Remember, we’re all in this alone*

At times when I’m feeling particularly lonely, in lieu of my iPod or a CD, I will listen to the radio. The reason for this is kind of idiosyncratic. I do this because if I choose something to listen to on my iPod, I don’t feel “connected” to anyone, anywhere. If I turn on the radio, I know that a multitude of people are listening to that very song at that very same time. And it makes me feel less alone.

Weird, huh?

This reminds me of a fantasy (well, it’s not really a fantasy. A fantasy would involve cheesecake, Keith Urban, and many, many spankings) I have every once in a blue moon. I imagine myself driving along, minding my own business, and stopping at a red light. All of a sudden, a great song I have not heard in years comes on the radio. I crank the speakers and begin singing and bopping along. I look to my right, and the person in the car next to me is listening to the same radio station, doing the exact same thing as I am. We each notice what the other is doing, and laugh and wave

This person may or may not be my future husband.

And he may or may not look like Clive Owen.

But I digress.

Also when I’m feeling lonely, I will opt for the city route to and from work rather than the back roads, just so I can feel more CONNECTED. To actual PEOPLE. Wow, this is making me sound really desperate.

I don’t know where all this loneliness crap is coming from. Usually, I am a very independent person. This newfound loneliness? I do not like it. I wish for it to go away.

On an unrelated note, Aunt Flo came through town this week. HALLELUJAH. I was seriously worried there for a couple weeks. Adam and I had been having “relations” almost every day, and we had a little prophylactic mishap that had us extremely worried. So yay for that.

On yet another unrelated note, this is making me giggle this morning.

Happy Friday, everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!
