libido, ignited...

there are some serious benefits to being single; you don't have to check in with anyone, you have the whole bed to yourself, you can hang out with girlfriends whenever, you can be a slob if you want, you can eat ice cream for dinner instead of having to make a 5 course meal.  you can rent endless romantic comedies, you can wear your granny panties all weekend and you can fart (you know that shit hurts when you hold it in).

however, there are some serious downfalls to being single; you go on adventures alone, you have to watch scary movies by yourself, you have to always take the trash out, you are frequently the third wheel amongst your married friends, you have to answer the question, "are you dating anyone?" and then listen to yourself spew a bunch of crap on why you aren't dating anyone, you have to kill spiders by yourself and of course the biggest downfall of all there is zippo passion.

the married folks are probably rolling their eyes, "here she goes again crying like a baby about being alone".  trust me, i know that after awhile all that fizzles and you have to work really hard to keep the passion alive, but you married folk have a better chance of revival than i do starting from scratch. 

moving on...

most of the single gig i can tolerate just fine.  so i miss out on a few scary movies, i'm sure they weren't "must sees".  i have to take the garbage out all by myself, no biggie sometimes it is a challenge to schlep the trash out and can constitute as an upper body workout.  spiders, most of them don't bother me at all, but the big ones do and i just pretend that i don't see them.  and in all honesty the libido falls to wayside after a period of time, but what happens when the flame has been ignited?

it is funny how when that part of you is dormant you don't really notice it.  you go through day after day just doing.  however, when someone ignites that flame the feeling consumes your thoughts, makes you desire things you knew you were missing but ignored, and turns you into a bitch in heat.  okay maybe that last bit was a little extreme, but i couldn't help myself.

why is this coming up? 

last week i shared with you that i met a man that captivated me.  i'm still captivated.  it is still very premature, but i am enjoying getting to know him.  do you want to know a little secret?  of course you do.  this is the type of man that after the initial zing wears off i could really like.  he is just a really cool, stand up guy.  so i am a little jazzed and getting off on the excitement of it all.
