Confirmed bachelor......

When you're in your mid-twenties (I rufuse to think of myself in my late-twenties.... that's next year) conversations about relationships are always interesting. I suspect it's because people are getting older and worried that they're going to miss-the-boat and be left-on-the-shef and all that jazz.
One of the social groups that I've always found just a little annoying are what I shall call 'the smug-couples'. These are the people who through love (or possibly desparation) have found each other and want everyone to know just how happy they are together. "Oh we did this together; Oh we did that together....." they become less of two indviduals but seem to merge into a single person. Like one of these Hollywood couples who the media put the names together (yeah, I can't think of any d: I don't do celebs).
While there might be people who fall into such a category and who suspect that my feelings of such are due to the fact that I "simply haven't found the one" or "just jelous" they are missing the simple fact that while, yes, I am single, if I were not it wouldn't be something that I would bring up in conversation. If asked, maybe, but not by myself. What this means is that while you will never get a post here with me anouncing that I'm off the market, you might get one that along the line of "oh, btw, I've been told that people might like to know that I got engaged last month......"
Likewise, I also find the Singletons who are desperately on the hunt for a partner, just slightly amusing. To any that might be reading I would like to point out that I don't find you outright laughable, it's just you're talking to me about how long it's been since you last had a boy/girlfriend and I've been single a lot longer than you have. Remember.....???
Your pleas of; "Why can't I find someone nice....???" don't fall on deaf ears, but I may have less sympathy than I might have otherwise.
Having noticed a distinct lack of snow pictures from our recent weather I've included a photo from my bedroom window;
and while I did try to stay up for the All Star game last night, with neither Channel five working and NHL.com playing the Young Star game from the day before instead of the ONLY GAME PLAYING LAST NIGHT I went to bed. We (East) lost btw...... (12-6)
