But… but… they told me that was a Thai restaurant! I _thought_ some of the decor was a little odd…

Hi, another single checking in. I brought more Killians. Nice meeting you all. Anyone else want to sit in a corner and have an interesting conversation?

Looooooooooooooooooooong time single person checking in. I haven’t had a girlfriend in 9 years (no, that is not a typo). And I’m currently pulling my hair out to try to meet people.

I’ll go get some espressos.

Holy Crap! This party is still going on? Well, let me look for my psuedo-hook up and see what I can get going. Now, what was her name again?

**Lsura** ,  
hi! 🙂 You give your location as “Probably in the libarary.” Back in the days when I went to university I actually liked hanging out in the library. Too bad we can’t “bump” into each other in the stacks. 😉

I’m likely in the library because that’s why I’m in grad school - to get a master’s in library and info science here in beautiful East Tennessee.

But…being in library school means I know all the hidden nooks and crannies in the building. 😉

Hahahaha… nah, that was just my CD collection. I don’t have any MP3s on my computer. On my brother’s computer, there are lots… but I wouldn’t know how to list them all other than by typing them all out. Not what I want to do now.

I’m feeling veeeeery single right now; spent a chunk of yesterday moving \*\*jeevmnon’s \*\* stuff into \*\*jeevgurl’s \*\* apartment, where they will horrify his strict Indian parents by shacking up until his new place is constructed. (and after that, who knows?)

On the bright side, it’s a sunny Sunday morning, my cat is curled up on the sofa, purring, and I just took a pan of choloate bread pudding with slivered toasted almonds out of the oven. Anyone want a slice?

I feel like a renegade single, sneaking in here after I’ve been posting in all those dating advice threads lately. But \*chocolate bread pudding with slivered toasted almonds[i/]!

See, this is what I like best about being single…you can be outside on the deck barbecuing hamburgers, get accidentally clipped by a low-flying seagull, fall over the railing into the gardenias, hit your head on the ground, lose consciousness, wake up four days later, stumble back into the house…and the party’s still going!

[sub]It’s just too bad I missed the arranged marriages and the lesbian light-saber dueling. Slightly cold hamburger, anyone?[/sub]

> \*\*Oh please, **Eva Luna** , can I have a slice? 😛 (lip-licking smilie for lack of drooling smilie) (And you were thinking why I am still single!) \*\*

Of course, silly! Otherwise I’ll have to eat it all myself, and then I’ll be as big as a hippopotamus. And then I’ll _definitely_\* feel hopelessly single. Would you like a nice, hot, strong cup of coffee to go with that? Or maybe you’d prefer to O.D. on sugar, in which case how about a cup of steaming hot chocolate with a sprinkle of cinnamon? Anyone else want anything, while I’m up? Don’t y’all need to replenish your strength after all the lesbian orgies and other assorted panting?

Besides, drooling isn’t always a bad thing; there’s just a time and a place for it…

**Eva Luna** :

hot chocolate with some cinnamon could be a powerful aphrodesiac. It warms things up (!!!), adds chocolate (!!!), it’s topped with “spice” (!!!) and lastly, it’s “steaming” (!!!).

I’ll just move over on the couch to make some room…

Well, then I hesitate to think what might happen if you like yours with whipped cream (hot chocolate, that is)…

I like a hot chocolate drinker that thinks with her head. 😉
