Why being ignored is great

I know for some this may seem like a support for marriage but really it is just for my own selfishness and comfort in solitude.

There is this boy I met on the bus last fall. We have hung out a total of three times and during this time I realized that I do not like this boy's company. There are several reasons why this is but one thing that is particularly irksome is that he is a hugger, and I am not, unless I know you well and enjoy being around you. I didn't have to worry about being around him and being hugged because it rarely happened. This week, however,  I discovered that one of my classes is in the same building he has a class. Now I live in fear and am terrified that A) I will see him and B) he will do something no one should do unless they know that I am okay iwith and/or I initiate it, a hug. This is what I get for stepping out of my bubble and talking to someone new on the bus. That is why it is so great being ignored. And this little experience just proved to me even more how much I enjoy my solitude and not having to compromise to actions of another person around me. Ah how grand life is on my own and how beautifully life goes on.

another one's down

So this week was pretty eventful. Lots of engagements announced on facebook where all their closest friend could join in on the love. Yeah I liked a few the statuses myself showing me full-hearted excitement for my friends I haven't seen in two years. Now I don't want you all to think that I'm in any way resentful of people getting engaged who are my age. In fact marriage is the way some of the best movies end. I just enjoy my selfish life far too much to give it up for any man I know. And don't ya'll go saying that can all go changing pretty quickly because I know for a fact that for the number of times I have been told that it has never been a correct assessment. Not that I'm complaining. Life's pretty good when you only have yourself to please.

Anyway, the engagements. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that all the girls my age are biting the dust. After all 20 is technically considered ancient, best get going before you turn 21 when you may be tempted to fill the gap of loneliness with the now legal act of drinking. Regardless about another hundred girls are going down this summer leaving me and the rest of the old maids looking bad because they have yet find someone they would like to spend time and eternity with, let alone date. Alas it can't be helped another one bites the dust and for me, well, life goes on.

yet again

So I went on facebook and there it was two more engagement announcements. There are several of these as of late only there were two in the same day this time. To avoid further lecture, Congratulations to them. But still here it is that shocking realization that if I don't start dating I'm going to be the only single girl in my graduating class at age 22. That's nice. A spinster at age 22 all because I live in Utah and am surrounded by people who are married to their eternal companion. Not that I'm complaining. I am completely fine with being single. There is no reason for me to get married yet. I don't think I will ever be until I'm told that my looks are going and that I better get crackin' because no one is going to want to marry a woman who looks like me. But seeing that I don't live with people who are that brutally honest I think I could safely say that I will never hear those words and therefore I will never be forced to find that one I could tolerate for time and all eternity.
