Current mood:

annoyed

This is not a love song
I've decided that I cannot stand 95% of people who are in relationships. The individuals are fine, especially if/when they are my friends. But together, somehow for some reason, everyone gets super annoying. And clingy. There is absolutely no reason you need to call five times every day when you are not together. There is no justifiable reason for which one should speak in a high-pitched baby voice. None.

Not to say that I haven't been stupid within the three year duration of my relationship, may it rest in peace. Sure, we all get overly analytical sometimes and run scenarios past our friends. We, as chicks and as humans, of course get caught up in stupid technicalities that we would otherwise overlook. So yes, there is some connection between relationship and stupid.

And it's not that I haven't enjoyed someone immensely so that I can't wait to phone them or tell them something lame I saw that made me think of them. Hell, I lived with my exboy and became accustomed to being around at all times. But even still, I needed my own space and my own life to live, sans constant interaction or approval. I just don't see how they completely change your awesome, dependable, resilient friends into insecure, clingy, paranoid freaks.

And for that matter, when I see my friends turn into so and know that this is most likely not the attribute that their boyfriends found attractive in the first place (I hope not, at least), I often wonder how these girls are perpetually accepted as such and encouraged by their guys.

Maybe I just hate unnecessary correspondence. Perhaps all the people I have been attracted to are independent, intelligent and slightly cold hearted. But I know damn well that I've never uttered a baby voice or any other form of unacceptable behavior, called anyone a pet name unless I was being utterly facetious. And I have some sense of when not to annoy the hell out of your friends when talking about/to your man.

I can only think of a few couples that I would go as far as to say I enjoy them both and actually encourage their relationship. And my favorite people broke up this week after some six years together! What the hell! Why do all the annoying couples have to stay together instead?

Ugh I am so happy to not have to deal with this right now. So, so happy to be single.

Nonetheless, I can appreciate the irony in the fact that while I'm writing this, my kitty Lolita has been constantly nudging me and meowing my ear off and I've been undoubtedly encouraging this by giving her attention.
