Life can be so cruel....
I am currently experiencing a certain 'loathing' for all happy couples. Not to offend those of you who are currently in happy, healthy relationships...just know that if I pass you on the street...I'm sending you evil, telepathic thoughts. If I have to be single and slightly bitter...so should everyone else. *sigh* Okay...so it's not a perfect world and there is no way everyone is going to spontaneously break-up (at least until I finally get a super power).
During lunch Saturday, everyone was sitting in the grass chatting and I couldn't help but notice that all of these really young girls had these HUGE rocks on their fingers. What were they doing to achieve that kind of status...where are they meeting these guys and why haven't I found one? Not that I need a huge rock...at this point, I'd be happy with just getting some play...

Don't worry Linny, I'm sure some blog stalker would be willing to give you some play. Just add a real photo and an e-mail address and let the stalking commence. Seriously, I can't believe someone as funny as you isn't attracting guys all the time.
I knew a girl once that refused to even consider a proposal unless she got 5 carats (sp). And yes, she and her hubby are divorced now. Umm ... hello.
Well Linny you have not found anyone that deserves to have some one like you. And when you find someone they will kiss the ground you walk on.
Just think of it this way you dont have to put up with there shit.
i rarely quote my parents is a positive note.. "a wedding is no indication of the marriage" either is the ring. and just for the record i was in your shoes the first time -and got married for the ring, the registry and to be married - to bad i picked the wrong guy... you are too funny and bright to need a practice marriage..
Shooting 'em daggers here in Okla. :) Seriously, you're witty and smart.. one day the perfect guy will come along & then others will be shooting daggers at you with their eyes! :)
It's ok Linny,
I'm working towards getting my own rock....join me!
:)
Because you are such a fantastic person, the good ones are gonna be intimated. Those young girls with the rocks are most likely getting married to a big Loser.
Ah, a 'problem' I can understand ;-). The thing is, we can always get some, but it is the quality that is elusive - there just are not that many 'perfect' guys around, ones that are worth hanging on to. I cannot promise you, you will find what you are looking for, just as I cannot be sure of it myself, but given the fact you obviously possess a great many fabulous qualities (and boobs that would get you a job at Hooters ;o)), you have every chance of attracting spells of men and surely between one of them, there will be one deserving of your infinite qualities.
Patience is...a buggar!
I'm betting you'll find a honey soon~ I'm sending you some 'come and get me' vibes... well not me, but you :o)
I am very happily married but I must say cherish your single time because once you're married you will sometimes look back on many aspects of the single days fondly.
For example I can't pack up and move to the other side of the continent like I've wanted to some for some time now because Hubby isn't ready for that...things like that...minor problems like that.
Compliments ALL around eh Linny....you've got quite the fan. =)
Amen. AMEN!
I am getting a little sick of seeing semi eveloved simians walking hand in hand with some super hot chick. DC is flipping crazy. Meeting women is all about the job. Whatsyournamewhatdoyoudo is an entire breath for everybody here. Anyway, the rocks you were seeing were probably cheap clear diamonds if not cubic zirconium. I am working part time and I could buy a five carat diamond. Diamonds are all about color and lustre. People often have no freaking clue that a blueish or reddish or yellow diamond is far more rare and beautiful than some piece of glittery glass looking crystalized carbon.
Girl...
...I've had rings...
...And rings are for suckers.
Go for the hot girl, single-and-oh-so-happy status.
Come...Join me...We shall be fabulous together! ;)

I bet the rocks are fake and they bought them them selves, just to look happy and successful...
You guys are so incredibly sweet. I'm definetly feeling a bit better this morning...maybe I'll dial my 'death rays'down to 'stun rays.'
And for the record, I haven't dated in 5 months and before my ex and I had gotten back together...it had been 3 years w/0 dating anyone....
Well, the 1 1/2 carat rock I bought my ex... I don't really want to talk about that right now...
But I agree, they do make me want to blow chunks sometimes...
Better to be alone that date an ars*!
Here's the paradox. Nothing makes you appreaciate being single more than being married. Shame you can just be "married" for the weekend so the rest of the week you can get on your knees and thank sweet jesus you're single again. lmao
I know it sucks, even dating I see other people, ain the their back or khakis are ironed and primed out. I am still wrinkled, and feel that way most of the time. Except at work I do iron my shirts. L
They're just cubic zirconias.
They caught those telepathic thoughts and later told me that they're fake rocks, because you are, in fact, so great that they needed to make you feel envious of something!
I used to think like that and always dated loser guys just for the sake of trying to find "him". In the end, when I stopped and actually took time for myself and forgot about that eternal search, I found the best guy in the world. I know that sounds cliche, and I used to think it was too, but it happened to me. And now, marriage or the registries are all totally irrelevant and just a minor thought for the future, second to the fact that I have found someone great.
I'm with you Linny... I mean on where do you find a decent guy to get some action! I don't want to get married anytime soon! I just want to have some fun for awhile, but where do I find these guys? I haven't done this in forever... I can tell it isn't going to be easy is it?
Just know that a lot of those people who look happy are actually miserable and want out or are being cheated on or cheating on their partner. Some women I am sure look at your in your single state and wish they had not gotten married. The grass is always greener comes to mind. I am happily single and I will only become recoupled if I am happily recoupled. Don't let it get to you...enjoy your freedom :)

AMEN SISTER, so with you on that!!!!!!!!!
*sob sob* ;)
Princess...I have no idea what you mean... :0)
Linny...LOL that's BULLSHIT, but it amazes me that i'm the only one who's picking up on it...either that, or no one else thinks it's cute and worth mentioning.....
DIT - fucking - TO.
Although, if I had a super power, I would fly. Then I would just knock all the saps down and stuff.
BTW, you see the rocks, but have you seen the guys? They're probably trolls.
I think I'll just take the rock and not the man problems that come with it!
Did you read my post about "uptight squares"? Granted, not all married or soon-to-be married couples are uptight squares. But it makes me feel a lot better to tell myself that all of them are. And they are! Really!
Well, mainly what they are is smiley in public and snarling in private. Keep reminding yourself, as Bridget Jones did, that 50% of marriages end in divorce. And that's expensive and heart-breaking--much MUCH better to stay single!
