In addition to this blog being my official review site of all things food and HotPants related, it is also the venue through which I pour out my heart-wrenching love stories, battle through my lonely, single days and talk about my cats. Wait. Have I not talked about my cats yet? Or have I? I can't remember. All this working stuff causes me to lose track of my personal life. Kind of. Not really.
I am, by nature, a very social and out-going person most of the time. Sometimes I need time alone to recharge. Like when I was dating Oz, I craved time alone so that I could recharge for another battle of the minds. It was like a constant he-said she-said battle.
So...I have had enough downtime in the last week plus a few days since we broke up, to recharge from 4 Ozes. Is that the plural of Oz? It looks funny. But I digress. That equates to = loneliness! I find myself just absolutely gushing whenever I have the chance to talk to someone. Like today I went to lunch with my coworker and just couldn't stop talking about my life. It was sad, even to me. And he is the one with the new baby. On the up side, we sat there long enough that they gave us each a free soda with purchase coupon to thank us for our business.
My connection to the outside world, and other human beings is now reduced to eHarmony's Guided Communication. I tried searching Craigslist for platonic friends, but even in the just platonic w4w section, everyone is looking for "just friends but maybe more." Um, I have no problem if that's your thing, but I just want a friend and nothing more! Atlanta, by the way, is the second gayest city in the country. No wonder I can't find a date or platonic girlfriends.
Now, I understand that I don't have a car and so it is really hard for me to get around, get out and meet people. Yes, yes, yes. I get it. And, I get that I have only been in HotPants for 51 days. But hey! I have already had 1 breakup! Why can't I make a friend too!
