grumpily become the heavy load amongst my friends as my forced smile is tainted with my actual disgust and my dance moves turn into an R. Kelly two step that ages me about 15 years.
Have people really forgotten how to have fun? Our going out habits have even become routine . Get wasted, risk life getting to club, drink more, dance, risk life going back home, wake up, drink Gatorade and ginger ale, eat ramen, and do it again. I basically just described every weekend of my college career. But now, at the ripe old age of 22, I'm looking for a different type of fun. Intimate fun. That corny, disgustingly cute kind of fun. Someone to pop popcorn with--to sit and watch an over-rated movie that we can pick apart and criticize. Someone to work out with or just flippin chiiiil. But nooooooo. We can't have that kind of fun anymore, because all of our friends are in relationships so they have no time for us. Or, any dudes or gals we might fancy--are too busy fancying someone else.
I fit into the category of someone who is generally afraid of love (or lough for that matter) only because I have invested so much time into something that obviously has not rendered any meaning to me yet. So, people like us are really just looking for a friend of the opposite sex who can hug us in a way that our same gender could not fulfill...but not necessarily someone to shag. I don't think what i'm looking for is a friend because I already know that males and females can't be close friends unless distance keeps them apart, but what i am looking for is a companion who i can chill with and who doesn't feel the need to drop to one knee and propose--
but who can drop to both knees and make it rain.
j/k...sort of.
