full title: “why I don’t resort to Facebook or any Social Networking website when I’m sad and alone and cold”

the advantages of being single for more than a year

can be enumerated in many different ways

and patterns.

the topmost pluses, for sure, you know them

so i would be respectful enough not to list them down

because i know, you know.

but since i am aching to write it down, let me just

do a little typing exercise:

* you get to flirt around (in stealth or as openly as what this adverb means to you)

*you don’t carry the guilt of flirting around

*you enjoy solitude at its maximum level

*you don’t force your self to reply to every text msg or whatsoever

*you don’t have to get too jealous and too dramatic because you are jealous of another girl with bigger boobs, cleaner armpits and longer eyelashes

* since you’ve been single for a long time, you get too comfortable about it and you can do things on your own without feeling the ache of wanting to hit every couple you see with a baseball bat

*since you’ve been single for a long time, you get to magnet suitors from different walks of life and various industries and religious beliefs

*you are not being killed subtly because you don’t have to be somebody else just to please the other person

but one day,

you seem to suddenly want to give the status up

and you seem to feel ready of being killed subtly again.

and hell no, it’s not because of a boy from facebook who has this as profile:

 Hobbies:
running instead of walking, skipping instead of running,
burrowing in a soft yielding not-chest not-shoulder, and
telling stories that mostly aren’t true but should be.

Who I’d Like to Meet:
Charles Manson, Colonel Mustard, Van Veen,
the man who hung the stars and
the girl who keeps them clean.

and hell yes,

 i love how mischievous life is, sometimes.
