Lonely Dick

The other day my nephew asked me if I had a boyfriend. I told him no. He said, "You will get one soon. And he will be handsome." I don't know why he told me that, but kids are kind of intuitive, so maybe he knew that I felt lonely.

It randomly popped into my head that I have been single for almost a year. Being single is great! You can do what you want, when you want, and no one is there to question you. But to me, that's the problem with being single. I guess the hardest part is not having someone to talk to about the boring things that happen every day. Yes, I have friends and co-workers I can talk to but, they are not someone who I can be intimate with intellectually. That's that saddest part.

As a kid, you have your family to talk to. Your siblings who will begrudgingly listen to all your boring school stories. You also have best friends you can tell everything to. But as adults, everyone is busy, and although friends listen, they are not there 24/7 because they have their own lives to live. Now I live alone, with Mallow, after living with someone for 5 years. When I come home I am greeted with snuggles and kitten kisses but humans crave other human interaction. Although I may or may not sometimes talk to Mallow, I do wish someone was here to talk to at the end of the day. That's the part I miss the most.

Next week I will be moving from Garden Grove to South OC. I do not like this city, and I do not like Orange County in general, but circumstances being what they are, I am forced to live here for at least another year. If I am going to be here still, then I am going to live where I was the happiest. I am moving to Aliso Viejo. Nestled between rolling green hills, people on bikes, and bleached-blonde OC moms, I will be.

I dunno what this summer or next year will bring, but I will keep my heart open and maybe my nephew's words will come true... for the record, he doesn't HAVE to be handsome. HEHEHE!!!

PS. I watched 3rd Rock from the Sun. You'd think that a show about aliens, one of which is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, would be awesome to ME of all people. But I was, sadly, quite disappointed with it. #whatdoiwatchnow ???
