If another person asks me what I'm doing this Saturday I'm going to be sick.
And for the record,
No I'm not going to need that little black dress.
No I'm not going to wear my pretty new knickers.
No I'm not getting wined, dined and then fucked.
No I'm not going to be lonely and miserable at home.
No I'm not one for the commercial correctness of long-stemmed roses.
No I'm not bitter.
No I'm not resentful. Really.
No I'm not going to need your sympathy vote.
No, single life isn't all that bad, it just takes getting used to.
No I will not get drunk, silly and teary while watching the nauseatingly maudlin romantic comedies they'll have on TV to mock the singles.
No I'm not whinging, just venting.
Oh for Christ's sake, what's criminal about me staying home?
You're preaching to the choir.

Posted by: hikaru on February 14, 2004 11:30 PMit would be just another day if i didn't have to explain the cause of my datelessness to every colleague and family member. it doesn't bother me so much that i didn't have plans for the night, what gets to me is that i have to force the smile when people go through the curiousity-surprise-sympathy sequence of response everytime.
