Esoteric Bowl

The time has come once again for the single person within to take notice of all the couples that surround me. Everywhere I go there they are holding hands, laughing together, and *gulp* sharing intimacy. This personal awareness of all these couples generally intensifies twice a year, somewhere in the Spring and then again during the Christmas Season.

I don’t mind being single. Really, I don’t. Being single provides a certain freedom, independence, ample time to concentrate on personal growth, and uhm, did I mention freedom? Oh sure, there are some downsides to being single. Couples never have to live through the room-silencing experience of hearing a waiter announce “Table for one?!” And couples don’t ever pretend to be talking to someone in the other room when the pizza delivery person arrives at the door with a large pizza. But there are some advantages to living the single life, and here are a few that I could come up with:

* Having access to more than half of a shelf in the medicine cabinet.

* The toilet-seat is never in the wrong position.

* Always being dressed correctly before going out.

* No inquiries about friends of the opposite sex.

* Football triple-header: not a problem.

* Use of more than three hangers in the closet.

* Pasta for breakfast, eggs and toast for dinner.

* Waking in the morning and having the blanket.

* More quality time to spend with imaginary friend.
