The Prime Characteristic (Gabrielle)
I have a rant sitting in my head that will probably never see the light of day about how being single feels like the sole defining characteristic of my life right now. It seems sometimes that anything and everything I do, or think, or say, or write has, at its core, something to do with being single.
So, Raquel and I were talking last night and somehow the conversation turned to vomit stories. We merrily exchanged vomit stories until one of us asked how we got onto this topic. We traced the conversation back through several incarnations and, lo and behold, it had started with us talking about being single! We can’t even have a conversation about barfing without it revolving around us being single! Well, at least I was right. That always makes me feel better.
I TOTALLY understand. Sometimes, I think I have special glasses with “Singleness” lenses through which I view everything. And no one else sees what I see. Although, I’m hard-pressed to understand the relationship of singleness and vomit.
